-After fourteen years of medical work in Seoul and Chemulpó the Mission has found it impossible to carry on, satisfactorily, the work in both places from lack of funds, and has decided that it is better to concentrate its efforts on Chemulpo. To do the work as we should wish we have found it necessary to spend a considerable sum of money on the reconstruction of the building at Chemulpó, the contract for which has cost 7,000 yen. This money we have been able to raise among the friends of the Mission in England.

 There are, however, other things which are absolutely necessary, such as the enclosure of the premises and the internal fittings of the Hospital, for which the funds in hand are insufficient. These additions will involve an expense of at least 3,000 yen, towards which the Bishop has contributed a sum of 500 yen, and it has been thought that some of our friends in Corea would be ready to supply the rest, thus helping on a work the necessity for which anyone who is at all aware of the condition of the Coreans in Chemulpó cannot fail to recognise.

 The Bishop-Designate estimated the amount required for the forthcoming year at £300, and stated that he would be glad to have an immediate advance of £100 to replace the same amount which he had borrowed from another fund, which had been used in structural repairs and alterations to the hospitals.
 The Hon. Treasurer, the Rev. S. Kenah, having resigned his post, Captain J. H. Corfe has been asked to take on his duties, and it is hoped he will consent to do so.

+===Hospital Work.===
-We have received from Corea excellent accounts of what is practically the new hospital at Chemulpó. The old wing containing wards and nurses' quarters has been entirely rebuilt and considerably enlarged, and the nurses' quarters have been removed to the old out-patients' waiting-rooms and dispensary, which have been rearranged internally, and are connected with the doctor's quarters; a new room has been added to Dr. Weir's house to give him a room in which he can receive European patients who come to see him ; there will be two large wards containing about ten to twelve beds each and two small wards for private patients, in one of which a European patient is now under treatment; the operation room remains as before, and several small rooms have been added-bath room, patients' kitchen, drug room, laboratory, &c. The out-patients come in great numbers, and, in spite of the fact that there is no nurse at present, several in-patients have been already admitted. We are glad to be able to announce that Miss Jephson, who offered to go out to Corea a year ago, but was delayed owing to the outbreak of the war, is intending to leave for Chemulpó at the beginning of February, and we hope she will soon be able to relieve Mrs. Weir of some of the many duties for which she is now responsible, and to assist Doctor Weir with the dispensary and general work of the hospital. We hope too we may soon hear of a nurse who will go out and join her, that the hospital may have its full complement, and so the workers may be enabled to use to the full the plant with which we have been able to supply them.

-The cost of these alterations and additions has been considerable, as will be seen from the letter we print below, and when the work has been completed we hope to obtain a statement of accounts which will show our readers the sources from which the money has been drawn and the way in which it has been spent. At present we can only say that the accommodation is in no way complete, for Dr. Weir urges very strongly, and we think rightly, that a women's ward is as necessary as a men's ward, and although women are ready to come into the hospital for treatment yet they cannot be put into the common wards. This means that we very badly want a separate ward for women. For this we want money, and as yet we hardly see where it is all coming from ; but if, as we hope, the land adjoining the hospital can be procured, we must try and provide a building on it for the women. As we have had, at least temporarily, to close the Women's Hospital in Seoul, we feel it is all the more incumbent on us to do what we can for the women at Chemulpó. We hope, at any rate, that those who in former years have supported beds in the hospital at Seoul will continue their help during the coming year, and allow us to use the money this year for building a women's ward, and then next year, and we hope for many years after, their help will be all the more needed for the support of the ward they are building or helping to build now. Any help towards the building of this ward will be very gladly received, for we feel very strongly that we ought to do all we can to give to Dr. Weir and his staff a hospital in which he can adequately tackle the heavy work he will have thrust upon him. The Bishop speaks in his letter of the work Dr. Weir is doing, and we echo his hope that we shall have an account of his work from himself soon. It is growing and will grow, and we have no doubt will be of the very greatest help in relieving the physical needs of a people whose doctors are absolutely incompetent, and we hope that it may be more and more a help also to them spiritually, and that by the teaching given within the hospital walls and by the prayers of those without, as well as by the mere breaking down of prejudice against the foreigner, it may lead the Coreans to throw themselves on the mercy of the Great Physician of souls, as they now trust to the kindness and skill of their earthly physician.

