ABSTRACT
AT a banquet given in honour of Bishop and Mrs. Herbert Welch at Columbus, Ohio, where the Methodist Episcopal Church held the famous Centenary Celebration during July and August, 1919, a Korean leader spoke on the mission of the Korean race in the Far East. “There are two things we hope to accomplish,” he said. “We want to make Korea a democracy and a Christian democracy.” Christianity from time immemorial has sown the seed of democracy. It taught the dignity of man and sanctity of human rights, and has been a powerful enemy of the tyrant everywhere it went. The Japanese tyrant and the Christian Church in Korea are no exceptions.
