 ===St. Luke's hospital, Chemulpo.===
-EVER since the first arrival of the English Church Mission in Corea an especial effort has been made to meet the needs of the Coreans, in the matter of physical healing, in the hope that such work would bring its own reward in leading the people of the country to a knowledge of their need of a greater Physician, and in breaking down somewhat the barrier of prejudice which must exist between people of the East and West. At first the work was begun in Seoul by Dr. Wiles, who gave his services to the Mission for two years. Then Dr. Baldock followed him, and for over ten years devoted himself to the work in Seoul, while first Miss Cooke, and then Miss Allen, who later married Dr. Baldock, took charge of a hospital for the women in the same place. At the same time Dr. Landis began work in Chemulpó, and he was followed by Dr. Carden and Dr. Peake. At the end of 1903 it was felt that it was necessary, owing to lack of funds to carry on all the work, to make some rearrangement, and seeing that there was more need for the hospital in Chemulpó than in Seoul, especially after the erection of the new Severance Hospital, with its excellent accommodation and experienced staff, it was decided to put the buildings at Chemulpó into as good order as possible and throw all the available power into the work there. It has been possible to do this through the generosity of some friends of the Mission in Corea, among whom the late Bishop was the chief subscriber, and also to a still larger extent through the continued support given by Bishop Corfe's old friends in the Navy, who have from the beginning helped the hospital work with yearly subscriptions amounting to between 3,000 and 4,000 yen. The following account of the opening ceremony has been sent us by a friend who was present :-

 Monday, the 12th inst., witnessed the formal opening of the English Church Mission Hospital in Chemulpó. The wards were opened for patients some little time ago, and work has been going on steadily since Dr. and Mrs. Weir came, but the whole building has only lately been completed.
 A very representative gathering assembled to witness the opening. Hospital work—perhaps because in it the Divine and Human most closely meet—is always near the heart of all people of whatsoever race or creed. But, be that as it may, one could not fail to admire the generosity of appreciation display the many friends who met on Monday last to give their good wishes for the success of the work.

 The following accounts, which were originally intended to be printed in the form of an annual report, have been unavoidably delayed owing to the difficulty of communicating with the Bishop when on his return voyage to Corea. It was hoped to be able to print with them a report from the Bishop him-self ; but as this has not been possible, it has been decided to include them in the October issue of Morning Calm in the hope that they will thus meet the eyes of the members of the various associations who usually receive the Annual Report.
 ===The Spirit of missions.===
 "THE first report of the new Missionary Society, started by the Tinnevelly Church, relates the dismissal of its first mis-sionary, who has gone to the Mohammedan State of Hydera-bad, and is learning a new language (Telegu) in which to preach the Gospel. A fine hall for meetings, holding 3,000 people, has been built at Palamcotta by the Tamil Christians in commemoration of the C.M.S. Centenary. A still happier memorial is the increased spiritual life of the Madras congre-gations. Bishop Whitehead told their Tamil pastor that the Church in Madras stands for two principles--self-help and the priesthood of the laity. His own journal of his visitation of the Telegu Mission presents a striking picture of an expanding work, and concludes by saying that the tour had given abun-dant reason to ‘thank God and take courage.' Illustrations occur in the reports of the estimation in which leading Chris-tian laymen are held. . . . A Sikh farmer in the Punjaub remarked that while ninety-nine out of every hundred non-Christian officials were takers of bribes, the proportion of Christian native judges was just the reverse. Such a remark justifies the new Punjaub Church Council just started, in which, on an entirely new plan, Indians are now combined with Englishmen in the administration of the Mission."-(C.M. Report.)

 MY DEAR CHILDREN,
 This is a picture of the Kangwha schoolboys, which was taken not long ago. I am afraid I cannot tell you all their names, but the one on the right in the front row is Alick. He was an orphan, and, when quite a little mite, was picked up in the streets of Seoul and taken to the Orphanage. When he was old enough he went to the school in Kangwha, and I remember when he first went to school how kind the big boys were to him and the other little ones, and how they carried them to church on their backs, because the walk was rather long for them, and there was a steep hill to go up.

