 ABOUT sixty li (twenty miles) to the south of Chin-Chun is a city set on an hill, whose situation somewhat resembles that of the famous Kwang-ju, known as the "Nam Han," or "Southern Fortress," of Seoul.
 	These mountain strongholds were built for two purposes ; first, as cities of refuge in perilous times; second, as store cities, provid-ing against wars and famines. I believe there are a good many such in the country, though I only know definitely of seven or eight.
-	This place of which I now write more particularly is known locally by the simple name of San Song-li, "Hill City." It is only a few miles from the important walled town of Chong-ju, which lies in the open plain below.

 	San Song is great (in respect of area) and walled up to Heaven. The fine old battlemented walls stand up against the sky-line for many a league around--naturally, being what and where it is, it "cannot be hid." Until recent years, say fifteen or sixteen, rice and other food-stuffs were stored here in vast quantities by the Government.
 	Two or three years ago, the Japanese dismantled the four gates and overthrew portions of the wall. They have found it expedient, I think, to make such breaks in the defences of all the walled cities of the country. It is a grief of eye, but "military necessity" is a constantly recurring phrase which covers a good deal that is unpleasant for Coreans.

 	Down these tremendous slopes Corean hunters are said to tobogan furiously in the winter in pursuit of mountain deer, which they overtake in the slippery snow and slay with the hunting spear.
 	If I had to take my choice of a part in this hunting. I should prefer the chances of the quarry to the perils of the sportsman.

Howeit, this beanly pilfering is generally permitted to travellers at harvest time by kindly Corean custom.

 	There are as yet no Christians in this mountain fortress. The house we stayed at is a prettily situated Buddhist women's monastery.
 	Only two nuns were in residence (one of them, aged seventy. had adopted the profession since becoming a widow at the age of nineteen), three or four others were out collecting alms (in kind, mostly), as the endowment is small, consisting of a few fields of beans, turnips, peppers, &c., and a small non (i.e. rice field).
 	The springs in the city are famous, and Corean visitors go there in the summer for coolness and quiet, and to enjoy the scenery and the waters which are said to possess medicinal properties.

 OBJECTIONS TO MISSIONS.---The following letter appeared in a recent number of the Church Missionary Review :--

