 	Early in the afternoon of the next day (October 13) we left again by the north-bound express, and, dropping Fr. Sharpe to look after some stray Japanese sheep of his flock at Taiden, Fr. Hodges and I went on to Song-hwan (some 200 miles from Fusan and seventy-five short of Seoul). the nearest point on the railway line to Fr. Gurney's Mission station at Chin-Chun, which lies some twenty-four miles distant, over a range of mountains. Fr. Gurney met us at Song-hwan station, but as it was pitch dark and very late we were glad to accept the offer of a night's hospitality at the

 MY DEAR FRIENDS,--
 		My last letter was written just as I was on the point of leaving England, on the eve of Holy Cross Day: this is being written from Seoul, the ancient capital of Corea, on the Feast of All Saints. This is a memorable date for us, as it is the twenty-second anniver-sary of the consecration of Charles John Corfe, our first Bishop, and the first anniversary of the burial of Arthur Beresford Turner, our second Bishop, who was laid to his rest in our little cemetery in the suburbs of Seoul just a year ago to-day. As he passed away on the Festival of SS. Simon and Jude, 1910, it will be natural and easy to keep his “years in mind” regularly year by year on the morrow of that festival, and possibly also to visit his grave, as we are hoping to do this afternoon, on All Saints' Day. Our own little cemetery, as some of you will remember, adjoins the general Foreign Cemetery. in a picturesque spot called Yang-Haw-chin, on the banks of the river Han, about an hour's walk distant from the City Gates. I find the memory of Arthur, our late Bishop, very green and fresh here still, and, if his example is an inspiration to me, I fear it will be none the less difficult for his successor to live up to the reputation which he left behind. May God grant rest and peace to his soul, and enable me to fulfil worthily the task which he has bequeathed to me!

+	I do not think that I need now delay you with a long account of my journey out. I took the first part leisurely, staying one night in Berlin and two nights in Petersburg on my way to Moscow, where I met Bishop Cecil (Boutflower), of S. Tokyo (Japan), who was to be my companion in the ten days' railway journey across Siberia. The features of that route are likely to become more and more familiar to readers of MORNING CALM now that it is so rapidly superseding the old, tiresome sea journey of six or seven weeks which used to separate England and the Far East. Things move rapidly nowadays, and, although I have only been in Corea a few weeks, already changes have taken place which will bring Seoul into more direct and easy communication with Europe, Hitherto, owing to the unfinished state of the railway in Manchuria, north of Corea, the problem has always been how to bridge over the 1.000 miles which lay between Seoul and the nearest point of Siberian railway. Some have preferred to risk the fearful pleasures of the unfinished railway route through Manchuria; others have gone by sea to Dalny (Port Arthur) and there joined the South Manchurian railway, which effects a junction with the Siberian main line at Harbin; while others have done as I did, and formed a connection with Wladiwostok (the eastern terminus of the Siberian railway) vid Japan and the Japan Sea. To-day it is announced that the line through North Corea and Manchuria, viâ Mukden, to Harbin is completed, and we shall soon be seeing the International "Wagons-lit" running into the Nandaimon (South Gate) station in Seoul. Miss Grosjean, who starts on her furlough at the end of this month, intends to travel by this route, and hopes to reach London in thirteen days from Seoul!