 I am very glad we have five new members, whose names are given at the end of this letter, and then just below you will see the names of those who have sent money for the Children's Fund. I want the King's Messengers at Harvington, who often give their money in church for the Corean children, to know what a help those pennies are. I am very pleased, Theodore, to have that 3d. for the little Corean children who are ill, and you will like to know, Mary, that I was able to sell the little black and white bag for one shilling and sixpence, so that you did splendidly altogether by your sale.
 Good-bye, dear children

 THE issue of Morning Calm in October instead of November, as formerly, makes it possible to give-members and friends of the Mission a longer notice of the two events peculiarly associated with the S.P.F.M.A.-i.e., first the Corean stall at the Bazaar to be held at Kensington Town Hall on November 29 and 30, for which contributions will be welcome and should be sent to the Secretary, St. Peter's Home, by November 15, plainly marked "For Corean Stall."
 The Misses Trollope have kindly undertaken the manage-ment of the stall and the sale of curios, as in former years, with the help of Mrs. Robertson-Macdonald, and it is hoped that all members will come to the Bazaar and bring friends.
 The second date to be remembered is that of the Day of Intercession and Thanksgiving for Foreign Missions, which will be held at St. Peter's Home on Tuesday, December 5. Preachers and speakers will be announced later, but the Rev.
 F. R. Hillary promises to be present, and the prospect of hear-ing details of the work at Kangwha, On Sou Tong, and in two new centres ought to ensure a large attendance.
 The Secretary gratefully acknowledges several kind gifts to the Mission, and a large consignment of garments, bed linen, and other needlework sent by Miss Newman, also from the Guild of St. Catherine, all of which will be sent out with Lay Sister Barbara, whose passage is taken on s.s. Prins Heinrich, to start on October 17.

We left here on Tuesday morning, May 23, after offering the Holy Eucharist, with the intention of asking God's blessing on our journey, and expected to return on Saturday morning.
 We visited four islands, but were delayed by a tempest on the last, and obliged to remain there two days, reaching home on Rogation Sunday at I P.M.
-The Christians here are not, however, afraid of taking their part in the absence of priest and catechist, and I was glad to hear on my return that Saturday Evensong, Sunday Mattins, Boys' Service, and adult Catechumen's Service had taken place as usual ; they will have their Eucharist to-morrow (Ascension Day). I think God has certainly blessed our tour. We had fair wind and tide always, except just at the end, when our work was practically finished : our missioners proved earnest and capable. The outdoor lantern lectures given in each island were largely attended, and our speakers were bold and enthu-astic in the good cause ; the old lady was most diligent amongst the women, and the two lads behaved very well indeed throughout. It was not only by the lectures that we tried to teach the people, but also by the personal influence of the cate-chists, who talked about the doctrine all day in various houses and places, and even far into the night discussions were often prolonged.

 Then there was Mr. Laws-his greeting of old patients, his conversation, his long pipe, and his medicine case! I am sure Mr. Hillary will be the first to tell you how largely the extensive organisation he has built up here has been made possible only by the steady, honest work of this beloved physician. Mr. Laws, whose missionary zeal is boundless-his particular business being to commend the Doctrine by his healing of the sick, as well as by his word and good example.

 We are only trying to keep things growing during Mr. Hillary's holiday.
-Besides the five islands referred to, there are many more-perhaps hundreds-off this coast as yet quite untouched by any missionary effort. They all contain one or more fishing villages, the population of those we visited averaging about seven or eight hundred. The islands are all mountainous and small, so that in some cases the people cannot grow all their own rice and tobacco, &c., as is almost invariably the case in Kangwha. Though there is much that is encouraging in the prospect of the propagation of the Gospel among these islanders, we must not forget that they are for the most part grossly ignorant, drunken, filthy, and (in a word) without God in the world.

However, I hope I was not an unobservant spec-tator, and ought certainly to have learned something of Corean manners and customs from this excellent opportunity of gain-ing experience.

 Everything was comfortably arranged throughout by Me Laws, and the journey was quite innocent of any real "mis-sionary hardships."

