    Hurry The EastPerhaps Kipling was being funny when he wrote the

    epi taph, FJere lies the man who tried to hurry theEast. The Oriental jokes about Americans who are always hurrying and scurrying about. Knowing we are ina hurry. Our Oriental friends always give their estimateson how long a thing will require in terms they knowwill make us happy. They have some wonderful phraseswhich they can use later to say I am sorry .

    It al l adds up to areport that we are notyet living in the housebeing built at KwangAn Dong. I3ut thereare no outright stops,just tile usual, requiring more time than wethought it would. Thefact that progress continues, even thoughslower than we hadhoped, is a source ofthanksgiving.

    In America we havecorner-stones.* Herein th e Far as t wehave special ceremonie s when the ridgepole*' is raised intoplace. We put the

    Pusan .Pusan, Korea is a typical Orintal city, but withsome special features. More than one million peoplelive on the coas t and on the large island-in one of-theworld's best natural harbors. This city was not bombedduring the Korean war but has suffered a number ofgreat fires that have almost entirely wiped out the oldcity. It was the great refugee center for Koreans fleeingthe communists. In a matter of weeks the population

    jumped from fifty thousand to more than fourmillion. Some of th erefugees are gone, butmany have no home towhich they can return.A few have managed toimprove on the cardb oard and t in-can hutstha t served as she l te rduring that fi rst dread-fo r winter. The burnedout areas are being rebuil t with be utifulmodern buildings. Thecont ras t is remarkab le .Along the water front,a re b e au ti fu l new buildings. Clinging on thesides of the hills onlya few feet away, arehuts and hovels hardlyf it fo r an imal s

    The city we call home is a tough town. It is reportedthat sailors on the many ships which call here are a-fraid to come ashore, so bad is the reputation of Pusan,the toughest city in the world. Of course there aremany decent and respectable people and it isnotnec-cessary to go into the bars and dives from which comesmost of the tough reputation. However, a recentgovernment report showed thet there were more than5,000 prostitutes in Pusan, with only half as many inthe Capitol city of Seoul. Continued on next page

But allow a few more weeks for hold ups that could happen onlyout here in Korea and ynu willhave the story about right.In Seoul the various Government agencies are goingover all of the technical drawings and reports that represent a radio station on paper . The wonderful Consulting Engineer who has been doing all this work hasbeen str icken with an attact of hepatitus and ordered tobed for at least six weeks. Continued on next page

    Hurry the East , Continued from front page are in sympathy with his il lnessbut we do rejoice that his initialwork was almost if not ent irely completed.

    do not have space here to gointo details on all of the developments here on the mission field. Anytime there is any phase of this development on which you would likemore d e t a i l s do not hesitate towrite us a personal letter and wewilldo ourbest to give you the wholepicture.

    We do need your prayers for wisdom to know His will and for strengthto walk therein. We need patiencewhen the Lord slows things down andwe need extra strength and abilitywhen the doors open on every hand.We are concerned with the progresstoward getting the station on the air.But God is more concerned than weca n ever be fo r He is more concerned with the souls of men, and theyare at stake. It is His strength andprovision in which this work is being done and His is the glory whenthe Word of God wins victories in thesouls of men as we know it will.

    The r idge pole of fhe Kwong An Dong houseis pu t into p/ace with prayers of dedicationfo the service of the Gospel and the glory ofChrist. And with special thanks for a ll t ho sewho have given the special designated offerings that are building the house.

    OPPORTUNITIESWe live with opportimities on everhand, Only the limits of body and

    time restrict the variety of thingsthat can be done to reach people withthe Gospel of Christ. Our first efforts must be those i nv ol ved w it hgetting the radio station on the air.So we often have to by-pass things

    At th e rear door of t he R .O .K . Army prison.Alex is with the p rison C ha pla in Le e (left)and regular Korean Army Chaplain Kim (cent er ). A/ex ha s fus t preached to prison churchservice wi th mor e thon one t hous and youngm en tn a t t e n d an c e

    we would like very much to do.In the past few weeks I Alexhave preached tomorethan a thousandyoung men in the ROK Army prison

    and in the boys section of a House ofCorrect ion . Both offers great opportunities. Most of the Army prisonersare country boys who could not understand Military life and got int rouble . At heart they are bewildered and confused. They are very interested in the Christian message.Out of a compound of three thousandmore than one thousand attend regular church services. What a joy itwas to show how this opportunity toknow Christ could be the most important thing that ever happenedMany of them will go back to theirhomes in a few months and wil l takeChrist with them.The Correct ion House is for youngpeople from 12 to 20 who are not

    really criminals but are beginning toget into trouble. Only the Gospel ofChris t can get these fine young people on the right track. And the people in authority seem to realize this.Bible classes are part of the regularschedule .

    One great oppor tuni ty we have noteven been able to touch . . . The Colleges and Universities would welcome missionaries to hold Bibleclasses and organize Christian activities on their campuses . Tens ofthousands of Korea s future leaderswilling to listen to the Word of Godand no one to guide them. There is

    PUSAN . . .Continued from front pagePusan sometimes called Fusan,since the sound is between a Pand F ) is also a city of churches.In any direction you can count thespires of a dozen or more large,western style buildings. Many ofthese stand on the high hills overlooking the city and harbor. In theearly days the hills were thoughtto be the homes of demons so noone bu t th e Christ ians wou ld bui ldthere, hence the land was verycheap.Several of the church buildings wereerected by the refugees by their ownhands and at great personal sacrifice to be left as a thanks gift tothe community that took them inwhen they were driven by the Communists from their own homes.

