A real lesson in Missionary giving
taught by a Converted Korean
A New York business man was traveling
around the world. One day in Korea he stopped to watch a boy pulling a plow which a
man was guiding. He made a snapshot of the
"amusing scene." Showing this snapshot to
the missionary who was guiding him through
the country, the man remarked: "I suppose
they are very poor."
"Yes, that is the family of Chi Noni," was
the answer. "When the church was being
built they were eager to give something to it,
but they had no money. So they sold their
only ox and gave to the church. Now they
must pull the plow themselves."
"That must have been a real sacrifice," the
business man said.
"They did not call it that," the missionary
"T^plied. ""They thought it was fortunate they
had an ox to sell."
The man returned to his home in New York.
He went to his minister, handed him the picture, and said: "I want to double my pledge
to the Church. And give me some plow work
to do, please. I have never known what
sacrifice for the Kingdom of God meant. A
converted heathen has taught me. I am
ashamed to say that I have never yet given
anything for the Kingdom that has cost me
anything.''—Exchange.
In the latter part of June, 1929, work was
started on the new building for the Textile
Industrial Institute at Spartanburg, S. C.
This building, which will serve for an administration building and a girls' dormitory, will
cost when completed and furnished approximately $30,060. It will be of*
construction.
