Annual Report. E. L. Shields, Seoul, Korea.

1905

September 19th to July 5th 1907.

From July 5th 1905 to September 19th^l906,I v/as absent from Seoul on furlough. Therefore last Annual Meeting v;as the first item on my progra:nme after my return.

Upon October 1st I began regular work in Severance Hospital, and have been busy there for, the past nine 'months. 7/e have been trying. to organize a Nurses' Training School along the lines upon Which hiss Edmunds conducts the school in connection with the

omen s Hospital in Seoul.

rifferent conditions necessi-

h . 1

tate different re.gulations in some departments, b^:t up to this time the same general rules and similar uniforms have been used, and there has often been union in cle.ss-vrork, and exchange of nurses to give them the benefit of experience in both hospitals.

. Four nurses have enrolled their names in our Severance L'ospital Register, and one probationer came in a short time age.

AIsI.uAL REPORT OF ESTliER LUO>^S SlilELDb , SEOUL , KOREA.

Sept. laiOOS to July 5, 1907..

Ircm July 5th 1905 to Septemoer 19th 1906 , I was absent , from Seoul on furlough, '.therefore last annual ..iOeting was the fit first ite.- Oii niy progranne fter my return.

Upoii Octooer 1st x began regular work in severance hospital, and have oeen busy there for the past nine months.

\.e have ocen tryinr to organize a liurses' Training School along the lines upon which l..iss Edmunds conducts the school in connection with the .... a. VfOmen's hospital. Different conditions v;ill necee

sitate different regulations in some departments, but up to this time the same ^--enerai rul e s , s imi lar uniforms, have been used, and there has often been union in cless-work and exchange of nurses to give them the oenefit of v/ork in both hospitals.

lour nurses h?'ve enrolled their names in our Severance hospital register, and one pro^atioiier came in a shor t^itiine ago. i ' ve not yet written out a curriculum, and althou h we have done some class-v.'orK ,uost of the instruction 1 have given them has been in the ward and by the bedsif^o.

ii. the beg i linin' they did duty only in the ‘•omen's Wao baras, ..na when ni ht uuty w s take.:, r.y room was ne .r enough for me to share responsibilities when patients were sickest, or the new nurse needed help or advice. .vfter a few months, v/e reli .ved the medical students from the resrular cars of the fiperatinc' "oor ; and later i sent one of the iiurses, accompanied by on older woman, to tne Isolation x-spartment to cai-e for the natients there.

ine nurses were changed weekly, but the older woman did not have enout'h chan* e and recreation, and sne has been sick herself V.e have been prayin. for a matron to be sent us, ana one d y funas for sucu a ivcrean ii.8lpei' were provided by a visitor. Whether H tne woman who is now taking mp tho care of the Hospital linen may develop ana prove to be the right 7>ersca in the right place

must oe determinea later; if she does, and if the "skilled skrubber"

aoes his a'uty in K;epi.ig walls, \.'indcv73 and ceilings in proper ore order, also if ;varu-ooy and w'.rd-aaid look after floors and furniib ture as they shoaiu,we think several of our practxcal problems may be solved.

Aciona the coiiveni one e s added to the Coerating Hoorn during the year h.yve been: a siiall instrument-case , a small glass-topped table, two hr. ss 'wa t ei -oo i 1 er s v/ith taos, for the v;ash-room, and a

liver, recoverec. after operation, c^nd he and his v/^hole family cle— ciaed to become Cnristians.

Another poor fellow, who had incurable lun-^ trouble, begged t.ie Doctor to operate, but even that satisfaction could not be given him. he had listened to the teaching of the ev'-ngelist and other* and expressed his faith in Christ. During his last hou^^s, we ag^'in sent for the evangelist to come and be with hir, '■-nd a little v.'hile l^ter I was told thr t as they wer-e in prayer, ti e sick man's soul had " departed from this earth and gone straight to heaven, for I'e had sinc<“rely believed in Jesus."

Although these people had long before herru of Chr 1st iranity , they hr d wi-shed to have not’ring to do with it; but their reed for h.elp brougl t them to their day of decision.

The patient, a sv/eet woman, and the mother of several children, said on ti e morning of operation that l.er mind was at perfect resf^ end sl.e hr d not the least fear, whatevej- the j'esult might be.

