 He tells me that little children who are ill in Corea generally have to suffer a good deal. Very often they are left to themselves on the floor while mother has to go out working in the fields, and the little one is left in charge of an older sister, who perhaps says, "Why don't you die!"
-In England you know that during illness nurses always keep sick children perfectly clean, and so make them much more comfortable. in Corea they do not wash them during an illness, and sick boys and girls look very grubby indeed. Sometimes they are even left eight months without having their faces washed. This was not the case, however, with the little boy whom you see in the picture resting in his father's arms; but his was a very sad story. The servants had left a large cup of caustic soda and water (which is used for bleaching the linen clothes worn in Corea) on the floor of the living room, and this little 4-year old boy drank the strong stuff thinking it was water. He was dreadfully burnt inside his mouth and throat, so that he could not swallow food. His rich grandfather sent a boat specially to ask the Mission doctor to come over and "give life" to the child. The doctor went to the island where this little boy lived in a large tile-roofed house, and the picture you see was taken then of the child, his father, and two uncles. I am sorry to say that later on the little boy died, as the parents would not bring him to the doctor's house to be nursed properly, and they would not send for any more con-densed milk, so the child could not live on rice water alone. I don't think I have ever told you that cows in Corea are not used for milking ; they hardly give enough milk to feed the calf, and besides that, Coreans say that milk has a horrible taste. If any of you were ill your parents would take a great deal of trouble in carrying out the doctor's instructions so that you might soon be well again. Corean fathers and mothers very often do nothing at all, because they say the child is sure to die. Others expect the foreign medicines to work miracles, and think that the more medicine the child takes the quicker it will recover, and so they overdose the sick child. But if the doctor has any idea of this, he only gives medicine for one day at a time.

 When you pray for the missionaries in Corea will you remember the doctors and nurses, and ask God to bless their work?
 In my last letter I spoke of the Sale that some of you were hoping to have at Beckenham. I was delighted when I heard how well you had done; over £14 was a splendid sum to make, and it is very nice to have £5 for the Orphanage Fund. I know you will all be glad that we have six new members at New Brighton, and that one more has been added to the Norwood Branch.
 Each one who joins the Association may, by faithful membership, be a very real help to us all, as well as to those for whom we promise to pray daily.
 I am,
 Always your affectionate friend,
 MAUD I. FALWASSER.

 ===The Spirit of Missions.===
 WHAT is the work of Missions ? . . . Is there a better, a more comprehensive and more satisfactory way of regarding missionary work than this, that missionary work is bringing the world to our Lord Jesus Christ? You and I, who believe in the living Christ Who rose from the dead, who know by personal experience His Power and His Love, who know that that loving heart of His is open to impress the whole wide world, and that He looks to us to go forth with that message of love, and to be His witnesses to the world's end ; how can we, if we have really known Christ, and believed in Him, and felt His Love, stand back or hang back from the work of bringing the world to Christ? It is impossible."- (Speech of Bishop of Manchester.)