+	We reached the terminus of the Siberian railway at Wladiwostok on Saturday, September 30, and left the same afternoon by steamer for Tsuruga, the nearest port in Japan, a sea-journey of thirty-six hours. Arriving there on Monday morning. October 2, we reached Tokyo by rail the following morning, after spending a few interest-ing hours at Gifu on the road. At Tokyo, over and above the kind attentions of Bishop Cecil. I found myself among old friends--to wit, Archdeacon Ring and his colleagues at St. Andrew's Mission House. The few days I spent in Tokyo were of great value, enabling me to see something of Sir Claude and Lady Macdonald at the Embassy, of Bishop Mckim of the American Diocese of North Tokyo, and (as it happened) of Bishop Lee of Kiu-Siu (South Japan) and others, as well as to visit Yokohama, and to see there something of Frs. Field and Walton, as well as of Mr. Gutteredge, who used to be such a useful volunteer worker for us in Chemulpo. I was also able to practise my Corean, by visiting a little knot of Corean students who are living in Tokyo, and who were delighted to see someone who knew and cared for their country. <span style="color:red">But, apart from everything else, my visit to Japan gave me an opportunity of looking at the Corean problem from the Japanese end, which is, of course, an all-important one, now that Corea is (for weal or woe) as much a part of the Japanese Empire as Ireland is of the British or Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empires. The whole of Corea is, of course, now absolutely under the dominion of the Japanese, and Japanese immigrants, who are everywhere in evidence, are arriving daily in shoals and settling all over the country. It is difficult to see what the end of it will be--whether the two peoples, whose languages and customs are so different, will intermarry and amalga-mate, or hold sullenly aloof from one another until another sum in the wheel of Fortune sets the Far East in a blaze again. At present I am happy to say that peace and order prevail everywhere; and that is something to be grateful for. So let us hope for the best.</span> It is a thirty hours' journey by rail from Tokyo to Shimonoseki the port from which the steamers now start to Corea daily. En route I stayed off for one night at Hiro-Shima to visit my old Poplar friends and neighbours, Mr. and Mrs. Pringle. And about 10 P.M. on Tuesday, October 10, I left Shimonoseki by steamer for Fusan, the southern port of Corea. And at Fusan I landed about 10 A.M. on Wednesday, October 11.

 	As my baggage is all on its way round by sea and is not likely to arrive for some weeks, I determined not to go straight up to Seoul, the capital, a journey of about 275 miles by rail, but to stop off at the various stations at which we have work en route. At Fusan we have an interesting and encouraging work among the Japanese, in charge of Fr. Shiozaki, a Japanese priest, ably helped by Miss Elrington, whom I was delighted to find in such good health and spirits. Through a benefaction from the family of Stephen Cartwright we have recently been able to secure a more adequate site in the Japanese town for our work amongst the Japanese, and thereon to erect, in Japanese style, a most convenient Church-room. with a house for Fr. Shiozaki attached, and a small residence for Miss Elrington in the same "compound" Adjoining this is an excellent site for a permanent church so soon as we are build it. At present the Church-room serves excellently. Japanese houses are wonderfully neat erections of wood and plaster (mostly one storey high), with the floors covered by softly padded grass mats, called tatami, which necessitate the removal of boots on entering. The rooms are for the most part divided from one another by shoji, or sliding screens, which can be wholly removed at will, thus enabling the whole floor space of the house to be used as a single room or to be divided up into several chambers, one of which in this case is permanently shut off for the sanctuary. As the outer walls of a Japanese house are to a great extent composed of the same sort of sliding shutters, it is almost practicable to remove these too- in which case nothing is left but the roof, sup-ported on a few slender uprights. This is an arrangement which has distinct advantages in a hot summer. But the original designer of Japanese dwellings, which practically follow the same model every-where, appears to have forgotten that there is such a season as winter! I have no personal experience of it, but I gather that residence in a Japanese house during the rigours of a Corean winter has its not inconsiderable drawbacks.

 DEAR CHILDREN,--
 	A very happy New Year to you all. Another New Year! how quickly the years come round! A New Year, new beginnings, new work, new resolutions. And what a lot of new work and new openings there are to take advantage of! Our Bishop in Corea is out there now and beginning his new work, and Sister Nora will be back again refreshed, we hope, by her holiday in England, though she spent a lot of time and energy in going about in England to speak about Corea.
 	And the New Year, you already know, is a great time amongst the Corean people--it is their great Festival. They are all as it were starting anew, and we, too, must start anew to see that we do our part in helping forward all the new work. For the Coreans are

They want to learn and hear about the Good News. We must remember that the reward of doing our work for our Lord Jesus is that He gives us more work to do for Him.

