Excerpt from The Red Miriok
Korea has been called the Hermit Nation, as of all nations Tibet alone has exceeded it in repulsin g foreign influences. Only in 1882 did the United States secure a treaty, and that opened the country to foreign trade only in the capital, Seoul, and three ports. But in this treaty Korea was treated with as an inde pendent State, and its people are distinct from either Chinese or Japanese and well repay study and mission ary labors. This little story is one of the first to pre sent this slightly known land and its customs, and therefore deserves special attention from all who are interested in the Christiam'zing of Oriental nations.
