It is blessed lo know that in tho
midst of Bitch hoathon darkness the
seeds of Christianity are being planted
and that thoro aro many witnesses
for Christ. Last fall when the political
excitement was at its highest and
tho uatlvo Christians wero threatened
a thousand Kproau Christians mot to
potitlon tho King for protection. Thoy
began thoir mooting with prayer and
it seomod to havo a good effect as tho
troubles subsided aud all has been
quiet since,
I wrote you about tho attompt to
kill Mr. Yorn, who was ono of tho
loaders of tho Independents. Ilia ono
purpose scorns to bo to do something
that will inspiro his fellow-countrymen
to a higher life.' Ho has preached,
for Dr. Iteid all winter just tho
samo as ho has beon doing during tho
past three years, since Dr. Hold has
beon hore. Ail tho timo tho mombors
of the peddlers club havo beon trying
to find a chance to kill him. lie is a
splendid examplo of a man, that can
bo loyal both to Christ and to his
country, and his lifo is tho result of
missionary work, as you can seo from
the llttlo sketch of his lifo and his
wifo's which I will enclose. Two
weoks ago ho gavo Dr. Held a picco
of ground valued at $1,500 for the
mission, and his fathor gavo $1,000 in
money a wonderful gift for a Korean.
The King offered Mr. Yun sovoral
important offices iu tho government
and ho rofuecd them all, because he
knew that ho could not do anything
for his country, as ho would havo to
work with tho many other officials
who wero opposed to advancement.