Occasionally I h'^ve done a fev.^ ho- rs service for for- eign p‘-tients in their ov-n homes, and we have had several foreign- ers in the i.ospital.

Two of our greatest needs at present are; ^

In tvery departnirnt of rursing much is left lo be des'i'aed.

Personal Report of Esther Lucas Shields,

Sept. 25th, 1903 to Feb. 22nd, ISC4. Syen Chyun Station, Ilorea

Lot quite five months :7ere spent under the direction of this station, between my return from Annual meeting and my departure on Feb. 22nd, because of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war.

Itinerating^for class-work ^among the out-stations occupied a little over two months, so that the work attempted in Syen Chyun between trips was necessarily much interrupted.

GIRLS’ SCHOOL. Although the Girls' School was nominally

under my supervision, Mrs. Sharrocks had frequently to substitute during my absence. A dozen studies with the children in Geography; •8P?pd- Calisthenics occasionally; four examinations in Reading, )^rit- ing,and Spelling; and preparation for a Geography drill a Par ent ' s Meeting, represent^ nearly all the close contact 1 had wit£. them. Their teacher, Cha Si, did as usual her

earnest, faithful work for them, but often under difficult ies , be- cause she has not been strong and well at all times.

Mrs. Kearnes taught Arithmetic to several grades, and iuiss Samuels relieved Mrs. Sharrop^s of the class in singing, and after a time took also one"J*^f 'tKe Arithmetic classes which Mrs. Kearns had taught.

During the Christmas holidays, the school came up to Mrs. Ross’ home for an afternoon, when we had a varied program for their pleasure.

SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL. The class which I helped teach here

was composed of new believers principally,- occasionally a few ^ strangers also. Not infrequently as many as 35 were present. As the women became catechumens, they went into another class.

An Yung Soo’s wife and Kim '^ue Ban Si helped teach, or . substituted, during my absence, as occasion required.

VISiTINg. I made very few calls dn the Syen Chyun wo- men not even succeeding in going over the district which had \

been appointed to me with one of the "sip poo changs" (leaders of ten), only going into a house where there was sickness to give a couple little lessons in nursing.

'<Vhile with the country classes, I got into the hom.’^ of more of the women, and appreciated these glimpses very much.

While some of the houses were as poor- looking as country houses often are, the Christian living there created an atmosphere of cor—

dial hospitality and interest in which it was pleasant to partici- pate.Some of the homes were supplied with most of the comforts of which the Koreans have known. , ,

Miss Samuels and I, one day in December, had a delig;L^ ful visit at the home of Kim Que Ban. Besides meeting the Christ- ians in this home, there were neighbors and relatives who were not believers gathered in to see and talk with us. When we urged them to accept the Gospel message for themselves, one said, with tears in her eyes, " How can we do anything elsejsince you have come out to us?" 'Ahen Kim Si said at the close of the afternoa; th:-t our visit had been "like God" coining to see thera^t it made

feel that we need to live very close t4 Him when some of

made the women happy by learning most of their names, besides giv- ing other help during our itinerating trip.

There were at least 75 listeners and students in our class on Sun- day, and a row of women and children outside the door . I noted a pretty custom in the way the collection was taken: the coins wer. were brought in little bright -colored bags which were quietly laid on the tray as it was passed, and the owners found their small receptacles after service to take away for future use.

On the first day of this class a baptized woman was say- ing that she had so much other work to do that it was impossible to find time for Bible study. She was given a most decided "lec- ture" on the subject by kang Si and one of the other sisters, so I suppose she must have deserved it. Her clothes were very dirty, and she didn't seem particularly ambitious in any line.

Many times I have observed that the woman exhorting or teaching addresses one person only, the other members of the company list- ening intently to what she says, and the words having apparently as much or more effect than if she had included the whole audience, A letter of greeting came to this class from Deacon Tyung Kue Tyuitf lyho could not be with us, but who is evidently very highly esteem^ ed by the Christians.

Kim Kwan Kun Chosa was very helpful here. He taught in the after- noons of several days, and arranged for, or led morning prayers and evening services. He conducted the studies beautifully, with the art of a teacher who knows his subject and is in love with it/ This little group has for its church a building which used to be a place for storing Government rice, and was secured for a ver small sum of money.