Oh ! dear children, I should like to take you all out there to see the children and those of other lands I came past on my way home-- Chinese, Malays, Tamils, Cingalese, Arabs. Those fascinating little Cingalese boys, with their soft pretty voices and beseeching bright eyes! The Chinese I saw most of, and they are such merry, bright little bits of good--so comical to look at. When babies they have their heads shaved mostly, then at about four or five years old the black hair which they all have is about three or four inches long and is tied up with red or pink wool in five or six tight short plaits; so short it is that they stick straight up away from their heads. A great number have no clothes on, and others have a short cotton coat and others just a pair of cotton knickers--this was in warm weather, and they were all out in the streets playing about--just swarms of them, laughing and talking.

 	In the country the children very soon begin to help in the fields, and it is surprising to see how young they are and yet go about their work in such a capable way, leading the donkey who is pulling the stone to crush the grain, or themselves, with a flay, threshing the grain.
 	At Shanghai I was taken to a large place the American Mission have, a college for men, school for boys, another school for girls, and an orphanage. Poor little things! the little children and babies I saw there did look as though they needed to be taken care of. They were children who had been found in the streets neglected and uncared for, or children who were deformed or ill and wanted nursing. And there in this place they had indeed found a home. Amahs and girls to nurse them, a nice big clean house to live in, a nice little cot or mattress to lie on and a big garden to play in. That was where I found them, on the grass with a few playthings. And I thought the Corean children we are working for would, perhaps, look something like these.
 	You know these orphanages and schools are something quite new for these Corean and Chinese girls. Till now the girls have been left in ignorance, and evidently the girls I saw at the Mission School in Pekin are finding the life there much more enjoyable than the ignorant and dull time they have had before. I was there when they all came back after the summer holidays, many coming up from the far country. They came back to find a beautiful new school built for them. The staircase from the ground floor to the sleeping rooms is on the outside to a verandah--a very important place, as all beddingishung out there in the morning.

Across the court where they played games is the dining-room, and the girls asked my friend and myself to dinner. It is a long room with about a dozen tables, all so polished and clean. We sat at one table, then a large bowl of boiled rice was brought in and small bowls were filled from it and put in front of each of us. In the centre of the table were several small bowls with condiments in them--boiled vegetables, red cabbage, bacon, a long tin <span style="color:purple">vermicelli-looking stuff</span> and various other things to which the girls helped us. They are eaten with the rice to give it a flavour. Then we began to eat with chopsticks, or at least tried to eat. It took a little time to arrive at getting anything into one's mouth. The chopsticks have a knack of slipping and the rice goes tumbling back into the bowl or on the floor or the table. How we did laugh, and the girls, too, at our efforts! Of course Miss Phillimore who was with us could go gaily on as she had often used chopsticks before. The girls were so delightful to us and kept helping us to fresh condiments. It is good manners there to help each other with one's own chopsticks or from the bowls. It would be amusing for you in the holidays to get two thin pieces of stick eight inches long and a bowl of boiled rice, &c., &c., and see what kind of a meal you could get. But there, I must add, the floors are of brick, so the rice which arrives on the floor is easily brushed up. Your carpets might possibly suffer!

 	Well, now I must write about what has been going on here. It is nice to be able to give the name of another new branch. The Rev. A. Bagshawe has started one at Wood Newton in Northamp-tonshire. Bishop Corfe kindly went to Birmingham to speak to the children of the new branch after Bishop Trollope left and they have added new members. High Ham has also recruited new members. Sister Nora kindly went to speak to the children of St. Saviour’s, Clapham, and also to the new branch at Croydon, where she admitted fifty children as members. I hear she was bombarded with questions after her address, and the children, she wrote and told me, were so interested in hearing about Corean children and asked her such intelligent and sometimes amusing questions. We are very grateful to Miss Theresa Russell and Miss Cooke for being secretary for the boys and girls respectively, and to the children of St. Mark's, Portsmouth, for their generous offering.

