There is no individual in society; it is one body corporate.
If one member sin all suffer with him. The fearful forms of
torture loom up yet out of the shadows, the paddle, the rack,
the chair, the cangue collar, the strangle-ring, the shin-rod,
and various forms of mutilation remind one of what we see in
the Tower of London. Truly, we are brethren in cruelty if we go
far enough into the dark past. But God, who is rich in mercy,
when He transforms an Oriental, seems first of all to take out
of his heart the poison of cruelty, and to leave the spirit of
self-sacrifice and tenderness instead.--JAMES S. GALE,
“Korea in Transition.”
