Potts The Korea Movement Some people believe that the title on the first page of this folder is not true. They are willing to concede the spiritual helpful- ness of the Movement, but can not see how the sending of A large sum of money to a foreign field can financially help the home church. The statement is more than a paradox to them — ^it is an irreconcilable contradiction. The subject is w^orthy of our candid consideration. Eveiy true pastor places the emphasis of his ministry on the SPIRITUAL work of his church and is not satisfied until he secures spiritual results. Nothing can compensate for lack of the Divine BLESS- ING on his work. That there is, also, a very close, vital relation between money AND the king- dom, pastors know. The gifts of the people are a test of their devotion to Christ. A movement, w^hich, entered into heartily by the pastors, will reveal to the church members material resources w^hich they had not dreamed pos- sible, wdU prove A GREAT FINANCIAL HELP. We believe that any pastor who will carefully study the plans will be convinced that THE KOREA QUARTER-CExNTEN- NIAL MOVEMENT will be so conducted that it will be a spiritual blessing and a great financial aid TO ALL PARTICIPAT- ING CHURCHES. Plans We propose to safeguard the regular in- terests of the church. Looking to the pastors to cooperate in the public presenta- tion of Korea’s needs, the secretaries of the Movement will make no pubUc appeals in the congregations for contributions or pledges unless invited to do so. The Movement will not appeal to Sunday Schools or Epworth Leagues for pledges. The Movement will be educational and spiritual and will rely on quiet, personal effort to secure financial results, guarding at all times the interests of the regular benevolences and of the local church budget. How, Then, are the Above Results To Be Secured? First, Spiritually. The study of one of the most remarkable spiritual movements in history and a participation in it, by helping to enlarge the area of its operation and increase its fruitage, will yield the richest spiritual blessings. The study of Korea in transition, giving your congregation the opportunity of hear- ing of the wonderful work of God among this people, vnll strengthen the faith, quicken the zeal and stimulate the spiritual activity of your church. Second, Financially. We wall furnish you, free of cost, refreshing and fascinating lit- erature on Korea, its history, people, the great revival and the peerless opportunity for Christian conquest there. ^ This material you can use, if you so de- sire, m the preparation of two Sunday morning sermons, one for January 22 and the other for KOREA DAY, JANUARY 29 , IQtX. The plan contemplates that in connec- tion with your sermon on January 22 you urge your people, for the week beginning January 23 and ending January 29, to practice the most rigid self-denial, at the table, in expenditures for pleasures and in all other possible ways, laying aside what they save by this method that they may bring it to the House of God on January 29, when you will deliver the closing ad- dress on Korea and, amid hymns of praise, receive their offerings, which will represent sacrifice for Christ’s sake for the winning of Korea. There could be no better preparation for revival work than this. People have been converted through simply hearing the story of the Pentecostal revivals in the Orient. We beheve that every pastor who enters heartily into this plan will render the largest possible service to his people and at the same time will reveal to them a method by which church enterprises can be ade- quately financed — the method of self-denial for Jesus’ sake — and thus will make this Movement prove a great financial help to his church. Securing money by such a method will not lessen the gifts to any other cause. More than that— having experienced the joy of rigid self-denial for the Master’s sake in order that an empire may be laid at His scarred feet as the firstfruits of the gospel in the Orient, His followers will the more readily practice self-denial for other causes at home and abroad. In this way the Movement, will fulfill the desire of those who are promoting it — a deep, prayerful longing that it may prove to be TO THE ENTIRE CHURCH A Source of Permanent Spiritual and Financial Blessing, Issuing in New Conceptions of the Stewardship of Life and of Service and of Money, and in Gracious and Far-Reaching Revivals of New Testament Religion.
