l^Iiracle Workers
The Christian church has
ministry of healing and
a ministry of charitable
relief. In our countryside
they often take on a dis-
proportionate importance.
There is a rivalry between

What I see of the Korean
countryside leads me to
think that this is more of a
hindrance to the spread of
the Christian gospel than
the statistics of the church-
;s might suggest.
Foreign relief is still
i angled with (and tang
ling) the state of local
Christianity.

not forget that the Ghris-

the deep spiritual malaise
from which most of the
people arc suffering,
though often not suffering
consciously.
Relief and Social
I meet fairly frequently
with clergy and ministers
of all the local churches.
Catholic and Protestant,
for discussions of relief
comes from Europe, which
... alive with a vigorous
concern for the reunion of
Christendom receives 3
great shock in Korea.
Ecumenical Move
It has been said that
..re so-called ''Ecumenical
Movement” is the greatest
fact of 20th century re-
ligious history.
But while in Europe the
Roman, Anglican, Reformed,
and Orthodox churches are
all sharing more and more
zeal for healing their
schisms, Korea has been
tending to further splits.
It is not only a matter of
the disastrous schisms in
the Presbyterian church. It
is a question of local
churches changing allegian-
for the sake of better
relief services, and above
all of the deeply sectarian
spirit of the rank and file
Christians, not excepting
my own flock-
Catholic vs. Christian
It is an unfortunate
linguistic development that
has made “Catholic and
“Christian” almost mutu-
ally incompatible terms in
colloquial usage.
It is even mere tragic
that the members of all
churches spend so much
energy oil denigrating other
denominations.

Intellectual Weakness
Finally, we must admit
the intellectual weakness

I feel the lack of good

the depressing effects of
the low level of Christian

things as hymns and ar-

remains and 1 grows that
Korea needs nothing more
than it needs the fulness
of the Christian Faith.
So in my preaching to my
own flock I am constantly
trying to reinforce and
deepen their grasp of the
Christian ethic in all its
interior profundity, while
encouraging them to pray
in charity with the mem-
bers of other churches for
the consummation of Christ
tian Unity.

Korea’s martyrs are se-

Moreover, it is of the
essence of Christianity that
much of its greatest glories
sh 11 remain indiscernible

Pusan, Korea
September 23, 1957
The R©v. Chin Pil Sin, pastor of Seoul’s lonf Dong Presbyterian
Church, was elected moderator cf the Presbyterian Church in Korea at
its flffiid General Assembly in Pusan, September 19-24* The now
moderator, a former Secretary of the National Christian Council in
Korea, won fame for his dramatic escape from Seoul *s notorious Nest
» MO
Gate prison whex*® he was being held for execution after capture by
the communists in Koreans call him “the man who jumped from
his coffin”* All his fellow prisoners were killed*
Highlight of the Assembly was the welcome given to the Rev, Pang
Js
Chi H, last Presbyterian missionary to be released by the C^nese
ccxmmunists. Mr, Pang is a sec end-gener a t ion China missionary of ■bhc-
Korwm ehfcu^oh, the son of one of Kcroast pioneers to Shantung
province, Ha has been in China without furlough since 1937 and has
been held with his family for eight years by the communists*
In sometimes stormy sessions the Assembly reached a compromise
on the difficult problem of recognition of the geographically over-
lapping refugee presbyteries from North Korea, It voted to receive
delegates from these presbyteries only on the basis of their actual
organised strength in South Korea, not their membership lost in the
north*
Continuing its insistence on high standards for the ministry
the Assembly rs committee on examinations passed only 60 cut of 130
candidates applying for admission to the Presbyterian ministry*

