The hour when the wind subsided, the landscapewas painted on the river like a canvas by using the technique calleddecalcomania. Cherries and willows have bloomed while theridges are putting arms around each other’s shoulders. Due to the Sewolferry disaster, it was a heartbreaking time. Good news was not heard at all. Nevertheless,the hopeful news has come. This is themessage that a friend wrote a student missing in the ship: “You are evangelizing in the ship, aren’t you?”. It was reported that the missingstudent was a board member of a high school youth group and he was trying to evangelize. We who are lefton the earth have to preach the gospel to neighbors out of desperation.
