Excerpt from Korea for Christ On the eastern coast of Asia lies one of the most fascinating countries of the Far East. To the north is Manchuria, to the east Japan, to the south and west the vast tracts of China. In the centre are the 80, 000 square miles that comprise the country of Korea. The scenery of this land is beautiful, the low houses with their thatched or tiled roofs are picturesque, the people intellectual, and the manners and customs are similar in many respects to those of Palestine in the days of Christ. The history of the land goes back beyond the time of King David. In 1122 B. C. a famous Korean monarch, named Kicha, reigned in Pyeng Yang. During the succeeding thirty centuries the nation remained in largely the same condition of civilization, self-satisfied, indolent, isolated. It has been the Hermit Land of the East, proud of its antiquity, hiding itself from the rest of the world behind impassable barriers. Twenty-five years ago, a wonderful change occurred. God seemed to call this mysterious land into the forefront of the world's activity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