The Secretary-Treasurer’s Office would also note some improvement in the
placing of orders by our Mission. While the matter of placing orders
only adds to the duties of the Secretary-Trea surer ’s Office, from the
standpoint of efficiency if the Office is expected to clear the orders
through customs, it would be best to place that order originally via the
Secretary-Treasurer ’s Office* On several occasions this year, the
Treasurer has had to enter into correspondence to unscramble orders placed
by individuals which would have consumed much less time if they had been
placed in the proper manner originally.
The Treasurer would express his appreciation to those Stations. that have
restrained themselves to the ultimate in placing special Station Orders.
In recent months, their numbers have been much fewer than. formerly. We
would point out, however, that some of our missionaries might well
examine their Station Orders before submitting them to the Mission . Office
and as they re-examine the Station Order, ask themselves. the questions:
"Is this Station Order clear? Is it simple? Is it concise?" Various
qualifying statements on the Station Order only serve to confuse.
Report #3
REPORT OF THE EVANGELISTIC COMMITTEE
We recommend ;
(1) That ye adopt the Chunju Overture ashing that all matters concerning
Church-Mission Relations be referred to the Evangelistic Committee for
study and presentation to the Mission.
(2) That we request the Nominating Committee to appoint an alternate for
Rev. B. A* Cumming to the Church-Mission Relations Conference in Seoul.
(3) That the Special Committee on Evangelism be continued with the name,
" Committee on Mass Evangelism."
(4) That inasmuch as the Mission plans to support only the General Assembly
Seminary in Seoul, we cannot appropriate funds or supply (loan) buildings
for any night seminaries.
(5) That we endorse the action of the meeting of the missionary evangelists
(in Kwangju) that the Mission not hire Presbytery Evangelists (ordained).
(6) That we approve the suggestion that the Mission appoj^t a Student Work
Committee but recommend that this year its duties be carried out by the
Committee on Mass Evangelism.
(7) That we continue our present subsidy to the Severance Medical College
of Yonsei University, and continue to send a medical representative to the
merged board, and that the title of the Mission’s representative be
changed to correspond.
(8) That we recommend that our Mission personnel askings for "Educational-
Evangelistic Workers" and "Student Workers" be combined pnder the heading
"Student Workers". These should be men (ordained or unordained) but
especially qualified to do Student Work. In most cases, they would be
expected to act as advisors to the local Mission schools. That the
Board be informed of this slight change in policy due to the realization
by the’ Eobean Church and the Mission of the great need for Student Work
in Korea today.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH U.S.
PRINCIPLES
KOREA LI S3 I ON —
Preamble *.
The Korea Kiss ion of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States rejoices in the growth and maturity which the Presby-
terian Church of Korea has attained,
1. Along with all Christendom this Mission rejoices
that the Church of Korea has a glorious history as a
complete autonomous ecclesiastical entity,
2. It exercises the functions of a Presbyterian
, Church with its elders, pastors, Sessions, Presby-
teries, and General Assembly.
3. It has its own constitution and exercises its
own polity and discipline.
4. It has for several decades been independent of
outside subsidy for carrying on its own organizations .
”.7e praise God for these facts and express our desire to contin-
ue working with the Church in ever closer bonds of Christian
brotherhood*
Principles :
The fact that the Church has reached this advanced stage of
development calls for a re-statement of principles governing
the relationship between our Church (Presbyterian Church in
the U. S.) and 'the Presbyterian Church in Korea.
1. ,7 c are two distinct autonomous organizations in
Korea involved in the cooperative effort of obeying
Christ's commission to preach the' Gospel to the
unsaved. These two are (l) the Presbyterian Church
of Korea and (2) the Presbyterian Church U.S. acting
through its Korea Mission. The policies of the
Mission must not jeopardize the autonomy of the
Presbyterian Church of Korea.
2 . Ecclesiastical functions of a Presbyterian Church
are (l) Preaching the Nord (2) Administering the
Sacraments (3) Training and ordination of the
ministry (4) Exercise of discipline (5) Contri-
buting to benevolent causes.
3. "Jherever the program of the Mission involves the
direct ecclesiastical functions of the Church (see
#2 of the preceding paragraph) such functions should
be under the direction and control of the Church.
4. Christian schools for secular education, medi-
cal work, special training programs and other
activities are not necessarily the function of an
ecclesiastical organization.
5. The Mission hopes to engage in such Christian
activities as are not specifically ecclesiastical
functions and do not infringe upon the sovereignty
of the Church of Korea, but do contribute to our
common objective of winning people to Christ. The
Mission hopes to continue in these activities until
such time as the Church is prepared to take full
responsibility for them.
6. There are areas that as yet have not been
properly developed, where full cooperation could be
entered into on the principle expressed in Article
#5. Such cooperation should be a combined endeavor
in terms of personnel and finance on the part of
both the Church and the Mission in joint agencies
established for specific programs. 7e trust that
the present time nay be a period of advance. Even-
tually national Christian leadership will assume
full responsibility and
in turn from every area
Church.
the Mission will withdraw
in "which it is now serving