 We print below a letter issued in Corea some months ago, which has already received a generous response from those who are living in the country and know the need of the people. We confidently look forward to their further help in years to come. We thank them heartily for the willingness they have shown in assisting us and the Coreans for whom we are working. We may explain that in the accounts yen 10 may be taken as equal to £1.

 MY DEAR CHILDREN,

+In this letter I must try and tell you something about <span style="color:red">the Corean orphans</span>, for it is so long since I have given you any news of them.
 The reason is that I had nothing to tell you before, but the Sister who takes care of the orphans is now in England, and has just been to see me, so I was able to ask her all sorts of questions about the children, and she showed me some very interesting things that she had brought with her from Corea. I told her I wished she had brought all the nineteen orphans for us to see.
-I heard about a good many of them. Theresa, the eldest, seems to be a very good girl, and able to help with the younger ones in all sorts of ways; and she can cook the rice, which the Coreans eat so much of, very nicely. Phoebe is very full of fun, and up to all sorts of mischief. Little Mark, with his one arm, who used to be so delicate, has got on nicely now, and is able to run about and enjoy himself. Elizabeth seems to be a dear little girl, and Baby Bridget, who is just beginning to walk, is a great pet. We talked too about Emma, who does needlework so well, and about a good many of the others, but I am afraid I cannot remember all their names.

They wrote the letters first of all with their teacher, but when Theresa got home she burnt hers and wrote another one, as she thought it would be so much nicer to do it all by herself!</span>

+<span style="color:red">Six of the orphans went away to the sea for a few weeks last summer, just as they did the year before. They went to Chemulpó and had a very jolly time there. It was very hot weather, so they spent most of their time in the garden under the shade of the chestnut trees. There they played with their toys, did needlework, and lay down for a nap in the middle of the day. Sometimes they chased the large butterflies, but of course they never caught any. These butterflies are larger than humming birds, and about the size of a wren. They are different colors; the prettiest are peacock blue, with darker shades, and they are all like the softest velvet.</span>
 I have more to tell you about the orphans which I must keep till next time; if I can find a picture of them I will send it with this letter.
 Don't you think it would be very nice if we could send a few presents to the orphans when Sister Barbara goes back to Corea later on in the year? I will tell you some of the things that they are always glad to have, and then, perhaps, you will be able to find something that you can give them.
-First of all, they would be very glad of some bright pictures to put on the walls of the Orphanage, but remember, the pictures must be colored, for Coreans do not like anything dull. Then they are very fond of all sorts of fancy buttons, and odds and ends of bright material, and they are always glad to have beads to thread. If some of you would like to do needlework for them they will be very glad of bibs, cuffs, small night-gowns, and pillow-cases, colored handkerchiefs, socks, squares of towelling for washing, and patchwork rugs. But please do not make anything without writing to me first, so that I can tell you exactly how these things are to be made.

 Will you all try this year to pray more earnestly, and to help the Mission in other ways as well, more than you have ever done before ?