In this class, after our morning studies together, we ^ found that certain of those present had not grasped many of the thoughts given, so subdivided for further work, having those who knew teach those who hadn't learned the lesson, trying by repeti- tion to put something into the duller minds.

A few sight-seers came in occasionally, and among them, a dear old lady and her daughter-in-law , who especially wished to be taughtjThe women who helped them had no doubt but that they were of''the elect, ’'and freely expressed their joy and gratitude that God had chosen and brought them out from among the heathen.

A caTl^^^i^^^^wealthy house some distance from the church was rc~q= and Kim Q,ue Ban and her co-worker reported an interest- ing visit.

In spite of the rooms here having been either cold or smoky a good deal of the time, it was delightful to be among these people, who have been most kind, and who have made ray stay as pleasant as possible. How little, after all, it means to spend but a few days in small rooms, dirty and dark; but v.e do pity those who all their lives have no other shelters, when all out-of-doors is light and bright and beautiful I

Instead of stopping at inns on our way home from this place, we had dinner with a woman who had attended the class reg- ularly,but went ahead to prepare for us; and staid all night at the house of Kim Ghipsa, whose wife is a bright, cheery, busy lit- tle woman with three nice daughters.

Our next day's dinner was at the home of a widow who lives at Xat Pa Whe, the mother of one of our school girls, and here we were entertained in state . "Sister Kimf' had gone ahead to see that preparations should be made for us, and the home was one of the most comfortable and luxurious I've visited in Korea. I really felt out of place in my dusty, worn travelling garb.

But the best part of the visit was that the sight -seers who gath- ered in had to listen as well as look* and after Kim Si and Kang Si had said what they wished, an elderly woman was introduced to mejas a "lost sheep", and a few days later I heard that she had come back to the fold.

A number of bright young girls here suggested a problem for the future. They have a thirst for knowledge, and could take the time for study if they had a teacher. Would it not be possible--until the teacher is p: ovided---to have a course of Home Study prepared for such gi]fls,or is there already such a list made out?

Miss Samuels spent Sunday with us here, and gave the girls a trea: by teaching them new hymns.

The importance of Bible study is always emphasized by the women who help teach. About 80 women and girls were pres-

ent on Sunday, and were in one class which Kang Si taught; I prompt ed'^n order to sa^ what I had to say; and Kim '^ue Ban made some very appropriate remarks after she had read, by request, a selection in Acts which gave a synopsis of the lesson. How absorb- ed the women were in what she said! She has magnet ism- -that sin- cerest desire for the welfare of every person she meets; --unsel- fish love for souls.

On the last day of class, a list^ of texts for memorizing was given to the girls; we did this also in some other plasees, offering a book as a reward for the recitation of them, the Deacon to notify me when the work was done. Nine books were sent to different places in February^o those who had fulfilled the task. I have also tried the systematic use of leaflets, giving one to each woman and girl present, asking her to read it and then pass it on to some one not yet a believer, explaining the meanin^^ and urging acceptance of the doctrine. I know nothing of the ref- suits of this plan/, but it perhaps helpi*to impress upon some that every one in"the church should be a force for work".

<Vas asked to see a sick child, and could only urge a vis- it to Dr. Sharrocks. A week spent in close contact with these earnest Korean friends makes one sorry to go away and leave them, when more time could so pleasantly and profitably be occupied.

Our journey from E An to this place was rather hard, but we were repaid for all our efforts when we met the women at the regular prayer-meeting. Our class work begun the next morning, with stud- ies in Matthew. Kim Kwan Kun Ghosa taught from Phili|)f>ans in the afternoons, and we followed with singing lessons. I enjoyed the women here especially. Strangers frequently came in, and I got around to a number of the homes in the vicinity. In one house, /////////where most of the inmates are Christians, I met a love- ly young woman of 18 years, whose parents-in-law and husband are still unbelievers, so although she has a " believing mind", it is taken for granted that she cannot come to church. 6f course we have learned that the young daughters-in— law in Korea have very little opportunity for independent action; and one's heart goes out in special love, and desire to help just such as these. Later, this young woman came to one or two services, and we pray that she may become strong in Him to witness for her Saviour. How precious we should esteem each opportunity to lead a soul closer to God!

A few sick folks came to be made more comfortable, and some . were recommended to go to Dr. Sharrocks. Among those whom I sawvas a five-year-old boyto whose home I went, afifeer meeting, one star- lit, frosty night. He is a dear little Christian.