-implementation of Principle
1. Consultative Committees.
(a) The Mission mil be glad to cooperate with the General
Assembly in a Central Consultative Committee, a regional
(Honam) Consultative Committee and such local Consultative
Committees as may be needed. Constitutions for the Central
and Honam Consultative Committees have already been agreed
upon by the Liission and the Church.
(b) The function of a Consultative Committee will be for con-
sultation, and to carry out such work as may be delegated
to it by either the Mission or the Church.
2. In the duties that take them directly into the ecclesiastical func-
tions of the Church, the relationship of ordained missionary evangel-
ists to the Presbyterian Church of Korea may be as follows:
(a) They may continue as members of Presbytery, if the Church
desires, but without a vote, subject to the rules of the
Presbytery.
(b) They mil cease to attend the General Assembly as
commissioners. The liission may send one member from each
station as official observers to the meeting of the Assembly,
when requested to do so, they will serve on committees.
3. Pioneer Evangelism. (The following points have already been agreed
upon by the Mission and the Honam Consultative Committee.) We
desire to carry on all our evangelistic program within the framework
of the Presbyterian Church of Korea as follows:
(a) That we begin no new church work without approval of Pres-
bytery Evangelistic Committee or in some cases its district
committee •
(b) That evangelistic budget askings for the following year be
initiated by a joint committee of the missionaries responsi-
ble and the Presbytery Evangelistic Committee to be then
referred to the Honam Consultative Committee for correlation
and then to the Liission and the Board.
(c) That we employ only such full-time evangelists as are
licensed by Presbytery,
(d) That we urge that in all places subsidized by the Mission,
all church property be transferred to the Juridical Person
of Presbytery. (Promptly).
(e) That each missionary evangelist report annually to Presby-
tery on his work among the churches.
h» Bible Institutes.
(a) There arc currently three types of Bible Institutes in the
Honam district.
(1) Those receiving a token subsidy from the Mission,
but operated entirely by Presbytery.
(2) Those financed by the Mission but operated jointly by
the Mission and the Presbytery.
(3) Those financed and operated by the Mission.
(b) The policy of the Mission with reference to each type is as
follows :
(1) For schools of the first type, the Mis sion will
temporarily try to provide a small subsidy to be
divided annually by the Honam Consultative Committee,
(2) For schools of the second type the Mission desires
to turn over complete responsibility, both
administrative and financial to the Presbyteries as
soon as possible,
(3) Inasmuch as the schools of the third type serve a
regional need, the Mission will continue to operate
these, but requests increasing Church representation
on their boards beginning as follows:
(a) The Honam Consultative Committee to appoint
one representative to the advisory board
of the Ada Hamilton Clark Bible School,
This representative need not necessarily be
a member of the Honam Consultative Committee.
(b) The Honam Consultative Committee to appoint
members to the Board of the Honam Bible
Institute in accordance with its charter,
(Sec Appendix A). These representatives
need not necessarily be members of the
Honam Consultative Committee.
5. Christian Schools for secular education.
(a) There are currently two types of Christian schools for
secular education in the Honam District.
(1) Those operated by the Presbytery and receiving from
the Mission a subsidy on a declining scale. These
are: Yung-Myung (Kunsan), Maisan (Soonchun),
3oong-il ( Kwangju ) .
(2) Those operated by the Mission. These are: Speer
(Kwangju) Sin-heung, Kijun, Kijun Elementary Schools
(Chunju), Chung Ivyung (Mokpo).
(b) The policy of the Mission with reference to each type is as
follows :
(1) For schools of the first type, the Mission looks
forward to turning over to the Presbyteries complete
administrative and financial responsibilities at the
end of 1958.
(2) For schools of the second type, the Mission will
continue to operate these for the present inasmuch
as the permits under the Government for these schools
are in the name of the Mission Juridical Person.
The Mission requests the Consultative Committee to
appoint representatives to their advisory boards as
follows :
(a) Speer - (See Appendix 3)
(b) Chung! lyung - (See Appendix C)
(c) Sinheung - Kijun - (See Appendix D)
6. Taejon Rresbyterian College. During the formative stage of this
institution, four Korean advisors have been invited to assist the
Board. In the immediate future, we expect to ask the Consultative
Committee to appoint qualified Christians who arc college graduates
as official members of the Board.
7 • Medical fork. Since this type of service is so highly technical
and expensive, and in no sense an ecclesiastical function, the
Mission must continue to operate it for the foreseeable future. As
qualified medical advisors become available, the Mission expects to
establish advisory councils for our medical institutions.
8. There arc many other Christian programs in the conduct of which the
Mission desires to work in close cooperation with the Church and
interdenominational organizations, such as student work. Men’s work,
'ifomen’s "fork, Sunday School Morlc, Bible Clubs, Summer Conferences,
Publications, Orphanages, Old People’s Homes, Relief, Agricultural
Projects, Radio, Audio-visuals, etc. Most of these present unlimited
opportunities for cooperative effort in the preaching of the
Gospel, and our Mission pledges all possible support in these
cooperative endeavors.
9. Me consider it of paramount importance to all to remember that after
all it is not the organizational structure but the spiritual mission
of the Church with which we are primarily concerned.