 OWING to the combined efforts of the members of both Associations, the Corean stall at the Bazaar was again well provided with contributions, in addition to the curios, of which there were several new varieties.
 The Misses Trollope and their helpers realised over £80 in the two days at the stall, and with some after-sales and a show of curios at St. Peter's Grange, St. Leonards-on-Sea, the total received by the end of 1904 was £100
 In spite of the great sorrow which fell upon the Community of St. Peter in the last days of November, in the death of the Reverend Mother (R.I.P.), and which necessitated the postponement of the Day of Intercession to December 6, there was a Targe attendance, especially at the afternoon meeting, to meet Mr. Turner, who most kindly came up from Worcester on purpose to be present and to preach at Evensong. Once again the large room at St. Peter's Home was spoken of as the "meeting-ground” of the members of the Corean Mission by Rev. A. G. Deedes, who, with Rev. M. N. Trollope, contributed largely to the interest of the gathering.
 The subject of Mission-work was most ably dealt with by Mr. G. W. Russell, M.P., who spoke of the encouraging interest now increasingly shown in the Mission-field by all classes, and pointed out that the cost, sacrifices, and glories of the lives of martyrs are not only past history, but may be seen in many lives to-day.
 The beautiful address on Intercession by the Rev. Newton Mant has been written out, with the notes of the other addresses, and the sermon at Evensong, and the Secretary will be glad to send them on receipt of a stamped envelope.
 Lay-Sister Barbara is now in England for a much-needed rest, and can give any information about the orphans who are her especial charge in Seoul.
 The Secretary is so often consulted as to the kind of work suitable for working-parties, that it is refreshing to speak of the result of the work of a Girls' Club in South Devon in a year by which they have been able to raise the necessary sum of £5 for the support of a child in the Orphanage ; and the G.F.S. candidates at Winchester have offered a contribution of cuffs, bibs, &c., for the children, which are most welcome. Nothing comes amiss, and everything can be turned to account.

 DEAR FRIENDS
-At the beginning of this month I have, I hope, time to add a few words by way of postscript to my last, and to tell you that I have at last received news of our missing Mr. Badcock. A telegram informs me that he left England with Mr. Bridle on November 1. "Stale news” for you indeed, but news, and, I need not say, very acceptable news, for us. They should both be with us by the new year, but I fear that the good people at St. Peter and St. Paul will not get their Christmas communion. Mr. Laws is holding that “fort” valiantly. I hope soon to send him back to reopen his dispensary at On Sou Tong.

 “ Morning Calm."
-FOR many reasons the present seems an opportunity which it will be necessary for us to take of making certain changes in the Magazine, which for fifteen years has been the record of the Mission's work. The suggested changes will be probably as follows. Our own particular portion of the Magazine will remain much as at present, but with it, instead of some twelve or sixteen pages of “The Spirit of Missions," will be bound up three copies of the S.P.G. publication the Church Abroad. “The Spirit of Missions” will be curtailed probably to two pages, but it will not be lost altogether, as the lady who for so long has kindly supplied us with the material has promised to send us about that quantity each quarter; there will also necessarily be certain changes in the form in which the information given on the cover is now printed, but they will not be material. We feel that we are going in the right direction in thus “parochialising” or “diocesanising" the S.P.G. paper, and we hope that it will help to spread abroad the news of what is being done in all parts of the world by that Society. The price to subscribers will remain the same as at present, and we hope that, as the cost of production will probably be somewhat smaller, we may avoid any debt on the publication of Morning Calm in future. May we in this connection point out that the loss in the year 1903 was £15. 15s., but that if all our subscribers ordered their copies from Miss Trollope a great deal of this loss would be saved ? Another change which we think will be advisable is to publish as other magazines are published, in the first instead of the second month in the quarter. We hope that our readers will take notice of this change, and warn their booksellers, as the next issue will very probably be in April. The matter is not quite definitely settled, and any communications on the matter should be made to the Editor, 125 Vassall Road, Brixton, S.W., or to Bishop Turner.
+===Association of Prayer and work for Corea.===
 We have several changes this quarter to chronicle. Swindon sustains a great loss in the retirement of Mrs. Thompson, and we hope that Miss Toppin will be able to carry on the work which has been so ably commenced. Miss Wilshere will be very glad to hear of anyone willing to be Local Secretary for the Frythe district, in Hertfordshire. In Southsea we have another change: Miss Cholmely, who succeeded Miss Beckett last year, now gives place to Miss Marsh.