 The Bishop bids me send you some account of the Conference held in Seoul on June 13 and 14.
 Tuesday, June 12, was observed as a "Quiet Day," during which his lordship gave us three very helpful addresses in the Church of the Advent.
 We only had three sittings, but they were good long ones, and tiffin twice waxed cold before that part of the business could be attended to !
 We were all present with the exception of Mr. Hillary, who was detained by sickness---from which, I am happy to say, he has since recovered--at his island home,
 His absence made a large gap in our diminutive circle. Mr. Cartwright, too, was away, but the Japanese work was vigorously championed by Mr. Mockridge (on the eve of his deeply regretted departure owing to continued ill-health), and Dr. Weir represented the laity. Mr. Laws being now on furlough.
 The Bishop made a very happy President, and everything was done with the utmost of good cheer and charity.
 One of the most important pieces of business I must relate to you in full ; I quote the official minutes of the Conference: --
 "The questions asked by the Committee for the proposed
 Missionary Conference in London in 1908 were then discussed, and it was agreed to send the following answers to the Committee:
 “1. What are the problems of supreme importance in our own part of the world to which the Church should address itself without delay?
 "Answer.—1. The work among Japanese and their Colonists in China and Corea; especially in the latter country, in view of their political ascendency and the national antagonism.
 "2. The preparation of native (i.e. Corean) Clergy and Catechists, and for this purpose the foundation of a training school and the supply of a qualified man to take charge.
 “3. The supply of more missionaries.
 "4. The unitication of the Anglican Church in China.
 "II. What are the problems of supreme importance, else-where than in Corea and the neighbouring countries, to which we should desire to call the attention of the whole Church?
 "Answer—The development everywhere of independent National Churches with full power to adapt themselves to their environment—e.g. Is one Prayer Book possible for all ?
 “III. What, in our opinion, is it the duty of the whole Anglican Communion, acting together as one body, to do at this time in order to make some supremely important advance in the fulfilment of our responsibilities towards our own people, towards all Christendom, and towards the whole world?
 “Answer.—That the Church should take corporate respon-sibility for all Home and Mission work.
 "That she should put clearly before all her people their vocation, and help them to respond to it."
 Our difficulty was not to find but to select (out of our many needs) the answers to these questions.
 The Conference agreed to the Bishop's resolution approving of the suggested Mission of Help to the foreigners resident in the Far East. Chemulpo and Seoul are the only places of importance for this purpose in Corea.
 Then we appointed a committee of the bishop and all the priests, except myself, to revise the present edition of the Corean Prayer Book. This is no small matter, as every sentence has to be carefully examined.
 We have to aim at a form of language neither too classical to be "Greek" to the ignorant nor too colloquial to be despised by the educated.
-We badly want an improvement on our present Hymn Book, and next year we hope to produce a standard edition (at present we have several in use) more portable than the present immense volume.
+<span style="color:blue">We have to aim at a form of language neither too classical to be "Greek" to the ignorant nor too colloquial to be despised by the educated.
 Dr. Weir agreed to draw up a report on the work at St. Luke's Hospital, Chemulpo, to be forwarded to the Committee of the H.N.F. and printed and circulated by them if they shall think fit to do so.
 A financial committee was appointed, and one meeting has already been holden.
 Some other arrangements were made, including those for a Conference and Retreat at Kangwha City in the autumn, and a meeting for instruction of catechists and others about the same time.
 In regard to the Japanese work, let me quote the minute book again: --
 "The Rev. W. H. Mockridge spoke of the overwhelming importance of the Japanese work in Corea ; and in answer to some criticism of their conduct in this country, 'the worse,' he said, 'the Japanese, the more pressing is the importance of the work.' He insisted strongly on the need for absolute unity in the Church in Corea, and added that the Corean and Japanese Churchmen should use the same name for the Divine Society. He emphasised the necessity for making Seoul the great centre of all the work amongst the Japanese, the distribution of forces coming second in the programme.
 "He spoke, too, of the crying need for women workers, and expressed a hope that the Bishop would succeed in securing the service of a foreign lady-director for the work in Seoul.
 "The Bishop fully endorsed Mr. Mockridge's remarks.”
 In his closing speech his lordship spoke of the great loss to our active work here involved in the death of Sister Alma, C.S.P.
 On the last afternoon (Thursday), Mr. and Mrs. Cockburn gave a garden party at H.B.M. Consulate, to enable the several members of the Mission who were temporarily assembled in Seoul to meet some of their old and new friends amongst the foreigners
 The next day we were scattered again, each to his business, after a useful and very enjoyable little three days' meeting, during which we worshipped, debated and agreed together as brethren, making merry on the Bishop's hospitality at the social board and festive cheroot box.
 Yours sincerely,
 WILFRID N. GURNEY.

 "Ask and ye shall receive" is our Lord's own word; I think it may be extended to mean, in the case of missionaries, "Let your friends at home know exactly what you really do want them to do : pray for an answer to your requests, and God Himself will move the hearts of them to offer what is asked for."
 I asked for a lantern and slides in the April number-both have been promised me. I cannot tell you from whom the gifts come, except that they come from God (through human agents), but the givers are among the chief of those who love God and the Coreans--for His sake.
-Now I am going to ask you for something which will “make you tired." It is the old cry, "More men." Will you ask God zealously to put it into the hearts of several young clergy to offer themselves for service in Corea ? Things are getting desperate out here. The English Church Mission is cramped and ham-pered by the pitiful supply of workers in this huge field. Oppor-tunities are crying aloud in all directions. The Bishop is single-handed, and has the oversight of Seoul and Chemulpo and four or five outlying districts in addition to his episcopal work. We are the most insignificant mission in Corea—in staff and converts at any rate. There are vast districts yet to be conquered for Christ; no happier or more hopeful place to work in could be found on earth.

 We are at peace among ourselves. We have no educational question or ritual controversies (thanks be to God !). Our whole time and attention can be given to evangelical work.
 The climate is splendid, and makes one think of England with a shudder!