REPORT OF THE INTER-STATION RADIO COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE
I. The purpose of this system of radio communication would be to provide
Stations with dependable communications with each other and with our
missionaries residing in Seoul.
A. The system would be for "business" of the Mission only. This
is understood to include such personal messages as individuals
would care to send over such a public system.
B. Regular network schedules could be worked out by a committee
set up for that purpose, subject to change with experience.
(In our 'Africa Mission, all Stations meet on the air at 5:00 p.m.
daily). The control station would logically be located in
Chunju so that emergency calls to the Hospital could be made
at any time. A receiver could be kept on there 24 hours daily.
C. The need for such an adequate communication system need not be
elaborated in this plan since it has been approved twice before
and all are acquainted with the total lack of dependable, fast
communication existing now.
II. Each Station would be equipped with the following necessary items:
Transmitter (Radio-Telephone) Frequency: 80 Meter Band, 3-4 Me,
Receiver, Antenna, Auxiliary Power Supply.
The needs of each Station are not exactly the same since the
distances between Stations vary.
III. Operating personnel need not be trained in radio. Any responsible
adult can operate the crystal controlled, pre-tuned transmitters.
IV. The Korean Government will probably grant a license when such a plan
is presented to them in definite form. (Source of information: HLKY)

Report #8
REPORT OF PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
During the past year the press has constantly been busy with work along
three main lines: (1) Printing of forms, blanks, and other materials
for the Medical Center, the College, and the Sinheung-KiJun Schools.
While busy most of the time with work for these institutions alone, we
will be happy to render the same service for other mission institutions.
(2) Printing of catechisms. As needed the Child’s Catechism, Shorter
Catechism, and Life of Christ Catechism have been reprinted. Wholesale
lot sales are increasing. If missionaries will provide us with names
and addresses of Christian book stores we will supply them with this
material. (3) Publication of Pok Tvan Malsum proceeded approximately
on schedule last year (1956) with an edition every two months, providing
sermon notes for at least one sermon per week, information about our
mission program, and theological essays. The mail system having proved
unsatisfactory In most cases we are trying to send the magazine out
through the Presbyteries or mission stations, and we ask help and advice
in this matter. In 1957 we have been behind schedule in getting out the
magazine, due to pressure of other work, the sickness of the Korean
editor, etc.
Work has continued in preparation of the manuscripts of three books
previously reported several times to Mission Meeting. Paper and binding
materials and ink to begin publishing the first two of these books have
been ordered from Japan. Poor exchange and the hone of getting the use
of new equipment (see below) have made us delay starting the printing of
the books but we have hopes of doing so soon. The three books are Foster
Bible Story Book, Foster’s Little Steps for Little Feet, and a Christian
Homemaker’s Handbook to be published with the Birthday Offering Fund
for literature for the Christian Home.
We have received a contract to print a large stock of tracts for Rev.
Bob Rice of Taegu, the tracts to be paid for by him, but used In our
section of Korea. We are hampered in this by the small size of our press
but hope to start delivering these tracts to our missionaries in the near
future.
Our equipment continues to improve. We purchased a typecaster and paper-
cutter from Japan last year and this greatly improves the quality of our
work, particularly since we can use clean new type. In December we
scrounged half a quonset which has almost doubled the size of our
establishment, and we have received a total of three shipments of surplus
U.S. Army press equipment and type from Japan at no cost except trans-
portation from Seoul. Some of this is useable and some will be exchanged
We hope that through this method we ’ can, at no cost to the mission for
equipment, wind up with practical equipment of one of the simpler modern
offset techniques now available, and which require virtually no technical
training. This should enable us to produce far better work than that
done by the average press in Korea.
Report I'S (con«t)
Attention of the mission needs to be called to the fact of the immense
possibilities of a vide range of influence through the medium of literature
m Korea, and to the fact that such organizations as Jehovah fs Witnesses,
Seventh Bay Adventists, and others are far ahead of us in this field.
The religious Dress of Korea is still not producing enough of the basic
literary toals for Christians and for church workers. Nor can we disregard
the negative effect of much of the secular literature flooding the country .
Our personal contacts are limited in number, and weakened by the language
barrier, but professionally trained missionaries with an intimate
knowledge of the Korean situation, can, through well- translated printed
material, meet a far wider circle through the country. We have the
assurance that at least to the present time, almost any Korean will read
anything put into his hands.
We_ rcc ommend s
(1) That a budget of $2500*00 be appropriated for 1953 0 (Same as 1957)
(2) That the publication department be allowed to use proceeds from the
sale of books to build up a revolving fund for use in printing books
in the hope that it will then not be necessary to ask for special
appropriations to print new books from time to time. At present, even
the entire budget for one year ($2500.00) is insufficient to publish any
one book* We suggest that at present a ceiling of $10,000.00 be projected
for this fund, although if the scope of this work continues to expand,
this limit may have to be raised. This fund would be kept as a separate
account on the Mission Treasurers Books, not subject to refund to the
Board at the end of each fiscal year. If permission of the Board is
necessary in this matter, we ask the Mission to take the proper action.
(3) That our missionaries continue to contribute sermons and other
information they would like to disseminate throughout our churches in the
form of articles (written in English) to be published in the magazine.
(4) If anyone can produce a good Gospel Tract (s) , we suggest that the
Mission pool its tract funds from time to time to print off a large
number of them,
(5) We are keeping a list of bocks we may possibly print and welcome
other suggestions. The first in this list has already been approved by
the Mission and if funds are available will be yrinted this year:
(a) Yul-lam Moon-top by Dr. J.V.N, Talmage
(b) Sung-gyung To-li by Dr. Harry Kill

