WE have now found and rented a good brick building for our temporary headquarters, are moving our press into it, and will be at work there before the end of this week. This building is in the heart of the city, on one of the main streets. Our place is not so large as we shall need in the future, but will do this year very well. I certainly hope that we can have a building of our own by the time our lease is up on this place, one year from now.
We were glad to have Brother I. H. Evans with us for a few days on his trip to Europe. Brother and Sister F. H. De Vinney, of Japan, came with him, and spent a little time with us.
Because of a lack of the $300,000 Fund, or prospects of getting it this year, it seemed best to rent here in Seoul another year. But we must get Brother R. C. Wangerin located in the south this fall. It is about impossible for us to locate any one in this country unless we build a house for him, as there are no houses in which our missionaries can live. I do not believe in putting workers into Korean huts, where their lives are endangered. The houses here are not so good even as those in China, so you may be sure they are unfit for our workers to live in.
Our first annual camp-meeting will be held at Chinnampo, August 3-13. Brother DeVinney will be with us at that time, and we hope for a good attendance. I believe it will be a great help for our people here, and hope for a real spiritual revival. We are certainly thankful to hear how our people in the United States are taking hold in raising the $300,000 Fund. This means advancement in the fields all over the world.
