in a state of lifelong pupilage. At th

contrary, has a very good time, if he i
fortunate enough to own a small pate
of land; he need only help his beast of
burden (wife) during the harvest sea-
son; the land is so fertile, and his de-
mands on the luxuries of life are so
moderate, that the rest of the year he
may spend in idleness and smoke. A
Lorean workman is seldom seen with.
out his dearest comfort in life—a long,
slim -stemmed pipe between his lips.
Marriage is altogether an affair of
etiquette; the terms are settled by the
heads of the families, and the brideand
bride -groom have no opportunity of
seeing each other till they meet on the
marriage platform, and bow to each
other as man and wife.
The houses of the Coreans are of one
story, flimsily constructed of wood,
clay and rice straw, usually ccvered
with thatch, and badly provided with
windows. Lamentable accounts are
given of the general poverty of the
common people. Their houses are only
about ten or twelve•feet square; the
floor is the bare earth, covered in rare
instances with mats of poor quality.
No chairs are in use, people squating
on the floor, and there is nothing
worthy of the name of a bed.
As regards missionaries, there are
very few in Corea as yet. The country
is in the blackness of heathenism.
~How.ever;;ther-e °aremsfew.--sAn:itiner-
ant mission has been lately organized,
a ith the motto, "Occupy till I come.'
In Corea millions of human souls are
in pressing need:of the Gospel, and
thus far the vast • majority of the pen-
ple have been wholly unreached by
any herald of the cross. For all these
centuries, generation after generation
has perished without the knowledge of
Christ. The present missionary meth-
ods and agencies employed, are so
plainly inadequate to supply this need
that, unless some new or additional
measures are adopted, it is a hopeless
task to attempt to overtake this appal-
ling chstitution. To in some measure
meet this want, an itinerant mission
has been established. Its main object
is the immediate preaching of the Gos-
pel throughout, Corea. It is to be in-
terdenominational in character, evan-
gelistic .:in spirit, and aggressive in
method, not building on any other
man's foundation, but pressing into
the regions beyond, and aiming to
preach the gospel to every creature.
May God bless this last venture with
abundant success and grant to save
many precious souls.

e China was finally declared by the Ja
e anese Emperor, Aug.2, 1894. The i
terns' commotion ofClorea was thus t
B occasion of the war between Japan a
China. It is hardly necessary to eta
that this occasion must not be co
founded with the causes of the wa
which are, by far, of deeper and gre
t er significance.
Japan has been steadily pursuing
determined and .upright policy tows
e Corea, namely, to recognize her ind
s pendence and to secure her self-gover
h meet, regardless of the sacrifice i
volved in the pursuance of this polic
a policy which is the combined refill
of the noble aspiration of Japan to a
sist the weak, and of her keen realiz
tion of the dangers which may threw
en the safety of eastern nations, in th
event of the loss of independence
Corea, for the balance of power in th
East will, in that ease, be seriousl
disturbed.
China, on the contrary, has compel
ed Corea to pay annual tributes an
has called her the"Eastern Territory,
or "the Tributory Vassal."
To abandon the exhausted kingdo
to the mercy of the gigantic, but d
clining Empire, is to give up all hope
of Corea's ever becoming civilized. I
is the stagnant blood of China whit
filling the veins of Corea, enfeeble
and corrupted her. So long as Core
is subjected to the caprice and rapacit
of China, she can never uplift herse
above her .present destitute and d
fenceless condition.
As we are to deal with the Corean
war, it might be well to speak for a
minute or two of China and Japan, as
these are the two contending parties.
China, as everyoody knows, is one of
the greatest of human empires. Its
territory extends over several million
square miles, and its population is es-
timated at 400,009,000,.. But it is in-
tensely con serva01c'e itnd superstitions,
and the bigotry and ignorance of the
people have prevented, or at least hin-
dered, the adoption of modern appli-
ances of war,. so that it may be doubt-
ed, whether it is as well equipped for a
test of strength as its much smaller
neighbor, The Chinese have
an army a million strong. but only
about a third of it has modern arms,
and has been trained in modern'tae-
tics. The navy bas twelve n.odern
ironclad ships, and a fair supply of
gunboats, torpedo boats, etc.
Japan. on the other hand, haq shown
much more of the modern spirit than
China. Indeed, there has never in the
history of the human race been any-
thing more remarkable than the aban-
donment by the Japanese of their an-
cient customs, and adoption of those of
the western world, since their country,
before closed to all intercourse with
other peoples, was opened to modern
civilization by the expedition of Com-
modore Matthew C. Perry, of the Unit-
ed States navy, in 1854. Now Japan is
one of the progressive nations of the
world. The country is made up of
8,0'';1 islands on the eastern coast of
Asia, covering about 150,000 square
miles, and having a population of
bout 40,003,003. or one-tenth that of
China. But Japan has a stronger
mo,lern army and navy than China.
he has 250,000 soldiers, and all are
lilted and armed on the hest modern
ystem. She has thirty-five steam war
easels, and all are of the best modern
ype. There are in .Japan 2,000 miles
f railroad. and the telegraph is as
ern mon and almost as much used as
n the United States.