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO PRESS FOR A SOLUTION OF THE MOKPO SCHOOL
PROELEM
We have very little to show for this year in the way of a complete
settlement of the school problem. Yet we have made a few steps forward
that will mean much toward a complete settlement. The Lord has blessed
us with His presence and has led us by His wisdom. We are thankful for
all that He has dene for us.
After the Mission Meeting in Soonchun last year, we received the decision
from the Appellate Court in Kwangju. In this decision, the court upheld
the Mission’s ownership of the Chung Ifyung Girls’ Middle School property
and as the governor in Kwangju had already ordered the Rev, Lee Nam Kyu
to close the school he was operating in Mission buildings, the court did
not need to take action to evict the illegal user. The Mission was granted
the privilege of collecting 600,000 Hwan for damages, according to the
court decision. We were advised not to press claims for this amount
until we saw how the Boys’ School problem was being solved.
Your Committee was able to do no more about the whole problem until
January 1957. At that time Mokpo Fresbytery formally asked for a state-
ment from the Station concerning the future of the Boys' School. After
discussion with the members of Ad Interim Committee, the Station notified
Presbytery that as soon as the property was reclaimed and the Presbytery
had gotten the legal right to run a school, the Station would be happy
to turn the school over to Fresbytery, provided a contract was made
concerning the use of Mission Property,
The Committee decided to leave the Boys’ School permit in the hands of
Chun Nam Presbytery’s Juridical Person and put in an application for the
right to appoint a principal of the school through this Juridical Person.
In March, Chun Nam Juridical Person elected Rev, R. K. Robinson as
principal of the Yeung Heung School and made out an application to be
presented to the education officials In Kwangju, On April 8, the
Committee laid the plans to re-occupy the Boys’ School property before
the U.S. Embassy officials in Seoul. We have received assurances from
them that they will assist in every way possible to help us to reclaim
the property.
The plan to re-occupy the property is as follows: Request is being made
to the government to approve the appointment of a principal. If the
aprrcval is granted, action will be taken to ask the government to
assist this principal to gain control of the school by peaceful means.
If the government fails to grant any of these things, we must take the
matter to the courts.
Cn May 4, Chun Nam Presbytery and your Committee placed our reouest before
the officials in Kwangju. We have notified the Embassy officials in
Seoul of our action and we can now only await the government decision.
Report #9 (con:t)
We recommend ;
(1) That the Committee continue to press for a solution of this problem
until it Is brought to a successful conclusion,
(2) That the Committee bo permitted to use the Bcvsf School subsidy to
cover its expenses in securing the school,
(3) That the present members of this Committee continue to serve for
another year,
(4) In the event that the school be returned, the Boys’ School subsidy
vculd be returned for use in running the school* Three of the school
bouses are being illegally occupied by the teachers in Mr. Lee Nam Kyu’s
school* It seems evident that the Mission will have to resort to court
action to get this property returned* This is in spite of what the
government nay do about the school* We therefore request that if such
action be necessary, that the funds come from, those used by the
Juridical Person*

REPORT OF THE METICAL COMMITTEE
We recommend :
(1) That Dr. Paul S. Crane be invited to return to the Mission at the
end of his army tenure to complete his five year term before going on furlong!
(2) The Medical Committee renews its request for a temporary surgeon for
the Medical Center. He will remain until such time as Dr. Crane returns
sc that Dr. Phillips may have opportunity to learn the language Defer e
assuming full tine responsibility cf his work.
(3) That under the present circumstance of high endemic rate of tuber-
culosis among the Korean people, children of missionaries should not be
sent to Korean schools and kindergartens. If, however, any parents feels
strongly to the contrary and do send their children to Korean schools,
each child so involved should have a chest x-ray every three months,
and should receive BCG vaccine when it is available.
(4) The Medical Committee re- iterates the 1956 recommendation: That all
annual physical examinations on missionaries be completed before
September 1, and that all those planning to come to Chun ju allow two
days for this examination. An advance appointment will facilitate
completion for this examination. By special request the annual physical
examination may be taken in Kwangju with the consent cf Dr. H. A. Codington*
(5) The Medical Committee re-iterates the 1956 recommendation: That all
adult missionary personnel are strongly advised to take annually Smallpox,
Typhoid, and Tetanus innoculati ens, and Typhus when so indicated. Children
up to the age of 6 should receive DPT, Typhoid, and Smallpox innoculai-ions
annually, and children 7 to 13 should receive DPT biannually and Typhoid
and Smallpox innoculations annually* Responsibility for receiving
these innoculations will rest with the missionaries.
Report #10 (con’t)
(6) That all missionary children receive their booster dose of polio
vaccine, and that all missionaries be immunized against polio as soon
as the vaccine is available.
(7) That in view of the approaching retirement of Mr. Boyer, the Mission
ask the Board to take more vigorous action to secure a doctor for medical
and administrative work at the Wilson Leprosy Colony*
(8) That an urgent call be put in for a full-time unmarried public
health nurse for the Mokpo medical work.
(9) That the Mokpo Public Health Unit be closed until a full time worker
is in a position to take ever the direction of this work.
(10) That $2 .,000 on the List of Special Askings for the Mokpo Public
Health Center be reserved for the launching of the public health program
when the nurse is ready to take up her duties.
(11) In reply to an overture from Kwangju Station that the Mission
request the Board to advance funds for purchasing a photo-fluorographic
unit, approximate cost ,75,000, the Medical Committee recommends that
this be answered in the affirmative. This unit is on the previously
listed Birthday Offering items.
(]2) In reply to an overture from Kwangju Station, the Medical Committee
recommends that it be given authority to make final proposal to the
Mission as to the use of the Women1 s Birthday Offering Funds to be used
for capital investments, this proposal to come before the Mission after
the total amount of the gift is known. An annual recommendation will
be submitted to the Mission as to the use of funds to be used in the ten
year program. After final approval by the Mission, disbursement of the
funds shall become the responsibility of the Station involved.
(13) In addition to the *5,000 for a photofluorographic unit, the
Medical Committee recommends aprroval for advanced spending from the
Birthday Offering as follows:
1. $2,000 for a laundry for Graham Memorial Hospital.
2. $5C0Q00 for anesthesia equipment for Graham Memorial Hospital,
These funds are to come from the $4,000 previously approved for laundry
and equipment for the sanatorium.
(14) The Medical Committee recommends adoption of the following state-
ment of institutional policy:
1. That the Mission recognizes that its major medical institutions
should eventually come under the jurisdiction of well-qualified
Korean Christian leadership. However, the Mission feels that it
would never be wise for such institutions to come under the full
control of an ecclesiastical organization of the Presbyterian
Church. Rather, we envision that such transfer of authority should
be to a corporation which by charter shall maintain perpetual
affiliation to the Presbyterian Church. This charter would also
Report #10 (con!t)
set forth in unchangeable articles the basic evangelistic purpose
for which the institution was founded; and in regard to the Medical
0 enter should emphasize its continuing function as a higher training
center for Christian doctors, nurses, and technicians.
2. That, in view of the highly specialized nature of medical
institutions, of their dependence for the foreseeable future upon
medical supplies from the United States, and of the necessity for
specialized professional supervision, the Mission does not
contemplate transfer of administrative responsibility in the near
future0 It is the policy of the Mission, however, to establish
advisory councils composed of missionary and National membership .
Such councils shall initially have advisory function only, but may
as qualified national leadership becomes available, come to share
progressively in administrative responsibility.
(15) The Medical Committee wishes to express to Rev. Hugh Linton and
to Reva David Parks its appreciation for their untiring efforts in the
installation of the elevator in the Medical Center.
(16) In reply to an overture from Dr. Levie for permission to resign
from the Mission, the Medical Committee recommends that the Mission
express to Dr* and Mrs. Levie cur deep aprreciaticn-for their willingness
to return to the field after an absence of many years, cur complete
satisfaction with the character and quality of their work, and our
earnest hope that they will find conditions such that they can finish
their term of service in Korea.
(17) The Medical Committee recommends that Dr. Choi Sun Hi be
assimilated temporarily into the organization of the Graham Memorial
Hospital, and her salary be paid from the balance of the Mokpo Public
Health Budget for 1957.