    There are six congregations patterned after th e New Testamentexample. Some of these are far fromthe ideal but at least one is as soundin the faith as any that could befound anywhere in the world.

    The new missionary radio stationis being built in the Kwang An DongDong means section area of Pusan.Actually it is a village three or fourmiles from the city proper, but it isal l included in the Pusan administrative area. The area is Kwang AnDong but the village is Kwanganli.It is located on the shore of the Inland Sea that separates the mainland of Asia from Japan. are outside the harbor area but on a beautiful cove with white sand beach.

    RECORDSA radio station in America gets

    most of its programs from threesources First there are the networks to which most s ta t ions belong and the programs produced atconsiderable cost at one central location an d u se d on hundreds of radiostations All of the cost is usuallypaid by the sponsor. The programcosts the radio station nothing, andand in turn, they are paid for the time,that is used Another source is th etranscription library. There areseveral companies and these programs are recorded full 15 or 30minute program. These include manytypes of things including drama andmusic. Since they are made availableto a large number of stations, thenindividual stations can purchase theseprograms at a very nominal fee. Thethird are the n ews b ro ad ca st s andthe material comes to the station byteletype and requires only that theannouncer reads what has been prepared in some center

    None of these sources ar e availableto us when we program a missionaryradio station News service can bepurchased, but are very expensiveand the material arrives in Englishso must be translated Otherwise al lprograms have to originate in our owns tud ios The s ta tion in Pusan willhave to be responsible for producingmore programs than the largest stations in New York or Hollywood.The one source of help is phonographrecords of classical music Classicalmusical programs are much morepopularin the Orient than in America.While they do not directly contributeto the spread of the Gospel, they doprovide attractive programs that willa tt ra ct l is te ne rs to th e station andthey will be already listening whenthe Gospel programs are presented.

    To help missionary radio stationsobtain suitable records at the lowestpossible price is the special projectof William Grouse of llavertown Pennsylvania. He purchases records atwholesa le and watches for specialbargain sales and then renders anextremely valuable service by auditing all the disks to make sure theyare in perfect condition and providingprogram notes and detai ls of timing.This last item is particularly important when you are preparing a broadcast It is necessary to know theexact amount o f t im e a musical number requires

    Mr. Grouse has very graciously offeredto help us. lie has already shipped more than 1,000 worth of records at wholesale price. Since ourfunds are being used in construct ionhe has arranged that we can pay forthese very valuable records over aperiod of months. It would be a realhelp if some church or group couldundertake as their special projectthe paying for these records at SIOOa month

    MOM AND DAD OUR NEW WORKERSWe are very happy to introduce Wesley's father and mother, who, the Lordwil li ng , wil l soon be working with us forChrist i n Sappo ro . In the past, Mom and

    T h e work in Sapporo has expanded in awonderful way until we are a t the placewhere we m u s t have help. R ath er t h anemploy Japanese who would be workingfor the financial g ain in stead of conviction, we feel that help is needed fromAmerica. In a few years we will havepeople in the church here read y to takeover the leadership, but at present everything about Christ and His Church is newt o t h e m T h e r e a r e t w o B i b l e c l a s s e swhich are taught in English and othergroups where an in terpre ter can be used.T h e folks can t a k e over this p a r t of thework as soon as t he y a rr iv e. We realizetha t it is better to spend tw o years in alanguage school, but we need help now.I t is possible to teach with an interpreterfor if we had gone to language school thework in Sapporo would not yet haveb e e n s t a r t e d

    I t is important for the churches andthe mis sio na rie s to get to know eachother. However, time and expense willnot permit them to visit the churches,We hope tha t you will trust our judgement in asking them, To come over andhelp us. I t would be better if all o f th eirsuppor t cam e from the churches, b u t inorder to get to the field s oo ne r Dad haso f f e r e d t o u s e h i s s m a l l i n co m e to a s s u r ethem enough to meet th e minimum requirem ents. The Beach St. Church ofT e r r e Haute, Indiana has pledged 20. ofthis amount. If o thers will make up ther e m a i n i n g 100 a month , a dedicatedcouple, capable of doing the t a s k will beable to come to Sapporo this fall.About 2000 will be needed to cover thecost of passage and freight. Half of thisamount will have to be on hand by the15th of August to pay their fare. Already200 has been given. We pray t h a t byyour gifts of love you will speed them ontheir way. With your help they sail the

    22nd of September.

    WITH WESLEYOften after a full and busy day wethank God for the wonder fu l opportun ities that He has given us to serve theLord. Yet many times there is a feelingof regre t because we have not had timeto get everything done. We can only pray

    that God will give us ano ther day and the.s tr ength to do the task t h a t these peoplemight not perish wihout Jesus.First thing each morning w e spend acouple hours with our language teacher.In the beginning th e language went fast,but as one get s deepe r into the study theprogress is slower. We don't feel too badly as we have met several missionar iesover here who have spent a y e a r o r twoin a language school and still must preachand teach t h r o u g h a n interpreter . Afterlanguage study the rest of the morning isusually spent e it he r in study or in preparing the mate r ia ls for the different groups.We a r e translating J. W illis Hal e's Note son A cts and mimeographing them in bothJ ap an ese a nd English. So many of thepeople attend two or three of the evening

    c l a s s e s t h a t w e m u s t f o l l o w a d i f f e r e n tcourse of study for each one. The peopleh er e a re w e l l e d u c a t e d s o e a c h l e s s o n m u s tbe well prepared, also the interpreter likesa copy of each lesson a t least a day b ef or ei t i s used.Sundays the groups meet so close to