 There are so many things that I feel I ought to write to you about that it is always somewhat difficult to know what to choose, but I do not think that I have said much to you lately of the several Mission stations and the work that is going on there, or of the workers.
-I have been lately visiting all our stations and so have the work there more clearly on my mind even than usual. Chemulpo I often visit, at least once a month and often as frequently as once a week, but there the work till lately has been chiefly that connected with the Hospital, and of that Dr. Weir has given you an account each quarter. However, within the last few weeks there has been opening out some prospect of more work there, not so much in the town itself as in the villages round. How far we shall be able with our limited staff to take advantage of these chances it is difficult to say at present, but they are typical of what is going on all over the country. I have before told you that in many places there are people professing anxiety to learn the Doctrine and join the Church, though often one feels doubtful how much this arises from real desire for instruction and how much from a wish to receive help and pro-tection from the Japanese or from their own officials. But, as I have also said before, we cannot drive them away and refuse to give them teaching if they say they wish to learn, unless it is really impossible to do anything for them. There may never come such an opportunity again. At the same time we have to be careful not to take up work we cannot do lest we injure our own cause and, as is possible, our people too. In the Hospital I think things are on the whole satisfactory and there are plenty of patients. Our difficulty there is to keep the number within the power of our purse. But of financial matters I hope to write more next quarter. This summer Mr. Gurney has been helping me at Chemulpo, but I hope to get down there more often in the autumn.

 I went up to Kangwha for confirmations about Ascension time, and spent a week or more in the city with Mr. Badcock, and then a week with Mr. Hillary at On Sou Tong. I had not had a chance of seeing the villages in which work is going on round the city before, so Mr. Badcock kindly took me to several in which there are small congregations which meet every Sunday under the leadership of one of the local Christians, or to which one of the catechists, official or otherwise, goes out to preach to those who cannot get into the city. The members at these villages, of which we visited some eight in all, are mostly catechumens under instruction. This they receive from the catechists on their round as instructed by Mr. Badcock, and then this year he has instituted an excellent scheme by which many of them are induced to walk into the city, where they have one or two days' teaching in the church. They bring their own rice and get it cooked somewhere, and can get a bed on somebody's floor without much difficulty. Of course there are disappointing cases, cases that is in which those who have professed to believe have withdrawn themselves when they found that they did not get what they really came for-influence, or help of one kind or another ; but as the work goes on it is easier to find out whether the people are sincere or not, and also they are beginning to see what we really are here for and to come for that if they really want it and not to come if they do not. We went right across the island to a village on the west coast and there we had our evening meal, and there several of the Christians came from the neighbouring villages to have service and to meet me. The room was only 8 ft. by 16 ft. or rather less, and it was not easy to see or even sit down, but they entered very heartily into everything, and we hope that the work in that district will really grow and prosper. Next day we came back by another route and visited one village in which there was an old man, who was learning the doctrine with four generations of his descendants. In all the villages they make some arrangement for their services in their own houses, but in the last we went to they have, with some help from us, bought their own house, and by degrees they will repair it and make it more fit for the purpose. I think that there is growing up what we wish so much to encourage- a better spirit of self-help and self-support. Up to the present, especially where we have foreigners living, we have had to bear most of the expenses our-selves, but in the smaller places they ought to do most of what is necessary for themselves.
-At On Sou Tong itself Mr. Hillary is building a church for his large congregation, which we hope will be ready for opening in the autumn. It is very much needed, for he has nearly the whole of the fairly large village admitted either to baptism or to the catechumenate, in addition to the people who come in from surrounding villages. The Christians have put a good deal of work into it themselves and have given a certain amount of money, but most of the money has come from the S.P.G. or outside sources. I hope in the next number we may be able to let you have a photograph of the building, which, when I saw it, promised to look well though it is not of course so fine a church as the one in the city.
+From the city I walked down to On Sou Tong, being accom-panied part of the way by Mr. Badcock and one of the catechists with whom I visited one or two Christians on my way, and as I reached a point some two miles from On Sou Tong I saw Mr. and Mrs. Hillary waiting for me at the top of one of the little passes on the way, and <span style="color:red">with them were two donkeys which they had brought to help them get about the country. They really need something, for if they are to walk everywhere it not only takes a very long time but they arrive too tired to do any teaching, which has often to be done at night after their arrival.</span> Now they mount their steeds and arrive fresh and ready for anything that may turn up. When they met me Mrs. Hillary mounted one and I mounted the other, and we left Mr. Hillary to trudge along after us. They said I looked very dignified in a panama hat and my purple cassock, and certainly it was easier than walking and quicker going home-wards. On Whitsun Eve we had a very late Evensong, and preparation for the [https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/worship-texts-and-resources/book-common-prayer/collects-epistles-and-gospels-42 Whitsuntide Communion].