From the flowers, many and various, bees of several denominations were busily employed in gathering honey all the day--(I can't say what they do with it all the night, but I have my suspicions--the greedy little things!). Mr. Laws, a man of many parts is no mean performer on the comet. He caused much pleasure and astonishment by his exercises in this art: the resounding tone and golden colouring of the instrument being only rivalled by the yellowish persons and melodious booming of the hornets. These creatures (though of ferocious visage and with most uncharitable expression of countenance) are harmless enough if only one can summon sufficient fortitude to abide by the axiom, "let ill alone." The temptation is to “have at them” with a walking-stick as they hurtle through space or seat them-selves unpleasantly close at hand with a "now I've got you" kind of sinister look in their spiteful and poisonous faces.
 The Corean boat we engaged for the tour did her duty by us nobly. We had only one boatman, who worked away merrily in the stern with his huge two-handed fixed oar, and when a breeze sprang up we hoisted sail and rippled along at a capital rate.
 Please regard this good journey and (so far) successful enterprise as an answer to your prayers. I need hardly add that we intend to repeat it.
 Yours sincerely,
 WILFRID N. GURNEY.

 On Monday Mr. Bridle went back to look after his own establishment at Chemulpó, and I was left to get on with my Work as best I could alone. But before he went we had a good long talk, and I should like to tell you one of two of the Subjects we discussed. There were sad things and encouraging wings too. The sad things were <span style="color:red">the lapse into sin of a serious nature on the part of two of our Christians in Seoul</span>. I will Not go into details, but I will ask you to pray for them that they may really repent and be led to use the discipline they have received as a means whereby they may be led to better things in the future. I was especially sorry about these two men, as I had hoped to be able to use them for teaching others. This is, of course, impossible at present, and even after they have been restored to communion, from which they have been excluded for some months, they will not be able to take the part they might have if they had not fallen into sin. Another sad thing was the condition of Church matters in Chemulpó. You have heard frequently of the difficulties of work in a treaty port, and of Chemulpó in particular, perhaps. There is only <span style="color:red">one communicant of our own Church</span> in the place among the foreigners (and she has been in Japan for some weeks), and the number of attendants at the services outside our own staff is very small. Those of our brethren who have their full church services at home perhaps hardly realise <span style="color:red">how hard it is going on Sunday after Sunday with a congregation of, at the outside, some six people. Then the Corean work, too, is very hard to get at, if I may use the expression. The residents are to a large extent attracted by the high wages, and come in from the country very often without their families, and the result is a very bad condition of things morally</span>, with temptations surrounding them on all sides. I shall probably have more to say about Chemulpó later, so will leave that subject for this letter at any rate.
-In Seoul during my first few days I took naturally the opportunity of seeing Sister Nora, and I was very glad to find her better than when I went away. She and Sister Isabel are the only Sisters up here now, and, as usual, Sister Nora is busy directing things, while Sister Isabel is responsible for the work among the women. Of Sister Isabel's work I can hardly speak in detail, the difficulty is to say what she has not to do-directress of the laundry, sacristan, choir trainer, teacher, &c. And of all her duties I should think the training of the choir, so called, must be the most trying, for the boys have very little idea of what is wanted, but still I must say that what they can do now is a great improvement on what they could before I went home, so there are hopes of better things in the future. One place I visited as soon as I could, and that was the Orphanage, which is under the care of Miss Pooley during the absence of Sister Barbara on furlough. It is, as you know, very depressing work, of which I hope we may have a fuller account given us by another pen some day in the future ; but still I always find that whoever is in charge there meets one with a smile and seems to be following the traditional example of Mark Tapley, and saying that there is no credit in being cheer-ful under these circumstances, but I think there is a great deal of credit, and we owe Sister Barbara a big debt of gratitude for what she has done in the past, and now to Miss Pooley for what she is doing so heartily and well.

