A great international evangelism is being poured out by Home Missions; for these Christians that are "scattered abroad go everywhere preaching the gospel." A noted Japanese evangelist, Rev. In Hawaii, as a result of his three months of labor, one thousand Japanese and Koreans accepted Christ.
Whether we live or die is a small thing, the great thing is that we make up our minds at once whether we work for or against our country." A group of Koreans in the southern provinces petitioned Prince Ito, in the frankest fashion:
The Japanese, not unnaturally, changed these ideographs to others having the same sounds but signifying "great peace." At a later time the Chinese or the Koreans began to designate these eastern islands, Jih-pen, or "Sunrise Island," a term which, in the fifteenth century, was perverted by the Dutch into Japan.
When it comes to weakness and helplessness being pitted against inhumanity, there can be no such thing as neutrality. "I have seen personal friends of mine among the Koreans, educated men, middle-aged men, who up to that time had no part in the demonstrations, parts of whose bodies had been beaten to a pulp under police orders.
Brutality, especially brutality against the unarmed and against women and children, is bad enough; but when to brutality we add nauseating hypocrisy, God help us! One of the Japanese majors who returned from Korea to Tokyo to lecture was more straightforward. "We must beat and kill the Koreans," he said. And they did.
"The Japanese forbid any school courses for Koreans higher than the middle school and the higher schools established by missionary organizations are severely regulated. The civilization of the Far East originated in China, and was brought first to Korea and thence to Japan.
A few days later when she was recovering from that brutal beating, a high official of the Japanese gendarme force came to see her. "Sauci," said he to her, recognizing her for an intelligent Korean girl, "why do not the Koreans like us?" She replied, "I had a dream last night here in the cell. That will tell you why. In my dream a visitor came to our home and stayed for dinner.
More than this, he ordered that no more sacrifices be offered to them. "The king could have suffered no greater insult than this, for, like all Koreans, he held as sacred the memory of his ancestors, and even to speak ill of one of them was an unpardonable crime.
They used their forces not merely to laud themselves, but to promote the belief that the Koreans were an exhausted and good-for-nothing race. In the end, they made the fatal mistake of believing what their sycophants and flatterers told them. Japanese civilization was the highest in the world; Japan was to be the future leader, not alone of Asia, but of all nations.
The result has generally been that while the roads were being built for the convenient march of the Japanese troops to suppress the builders of the roads, many families were bankrupted and starving. "The Japanese make improvements," say the Koreans. "But they make them to benefit their own people, not us. They improve agriculture, and turn the Korean farmers out and replace them by Japanese.