 ===Local Notes.===
 SEOUL.--For some time, this quarter, the city work has been suspended on account of the epidemic of cholera, but as, owing to colder weather and the energetic efforts of the Japanese in the suppression of the disease, it is now practically stamped out, it is once more possible to resume work. The cholera claimed many victims, some of them being relations of our Christians, but there were no losses among our own people.
 	The Orphanage.-- The twin baby girls who were brought in when only a few hours old have both died, in spite of all the care and attention paid them. Lucia, who went to Sou Won for her health, has returned fat and well. Benita is in the Severance Hospital, where she has undergone an operation on her knee. She is just able to get about on crutches now, and will, in time, be able to walk again.
 	CHEMULPO.--A Corean woman and a girl were confirmed on August 14, and a Corean baby baptised on October 17. A Japanese woman also received the rites of Baptism and Confirmation on September 8.
 	The Bishop was here on St. Michael and All Angels Day (the Church is dedicated to the Angels), and on the Eve Festal Evensong. in Corean, was sung, and we had a Corean Celebration of the Holy Communion on the day itself at 7 A.M.
 	The staff of Coreans employed in the hospital has from the first been the source of considerable difficulty. Older men are too slow in picking up the sort of work that is required of them and younger men are open to tremendous temptation in a town so full of moral evil as Chemulpo. We have had to send away many men, and since Dr. Laws took charge a complete change of personnel has been made. He had with him a man who was with him for years in kangwa, but he has taken him with him to Chin-chun and we feared that when Dr. Weir arrived he would find no one at all to help him in the dispensary and the wards. At the last moment a man who has been in Mission employ for many years, whose home is in Chemulpo and knows all the difficulties of life there, and has passed through the fire himself, and who suits the requirements of age and intelligence, came forward as a candidate for the post of head attendant or ‘Boy.' Dr. Laws engaged him at once, but he only had a few days' work with him before Dr. Weir's return. Another man will be required and one of our Christians will pro-bably be appointed. Then a great hindrance to the evangelistic work in the hospital has been the fact that we could, with all our efforts, find no one to act as Catechist. There was no fit man among the Christians, and we could not spare a man from any of the other stations from the small number of Catechists we have. One of Mr. Hillary's assistants at Onsoutong, who has for a long time been doing good voluntary work, has now offered to go to Chemulpo and help us. He is a farmer but has had bad luck lately. and wishes to leave his farm to his son and his teaching to another man, and says he will be glad to work at Chemulpo for the small salary that we can give him. His name is Sob Mattai (Matthew). aged about forty, and his wife Hilda will come with him and help too. You will see in the intercessions a mention of these two men, and prayer is earnestly asked for them and for the other man to be engaged.
 	The return of Dr. and Mrs. Weir has been a great event, and the Corean Christians and Catechumens took the opportunity of showing their affection for and gratitude to them by according them a most hearty reception. The Hospital and compound were decorated profusely with flags and lanterns, and the first sign of welcome appeared before Dr. and Mrs. Weir actually arrived, for as the train neared the station a blaze of light on the hill where the hospital stands drew their attention to their home made gay in joyful welcome. The men were on the platform to greet them, and outside the station the women were drawn up in a row on one side of the road, and the boys on the opposite side, each carrying a lantern. After Dr. and Mrs. Weir had greeted them, they all formed in procession, and accompanied them to the hospital, where Dr. Weir made them a short speech before they dispersed.
 	Dr. and Mrs. Laws left two days later for Chin-Chun. A number of friends went with them to the station to wish them happiness in their future life and work, and they have the thanks of all those here whom they have helped in the past year.
 	The next arrival will be Miss Rice, whom we are hoping to welcome in a few days' time.
 	KANGWA.--The loss of Mrs. Hillary has filled all the Christians’ hearts with sorrow. Many touching expressions of sympathy have come from all parts of the Island. Though the sense of present loss sorrow is very prevalent, yet, through it all, one is thankful to see that the teaching of the joy of the Resurrection and the Life beyond the grave is bearing fruit, and is a very real comfort to all those who mourn the great temporary loss they have sustained. It is splendid, too, to see the determination among the Christians to carry on Mrs. Hillary's work as well as they can. Dur. ing this month (October) most of the villages have been visited by unpaid \women workers who
 of their own free will, came forward and offered to do this work. In the Taouni district the Christians have proposed a scheme for providing funds for a woman teacher from the N.W. of the Island. They propose making a great effort at the Harvest Thanksgiving, and with the money given them, buying some rice-land which will be given to the maintenance of the teacher. Whether this scheme will prove a success or not remains to be seen, but it is an effort towards solving the difficult problem of the maintenance of native teachers by the Coreans themselves
 	The Christians wish to put some memorial of Mrs. Hillary in Onsoutong Church, and have already collected a certain amount of money. They hope to put the work in hand very soon.
 	On September 22 a chapel was opened at a village called Sōm-yongkol in the magistracy of Tongchin, on the mainland, to the east of Kangwha. In five villages in Tongchin mission work is progressing but this is the first chapel to be built in that district.
-	Sou Won.--There is not much to record this quarter as, during the rainy season, it is impossible to reach many of the out-lying centres, while the beat makes prolonged effort impossible. The schools re-open early in September, and in both the Boys' and Girls' Schools the number of scholars exceeds forty. Several girls have been sent up from Chin-Chun by the Rev. W. N. Gurney, as boarders in the Girls' School. A finely engineered road has been made, running east from Sou Won, which, when completed, will reach as far as Choung-ju. This may open out our work on that side. Already, in a large village called Sangkol, about twenty miles along this road, sixty persons have asked to be instructed in the Faith, and are, at present, very earnest. They are using a large tiled house as a place to meet in. Our prayers are much needed that they may be led to persevere, for only too often, in the past, these large in-gatherings have, in the end, led to almost nothing. For example, in one city in this district, there were, at one time, one hundred enquirers-to-day there is not a single one! The completion of the screen in the church, together with the gifts of altar frontals, and chairs for the Bishop and Priests, have added greatly to the beauty and dignity of the church.