f Corea are in the most abject pover-
y, because M' the oppression et their

Here then we have one cause of. tht
war between China and Japan. Si
long as Japan regarded Corea as an in
dependent state, which China audac
iously claimed her as her dependency
so long as Japan was determined to as
sist Corea in the maintenance of he
If -govern ,at ...w.hate-eer..,.coat,.t,
Japan. while China did not scruple t”
endeavor to establish her sovereignt
over Corea by intrigues and machine
tions; so long as these antagonisti
principles were adhered to by two na
Lions with equal zeal- it was almost
certainity that a struggle would b
inevitable between them sooner o
later.
But there is another and even mors
momentous cause of this war. Evei
since Japan became acquainted wit,
the condition of affairs in the west sht
has keenly realized the necessity of tht
united efforts of the Asiatic nations
especially of Japan and China to resist
the gradual encroachment and increas
ing supremacy. in Asia of the Europear
powers. Two conditions are neressar3
to the attainment of this object. One
is that warm friendship and sincere
good wishes should exist between the
two empires. The other, that they
should co-operate each to attain th
highest possible degree of civilization
in the shortest possible length of time.
using the word civilization here in the
widest sense, so as to include the deve
lopment of material resources, of mili
tary strength, of intellectual and mo
ral qualities of the people.
All this indnced Japan to unsheat
her sword. She is sacrificing million
of her wealth and the blood of her hes
and bravest children in the cause „
liberty, of civilization and of hurnani
tv. In nobleness of purpose, and i
the grandeur ofit.ssignificance, tendert
historyfurnishes n rhes only one paralle
with this war—the war for the emanci
pation of slavery.
What may be the outcome of th
war it is difficult to conjecture. I
will silrely interfere with mission woe
in three countries and may involve
other nations in the horrors of war.
But through the maze, can we not see
the hand of God moving—moving to
liberate from the bondage of sin, and
darkness, and heathenism over 4( ),-
000,000 enthralled souls, and moving to
bring them into the clear light of the
gospel.
Can we not discern, breaking through
the mist of war and the carnage of
battle a few rays of a dawn, which,
when its full splendor will have broken
through into the clear light of day, will
be the civilization of the great Eastern
Empire.
Can we not hear, rising above the
thunder of cannon and the roar of
musketry the call of God to two great
nations•to come out from the dark-
ness of Confucianism. and Buddhism,
and Mohamedanism into the glorious
light of Christianity.
From the slumber of a thousand
years Corea has awakened at last;
weak and exhansted from former mal-
treatment, yet conscious that she is
now free from bondage, she stands in
triumph, supported by the friendly
arils of Japan, gazing into the glorious
dawn of civilization.
If Japan wins her final victory; if
Japan sees, as the indirect results of
her costly labor, enormous quantities
of gold flowing from the hitherto un-
touched mines of Corea; if she sees
China giving the merchants of the
west free access to her immense re-
sources, and the servants of the gospel