 I must not stay to write too much about Seoul, for if I do I shall never get to Kangwha, and I know you will be as anxious to hear something of that place as I was to get there. I knew that they were very desirous of my presence for Con-firmations, but I could not go down for that purpose then, and determined to pay them a short surprise visit for a day at each station just to see how they all were, and go down later for a longer stay.
-I stopped at Chemulpó for one night to see Dr. Weir and Miss Jephson, whom I had seen for a few minutes in London two days after my consecration. I found them all well and very busy, but of them and the Hospital I will say nothing, as you will, I think, find Dr. Weir's report on another page, and it would take too long to say all I should like to say now. I took a boat next morning from the bund, and it seemed very natural to be sailing up the river as we call it, though it is not a river at all, but at long arm of the sea, very narrow, and with a tremendous tide running up and down which it is impossible to go against. I found Mr. Badcock very busy with translation work and teaching work, and the general oversight of all that is going on in the city and immediate neighbourhood, with the help of the Sisters. It seemed sad and strange not to receive the old friendly greeting from Brother Pearson, and it seemed a long way to carry one's thoughts to Kelham and think of him at work there, but we do not forget him or he us, and I had many inquiries after him and Mr. Drake, and, especially from the older members of the church, after Mr. Trollope, or Cho Sinpoo, his name out here. Sister Rosalie was in charge, as before, of the Sisters' house, and I found Sister Alma with her. Sister Margaretta was away at On Sou Tong, on a visit of com-bined duty and pleasure, for we had been having a visit from two ladies from Japan, one of whom, Miss Ballard, has been working there for the S.P.G. for many years, and they had all started that morning to see something of the south of the island. There is always so much to be seen to in all our houses which the Sister-in-Charge or the Priest-in-Charge has to see to for him or herself, that Sister Rosalie never has much time spare, and Sister Alma goes out on long walks to see the women in the outlying villages, which takes up nearly all her time and is a work of very great importance, for so only can we get to know the true condition of things in our Christian homes and how far they are living up to their profession, and also in this way alone can the necessary instruction be given to those women who find it hard to come for regular teaching. what with the care of the children and the housework and the work in the fields, a fair share of which always falls on the broad shoulders of the women of the family.

Now I can only say a tithe of what is in my mind. Being alone up here I have to go where I want to when I can, so a fortnight later I asked Mr. Bridle to come up to Seoul and Mr. Weir to take all the services that he could at Chemulpó, and started for a week in Kangwha. I landed on Friday night at Tokjin, the port for On Sou Tong, and had a very wet walk up to the house. I found Mr. Gurney and Mr. Laws on the look out for me, but had to wait till next morning for my luggage, and was fitted out for the night by the latter. On Saturday we spent the morning receiving visitors and preparing for the afternoon, which was to be devoted to dedicating the new chapel which had been built in the village of Ankol, where Mark Kim, our catechist and first adult Christian, has been working for some time. We got over there, about a two hours’ walk, by 2.30, and were met on the road by a large company of Christians and catechumens, being followed by a porter or jiggykoon with the books and vestments on his back. Sisters Nora and Margaretta had travelled down from the city to be present, so we had five English people, and I was only sorry that those who are to so great an extent responsible for the work there, Bishop Corfe and Mr. and Mrs. Hillary, could none of them be there too. The service went off very nicely, the Coreans, as always, behaving most reverently, and the only disturbance, which was very small, was caused by a few boys, whom one could not blame for their curiosity and for looking in through the windows. After a hasty cup of tea the others set off for On Sou Tong, to be there for the Sunday services, while I stayed at Ankol with Mark Kim, at whose house we have a priest's chamber, to take part in the preparation service for the Holy Communion and to celebrate next morning. We had six communicants, and after breakfast I started to walk back to On Sou Tong for the Confirmation in the afternoon. Of this and the further Confirmation in the city on the Thursday