 When any branch of A.P.W.C. has converted a Parochial Association to our principles, that branch of A.P.W.C. can vanish, becoming instead a branch of the Parochial Association. At present several branches pay their money in this way, and we might specially mention this quarter Harleston and Barnsley, where moneys have gone direct to headquarters of S.P.G. for Corea. The General Secretary hopes to make an arrangement with S.P.G. by which she will be able to publish in Morning Calm the moneys contributed through this channel.

 No news has reached us this month of Mr. Badcock's departure from England. The consequences of the withdrawal of a priest in charge of this important parish were soon apparent. One of our Christians occupying a leading and responsible position has had to be dismissed and suspended for repeated misconduct. The formation of Christian character amongst the people of this naturally weak race is a long and trying process, requiring the closest attention on the part of the parish priest, who has to watch his people one by one, as nurses watch their babies.
 This unexpected closing of Kangwha adds another to the catalogue of disasters which have befallen the Mission this year. On the other hand, we confidently expect Mr. Bridle's return before Christmas. During the whole of his furlough his letters have shown an eagerness which, in spite of the evident enjoyment he is getting at home, has never left us in doubt that November I would see him outward bound
-St. Luke's Hospital is now completely and beautifully restored. Dr. and Mrs. Weir revel in the large wards, the roomy passages, the new surgery and waiting-rooms. I hope that before long he will give some account of his work in Morning Calm. He has plenty of patients—so many, indeed, that in order to make his work possible he is obliged to issue tickets and to treat those only who present them. For a long time he has taken to reading Corean prayers to the patients and his household every morning, and he always manages to get some Corean to read or, from notes of the doctor's own providing, to speak to the patients in the waiting-room. Also, I was delighted to hear, he is now able to help Mr. Gurney in St. Michael's Church by reading the Litany at the Corean service on Sundays. From the notes I get from Mr. Gurney I gather that he too is happy, and certainly is not idle. Both he and I feel our limitations as parish priests amongst those whom we long to help and guide, but in vain. He will be as glad as I when Mr. Bridle is amongst his flock again.

-Up here we go along in our uneventful way, services very regular with our average of attendances fairly well kept up. During the month there was a Confirmation of four adult Christians sent by Mr. Hillary from On Sou Tong-men who should have been confirmed by me there last Easter, but whose baptism had, unavoidably, to be deferred. They came up in charge of Mark Kim, our native catechist, and the old church warden, both of whom I was delighted to see again. On their return to Kangwha they were windbound at Chemulpó for a day and a night. Mr. Gurney, who never seems to lose an opportunity, "beat his drum" or issued a "five line whip" of some sort and gathered all the Christians for an Evensong, and on the following morning for the Holy Eucharist. Altogether they enjoyed themselves not a little.

-At home I see that you have been having in the newspapers much discussion on the use of the Quicunque vult in church. Our practical commentary on it here has been to introduce it every Sunday afternoon at the service for instruction of catechumens. We say the Catechism together (our Catechism, not the Church Catechism, of course, for they are not Christians), and, as I am unable to explain it to them, I use the Church's own explanation. As everyone has a copy in his Psalter, he can see for himself how closely that part of our catechumens' Catechism which deals with the doctrines of the Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation follows the lines of "this Confession of our Christian Faith." We shall soon have the little orphans pattering it. These small people-about three feet high-make their little voices heard in the congregation, I can tell you. They repeat Creed. Confession, and Lord's Prayer very distinctly, and in the hymns have a trained "use" of their own, which there is no resisting, bless them! Advent has now come upon us, and we have changed our two Psalms-the fifteenth at Evensong and the first at Mattins-for portions of the twenty-fifth and ninety-sixth, both of them containing good Advent teaching. At Christmas we shall change them again. This will seem strange to you who have the whole Psalter. With only a limited number of Psalms translated, we must do the best we can. But, so slow of apprehension are these simple folk, it is no bad thing to have the same Psalm over and over again.