As our class here closed on the morning of Dec.22ni it seemed fitting to urge that a special effort be made to extend the Christiaa joy. The company of earnest women here proved that much pray^r^jj^, faithful work had been done, and this church is

one 0^ f’^eT'^^ult s of seed-sowin<? bes:un by Kim Q,ue Ban.

Is it any wonder that she continues to give the gracious invitajif^ tion to all who will listen to hsr? She thanks God for what He has wrought, and prepares to receive yet more of His goodness! Shall not we be as wise in winning souls?

On our return to Syen Chyun we expected to spend a night at an inn where we have frequently been kept, but someone there was sick, and the room was occupied by a Japanese, so we had to go on. *Twas nearly dark, and several of our coolies were drunk, but after a whil§.|c,we found a house where we finally secured per- mission to stay. One room, about 8 by 8 ft . suf#-

ficed for the three women with whom I was travelling, the hostess^ her daughter-in law and young daughter, and me. 7/e were somewha*: crowded, but got considerable rest, and were very grateful for tl^ hospitality which permitted us shelter. This is one of the times when one can be appreciative of even a miserable Korean house.

V/e were sure that we had been led to stop at that houe^when we i learned that th£|[ family had been inquiring about Christianity, and had read some books; so of course Kim '^\ie fan must stop in the midst of her supper to answer questions and urge them to believe/

I think that Dr. VanDyke might write another chapter, perhaps, if he knew this earnest evangelist who has such a passion for preach- ing the Gospel, --her "ruling passion".

^ The Christian women here were very eager to

studyand frequently strangers came in, among whom several gave ev- idence of deep interest. One intense young woman was afraid"hot to believe”, yet she knew her own weakness--that she could not trust herself to continue in the faith, and desired our^^ecial prayers in her behalf. I made a fww calls^J^ this ^^%,one on the

Deacon’s aged mother, who had been out to several meetings,V^t the cold weather had caused a slight illness, and she wept because she was deprived of coming to say "good by".

One of the most earnest and intelligent of the church women is a widow who makes her living by selling "kook-soo" (vermicelli )

Here , also, some sick people were around for help or advice. In a few simple cases, our "home remedies" could be applied; for others, the Syen Chyun doctor had to be recommended.

lArs. Kearns and I were both here, and I was especially glad for her presence and help, but sorry on her account that this proved to be the least interest, ing class of the season. Yet it was only"com- paratively speaking"%fhe least interesting!' The weather was cold and neither of us felt perfectly well a part of the time, so that our spectacles may have been slightly blue. 7/e had chosen the first three chapters of John's Gospel for our raorning’^studies , and a part of his first letter for some of our af ternoons ; --- so many lessons about love and unity came to us before I learned that the lack of those graces in sufficient quantity was the rea- son why the church was not in a flourishing condition.

6

The serious situation is recognized hy some of the members, so I trust that the proper remedy may be applied, and with success.

-siy attention was called to a very sick old lady here, and I wish- ed exceedingly for a doctor's presence, or else my absence; but finally decided that if my mother had to use either the simple means I had at hand, or the Korean doctor's prescriptions,! would certainly choose the former course|,so if these people wished, I would do what I could, tho* I really feared that the woman was dy- ing, and knew that I was taking a risk. The patient's friends were Christians, and earnest prayers were offered for her: for her restoration, if that was God’s will for her;!>vif He wished her to leave this world, an abundant entrance into Heaven. Just be-

fore we returned to 3yen Ghyun, I heard that she was recovering.

HOTSS of a few lessonsjlearned during class work.

It seemed well , in preparing the book for roll-call, to copy from the church record-book the names of all members and at- tendants, and calling them regularly, instead of listing only thos$ who actually came, in the order of their appearance. Those least interested in the studies, perhaps because they cannot read, may come finally, because they know they are missed; or because those present become tired answering negatively for them, and persuade them to come and answer for themselves. In making up reports and average attendance, of course only thosewho personally pre- sented themselves could be counted as "enrolled".

7/hen the teacher addresses one person in the audience, simply allowing the others to listen, the messages are often more direct and helpful, than if addressed to the whole company, and at least the one person spoken to cannot apply the lesson to all the others --to the exclusion of herself.

