 	The work of the regular Services is falling more and more into the hands of the Catechist, Saw Mattai. He also prepares the men for baptism. He is a faithful man, and very humble-minded, but tends to be rather dull in his preaching. There are still quite a number of baptismal candidates under preparation, both men and women. It is hoped that most of them may be ready by Christmas.

 ===Japanese Work.===
 NATURALLY, after the interval of the summer holidays, there is not much of general interest to report. Perhaps the event of chiefest importance is the annexation of Korea by Japan. What effect this will have on our work in general I do not think anyone can say at present. Viscount Terauchi, the governor general, has expressed himself as being favourable towards all religious work whatever, so I suppose that there will be no change in the official attitude towards us.
-Meantime I note three points as being the direct outcome of the change. One is the marked improvement in the behaviour of the Japanese both towards Koreans and “foreigners”--not that there has been much to complain of in this respect lately. Still, I have it on the testimony of some from whom I have never yet heard any good word for the Japanese, that they have noticed a great difference lately. Another point is that, according to what I read in the papers, the Buddhists in Japan think they have now a special duty towards this country, and are proposing to make greater efforts to propagate their religion here. I don't think we need alarm our-selves about it. I was somewhat amused to see that the proposal was immediately “sat on” by a Japanese paper of some standing. I quote the following from the article in question: ‘It is most preposterous for Buddhist bonzes to come forward with their uncalled for service, and with the claim that they can and will do in Korea what they have not done and never have even tried to do in Japan. It is still more intolerable that any well-meaning friends of Koreans should ask for the assistance of those worldly and narrow-viewed latter day disciples of Buddha. There will be enough to worry about in Korea for some time to come, and the sending out these bonzes can only make the situation worse."

 	And then, just at this moment of all others, we are losing him who for some time past has been doing the work of an honorary catechist at Chemulpo--Mr. Aoyama.
 	In other words, there at Chemulpo is a nice catechist's house and a church adjoining, a few Christians, a promising Sunday-school, and a band of inquirers--and no one, at present, to carry on the work! It is an obvious case of “comment is needless.”
 	Meanwhile, I cannot speak too highly of the spirit in which my fellow-workers are bearing the burden and heat of the day, and without a grumble either. Mr. Okagaki, my catechist here, works nobly. Miss Grosjean and Miss Maba are cheerfully undertaking the no light duty of two Sunday-schools in addition to their other work. Miss Elrington has gone to fill a great gap at Fusan, at some personal discomfort to herself. Miss Pooley, at Chemulpo, has passed her first examination in Japanese, and in a very real way “holds the fort” there. I have not been to Fusan lately, but all accounts of Mr. Shiogaki's work there are favourable. I hope to see him shortly in the course of a voyage round the coast of Korea, which I am expecting to take soon.
 	I imagine an account of the Bishop's illness will be found else-where. He has been quite withdrawn from all active work for some time, and we miss him sorely.

 WE would heartily thank all members of S.P.F.M.A. and A.P.W. who so generously supported the Bazaar Stall lately held for Korea at Grosvenor Hall. Large contributions were received from all parts of England, and are gratefully acknowledged in this issue. Owing to various reasons, bad weather, canvassing, &c., the Bazaar was not so well attended as usual, and therefore the proceeds of the Stall decreased to £72 10s. It is disappointing that there should be a shrinkage in income just now, when the Sisters need funds badly to take up and carry on the various works for which they are responsible.
-	A very important new development in teaching work has opened out in a locality near Seoul, where the Japanese master of a school for high-class Korean girls asked Sister Edith Helena to visit the school and teach the “Doctrine.” A large number of girls are now under instruction, and quite lately the school has been offered to the Mission,-- an unparalleled opportunity, which will be offered to the wealthy American Mission unless we are prepared to seize it. This was much in Bishop Turner's mind, and his expressed wish that the school should be bought in by the Mission makes us feel we must do our utmost to supply the necessary sum during the year that will elapse before any steps need be taken.

