EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the compassionate care provided by the Sisters of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (S.P.G.) at the Chin Chun Hospital in Korea during the 1910s. The Sisters, dressed in their traditional habits, are seen tending to the inpatients with tender affection, offering comfort and medical attention to those in need. The hospital, established by the S.P.G. missionaries, was a beacon of hope for the local community, providing essential healthcare services during a time when medical facilities were scarce. The patients, some lying in beds and others sitting up, appear grateful for the attention they are receiving, their expressions reflecting a mix of relief and hope. The serene atmosphere of the hospital is further emphasized by the presence of lush greenery and natural light filtering in through the windows. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the selfless dedication of the S.P.G. missionaries and the transformative impact they had on the lives of the people they served in Korea.