After I have written a rough copy of the passage or verse, I trim it as best I can, endeavoring to make it accurate in translation and intelligible in Corean (that is to say, not a bald translation of the Chinese), and then I make a fair copy, which is handed to one of our teachers, who writes beautifully, the copy which will be read in church. For years our people have been familiar with the Ten Commandments, but they know neither when nor how they were originally given. Now they will soon learn, for in this new section of translation I have got as far as Exodus xxxiv.

 DEAR FRIENDS,
-Before Mr. Turner left we had begun to open up work in the neighborhood of Syou Ouen, a town on the line of railway which is being laid between Seoul and Fusan, the south east port of Corea. Syou Ouen is about twenty-five miles from Seoul, and we find ourselves there in consequence of a request from several of the inhabitants who wish to be instructed in “the doctrine." In the present impoverished condition of the clerical staff it is impossible to accede to this request directly. All that could be done was to send as trust worthy a man as we could find who would go and, seeing for himself who these people were, would bring back a report. The man sent was a catechumen. He took some books, which were soon disposed of, and found that these people were in the habit of meeting together on Sundays for prayer and reading. Matters had reached this tentative stage when Mr. Turner left. Since then I have had a request from these people - about twenty in all—that we should buy a small house which will serve as a meeting-place for them. I sent one of our oldest Christians to prospect and bring me back word. His report was very favorable. Moreover, a small house was for sale, and after a few more negotiations the title deeds passed into my hands for the sum of a little over £3.

 At the same time the catechumen who was first sent down moved into this house, of which he is now caretaker. Of course this work "hangs fire," like so much of our work, for want of men. A few weeks after the purchase of the house Mr. Gurney (accompanied by his teacher) paid it a surprise visit of a couple of hours (it is easily accessible by rail), and was received with much kindness by as many of the inquirers as could be gathered together. He even essayed to give them some instruction, and had prayers with them.
 With regard to this railway, it has since been finished. Our mails are ceasing to go or come viâ Chemulpó, the train taking them daily by rail between Seoul and Fusan, thereby effecting a saving of about a day. At the beginning of next year the Japanese hope to have an accelerated service of trains which, by the help of a fast steamer between Fusan and Moji (in Japan), will enable passengers to travel between Seoul and
-Tokyo in fifty hours, a journey which now takes a week.

 The end of this month finds us in very “low water" indeed. We have not yet heard of the return of Mr. Badcock to Kangwha on the expiration of his leave. Meanwhile Father Drake, whose plans for departure in October were made before Mr. Badcock went to England, has left, taking with him Brother Hugh Pearson-an irreparable loss. Thus the history of the Society of the Sacred Mission in this Diocese has, I greatly regret, come to an end, and for no other reason than that it has been impossible for me to retain these two valuable and zealous missionaries on the conditions imposed by the S.S.M
-Kangwha-our largest parish-is, accordingly, deserted, and the church closed to all but lay ministrations. Of all our four parishes only one-On Sou Tong-is in its normal condition, and even there I have had to take Mr. Laws away from his growing and valuable work in the dispensary, to put him in charge of the S.P.G. properties in Kangwha City, and to give there what help he can, as lay reader, to the Christians, catechumens and enquirers-of the latter of whom, Father Drake tells me, some fifty have recently been brought in by the Christians, who seem to have caught his own missionary zeal.

-With Brother Hugh's departure the printing press will have to stop work-notwithstanding that another instalment of the Old Testament has long been ready-for it is not to be supposed that Mr. Laws will have time for much activity in that direction. So our people must wait longer before they can hear of the Passover and the deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

 At Chemulpó Mr. Gurney is in charge. I am alone in Seoul.
-It is thus just possible to provide a European caretaker of S.P.G. property in each of our four stations : but, as I said, On Sou Tong is the only one of our parishes which now has a Corean-speaking priest. Mr. Laws, who is very fluent, will do what he can in the city, and that will always be worth much. The work, both in Chemulpó and here, however, is suffering much from the need of someone who can talk to these people and really shepherd them. One of our oldest, most useful, and most respected Christians died a fortnight ago in Seoul. I was unable to give him any consolation in his last moments.