 	The first and far the most important is the illness of the Bishop. He had been for some time in poor health and much needing a holiday, and was also troubled a good deal with his teeth, so much so, indeed, that it was necessary for him to have a number of them extracted, and his diet was accordingly considerably restricted. An opportunity presented itself of a good holiday in Japan, and he left home to enjoy it at the beginning of August, but unfortunately while there he was attacked by boils, which are said to be very prevalent in Japan this summer. On his return he was still troubled with them, or the remains of them, and at the beginning of September he came here and was taken into hospital. It was not at that time possible to locate any boil which could be dealt with, and in addition to a good deal of general discomfort he suffered at times considerable pain. It at length became evident that the infection of the boils had taken a hold on his system and was working internally, and recently two small operations have been necessary to open small but rather deeply-seated abscesses. One of these caused some inflammation of the glands of his left leg, which has given him a great deal of pain, as it has been impossible for him to move it freely, and there has been constant aching. at times very severe. It seems now as if at last this was abating, but he is not easy yet. He has been confined entirely to bed for nearly three weeks, and has had a good deal of fever all the time, but his strength has kept up well, in spite of a good deal of sleeplessness which has been difficult to combat. The fever still continues, though it is less than it has been, and should no further abscesses develop he ought to make steady progress, though it will at the least be a long time before he is well, and there is always some fear of further trouble. One of the doctors in Seoul, who was looking after him when he first came back from Japan, has kindly been down twice to see him and has given much help in the treat-ment. We have all much to thank God for already, and it may well be hoped that by the time this is published we shall be able to give thanks for his restoration to health, but at the time of writing the prayers of all must be requested on his behalf, as his condition still gives rise to considerable anxiety.

 FOURTH QUARTER, 1910.
 THE past quarter has been, as usual, largely devoted to the summer holiday, but there are a few matters of outstanding importance to relate.
 	The first and far the most important is the illness of the Bishop. He had been for some time in poor health and much needing a holiday, and was also troubled a good deal with his teeth, so much so, indeed, that it was necessary for him to have a number of them extracted, and his diet was accordingly considerably restricted.

It was not at that time possible to locate any boil which could be dealt with, and in addition to a good deal of general discomfort he suffered at times considerable pain. It at length became evident that the infection of the boils had taken a hold on his system and was working internally, and recently two small operations have been necessary to open small but rather deeply-seated abscesses. One of these caused some inflammation of the glands of his left leg, which has given him a great deal of pain, as it has been impossible for him to move it freely, and there has been constant aching. at times very severe. It seems now as if at last this was abating, but he is not easy yet. He has been confined entirely to bed for nearly three weeks, and has had a good deal of fever all the time, but his strength has kept up well, in spite of a good deal of sleeplessness which has been difficult to combat. The fever still continues, though it is less than it has been, and should no further abscesses develop he ought to make steady progress, though it will at the least be a long time before he is well, and there is always some fear of further trouble. One of the doctors in Seoul, who was looking after him when he first came back from Japan, has kindly been down twice to see him and has given much help in the treat-ment. We have all much to thank God for already, and it may well be hoped that by the time this is published we shall be able to give thanks for his restoration to health, but at the time of writing the prayers of all must be requested on his behalf, as his condition still gives rise to considerable anxiety.
-In one small matter, however, we have found it advisible to make a change in view of possible Japanese competition, and that is in the way of relaxation of regulations. For some years we have tried to work on what may be called European lines as to hours and arrangements for seeing patients, only serious cases being seen as a rule out of hours. This was the more necessary as it is impos-sible for one doctor to be always on the spot to see anyone who may turn up. As, however, it was found that Koreans were going to the Japanese hospital at all times of the day, it was felt that perhaps our rules inflicted some hardship on the people, and after some thought a plan was hit upon, so simple that it would have been put into practice before had we not been working on the lines to which we were used at home. In England even a hospital patient has some idea of the value of time, and so understands being expected to attend at certain hours. With the Korean, however, this is not so, they will gladly wait for almost any length of time, but should they be told to come again at some other time because they have come at the wrong time they are apt to be offended. We have therefore now arranged that no one shall be sent away at any time, but that those coming out of hours shall be given papers and entered in the books, and then dealt with at such time as may be convenient. This may mean a long wait for them, but they do not mind this, and the wait just serves to make things fair for those who do come at the proper time and who might have a sense of injustice if they have a longer delay, owing to their numbers, than those who come at other times. In this way the rest of the work is not interfered with, and though it means rather more work, it is not much, and seems likely to be a considerable relief to the patients. The plan has not yet been working long enough to report on, but so far the comers out of hours have been mostly new cases, so that it seems to be meeting a need.

