 PRESENTED TO THE CONFERENCE IN SEOUL,
 October 11, 1907.
 THE Report which I have the honour to submit to you this morning is a very short one, and for the sake of clearness I have divided it into two sections ; the first part dealing with the work at Sou Won and the neighbouring villages, and the second part with the work at the out-stations.

 Political.--The condition of the country, in many ways, may be said to be unchanged, and yet every day there is made some small change, at any rate in Seoul, and there the tendency becomes more and more towards accepting the Japanese control of affairs as a fact against which it is no good to struggle any longer. But in the country districts the struggle goes on unabated, in spite of the fact that the Coreans have no chance at all when they come into actual contact with the Japanese troops, and hundreds of them have been killed and hundreds of houses have been burnt as a punishment for their owners having joined or harboured the insurgents. The result is that many men have joined them who would not otherwise have thought of doing so, and it is feared that there will be terrible suffering in the ensuing winter for the women and children, who, having no houses to go to, are scattered among the hills with which that part of the country is covered, and are living in caves and holes dug out of the hillsides. It fills one with sadness when one thinks of them, as one realises the hopelessness of the struggle, and the suffering and loss it entails on the whole country. God grant that it may not last much longer ; but one hardly sees what is to put an end to it, for no lack of arms or training and no fear of death deters the fighters, and the country is an ideal one for the sort of guerilla warfare that goes on.

 MY DEAR CHILDREN,--
 	I told you in my last letter what a delightful day the Corean Orphans had in the country at the beginning of the summer. It seemed to do them so much good, that afterwards three delicate children were sent into the country to stay for three weeks, but this time, instead of going a few miles from Seoul in a tram, they were taken to Kanghoa, which I expect you know is an island, about as large as the Isle of Wight, on the west coast of Corea. There is a town in the island known as Kanghoa city, but these orphans went to a cottage quite in the country to stay with some Corean Christians. A lady very kindly paid the money for the railway journey and for their going across to the island by boat, and they thought the travelling great fun. The three who went were Salome, Mary. who has only one arm, and Helena, who is ten years old, and has been in the Orphanage since she was a baby. How much they must have had to tell the other children when they went home again! The orphans seem to have had a happy summer altogether, for the Consul-General very kindly invited them to go and play in his grounds, which are quite near; so they went every Saturday and played games there for an hour and a half or two hours,
 	Now of course it is winter in Corea as it is with us, and very cold too, and all the pennies you have been able to give to the Orphanage will be specially wanted now for firing to keep the little people warm, and for rice, which is so much dearer than it used to be. You will like to know what your money has been doing lately. For the last year you have been taking care of a little baby called Agatha, who was picked up in the street in January, and also of Joanna, whose name was chosen for her by the elder children. Her little legs are so weak that she cannot stand, and the bigger children carry her about on their backs ; but she is getting better, and will, I hope, soon be able to walk alone. The 5s. you were able to get in your collecting box, Bridget, will be very helpful, and so will the other 5s. from Rose, Ada and Kathleen, made by those nice woollies sent me for the sale. I am so glad, Lizzie, that you, too, remember the Children's Fund, and that so many children both at Harvington and Swindon have given their pennies to Corea.

I hear, too, that at Swindon some of you meet together for basket and '''sewing classes''', and that you have already made and sent a good many useful things to Corea. Besides <span style="color:purple">the woollies</span> I had two other nice parcels sent me not long ago : one had in it <span style="color:purple">dolls</span> from Bella, Maud and Winnie, that I am sure will please the little orphans very much, and the other, six pairs of <span style="color:purple">nice warm cuffs</span> ; but I could not thank anyone for these, as I do not know who sent them.

There are still two new members that I have not forgotten, and this letter is written to you, William and Richard, just as much as to all the others.
 	I wish each and all of you a very happy New Year, and I know that we all wish a great deal of happiness for little friends in Corea. But we are going to do something more than wish, we are going to pray, for them and for many others in Corea and elsewhere, that Jesus Christ will "fetch them home to His flock" and teach them to know and love Him, for we know that He alone can make them really happy.

I had nearly finished my work so far as I could do it, and was going up to Seoul next day, when there was a sudden outbreak on the part of Corean soldiers and their sympathisers in the town and neighbourhood.

