Dear  father* and mother:
Seoul, Korea,
February 13, 1935.
laast night after preaching I came home,
reaching here about 11 'o'clock.  The family were^waiting for me,
hustled me into the warm room and soon had a cup of warm milk and
some pastry and an apple for me. Han moksa had come out to the
village where jl was preaching/in the.middle of the afternoon yes-  ;
terday to bring my traveling^case back.^He thought it would be too
much of aiload for me to carry both case and guitar.  I could have
done it easily, as neither was very heavy; but.he felt better knowing I did not.have much to carry when I c*me. When I left the village
several went part of the way with me to the end of the car line, and
two went all the way, carrying my guitar. • Sol had to carry It on^y
from West Gate, where I got off the car, up the hill to our house.
We had a good week. Rather, only five days,
having started last Wednesday.  About ten came out every morning for
daybreak prayer, ten or fifteen for Bible study each morning, and at
night we began with ten or twelve, but Saturday night, I believe it was
about forty were present. 'It is^a group only a few years old, and
they have had several setbacks.  But there are some good people among
them: and there were several who never missed a service-
One day now to rest at home, and then tomorrow
morning I expect to take"an early train for the south.  A missionary
at Kongju is to meet me there and take me to one ^of his churches for
a week s Bible class and revival, and another church nearby has asked •
' me for the week following.  I shall return to Seoul March 4. After
a few days- rest I have another meeting in thetchureh near Ohosen
.Christian College.  Toward the middle of April I -am to go again to
-Kongju and hold a -meeting-in the town church.  That takes me right up
L to Conference.  If.I golto Songdo, I shall have to stay in the city,
at least.for some time, until I get^acquainted with the situation.
l€ ,H: ';•*      "^he people up north where I was last week have
written, following-up spoken requests, for other meetings within a
few months.  Itcannot make any promises until after Conference; but I
would enjoy being with them.  They are very fine people.  The northern
-Koreans are lovely to work with;>they respond most readily to the
gospel.  This^time when I was up there, I learned that the country   - ^
' places I visited with Dr. Ghlsholmfmy second summer in Korea, while  ■■' %
I was vacationing in Syenchun, were^near the;church where I was holding
'these meetings. .And on the'way backjto the railraad station, I suddenly felt a sense of something familiar.  I asked the name^of the place,
1 andi-was told it was BlackrAnvil, which confirmed my impression.  It w^s
. the'very church I had preached in nearly ^ive years ago.  It is mentioned
in my Blast booklet. '■    -■ *■■  'g   I      ...

and I could be:1 close by to help, or-that you could have somebody to
help in the house and on the place, or that you did not have so many
burdens to carry; but afteriall,■ + there is much also to be thankful for.