 MY DEAR FRIENDS,
 Now I must write you a letter in which I shall say something about the work in Corea itself, and what I found here when I got back actually to Seoul. I hardly know where to begin, and I am sure that I shall not know where to end, there seems to be so very much to say, and I only hope that I shall be able to make it as interesting to you as it is of the deepest interest to me. As I told you in my last letter, I was only too glad to get home and to meet my friends here, my only sorrow being that my arrival meant Bishop Corfe's departure. It was with a sad heart that I saw him off from the Seoul station on the Saturday morning, and thought as I went back alone that I was now indeed about to take up the burden he had borne so long, and I could only pray to God that He would grant to me the same whole-hearted devotion to the work of the Church of Christ as our late Bishop had always shown, and be as ready in all things to follow where God's Spirit leads even though at times the way be hard to see and the road be no easy one to travel along.
 However, Bishop Corfe does not, I am sure, want me to write about him, and to you it is unnecessary, for you know him, many of you, as well as or better than I do, nor is it well to let one's mind linger too long on the difficulties that lie ahead. They will force themselves on one's attention soon enough without that, and then while I felt sadly the loss of one friend, I knew also that I had many left and that they would be ready to give me all the help that they could. So I thought the best thing I could do would be to go and see them as soon as possible. Mr. Bridle, who is stationed at Chemulpó, was with me to help me through the first Sunday in Seoul, so that I had not far to go to seek him, and he very kindly took off my hands most of the necessary preparations for the services next day, and I was able to do a little towards getting straight in the house, but I am still in rather a state of confusion and I hope for his sake no one will have to take over the place from me for a few weeks more at any rate. We had a very nice first Sunday. I celebrated for the Coreans, and Mr. Bridle for the Europeans, and at both services we had some special prayers for myself, which he read. I preached at the midday service, and left Mr. Bridle to take the Corean afternoon service, which he could do so much more efficiently than I could.
-On Monday Mr. Bridle went back to look after his own establishment at Chemulpó, and I was left to get on with my Work as best I could alone. But before he went we had a good long talk, and I should like to tell you one of two of the Subjects we discussed. There were sad things and encouraging wings too. The sad things were the lapse into sin of a serious nature on the part of two of our Christians in Seoul. I will Not go into details, but I will ask you to pray for them that they may really repent and be led to use the discipline they have received as a means whereby they may be led to better things in the future. I was especially sorry about these two men, as I had hoped to be able to use them for teaching others. This is, of course, impossible at present, and even after they have been restored to communion, from which they have been excluded for some months, they will not be able to take the part they might have if they had not fallen into sin. Another sad thing was the condition of Church matters in Chemulpó. You have heard frequently of the difficulties of work in a treaty port, and of Chemulpó in particular, perhaps. There is only one communicant of our own Church in the place among the foreigners (and she has been in Japan for some weeks), and the number of attendants at the services outside our own staff is very small. Those of our brethren who have their full church services at home perhaps hardly realise how hard it is going on Sunday after Sunday with a congregation of, at the outside, some six people. Then the Corean work, too, is very hard to get at, if I may use the expression. The residents are to a large extent attracted by the high wages, and come in from the country very often without their families, and the result is a very bad condition of things morally, with temptations surrounding them on all sides. I shall probably have more to say about Chemulpó later, so will leave that subject for this letter at any rate

 In Seoul during my first few days I took naturally the opportunity of seeing Sister Nora, and I was very glad to find her better than when I went away. She and Sister Isabel are the only Sisters up here now, and, as usual, Sister Nora is busy directing things, while Sister Isabel is responsible for the work among the women. Of Sister Isabel's work I can hardly speak in detail, the difficulty is to say what she has not to do-directress of the laundry, sacristan, choir trainer, teacher, &c. And of all her duties I should think the training of the choir, so called, must be the most trying, for the boys have very little idea of what is wanted, but still I must say that what they can do now is a great improvement on what they could before I went home, so there are hopes of better things in the future. One place I visited as soon as I could, and that was the Orphanage, which is under the care of Miss Pooley during the absence of Sister Barbara on furlough. It is, as you know, very depressing work, of which I hope we may have a fuller account given us by another pen some day in the future ; but still I always find that whoever is in charge there meets one with a smile and seems to be following the traditional example of Mark Tapley, and saying that there is no credit in being cheer-ful under these circumstances, but I think there is a great deal of credit, and we owe Sister Barbara a big debt of gratitude for what she has done in the past, and now to Miss Pooley for what she is doing so heartily and well.

 MY DEAR FRIENDS,
-My last letter was, I think, from the friendly house of St. Andrew's Mission, in Tokyo. Many of you already know about the work our Church is doing in Japan, but not many know as much as you ought to, I am afraid. I should like to say a good deal about it, but I am afraid that the Editor might say, " This is not to the point." And yet I do not think he would, for the work in Japan will be, and already is, of great importance to us, and I am very glad that I was enabled, by the kindness of our friends there and of Bishop Corfe here, who delayed his departure to China for some days on purpose, to stay for the Synod of the Sei Ko Kwai, which will always be a happy memory in spite of my ignorance of the language, because of the kindness I received from all alike, Japanese and foreigners. I hope that you will see elsewhere an account of what was done there.