The avidity and ease with which the girls and younger women committed to memory selections of Scripturee emphasizes,

I think, the need of a course of home study for those v;ho cannot get to any school;and if such a schedule has already been prepared it would be wise to send it to certain churches for the use of those v.ho might care to take it up.

1 believe it is good training for the Bible-woman to al- low her to do auch of the teaching, for it does not prevent the missionary giving her own thoughts, and being constantly referred to regarding difficult or unknown points, { sometimes also unknown by the missionary); for the questions are often free and full of suggestion, requiring^ a good knowledge of the Bible itself, and I always feel happiest when 1 can refer the questioners to a text '.vhich exactly answers their inquiry.

Prom July 5, lOOis to Sept, 19, 1906 I was absent from Seoul on my furlough, i'herefor© last Annual Meeting was the first item on my programme af‘ter my return,

r

Upon October 1st I began regular work in Severance' Hospital, and have been busy the»'e for the past nine months. We have been trying to organize a Nurses’ Training School along the linos upon which Miss Edmunds conductsthe school in connection with the K.to, ^fomen’s Hospital in Seoul, Different conditions necessitate differ^t regulations in some dep^'rtraonts, but up to this time the same general rules and similar uniforms have been used, and thej*© has often been union in class-work, and exchange of nurses to give them the benefit of experience in both hospitals.

COPY 0:F ANllUAL ICTORT, E. L. SHI ILDS, 3qpt, 19,1906 to July 5. 1907 3E0UL, KOREA

B'rom July 5, 1905 to Sept. 19, 1906, I was absent from Seoul on my furlough. Therefore last Annual Meeting was the first item on my programme after my return.

Upon October 1st I began regular work: in Severance Hospital, and have been busy there for the past nine months. We have been trying to organize a Nurses Training School along the lines upon which Miss iJidmunds conducts the school in connection with the U.E. Women’s Hospital in Seoul. Different conditions necessitate different regu- lations in some departments, but up to this time the same general rules and similar uniforms have been used, and there has often been union in class-work, and exchange of nurses to give them the benefit of experience in both hospitals.

Four nurses have enrolled their names in our Severance Hospital Register, and one probationer came in a short time ago. I*ve not yet written out a curriculum, and although we have done some class-work, most of the instruction I have given them has been in the ward and by the bed-side.

Dr. Avison and Miss Edmunds have held classes for nurses in both schools, euid Miss Wom'Dold has spent evenings with those at Severance Hospital in Bible study and other helpfiil talks. These Korean young women show aptitude in the work, and a real sympathy for, and interest in their patients, - without which, of course, they could not be acceptable.

In the beginning, they did only day duty in the women’s wards; and when ni^t duty was taken, my room was near enough for me to share responsibilities when patients were sickest, or the new nurse needed help or advice. After a few months, we relieved the medical students from the regular care of the operating room; and later, I sent one of the nurses, accompanied by an older woman, to the Isola- tion Department, to care for the patients there. The nurses were changed weekly, but the older woman did not have enough cheoige and recreation, and she has been sick.

We have boon praying for a matron to be sent us, and one day funds for such a Korean helper wore provided by a visitor,

■iHiether the woman who is now taking up the care of the Hospital linen nay develop and prove to be ”the right person in the right place” JTUst bo determined later; if she does, and if the ”skllled skrubber” does his duty in keeping walls, windows smd ceilings in proper or dor; also if the ward-boy and wnrd-mald look after floors and furniture as they should, - we think several of our practical problems may be solved.

Among the convenlonoes added to the Oi>oratliig^^?|om during the year have been; a small instrument- case; a small gl^^- tupped table; two brass water- boilers with tape for the waBh-room; fjnd a large sterilizer made by a Chinese tin-smith, In which to starllize operat- ing room clothing and supplies.

V

The Doctor’s Uffloes were re-orranged, and a Denta\ DepaS^tmcnt provided for In the Dispensary. The Isolation Ward v?as also x furnished, and has been In uso for several months*

\

We have been especially glad of the opportunities given for evangelistic work eaaong the patients; end the interest shown by V evangollstis , students and nurses, ns they can teach and pentode those under tholr care, has been gratlf^^ing. Hot a few have l^<«:ned to trust in the Groat Physician for soul-healing.

une man who was very 111 with an abecess of the liver, recovered after operation, and he ond his whole family decided to become Cfirlstlans.
