Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from First Korean Congress: Philadelphia, 1919 Dr. Jaisohn: There is no nation in the world whom the Koreans love more than the United States of America, excepting only their own country. There is a good reason for this: Ever since Korea was opened to foreign intercourse, while the Koreans have found that most of the foreign nations were there for the purpose of self-exploitation or political aggrandizement, with America it has not been so. On the contrary, America sent missionaries by hundreds; they brought the Bible, with which they gave this oppressed and unfortunate people a new hope and a new courage in this life. The Evangelical efforts of these missionaries were followed by hospitals, schools, science, arts, music and the spirit of independence and democracy. Thus came those American pioneers and missionaries. Is it any wonder then that the Koreans love America? We will therefore with the opening of this Congress sing the national hymn of the country which they love, next to Korea. I will therefore ask all to rise and sing "America" with that true spirit of love and veneration. Led by the orchestra, the Congress rose and sang "America." Dr. Jaisohn: We are honored this morning by the presence of a gentleman who is one of the most eminent divines of this community. He is not only eminent in our religious circles, but he stands high in this community, the state and the country as a champion of civic righteousness. He stands for justice, whether in our community, our commonwealth or in the nation, and his sympathy is international. With his great big Christian heart, softened after hearing the tale of the Koreans, he came to us with that thorough Christian sympathy and fellowship, and he is going to address you this morning on subjects which I am sure will be of great interest and very instructive to you. We have many friends in America, and I take great pleasure in presenting to you one of them, Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins.