The service began with prayers offering the building to God, followed by a shortened form of Matins, after which Archdeacon King (who had come over from Japan to join with us on this occasion) celebrated the Holy Communion in Japanese. The Gospel was read by Mr. Badcock in Corean, and the hymns were chosen so that, as far as possible, all might unite in singing in their own language. The sermon was to have been preached by the Rev. S. Shiozaki, the priest-in-charge at Fusan, but illness prevented him from being present, and as the service was rather long, the sermon was omitted. I am thankful to God for bringing us through a long and difficult undertaking to what all (with only one or perhaps, two exceptions) agree is a most successful conclusion. The next event of importance was the arrival of our new Bishop. As he came from Japan, viâ Fusan, the Japanese church at Fusan was able to be the first to welcome him to his diocese; he spent two days in visiting the Japanese work in that district. The first night was spent at Fusan; nearly the whole church there met together at the new Kogisho (i.e. the priest's house, in which there is a temporary church until the new permanent church on an adjacent site is ready) to hold a meeting of welcome. The following day the Bishop went to Taikyū, where we have already a small community of Christians, and hope soon to do more aggressive work. Here again all the Christians met to welcome him, and the Bishop gave himself up to a long discussion with them (by interpretation) as to ways and means for advancing the work there. The following day he went on to Chin-Sen (Chin-Chun), which brought him among the Corean members of his flock.

 	There is not much detail to report during the holiday quarter, but, briefly. I can see already much good result from our increased staff. The appointment of a priest to Fusan and Miss Erlington's work among the women there have greatly strengthened the

 	I cannot see signs of any marked progress among our people in Seoul. I wish I could. Perhaps our methods might be better, but in any case, since Seoul is more especially my charge, the chief blame must fall on me. The new building and the immense amount of legal work which it has entailed has kept me fully occupied for over a year; while the long journeys I so often have to take, and the business of the Mission which falls to me, draw me away from any sort of continued spiritual work. Until someone can be found who will share this work with me, I do not expect to see much as far as I am personally concerned.

 A DYING CHURCH.-- "A great artist some time ago was asked to paint a picture of a dying church. He painted a magnificent church in the west end of a great city. He showed the interior, with a well-dressed congregation streaming out of the west door. The altar was brilliant with jewels and all kinds of precious gems. The congregation were dressed in silks and satins, there were rings on their fingers, and they were resplendent in all kinds of beautiful things. And just at the door there was a box, with above it the words 'Foreign Missions,' and across the opening where the money could be put in a spider had spun a cobweb. That was the artist's conception of a dying church--a church lavish on its own luxuries and forgetful of the needs of the church beyond the seas.”

 entered the compound, there was a great firing of Chinese crackers and a discharge of rockets, and he made his way to the Mission House between lines of lanterns, passing under a triumphal arch on which was inscribed in Chinese characters, “A joyful welcome to the Bishop.” All these arrangements were made and carried out by the Coreans without any aid or suggestion from either of the priests.

The usual Sunday morning service--Matins, Litany, and Holy Com-munion--began at 7 A.M. The Bishop celebrated and preached; there were a large number of Communicants, and the church was most uncomfortably crowded. It was quite evident that before long steps will have to be taken to enlarge or rather complete the church.

-	The new school at Kwang-hei-won is going on well; the Educa-tion Fund grants 8s. a month towards expenses, but the two teachers do their work without payment at present. Mr. Dallas' good work in superintending our vegetable patch has resulted in a constant supply of fresh potatoes and cabbages, tomatoes and artichokes, with one really excellent cauliflower. All the rest have grown so tall and thin that the heart has failed to form.