You have heard that the risings and troubles in Seoul had made the Japanese decide to disband the troops all over the country, and the soldiers here heard that the disbanding force was on its way up the river and they determined to oppose them. They killed one Japanese policeman and broke into the armoury to obtain the rifles and ammunition, of which there was a great store, as not long ago the troops stationed in the town were some 8oo in number. Luckily they had been reduced and only fifty were there at the time. Having the guns they distributed them to any one they could prevail upon to take them, and the night was spent in firing wildly into the sky, as many of the people were handling them for the first time, and wanted to practise to be ready for the Japanese when they arrived, and some of them were drunk. '''I did not realise that there was any likelihood of danger arising for us foreigners, and as I was anxious to get to Seoul for my work there, I tried to get away to Chemulpo next morning. I got as far as the river, but only just ahead of some of the soldiers and civilians who were coming down to Kapkochi to oppose the Japanese. The boatmen then refused to start, and while I was trying to persuade them, one of the Coreans who was very drunk threatened to shoot me.''' Luckily he could not manage the gun properly, and before he had the cartridge fixed some of the others interfered, and after a time I was able to get safely into the city again. I was indeed thankful I had not gone, for that after-noon the Japanese troops to the number of forty came up, and the Coreans fired two or three volleys at them, killing and wounding eleven. They then let them land and fell back on the Town, but seeing the Japanese following up with a machine gun, they mostly ran away that evening, and though there were shots being fired till past midnight we slept well till daybreak, when the Japanese troops took possession of the hill just opposite our house between the east and south gates and began firing on any one they could see. They kept this up for two or three hours, and then sent men down into the town as they found there was no reply to their firing and no one appeared at whom to fire.

+	When the firing began many of the women had come to the Sisters and brought their valuables for safety; and some slept here and a few men at the church waiting-room. On the Sunday morning we had to forego the usual service as the firing was going on all the time; but we were able to meet in the church in the evening, and after that were able to keep up the ordinary daily service, but stopped the bell so as not to call too much attention to ourselves. '''However, the soldiers were, on the whole, very good to us and to our people, and while some of the camp followers stole some valuable goods from the houses, our losses and those of the people attached to us were merely nominal. When the major arrived with the relief from Chemulpo I went to see him, with Mr. Hillary, to ask him what he was going to do, as I thought we might be able to make the people understand better than his interpreters, and also might induce them more easily to fall in with his orders, and so save trouble. He told us all the rifles which had been stolen must be brought in next day by twelve noon, and if they were not a house-to-house search would be instituted, and if any arms or other soldiers' implements were found the house would be burnt. We told him that it was impossible to collect all the guns as most of them had been taken away, while many had been thrown into the water, or buried in the fields, or thrown away on the hill sides, or carried off to neighbouring islands or the mainland. How-ever, he held to his orders, and we sent word to all we could to tell our people to bring in what they could find, and had to trust that it would not be so bad for the people as he seemed to make out. On Monday morning Mr. Hillary and I went down again to see him, and he offered to send us away if we were afraid. '''We replied that we were not afraid of the Coreans, and he said we need not be afraid of the Japanese''', so we said we would stay. Indeed there was nowhere to go; but if there had been we could hardly have left the Coreans, who were depending on our protection. We then held a council of war and decided to leave the Sisters' house empty while the town was being searched ; and for the other members of the party, Sisters Margaretta and Cecil, to go up to be with Mr. Hillary and his wife at the main house while I went up to the church where a few men had collected; while several of our women had gone into the church itself. The search began at noon, and after setting fire to a house in which they found a soldier's coat, they came up to the church and took away two of the boys who had been in our school and were working in the printing-office, because they had their hair cut and they thought they might have been soldiers. They were rather frightened, but were only detained all day and were released in the evening. Then they went round the town and burnt one more house and the old powder magazines, blowing up the powder on the hillside much to the alarm of the women in the church and of Mr. Wilson who saw the smoke from a hill at On Sou tong. The next day and the next a further examination of the houses was made, and with the help of members of the <span style="color:red">Il-chin-hwai, a pro-Japanese society</span>, they caught one or two men who had taken part in the outbreak and put them in prison, among them the man who had tried to shoot me. He was afterwards let out, but he was known to be such a scoundrel that, as I hear, they have been trying to catch him again.
 	When the firing began many of the women had come to the Sisters and brought their valuables for safety; and some slept here and a few men at the church waiting-room. On the Sunday morning we had to forego the usual service as the firing was going on all the time; but we were able to meet in the church in the evening, and after that were able to keep up the ordinary
 	I felt that it would be an assistance to Mr. Hillary to stay down in the Island a few days longer, and that it would help to settle the minds of our people if I did not run away at once, though I do not know that my presence was of any real value, for the Japanese were on the whole by no means cruel to the people though, of course, there were individual cases of hardship. The worst part of it for us was that it was hard to get information from outside or let our friends know how we were getting on, until at last the head of the police came down from Seoul and gave orders for his men to help us all they could, and then they were very good to us and sent letters and obtained stores for us, but for some days we were shut up in the town as no one was allowed to go out, though any one who liked could come in. We have much to be thankful for in that we suffered no harm and had really so little hardship to put up with. Deo Gratias.
 	As to our people, only one or two had had anything to do with the outbreak and they against their will, being forced by men they met to carry guns and only one of them used his, the others returning them to the armoury as soon as it was dark enough. They all escaped scot free, and very thankful they were they had taken our advice not to mix themselves up with the very doubtful politics of the town. Our friends, the American Methodists, were not so fortunate, as some of them were strongly suspected by the Japanese of taking part in the rising. Whether they had done so or not I do not know for certain, but they had abused the Il-chin-hwai and the Governor, and being disliked by the former some of them were caught, and by some unfortunate mistake, among seven prisoners who were being taken up to Seoul by the police four were shot.
 	There were many interesting, and some amusing, things that happened during those days of which I cannot write now, but I must mention that we were able to give a certain amount of practical help to the Coreans, for during the three hours' firing on the Sunday morning four people were wounded. One died before he could be brought in ; one, a boy of seventeen, died that night in the Sisters' house, while two others, a woman of fifty and an old man who remembered the French and American attacks

