On the Right

I AM mindful that Samuel Johnson enjoined the preachers of his time not to inveigh against those who were absent from church on Sundays by scolding those who were not absent. Notwithstanding Dr. Johnson’s stricture, I here berate those who fail to heed the atrocities in China and North Korea, by appealing to those who have heeded these barbarisms, drawing attention to the inattention that the Christian world seems to be paying them.

Meghan Clyne of the New York Sun cites a report on North Korea compiled by David Hawk, the author of Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea’s Prison Camps. Hawk and his South Korean researchers obtained dozens of eyewitness accounts of persecutions of Christians.
