- A Work of Renewal Concerning Socialism in China
- 1 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said to the disciples, “Today, I will conduct a work of renewal concerning Chung, but it is too far away.
- 2 Though I planned to open the gate of the spirit world at the Mahn-dohng Shrine in Cheongju County, it is difficult to go there.
- 3 Instead, I will use a place that has the same sound, chung, in its name. I will attach the qi to Chung-doh-wun Village and undertake the work there.”
- 4 On His way to Chung-doh-wun Village with Hyung-yul and Gohng-ooh, He visited the shrine for the village’s guardian spirit. He lay down on the floor of the shrine and said, “Let us rest here.” Then, He fell asleep.
- 5 When He awoke from His nap, He said, “Russian soldiers are My soldiers.
- 6 There is no other way but to entrust China to Russian soldiers.”
- 7 He also said, “China will be kicked by the feet of the East and West. The scar will be deep and long-lasting.
- 8 This will occur because they have received tribute from Korea for a long time.”
- 9 Later that day, they arrived at Gim Sohng-hwahn’s house in the village, and there Sahng-jeh-nim wrote something and burned it.
- 10 That night, Sahng-jeh-nim stayed at Yu Chahn-myung’s house in the same village. There, He opened the gate of the spirit world and conducted a work of renewal in which He wrote and burned many writings.
- 11 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said to the disciples, “Today, the Wanlichang Spirit will come from China. We should treat the spirit.” He bought some alcohol and shared it with the disciples.