 One old inpatient was baptised on St. Michael's Day, and he seems to have a good knowledge as well as a real faith. More of his family are being taught. The work is slow and is likely so to be, but it does go on, and we feel that in a place like Chemulpo few and small results are things to be very thankful for.

We have all much to thank God for already, and it may well be hoped that by the time this is published we shall be able to give thanks for his restoration to health, but at the time of writing the prayers of all must be requested on his behalf, as his condition still gives rise to considerable anxiety.
-	The next point of interest is connected with the annexation of the country. For some time the government has been establishing in various parts of the country charity hospitals, which are stated to be largely attended, and now that we have become part of Japan, where there are practically no medical missionaries, it may well be that our friends at home will think that there is no further need for our medical work. It is needful therefore to say a few words on the subject of the future, the more so as some have already suggested that the time has come for us to go home. In the first place, then, let me give one or two references to other countries Probably no country is so well staffed with medical missionaries as India, and yet that is a land where the government does a very great deal for the medical care of the people. Again, Formosa has now been Japanese for some years, but the most extensive medical work carried on by one man with which I am acquainted is in the hands of a missionary in that island. It is worth noting also that Christians in Japan itself are desirous of starting hospitals of their own to supplement the work of the government. Secondly, Korea is still very badly supplied with doctors. A number of Japanese doctors have come to the country, and no doubt many more will follow, and there are some thirty attached to the various Christian missions, but so far only very few Koreans have obtained diplomas, and though there are many practitioners of the old school, their knowledge is at least not up to date, and it is quite probable that before long they will be forbidden to practise. Most of the Japanese in the country do not make much effort to learn the language, and though it may be that the Japanese language will be made compulsory in the schools, that will not affect those already grown up, and it will be at least one or two generations before a knowledge of Korean will cease to be necessary for adequate treat-ment of the people. Also, it is at least likely that the national prejudice will die slowly and make many people unwilling to be treated by Japanese doctors. There has been for some time a Japanese government hospital in Chemulpo, but though Koreans are treated there it has not made any appreciable difference to our work Besides all this there remains the fact that there is no means so good as that of medical work for teaching the real meaning of Christianity, and however much we might feel the competition of government work, we should in no way be relieved of our duty of showing mercy.

 In one small matter, however, we have found it advisible to make a change in view of possible Japanese competition, and that is in the way of relaxation of regulations. For some years we have tried to work on what may be called European lines as to hours and arrangements for seeing patients, only serious cases being seen as a rule out of hours. This was the more necessary as it is impos-sible for one doctor to be always on the spot to see anyone who may turn up. As, however, it was found that Koreans were going to the Japanese hospital at all times of the day, it was felt that perhaps our rules inflicted some hardship on the people, and after some thought a plan was hit upon, so simple that it would have been put into practice before had we not been working on the lines to which we were used at home. In England even a hospital patient has some idea of the value of time, and so understands being expected to attend at certain hours. With the Korean, however, this is not so, they will gladly wait for almost any length of time, but should they be told to come again at some other time because they have come at the wrong time they are apt to be offended. We have therefore now arranged that no one shall be sent away at any time, but that those coming out of hours shall be given papers and entered in the books, and then dealt with at such time as may be convenient. This may mean a long wait for them, but they do not mind this, and the wait just serves to make things fair for those who do come at the proper time and who might have a sense of injustice if they have a longer delay, owing to their numbers, than those who come at other times. In this way the rest of the work is not interfered with, and though it means rather more work, it is not much, and seems likely to be a considerable relief to the patients. The plan has not yet been working long enough to report on, but so far the comers out of hours have been mostly new cases, so that it seems to be meeting a need.
 One old inpatient was baptised on St. Michael's Day, and he seems to have a good knowledge as well as a real faith. More of his family are being taught. The work is slow and is likely so to be, but it does go on, and we feel that in a place like Chemulpo few and small results are things to be very thankful for.

 	<span style="color:pink">There is to be freedom of religious belief, and no obstacles will be put in the way of propagating Christianity. The educational work done by Missionaries will be encouraged and welcomed, as the following quotation from the Director of the Education Bureau to the Bishop will show. He says: "Meanwhile I venture to ask you to give us your highly valuable co-operation, as before, in regard to education in this land. On my part I need scarcely assure you that I shall do all I can to facilitate your educational work." There most assuredly must be disadvantages as well as advantages, if Japan succeeds in putting the Peninsula in order, which she seems to be trying to do, it cannot but be beneficial to us in our work.</span>
