On his return to Korea from Japan with Elder I. H. Evans, Brother H. A. Oberg, secretary of our Korean Mission, writes under date of February 24:—

“When I left here, January 3, our brethren were just starting on a campaign with a ten-thousand edition of our Korean paper, Sei Chyensa Eui Kenipyel (Three Angels’ Message). They sold at five sen ($.025) a copy. Last week we shipped the last of the edition off, and I can assure you we are happy. This is our first attempt in this work, and we feel that we have made a fair start. I have helped in selling the paper. On one trip, I sold seventy-three copies, and on another 138 copies. One day I sold fifty-six copies, and in two hours, twenty-five. It seems odd that in this country, with a people so different, one falls back into the way he canvassed in America. I really think canvassing is like swimming. When one once learns the system, one does not forget.”
