Hal Boyle By JACK McBETH (For Hal Boyle) With United Nations forces, Korea, (JP) — A young Korean clergyman clenched his fists, said something in his native tongue and then added firmly in English: “If the United Nations only would give us the arms we will fight and keep on fighting to the end—even me.” David Chung, who received his Bachelor of Divinity degree from the University of Toronto in 1949, is pastor of the Chodong Presbyterian church in Seoul. The church building was destroyed during the battle for Seoul. Interviewed during a visit to Canadian troops in South Korea, Chung said 24 of 80 Presbyterian clergymen in Seoul had been murdered by the communists. He added he was one of some 300 Christian leaders who have fled southward from the Seoul area as well as from North Korea. Chung, whose congregation consisted mostly of refugees from the Canadian mission area of Northwest Korea, blamed early South Korean military reversals on insufficient arms. “When the communists came, we had no tanks, no bazookas—just poor equipment,” he said. Discussing South Korean arma-ment, the clergyman repeated several times and with obvious feeling: “If we only had the arms?” In the early days of the red occupation of Seoul, Chung said, Christians were allowed to conduct services and move about freely. “But on Aug. 23 they began to arrest us,” he related. “They got one of my neighbors and that is when I decided to hide at a friend’s house. I stayed there until the Americans came.” Two weeks before the North Koreans launched their invasion, Chung said, all but a few of the Christian leaders in North Korea were arrested by the government police for “security reasons” and many were never seen again. Asked if any Christians were known to hold responsible positions in the North Korean government, Chung replied: “Oh yes. Premier Kim Il Sung's secretary is a Presbyterian clergyman. He had a nice church in Pyongyang.” Referring to Korea before World War II as “a hermit nation,” Chung said the country’s aloofness and isolationism retarded its acquisition of Western skills and culture as well as the progress of Christianity. “Although only three per cent of the Korean population is Christian,” he said, “the Christian influence is widely felt. Before this war started we were gaining strength rapidly. Our churches were overcrowded.” Expressing confidence in the ul- Presbyterian Sets Candle Service A special Christmas service will be held at the Presbyterian church at 11 p.m., Sunday night.

And he came by the Spirit into the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people." ultimate victory, the Korean minister declared solemnly: "I had expected the Korean communists were Korean and human.
