It is a Well-known Fact That if the business man advertises he must do it right. At this season of the year especially, copy should be free from any suspicion of "hot air".

THE PROSrECTOlt, CRANBKOOK, B. C. Most Promising of .Converts to Christianity, They Are the Victims of Japan s War of Conquest rjTlHE land which, for more than 200 : m years, was regarded as offering thc . ** most promising field for Christianity —-Korea—is being rapidly, with fire and sword and torture, made the abode of every element of hate and enmity, the forces against which the very essence of the Christian religion has been directed since the gentle Savior himself perished on the cross of persecution. That cross, before Korea passed under the appalling Japanese yoke, had been taken up by thousands of mild, harmless, gentle feople, whose nature knew uo thought of harboring revenge. It is heme now, as a cross of crudest suffering, by the uut men of, Korea in the greatest anguish, and by the men amid oppressions that are tolerable only at the cost of fortune, honor, self-respect and every* thing that makes life worth living. Today, there remains not even hope. Swiftly, pitilessly, surely, a whole nation Is being transformed from the mildest of peoples on earth to a bitter, poisoned, vengeful race, to whom henceforward the doctrine of 'forgiveness for one's enemies must forever seem the most barbarous of mockeries. They have endured, they are enduring, all the martyrdoms of all the saints. And the women must suffer dumbly while their loved ones are enduring the tortures of the inquisition. The religion of the Redeemer who bade those stricken turn the other cheek has suffered iii Korea a reverse such as the blood of all its martyrs failed to cause. hung up by the two great toes. Or bitted like ahorse, but with tho bit drawn as tightly an possible, Tintll it presses into tha back or his throat.

Or nipped everywhere with surgeon's pincers. Or, if Units presses and tempers ure too short for any really scientific torture, kicked In lhe abdomen or battered over the ear. v These refinements of the third degree rival jiu-jitsu In the Infallible way they havo. of selecting iho most sensitive portions of the body und subjecting them to the maximum of anguish. Rut they letive no marks. A tortured Korean might swear himself black In the face In averment of his sufferings; but the judge on tlio bench would be honorably freo to look him over and say he was a liar—which the honorable judges have conslstentlv iiml convlotlngly habitually said. Of the trial which brought out tiie many charges UNDER sentence of ten years' imprisonment, Baron Tun Chi llo, the Hermit Kingdom's great progressive leader, adviser to Its despoiled ruler, Is living now a prisoner because be was too much of a patriot, and too true a Christian In spirit, to aid his country's oppressors in organizing the loot of his native land. He ls the most consplcu** oue example of. what has been dono during the laat two or threo years In turning a nation of peace-lovers Into a race of crushed but secretly cursing serfs. Nationally known as the one Korean official who wielded a paramount Influence In tho counsels of bis compatriots, the conquering Japanese hastened to creato him a baron, as their Inducement to bim to acquiesce ln their measures of rapacity.

That Korean, a couple of years earlier muster of a large household, timidly, secretly btvuthed his narrative of wrong and outrage In lho capuclty of the Inn's most menial servant, tu which the foreign looters bad reduced him; , and ho lold bow hln daughter, tho prldo of his life, was the miserable, forced companion of the bt ranger Who hud taken all his fortune aud hla home, . circumstantial accounts from American observers this year havo told of the manner lu whloh the characters of American missionaries have been blackened ln the systematic endeavor to deprive the Koreans of even lhat morul mainstay uf the soul; nnd tho crushing, silencing sentence of Huron Yun, himself tho bead of tbo Methodist College, there, was lm- jir.-Bslvo evldenco of tlio manner lu which nny Korean Inust suffer, who. In bis helplessness heforo Jupaneso aw, dared cling to the Christians ami tholr detested works, Tho rest of the story, as It has peon transpiring from month to mouth, Is ono of such outrages and toriures as only the must fiendish Ingenuity could conceive. J PrIflOIIor after prisoner, called on in open court to testify to the "confessions' wrung from hhn lu Hecret, repudiated nil Iho statements tliey had mado hy declaring thev had been extorted from their anguished bodies, under tho most exquisitely roflnod sufferings tho hand of mau could devise, They showed no marks of torture; they could only avow tlmt they hnd mf- fored.