-My own incompetence weighs heavily on me, as you will have heard, and I grieve that I can neither find ministers for these parishes nor minister to them myself. The sad part of the matter (for us in Corea) is that all our Chinese scholars and all our best Corean speakers have left us, having accepted "calls" elsewhere. It is certainly an honor for Corea to have trained clergy and laymen who, after years of devoted service here, have gone to give the Church just as devoted a service in other dioceses. But on our poor people this honor lies very heavily. They are simple and ignorant folk, who, as they see man after man withdrawing in the midst of their work, cannot but suppose that the Mission is to become extinct. Their reproachful looks are not lost on me, whom they regard (and rightly) as in some way responsible for depriving them of their most valuable men, good scholars and devoted missionaries. Nor is it possible for me to explain to them that my share of responsibility of all that has happened in the Diocese extends over fifteen years, nor to make them understand that Father Drake and Brother Hugh, whom I long to keep here, are people on whom the S.S.M. has higher- I will not say prior -claims. Our professions of lifelong service in this country have been before them now for so many years that they are quite unable to understand such subtleties. And the fact that many of our best friends in England share this inability does not make it easier for us who would fain justify on the highest grounds such departures from this Mission as, e.g., those of the S.S.M., Dr. Peake and Mr. Trollope, all of whom were not only our best men, but were thought to be devoted to Corea for life, as Corea certainly was devoted to them.

-There is one bright lining to this cloud -the offer by the Archbishop of Canterbury of the Bishopric to Mr. Turner, and his acceptance of it. He too has left us for England this month, but will return, I trust, before Easter to assume a burden which we pray his comparative youth, his knowledge of Corean and Chinese, his greater knowledge of the people of every class, and his unvarying sympathy will enable him to bear for many years. The delight of the Coreans at his appointment is great and universal. They have come to look at me as a somewhat antiquated "figure-head.” In him they have long recognised a man who not only loves them but who knows how to steer.

 I hope, therefore, that you will all approve of the step I have taken in resigning. At the rate at which we have been going on for the last three years there would soon have been nothing left to resign. The step which the Archbishop has been led to take-in answer, doubtless, to all our prayers - cannot but be of the greatest benefit to Corea, whose welfare, after all, is what you and I have had most at heart ever since we “discovered" Corea some fifteen years ago.
-During the month we have had a very helpful visit from the Rev. C. Graham Gardner - a priest of the Osaka Diocese-who, living at Shimonoseki (and so the nearest of our neighbors), found himself able to accept an invitation, with the consent of Bishop Foss, to visit our Japanese Christians, who have had no clergyman to minister to them in their own language since Mr. Steenbuch left the Mission last Easter. I have not yet received his full report, but he worked hard, and the Japanese much enjoyed his visit. He made the acquaintance of them all in Fusan, Chemulpó, and Seoul, and demonstrated more clearly than ever how great is the need we have of a Japanese speaking priest for the preservation of Church life in Corea-to say nothing of the greater need of such a man, of men, in view of what is now being done by the Japanese in this country. We are very grateful to Mr. Gardner, whose sympathy and ready activity quickly endeared him to us all.

-By closing our churches in Seoul I was able to spend a part of the Patronal Festival at Chemulpó on St. Michael's Day. Mr. Gurney had prepared a long list of services for Coreans, Japanese, and English. I could only take part in the first Evensong, and at 6.30 on the following morning the Holy Eucharist, which was preceded by a Corean Confirmation. I never before confirmed and communicated anyone with a baby tied on to her back! Whilst we were thus engaged in Chemulpó the husband of this poor woman was, unknown to us, dying in Seoul-the Christian referred to above.

 This letter should appear in the February number of Morning Calm-perhaps not too late for me to ask you to pray very earnestly for the Bishop-elect. It rejoices me to think that for fifteen years we have had so large a body of people, young and old, rich and poor, who have been trained to pray daily for Corea-whatever its needs happened to be—and who will now pray for us more earnestly than ever.
 I am yours gratefully and affectionately,