Report #12
REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE FOR STATION MINUTES
The Station Minute Books have been read and approved, with corrections
noted. Mokpo Station is to be especially commended for its neat and
accurate records.
1* The Committee recommends that the Minutes be kept in permanent
type books and that the Minutes be consistent in form and neat.
2. It has come to the attention of this Committee that in some of our
Stations, tVere are occasional Station meetings held over the telephone.
Since all members of the Station do not have an opportunity to attend
these meetings, and it is evidently difficult to keep records of such
meetings, we recommend that such Station Meetings be discontinued.
Respectfully submittal,

(2) Caen in banks as of January 1, 1957 was examined. Balances were:
Nashville Trust Company $ 4,188o09
Bank of Korea 20,524.13
Outstanding checks 348,90
(3) All credits to the mission from the Treasurer in Nashville were
carefully examined.
(4) Bank balances at the beginning and the close of the year were

In addition to the above report, this committee would like to make the
following recommendations:
(1) That we concur with the Treasurer in his plea that all dollar
transfers from one account to another be discouraged.
(2) In any case where dollar funds in a mission account have been
obligated but not yet spent, we recommend that these dollar funds
not be transferred to personal accounts for carryover into the new
year, but that they be transferred (if necessary) into a special
account on the Mission Treasurer’s Books.
(3) When essential dollar transfers are made from Mission accounts
to personal accounts, the following requirements should be met:
a. A sufficient explanation of the transfer should be
written on the reverse side of the station order (or
an accompanying sheet) and station approval be required
for the transfer.
Report #14 (con't)
b. A similar explanation should be written in the individuals
account books under the proper account. This is in order
that the station auditing committee will have the informa-
tion for audit purposes.
c. It is to be understood that the station and the station
auditing committee be responsible to check J he reasons for
an2r dollar transfers of mission funds to personal accounts.
This is to safeguard the individual as well as the Mission
(4) In view of the complexity of auditing procedure, we recommend that:
a. The auditing committee be composed of three members of
the Mission.
b0 Each member serve for a period of three years on this
committee.
c# One new member be placed on this committee each year.

REPORT ON THE FORMATION OF A JURIDICAL PERSON FOR THE R. M. WILSON
LEPROSY COLONY
In September, 1956, a Permit from the Korean National Government was given
to the "R.M, Wilson” Leprosy Colony to form a separate Juridical Person
for the Colony.
The two hundred buildings of the Colony have all been transferred to this
new Juridical Person.
Of our Real Estate, 259 pieces of property have been transferred, which
includes all the property within the Colony Compound, and most of the land
we own outside the Colony. A few pieces, formerly Japanese Government
property, are still not transferred, but the Korean National Government
has promised to make this transfer in the near future.
This Juridical Person secures all the property from any great danger of
loss, but has required an expenditure of about $1,500.
The five members of this Juridical Person are the following: Hugh McIntyre
Linton, Thomas Dwight Linton, Robert Lee Smith, Jack Brown Scott and Elmer
Timothy Boyer.