With ono arm bent back from below and the other over its shoulder, until the two thumbs met, thoy wero strung up by pulleys, until the terrible agony of the wrenched muscles made them either admit all their torturers bade them say, or nature succumbed and they became unconscious, frequently the naked form, ln that contorted position, was whipped on all sides with a frayed rattan, which did not bring blood, but inflicted pain so intense that every blow seemed to- cut Into the living flesh, "I was killed and brought back to life three times," was the manner In which one victim tersely expressed In open court, the persistence of his pitiless persecutors. Again, with thumbs tied behind the back, a poor wretch Is set In a posture that makes every second an hour of pain, and red-hot Irons are held so eloso to his flesh that he feels he is being burned to a crisp. If he remains resolute in his denials, chunks of ice are suddenly pressed against him where the irons have bcen scorching him. The effect Is one of being burned alive.

Smith, returnlnt tbls fail to his charge, tiie Central Presbyterian Church hi Philadelphia, Slated publicly that 123 of lho most prominent pastors and ofllcers of the Protestant Christian churches In Korea were charged with an attempt to assault llie governor general. Nearly 100 were convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment of from (Ive to ten years. The sole evidence wns their own confessions, which lliey all repudiated at tho trial and said were wrung from them by the pollco by torture. The llev. Sir, Smith said there exist divergent views as to tho merits of the trial, but added that he himself talked with one physician who treated the prisoner's, several of whom died in Jail, ond llie physician declared he saw on them tho marks of tho tortures. Japan, Mr. Smith adds, has convicted a hundred of tho leading pastors and officers of the church upon evidence not worthy of the name; lie believes it Is difficult to see how, "In lho splendid galaxy of Japan's achievements! this one act can ever he known as anything else but Japan's Bhame." The lot of Korean women of the respectable class under their native rule waa far from enviable. The seclusion, which permitted her to be seen by her hus- baud only, was as much prized, aud In tlio Same way, as a lady of the west, cherishes her social exclusive- ness. Most of the well-born Korean women were able -to write tho 1S0O character-! which, drawn from tlu Chinese, constitute ihe written language of the Koreans. They are accomplished In various domestic arts and aro eligible lo tho native professions of medicine and teaching. Divorce Is uncommon, and tho rights of the wire are far better secured than among either the 'Xu.i.s or the Persians. The women of thu middle class have far more work to do, for they are liable to be ilie chief breadwinners of tho family; yet they have always held a position of respect, perhaps because of their ability to earn the family living. Among tho very poor, the economic causes, whlcb so tend to deprave morals, work in Korea with an inevitable harshness upon the women. Conditions such ns these, when aggravated by the presence of conquerors as exacting as they nro merciless, have made appalling the burden of wretchedness Imposed upon ttio women and girls of the unhappy kingdom. The sacred right of privacy, destroyed in tho genera] cataclysm of Korean society, vanished, to leave exposed to every hard chance of fortune countless ladles as lie)pi018 to .-rip themselves as their natural protestors urn to shield and preserve them. All other ranks of society have fallen Into a common ruin, wllh not a single gleam of hope for escape from their misery. lt was to those people, more Jealous than either Japan or China of their solitude and privacy, becausu of their dread of the national downfall which has at last come to pass, that Christian missionaries were sent, time and again, during the lost two centuries. The doctrine of low and forgiveness attracted them powerfully. Converts were drawn to Christianity by the thousands; and successive persecutions, undertaken by the government more lu fear than ln antipathy, failed to extirpate tho propaganda. in more recent years, the patient, gentle character her ,f of the Koream made n strong appeal to the American missionaries, who saw in their national traits Ibo true soil for lho v..win.; of the Beads of tii" gospel. The Koreans, always cherishing a longing for that mild, beneficent doctrine, bad no such prejudice against li ns has been dlt^aycd br. other oriental peoples. The teachings of thc Bavku nppealed io tho millions of Korea as they had appealed ti race, for they were Identical with tho p life among ihe people themselves. But slnco the robbery and rapine, l •■• lnju» and torture, thai have been tho dallj i"- l "i, i I 'oppressed In the Island, began their soul-de-stroj work, lho nature of the Koreans 'nay • - anged, 'f have come to look upon all mankind ns thetr dying foes. And to their afflicted souls there is one lesson to bo drawn from the, awful experlei Of these later years.