 	Mr. Walton, during his temporary charge of the Japanese work in Corea, once or twice visited two Japanese Christians living in Sou Won.
-	CHIN-CHUN.--This station was formally occupied in November 1907. In November 1909. medical work was begun by Dr. A F. Laws. Mrs. Laws, who accompanies her husband, hopes to help eventually with the women, and, perhaps, in female education. She needs prayers for good health and ability to learn the language. The Priest in charge, Wilfrid Gurney, sees visions of sub-division, and removal to a more distant part of this large district, when George Hewlett (due at Christmas) shall have been made Priest, learnt some Corean, and acquired the necessary local experience. A few more Priests would be very welcome in these parts! There are already fifteen little chapels to be served, besides innumerable villages to be visited.

 	JAPANESE WORK.-- A fortnight's residence in Corea seems rather a short period in which to qualify oneself for writing notes on the Japanese work here, and one can only give one's first impressions.

 	Of the importance of the work it is no good writing. I myself have seen it written about so often, that any one who reads this will be as much aware of it as I am myself, but it's sad to think of the work which can not be done, because there are not enough men here to do it.

-	In Chemulpo the work among women could be undertaken if only we had a trained native worker. The Japanese woman, Kurose san (Benita), who was lately baptised and confirmed, is most anxious to help, and would be quite capable of doing so, with some training. It would cost ￡12 a year to send her to the Training School in Tokyo: and she ought to be there two years. Where is the necessary money to come from? Is there no one who will assist us? As Mr. Sharp says, it is useless to talk about the great importance of the work, but to those of us who see the needs of those around us it is a real grief and disappointment that we are not gifted with that "golden-tongued" eloquence which might induce people to help in this work. In Chemulpo there are hundreds of Japanese women. Of these women we could now get in touch with, perhaps, a dozen, and this would lead to others coming. But we want a trained Japanese Bible-woman, and we want one now! The cost of her maintenance would be about £30 a year. It does not seem much when one considers what it represents—the gain of souls ! It might be possible to borrow a Bible-woman from Japan, while Kurose san is training for the post. This would mean ￡12 a year for Training School fees for Kurose san, and £30 a year for the temporary Bible-woman. At present we are in touch with about fourteen or fifteen men here, and a good number of children come to the Sunday School, twelve very regularly, and a good many more, from time to time. Some visiting among the Japanese women can be managed, but very little teaching until a fully qualified Bible-woman is stationed here.

 ===Prince Ito's Death.===
 '''A GREAT man has passed away. A great statesman, perhaps the greatest of his day; a great leader, the maker of modern Japan; a great patriot, that is, the word that best describes him.''' Patriotism has produced many great men, but few greater than he whose death we deplore. It is a loss Japan can hardly bear, it is a loss Corea will feel deeply, and it is of that we here think mostly, as it affects us most closely. For though his direct connection with Corea had closed some months ago, we felt that while he had so large a voice in the affairs of his country, it was certain that the policy he had laid down would be carried out. No doubt that here too, as in all his life's work, the main motive was Patriotism. His policy was an answer to the question, not, What is best for Corea? but, What is best for Japan ? 'That, too, was doubtless the idea of all the Japanese, but he with his statesman's eye and world-wide experience saw, what those of less knowledge of the world and other nations, men of narrower outlook, missed, namely that what was best for Corea and the Coreans, was best too for Japan and the Japanese in the long run. And we, knowing what was in his mind, trusted him as we would have trusted few others to carry through the work of settling the difficulties of the Corean question. His policy was one of conciliation, not of compulsion; of justice, not of spoliation. It was not entirely successful, but that was due to difficulties which he could not altogether overcome and for which he had not perhaps fully allowed, the natural distrust of the Coreans, the incompetence of his instruments, the incapacity of many of the Japanese to see the greatness and wisdom of his plans. None the less did we honour and trust him, and we can only hope that now he is gone the authorities will carry out, loyally and whole-heartedly, the policy he laid down, for in justice and conciliation, especially the former, lies the only hope of Japan's ultimate success in the arduous task she has taken on herself. And we may expect that our hopes will be fulfilled, for the Japanese believe that he still knows what is being done in the world of men, still looks for the success of his country, still interests himself in what lay near his heart here. So we trust that they will try to carry out the plans of their great patriot that they may still please him and give him the honour which is his due in the spirit world to which he has passed. (Since writing the above we have been re-joiced to see a public statement by Count Katsura that the policy of Japan is to be the policy of Prince Ito.)

