1st.(2nd of 5th Moon). Tuesday. Fair-hot-breezy.

This morning received two letters, one from Dr. Allen of Seoul and another from Reverend G. Appenzeller. Dr. Allen says, on the 22 May, that Mr. Mullensteth was to leave for Shanghai right away. This same man was reported to leave Chemulpo on or about the 3rd May. He is now in the Corean Telegraph Office. Mr. Appenzeller tells me that Mr. M. would not start for the convention unless his expenses were paid in advance.
4
Dr. Y.J. Allen, in a very helpful talk, said this morning;
5
1. What China needs now is a man. Sheng tautai, the Director General of the Railroad, is shrewd enough but his character is such that nobody would trust him.
6
2. So far as I can see there is no reason why Corea could not or should not beat China in the race of progress. I advise you to write a book calculated to stir up the patriotism of your nation by showing what great men have made of small states. If you have any means of support freeing you from anxiety, I would advise you to retire to a quiet place, devoting your time to giving your people some high ideals through writing.
7
3. Many a people seems to think that to be useful one must always be busy. They look more to the quantity rather than to the quality of work.
8
4. Cheap work is, in the long run, as wasteful as expensive. Take, for instance, some of the literary works in which tens of thousands of dollars have been wasted by missionaries during the years past. They employ cheap and incompetent writers, hence their works, when out, are not worth the paper.

In a letter to my Darling, Mrs. Reid, Seoul, says; "I wish Mr. Yun would become a preacher." Yes, I would be very happy if I had zeal enough to become a preacher. Without a thorough consecration to the service of Christ, without a burning enthusiasm for the spread of the Gospel, without a sincere love for the souls of men, without an absolute faith in the doctrines of Christianity-without these qualifications it would be sheer madness to enter a Mission work.
10
To me the prejudices of heathen unbelievers seem less unbearable than the unintentional but the matter-of-fact "bossism" of missionary superiors. Once become a "native preacher," I would have to surrender to a missionary not only my time and service but my freedom of opinion and of conscience as well, compelled to preach the doctrines and dogmas of the Mission whether I believed in them or not. I can hardly imagine a situation more degrading or more painful than that in which one has to preach the sacred doctrines of religion not necessarily through conviction but under a sort of pious compulsion.
11
However, what a joy it would be to me if I could consecrate myself to the service of the Lord through an inborn enthusiasm!

4th. Friday. Hot 97°during the day.
 
14
This being the famous 5th day of the 5th Moon in the Chinese calendar, everybody seems to be in a festival mood. At an early hour the boatmen on the creek beat gongs and fired crackers in the most orthodoxical loudness to scare away evil spirits. Noise is at the bottom of every Chinese institution-of religion, of literature, of warfare, of government, of morality. This Flowery Kingdom suffers from laudful of high sounding nonentities from the "Son of Heaven" down to the monotonous cracker.
15
Spent the day with my Darling. Awfully hot from 12 to 10 p.m. Came to my room impatient, fretful and bitter. My Darling has to sleep with the two children on one bed in a hot night like this-all because I have to wait here for the confounded "official instructions."

6th. Sunday. Breezy-pleasant.
 
18
At 3 p.m. went to the Astor Hall to see the Annual Meeting of Christian Endeavors. The house was full and I had to come away at 3:30, being unable to stand long.
19
In the March number of the Far East or the Kokuminno Tomo, Mr. Hitomi, in a French article, goes for a Spectator correspondent who committed the sacrilege of describing Japanese as light and vain. After having expatiated on the Japanese ability of assimilation, Mr. H regrets "very much" that Japanese should be classed among the Asiatic races. At the close of the paper the same writer acknowledges the backwardness of his nation compared with Europeans and with a philosophic look, says, "We(Japanese?) consider mankind as a whole and not as races; we make no great differences between the white and the yellow races." Another word, this philosophic Japanese is indignant to be regarded an Asiatic wherever Japan has some merits to claim, yet considers racial differences as nothing when Japan has any reason to be looked down on. He wants racial discriminations where Japanese are dishonored thereby, but he dose not want racial discriminations where Japanese are dishonored thereby.
20
A fine refutation of the charge that Japanese are vain!
21
According to this writer, Japan showed great humanity in not annexing Corea. In my opinion, Japan showed greater humanity in retroceding Lio Tong and the greatest humanity in butchering the Queen of Corea!