 THE last quarter of the year is generally a busy one in the way of sales of work, meetings, work parties, &c, and this year seems no exception to the rule. Missionary exhibitions have been held in many places, and are such a great source of arousing interest that we wish more districts could arrange to have them. The Mission to Corea has been represented lately at exhibitions in Manchester, Brixton and Leatherhead, and we hope for others to be held in the near future. A most successful sale of work at Bath has sent in over ￡20 to swell our funds, and a small one at Newquay also did very well; we are most grateful to all who helped to make them such a success. A Bromley thirteen members made garments for St. Peter's Sale of Work.

 MY DEAR FRIENDS,--

I have had complaints from our readers that my letters are hurried and not properly thought out. I know it is true, I ask your pardon for that in so far as it is my own fault. But I want to ask you if it is all my fault. The fact of the matter is that I have too many things on my hands to make it possible for me to do my work as I ought to do it, as I would wish to do it. It is absolutely necessary that I should have some one here in Seoul to help me. I pray that this may come into the hands of someone who may offer himself, or of someone who will bring influence to bear on a friend, to come out here. Do you not know some one who might come and whom you might influence to that end? He may say: “I cannot come. I am too old to learn the language.” I would

 	One word more. I am very anxious to go home next year. I feel I ought to go, but it is very difficult as you may imagine. However, I have had great encouragement by a letter from Mr. Trollope saying that, if he can get leave for a year from his parish at home, he will try and come to help here while I am away. I have not had an answer to my telegram saying “Welcome,” but I am hoping he will be able to come. Then I shall hope to see you next summer ; but if he comes alone he will find it almost impossible, as I find it, to do what he will wish to do, and I would ask you if it is fair to let him overdo himself out here as he has been doing at home, even though it is at some sacrifice to yourself that you decide to accompany him?
 	I cannot write more now, and will only repeat the prayer and ask you to use it often yourselves, “God grant that someone may come to our assistance."”

 	In the Name of the Lord. May His grace be with you.
 	There is a question of great importance on which I wish to speak to all the members of our Church in Corea, but as I cannot speak to each one face to face I am writing you this letter. Although it is very difficult to leave Corea at present, it is advisable for me to go home next year as there are many important matters on which I wish to consult with the authorities of the Church and the Missionary Society which sends us out here to preach the Gospel. But, further, there is additional reason why I should go next year. Every ten years all the Bishops of our Church throughout the world meet to consult upon the work of the Church, and to decide how best to enable it to do its work better in all lands. They come from England, North and South America, Canada, Africa, India, Australia, China and Japan, and I think it would not be right that our only Bishop in Corea should not be present. Do you not agree with me? We are at present one of the smallest dioceses in communion with the Church of England, but we shall not always be so I hope, and I am anxious for you all to know about this meeting because it will help you to realise that though we are not so numerous as other Churches here, yet we belong to a Church which is very great, very wide-spread, and which we believe to be a branch of the great Catholic Church which Christ Himself founded, and a Church which retains the marks of the true Church and teaches the doctrines handed down from the Apostles, more completely and more fully than any other. While I am away the work here in Corea will be left in the hands of the priests in charge of the various districts, Mr. Hillary in Kangwha, Mr. Bridle in Sou Won, Mr. Gurney in Choung-chung Province, and as to Seoul I have asked Mr. Trollope, who used to be here, to come out and take my place in Seoul and Chemulpo, and I hope that all the mem-bers of the Church in my absence will do their best to help on the work.

 	There is one other point that I would call your attention to. At the time of that meeting there will be a united service in the greatest church in London, St. Paul's Cathedral, at which an offering of money will be given from each diocese in each Country, and I have asked the priests in charge to ask for your offerings and to send them to me that I may take them with me to England to present them to God at that service. Our members are not numerous or rich, but I think I ought to ask you to give according to your power, one and all, while at the same time you do not neglect to support your own needs in your own villages. Will you then, as the priest in charge directs, do what you can to make our offering from Corea one we shall not be ashamed of? You may ask to what will this be given? We might give it to a special object in this country, but I think it will be well to give it, as many other dioceses are giving it, to the central fund. A committee will be appointed to administer this fund and to distribute it to such purposes as it thinks fit in different countries
 the greatest church in London, St. Paul's Cathedral, at which an offering of money will be given from each diocese in each Country, and I have asked the priests in charge to ask for your offerings and to send them to me that I may take them with me to England to present them to God at that service. Our members are not numerous or rich, but I think I ought to ask you to give according to your power, one and all, while at the same time you do not neglect to support your own needs in your own villages.
