Dear father and mother:
Seoul, Korea,
March 31, 1931.
This morning I was delighted with especially interesting letters
from you both, telling about the plans for' mother1s trip to
Memphis and. also your trip to the Imperial Valley.  I certainly
appreciated your full detailed accounts, and I could picture myself
going along with you..  I have long been hoping you would take that
trip or some other one over intofethe desert during the winter.
The dates have not come yet, but no doubt they will in a day or
two. Packages are always a little slower than letters.  I know
how good the fresh dates were that someone*(perhaps Mrs. Cheely)
gave you several years ago.  I believe you sent some to me at*
Princeton.  I don1 tf "be 11 eve I've had any since I came to Korea.
The boxes from Mrs. Stephenson and Mrs. Henderson have come, and I
have enjoyed liking them over with some others here. "-The calendars
will all go like flhot cakes'*, The student from the Yellow Sea
island immediately asked for several to send to the Sunday School
children who were the best students there. A lot of work was
represented in those two boxes: I hope the givers will feel repaid
in the realization of the pleasure they will bring to many. The
Department of Religious Education of the new church has asked several
times for any number of cardsll could send. They have three field
workers who are out almost all the time through the winter holding
institutes in the churches and establishing Sunday Schools and
Epworth Leagues.   §      -,*■
Last Thursday night I preached at the City Mission to a very good
crowd. Bro/Stokes spoke tofme a few da^rs ago hoping I would feel
like taking an appointment to the Mission at the next Conference
and give two or three nights a week to it, not preaching every time,
but helping as I could.    <
Sunday was an unusually full day. Sarly in the morning Kim Kwun Chay,
one of the teachers at the language school, now taking a position as
English teacher at Carolina Institute, came for me and took me to his
house for breakfafet. ^hey had a very excellent meal. Almost as
soon as it was over, it was time to go to Sunday School,  ^he English
class at Wondong church asked me to teach them^the two Sundays that
Miff Billingsley was gone to Peking.  Immediately following, I was
to preach at the worship service. I. spoke on the conditions for a.
revival *nd had especial liberty; some told me afterward that they
had been moved. Won moksa took me from there to dinner.
After leaving Won moksa I went to Supyokyo church, where I was to
lead the English service for Koreans and Chinese. Both there and at
Wondong church I played guitar solos. At.the afternoon
Stokes preached on "Seek ye first the kingdom of God' .
"o hear him: he is so simple and fresh and always has a

service Bro.
I always love

From there I had just exactly time enough to get to the foreign
church, where Dr. Hardie preached a good Palm Sunday sermon. From
there I hurried home for supper, end had to le*ve before I was quite
through to go to Chungdong church, the big M.E. church where I nave
preached twice before: i did not do so well there; I do not know why.