REPORT OF TEE PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
The Committee studied the goals set up last year by the Publicity Committee
to determine vhat procedure to take in plans for the new year, j.1 was
found that very few of these plans had materialized. However, iz was
reported that many articles were sent in to the Board individually, and
that several very good articles had been sent in through this Committee and
had appeared in recent publications of the Board,
The following is a report of the number of articles written from the
individual stations: Chun j u 3, Kwangju 7, Mckpo 0, Soonchun 0, Taejon 2.
Although Mokpo Station eent in no articles, one M3C.D, letter from Mckpo
Station was selected to be sent to all 500 names on the mailing list of
the Candidate Department,
The Committee would urge the missionaries to write more articles, to send
them in to the Committee so that over-lapping might be avoid cd and so that
all areas of work might be publicized and not limited to one particular^
phase of our work. The Committee is mimeographing a list of possible topics
for articles fci' our church magazines, and you are urged to write articles
and send them to this Committee to be forwarded to the Board, cr at least
reported to this Committee.
We recommend s
(1) That emnhasis continue to be placed on the writing of articles and
stories iron each Station aiming toward a goal of an article each month
from each Station,
(2) That the members of the Mission cooperate in planning a slide program
to present the work of the Mission, Miss Huneycutt to college these
slides and write the script.

REPORT OF TAEJON PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
There is reason for special thanksgiving to God for His blessings upon the
College during the past year. Although there is yet much to be desired, it
seems to the members of the College Committee that remarkable progress has
been made since this venture in the field of higher education was launched
just two years ago.
The permit to operate Taejon Hak-wun was received from the Ministry of
Education in March, 1956. The first class, numbering 82 students, began
their work at the College in April of last year. These students have
manifested a fine spirit in spite of a number of difficulties. Since there
are no permanent College buildings, space is provided fgr classrooms,
library, and chapel in quonset huts obtained from the Army. Personal
economic difficulties or army draft calls have forced many students to
drop out of the first class. Of the eighty-two that matriculated, there
are thirty-nine at present studying in the second year.
One of the interesting aspects of College activities is the student work
scholarship program for deserving students. These scholarships granted on
the basis of the student *s scholarship standing have helped many who otherwise
would not have been able to study. These scholarships include work in the
library, on the farm, in the orchard, work in the College office, dormitory
duties, etc., a thirty-percent reduction in school fees is granted to all
girls, to the children of ministers in our churches and qualified evangelists
in our church and to the children of those directly employed in other of our
Mission institutions.
A word of special praise is due the President, Mr. W. A. Linton and Mr.
K. R, Crim who have carried the ball from the very beginning. The stead-
fast faith that this project was the Will of God inspired these men to
undertake and successfully launch a program which few would have even dared
to consider. In addition to these men, we must not forget the untiring
efforts of the other members of Taejon Station and the Korean Staff Members,
Report #19 (conH)
Construction of the main academic building vas begun in June of last year
and unless there ^ is' some unforeseen delay, the building will be completed
for occupancy, isi the fall*
Application vas made fof a regular College Permit in December 1956 with the
following departments : Bible, English, Chemistry and Physics and 'Math.
The Ministry flf Education has assured the President that with the completion
of' the blailding now under construction, the College Permit will be granted.
However, in order to operate at full strength (four classes), the Ministry
of Education will expect us to provide 2,000 pyung of building area. And
in addition to the need for more classroom space, there is particular need
for new Korean faculty homes. In April of this year, the second class was
received, numbering 77 students. The fees for the new year are 98,000 Hwan
for the year for new students*
We appreciate the fact that the Board has granted scholarships to Mr. Kin
Hong Jun with the idea thfet he would com© back to Korea to serve on the
faculty cf the College. Another Vofd of appreciation to the Board is given
for the provision of a scholarship in the current year for Mr. Pak Chu Whan
and Mr* Kim Koon He, with the understanding that upon their return, they
will serve on the College faculty.
We recommend:
(1) That we overture the Mission for a work budget of -*15,000 for 1958.
(2) That we overture the Mission to substitute for (l) College Dormitory
on the Class VIII Askings ”the next College Academic Unit” - #4G»000 -
and urge the Mission to place this much higher on the Priority List.
(3) That we overture the Mission to put (l) College Dormitory - $25,000 -
further down on the Class VIII Askings.
We covet the continued prayers and interest of the members of the Mission in
this effort to develop strong Christian leadership.