 MY DEAR FRIENDS,--
 	Owing to causes with which you are acquainted, there have been changes in the disposal of the staff of the Mission which you ought to know about. I think the easiest way will be for me to tell you all about it in a letter.
 	Seoul.-- The only changes have been in connection with Mr. Cartwright's death. Through the kindness of Bishop Cecil of South Tokyo, we have had no long period without a foreign priest to take charge of the work. First of all he sent us over the Rev. Henry Walton and his wife from Yokohama, who were with us all during the hot weather; and both European and Japanese were very grateful to them for all their kindness and for the work they did for us while they were in Seoul, and in visiting Chemulpo and Fusan. When they returned to their own work we wondered whether Bishop Cecil would be able to help us further, and great thanks are due to him from us all for weakening his own staff and sending the Rev. A. L. Sharpe to take Mr. Walton's place. The latter had only just come back from furlough, and was beginning to settle into his work again at Shizuoka when he was called away from that to take up the temporary charge of the work here. You will realise that this was a great act of self-sacrifice, for though the Work in Corea is very interesting, and we Corean residents always say it is a much better country to live in than Japan, we do not find that everybody agrees with us; and even if it were true, to give up the work which is one's own, and take up temporarily that which is not, however interesting it may be, is an act for which we who benefit by it cannot show ourselves suffici-ently grateful.
 	Chemulpo.-- Great changes have taken place here. Dr. and Mrs. Laws have gone, Miss Lillingston is going, while Dr. and Mrs. Weir have returned and Miss Rice is coming. I need not say how much I have appreciated Dr. Laws's goodness in tak-ing up the work at Chemulpo for the last year, and so keeping everything going during Dr. Weir's absence on furlough. The life in a treaty port is not congenial to everybody. and Dr. Laws dearly loves the country where the people are more unsophisticated and life Generally is simpler, but he gave up his own wishes and did as I asked without a murmur; and now he has got his desire and has gone to Join Mr. Gurney. Mrs. Laws, who has found her first year in Corea rather trying to her health, is much better, and writes to say that she is very pleased with everything at Chin-Chun. I am sure she will get a warm welcome from the women there, though it will be some time before she is able to talk to them as freely as she would wish, as she has been hindered at Chemulpo in the learning of the language. However, there she will get on apace, for she will not have many foreigners to converse with, the nearest neighbour living some twenty miles away. Miss Lillingston, too, is one who prefers the country life and work, and now she will also get her wish, and be able to devote herself to the more purely evangelistic work, as she is going to Kanghwa--I cannot say to take Mrs. Hillary's place in the women's work, but so far as is in her power to help the Coreans, to give them that encouragement and “back-ing” which at the present time a foreigner alone seems to be able to give. Since she first came out Miss Lillingston has been filling posts left vacant for a time by others going on furlough. I am glad to think that she is now going to take up work of her own. which I hope may be permanent, and I know that the work she has done has not been in vain, nor has her time been wasted, though the visible results may not have been great.

 Cooper and the Sisters are all still in residence, and I hope they may long stay there, but at Chinchun there has been need of much work on the compound to make ready for Dr. Laws's arrival, and now the number of Europeans on the station has risen from one to three, and before Christmas we hope that Mr. George Hewlett will be there too. Dr. Laws will find plenty to do in a widespread district where the population is almost entirely agricultural, mostly poor, and cut off by the range of hills we have to cross on the way to Chinchun from the more advanced parts like Seoul, where medical attendance can more easily be obtained. The nearest neighbours are at the Chiksan gold mines on the way to the railway and a station of the American Presbyterians at Chong-ju to the south, where a hospital has recently been opened; but both these are some twenty miles away over rough roads, while Mr. Gurney's work lies mostly to the north, and it will be from that side that the patients will chiefly come, and in that direction there is no doctor available nearer than Seoul.
 	In the Intercessions you will find mention of these changes, and I hope that this quarter you will not forget those who have moved to take up new work, and especially the new-comers, that they may be happy in their work and receive God's blessing upon it. The changes will, we hope, be completed by Christmas.
 						I am yours sincerely,
 								ARTHUR B. TURNER, Bishop.
