Elder Chang, a Christian from the Scotch Presbyterian Mission in
Manchuria, recently visited Pyeng Yang, Korea, and gives the following
report of what he learned:
Being strangers, we naturally looked up some Chinese merchants,
who, however, were not Christians. “Who are you?” they asked
us. “Christians from Manchuria.” “Are there, then, Christians
in Manchuria also?” asked the Chinese. “Oh, yes, many of them.”
“Are they the same sort as the Christians here?” “We don’t
know. What are the Christians here like?” “Good men. Good men.”
“Why do you think so?” asked the Korean elder. “Oh, a man owed
us an account five years ago of twenty dollars. He refused to
acknowledge more than ten, and we had no redress. A few months
ago he became a Christian and came and asked us to turn up that
old account, and insisted on paying it up with interest for
all these years.” Instances like this are happening all over
Korea.--_Missionary Review of the World._