KORiA
Volume I, Number 1 Autumn 1957
The Situation IT has been said that Korea is the only
country in Asia besides the Philippines
that could be predominantly Christian in the foresee-
able future. Though at present only three per cent of
the population is Christian, the increase in the total
number of Christians in the last few years has been
amazing. Protestants in South Korea number about
1,324,000. In Seoul alone there are 400 churches
where there were only 30 in 1941 ; Taegu, which had
seven Protestant churches in 1941, now has 170 con-
gregations. A large group of young people is study-
ing for Christian work: 550 students are preparing
for the ministry at the Presbyterian seminary in Seoul,
and 900 evangelistic workers are training in four Pres-
byterian Bible institutes. Some of the phenomenal
growth is due to a flood of Christian refugees from the
north, where the Church was strongest before parti-
tion; but even apart from this there is no mistaking
the tremendous new momentum of Christianity since
the Korean War.
The million and a half Christians have an influence
out of all proportion to their numbers. Many of them
hold government office. They are doing a great deal
to make homes for orphans, widows, and the handi-
capped. Radio station HLKY in Seoul is one of the few
Christian radio stations in the world.
Korea is ihe first non-Christian country to establish
a chaplain corps within its armed forces. The corps
is open to leaders of all religions, but only Christians
have taken advantage of the opportunity. “Character
guidance” courses taught by the chaplains are an un-
beatable opportunity to present the good news of
Christianity to every raw recruit and to help draftees
in the staggering jump from paddy field to drill ground.
The result: ten per cent of the armed forces are Chris-
tian as compared to three per cent in the rest of the
population.
The Dark Side the picture is encouraging, but not
completely rosy. Uneasy rumblings are
still coming from the 38th parallel. The problems left
by war: orphans, widows, penniless refugees (every
fifth person is a refugee), destroyed housing, schools,
hospitals, and churches, the hundreds of pastors killed
by fighting or persecution— these make the job of the
Church immeasurably more difficult.
Another shadow in the picture is division among the
churches; but though Korec has discovered some of
the issues that divided the growing first century Church,
it has also discovered the singleness of purpose and
dedication to one God that made quarrelsome first
century Christians a model of faith for us today. It
takes a long while for a new Christian to apply his
new faith to everything he does. The virtues of patience,
love, and self-discipline are not learned overnight.
Pray that Korean Christians and their various denomi-
nations will move closer together as they grow in the
knowledge and love of God.
The Lord Provides HE was a real country boy. The
village where he lived was so re-
mote that in seventy-five years of mission activity in
Korea no one had ever preached there. There were
no Christians; in fact, no one had even heard of Christ.
Tong Ryul, for that was his name, lived with his father
in a mud and straw shack on the edge of the village,
where they owned a tiny plot of ground and a rice
paddy or two.
Tong Ryul hiked to school in a neighboring town
every day, and it was there that he first heard about
the Christians. He was in the seventh grade when the
first Christian came to his village. A year later he joined
a catechumen class and was baptized. Though his
father refused to come to the church for his son’s
baptism, Tong Ryul declared, “I'll believe in Jesus till
I die — yes, even if the Communists come back from the
north and cut off my head, I’ll believe in Jesus!’’
Financially Tong Ryul had his troubles. When he
finished junior high school, he could not graduate be-
cause he could not pay his fees. Church members in
the U.S.A. came to his rescue; the fees were paid, and
he was admitted to Pierson Memorial Bible School in
Seoul to train for evangelistic work.
The first week he was in Seoul, Tong Ryul asked
Ben Sheldon, a Presbyterian missionary, for an old
blanket. “Don’t you have one of your own?" asked
Mr. Sheldon. “What happened to the one you used
at home?”
“Oh,” replied Tong Ryul, “my father and I had
only one between us, and when I left home, of course
I could not bring it with me.” Tong Ryul was a hard
worker and earned part of his way; his living expenses
were cared for by American young people.
A year ago nineteen-year-old Tong Ryul preached
his first sermon at a young people’s meeting in Seoul’s
West Gate Church He blushed a little when he told
about it, afraid that he might seem boastful. His text
had been Acts 4:1 2, “and there is salvation in no one
else, for there is no other name under heaven given
among men by which we must be saved.” Young as
he is, Tong Ryul is on his way to taking his place in
the work of the Church of Jesus Christ.
“ ... In Prison And Ye IF you happened to have busi-
Came Unto Me ... ” ness with the women in the
national prison on West Gate
Street in Seoul, you would notice that some of them
are wearing an unusual symbol on their left arms. It
is the Korean word for “holy”, and the women who
wear it have found a new life as Christians.
It all came about through the work of Mrs. Harold
Voelkel. Early in 1 955 she and Mrs. Kim Hay-su started
a Bible correspondence class for twenty women con-
victs. The two teachers visited those who were sick
in their chilly, crowded cells. They brought warm cloth-
ing and found layettes for babies born in prison. They
made good friends among both prisoners and guards.
Soon guards began to tell Mrs. Voelkel of a change
taking place in some of the prisoners. For instance,
there was frail Hongsie. She was a widow after the
war, sick and without a way to make a living. In des-
perate straits she killed her baby and tried to kill her-
self. In prison for murder, she joined the Bible class
and became a Christian.
The original class of twenty women has grown into
three classes with a total of over eighty students. One
hundred nine convicts have become Christian and sixty
have renounced Communism. In May of this year Mrs.
Voelkel received a citation from Ho Lee, South Korea’s
Minister of Justice, for her effective work in rehabili-
tating the women.
The women are not forgotten when they leave the
prison. The Christian “Loving Friends Home” for re-
leased prisoners gives them a place to stay and helps
them find a job. Jobs and housing are scarce in South
Korea; it would be all too easy to go back to the old
way of life. Recently the building became the home of
four children os we!! os releosed prison orc. Born in
prison, they were two to four years old and too big
to stay with their mothers any longer. Mrs. Voelkel
rescued them from an overcrowded city orphanage
and brought them to “Loving Friends Home” until they
could move to a Christian orphanage where they could
get more attention and better food.