 I met our old friend, Mr. Smart, there, and had a short talk with him, and soon saw that Corea will always have a warm corner in his heart, and then in passing through Kobe, I was very pleased to see Mr. Steenbuch, who is working in Awaji Island, opposite to Kobe, and had come over in soaking rain to see me. I was glad to hear that they are both of them well and happy. They have taken a little boy, whose father, an old Bluejacket, died in Chemulpó some years ago, leaving Mr. Trollope and myself as the boy's trustees. It is a great relief to think that he has so good a home, where he will be brought up in the love and fear of God.
 One more friend I saw before I reached Corea, and that was Mr. Gardner, who is living at Shimonoseki, and has more than once visited our Christians in Fusan, and Corea generally, when there was no one to help them. I wish I could say more about these friends of ours whom I met everywhere on my way out. and tell you something of their difficulties and needs, for they are your friends as well as mine, and require your prayers and sympathy every bit as much as we do, and that is saying a great deal.
 Corea at last, and I was glad to see it, not only because I was longing to get home, but for more prosaic reasons, which any one who has travelled second class on a Japanese steamer will realise, especially in wet weather. We always get a warm welcome from the Customs officials, and Mr. Pegorini is no exception to the rule. I arrived in the morning, and spent most of the day with our Japanese Christians. Although con-versation was not easy, as none of them know much English and I know no Japanese, yet one of them speaks Corean well, and I was able through that medium to get through some of the business I wanted to do. I am very anxious about the Japanese work in the country, as you know, and Fusan is the most important place in certain ways, for it is entirely Japanese, and our Christians there are resident people who do not move away much, whereas those in Seoul and Chernulpó are more of the official class, and are liable to move on at any time. I feel that we ought to try and do more for them than we have been able to do in the past. They are very anxious for a resident priest, or at least a catechist, and when Mr. Cartwright comes, of whom I wrote in my last letter, I hope some arrangement may be made. Then, too, we ought to help them to provide a church, for the present arrangement, by which we pay part of the rent of the house in which the reader, Mr. Hayashi (who is responsible for the services) lives, in return for which we have the use of one of the upper rooms for service-is expensive and not altogether satisfactory in other ways. We Ought to get enough land to be able to build a small church and a Japanese house for a resident pastor, who, I think, should if possible be a Japanese. There is, I am sure, a great scope for work if we can only get the right man, for the people in Fusan away from the difficulties of their old home associa-tions are ready to receive Christian instruction in a way that makes one most hopeful. I am writing to the Society about it, and hope that they will be able to give us and them some help, but I want them to do their share, and they are quite prepared to do something towards the payment of a catechist, but they are not numerous or rich enough to do it all. However, as Mr. Cartwright is coming over so soon I am leaving any definite settlement till he comes From Fusan I went up to Seoul by the new railway, and with books and conversation with an American missionary, who came aboard halfway, and looking at the making of the line and the scenery, the time passed quickly, till I met Bishop Corfe, who had come part of the way to meet me. After that it seemed no time before we reached Seoul, hearing all the news of the Mission, reading letters, and talking over the accounts, &c
-I was glad, indeed, to have this opportunity of talking things over, for he was very anxious to go on at once to China. We got up to Seoul at 10 P.M., a fourteen hours' journey, and it was very pleasant to see a group of old friends on the plat-form, English and Corean, and to receive such a hearty welcome.

-Next morning I saw Bishop Corfe off to the station, for he had heard that there was a steamer on the point of departure, but luckily he was able to stay over the Sunday and take the services there once more, for Mr. Bridle had come up to Seoul to help me through the difficulties of my first Sunday. I was glad of his help, for Sunday is always a heavy day when one is alone in Seoul, and it enabled us to have full services for the Corean and English congregations.

 Well, having brought myself in these letters as far as Corea, I will leave any remarks about the work and Mission affairs generally till I have been here a little longer, and can write more fully and in detail. I will only add one word. Now I am here and beginning my work, I feel more than I could before the difficulty and responsibility of what I have under-taken. I ask you again earnestly not to forget in your prayers for the Mission one who needs them more than any-one else.