9th. Wednesday. Rainy.
 
24
This morning received a letter from Dr. Reid of Seoul, dated May 24. He tells me that a telegram was sent me on the 23rd May c/o Dr. Y.J. Allen. Went to the Telegraph Offices to look for this missing message but nothing to be found.
25
According to Dr. Reid Mr. Brown refuses to give Mullensteth the traveling expenses saying that his(Mr. M's) coming to Shanghai would not be necessary for the convention. This, somehow or other, reminds me of Captain Bohr's remark that if Mr. M. were to come to the convention, he would not be an acceptable person, as he had broken off his engagement with the Chin Fley. Administration on a false pretext. It may be, I suspect, on this score, Mr. M. dose not want to come and Mr. Brown is helping him out by refusing the traveling expenses.
26
Almost decided to go by the Nagato Maru which leaves here on the 12th inst. Mailed a letter to Dr. Allen, Seoul.
 
 

5. 6월 10일

28
10th. Thursday. Steamy-cloudy.
 
29
Took tiffin with Mr. Y.I. Min. Called on Mrs. Allen to borrow $ 70.00. I know Mr. Min is the man to whom I should apply for a favor of this sort, but I know better that he is not the man who would show me, or anybody, a favor of this sort.
30
The S.S. China is expected to arrive here tomorrow morning. This keeps me from making any positive arrangement for departure, as the Nagasaki mail might bring something from Seoul necessitating my further stay here.
31
Took supper at Dr. Allen's. In a little talk in his study, the Doctor said:
32
"I take a great deal of interest in your country because I know you. Corea will sooner or later become the railroad thoroughfare between China, Japan, Russia. Time will come when you may see the Moscow or St. Petersburg trains standing in the Fusan railroad Station.
33
"China, Japan and Corea should unite for their common interest and keep out Russia."
34
"If I were you, I would have the biggest hobby that of stirring up your people to realize the great possibilities within their reach. Corea has, say, ten millions of people. Well, the use of machinery would triple or quadruple that number. That is, ten millions of people will appropriate to themselves the earnings of, say, forty millions."
35
"Japan aspires to be the England of the Far East. Why shouldn't Corea aspire to be the Belgium of Asia?"

37
11th. Friday. Fine.
 
38
Up at 6 a.m. In a nervous suspense as I must make positive arrangements for departure but that I have to wait for the mail. (8 a.m.)
39
Went to the Japanese P.O. at 10, 11 a.m. again at 1. The Japanese mail brought nothing for me. Decided to go, and on my way to the ticket office a telegram from Dr. Allen, Seoul, met me saying I may come!
40
Went aboard at 9 p.m. Just before leaving Hong Kow I took little Allen to show him to Dr. Allen. He gave the little fellow $5.00.
41
Misses Richardson, Gary, E-fong and her sister came to the boat to bid us farewell. Also Mr. Loehr.
 
 

7. 6월 12일

43
12nd. Saturday. Fine.
 
44
On account of mosquitoes, bugs etc. had a poor rest last night. At 8 a.m. the Nagato Maru left Shanghai. Besides us, there are in the cabin, Mr. Maunix, an American newspaper reporter, and a Danish couple. Find the Nagato the best boat going between Shanghai and Corea.
 
 

8. 6월 17일

46
17th. Thursday. Fine. Chemulpo
 
47
Left Chefoo at 4 p.m. on the 15th and expected to arrive at Chemulpo yesterday noon, but a dense fog took care of that and we had to drop anchor among little islands for nearly 10 hours. Came into the harbor between 11 and 12 p.m. last.
48
It was nearly 11 a.m. when we went on shore. Went straight to the Steward Hotel. Met Reverend Jones of the M.E. Mission in the hotel. He came back from America a month or two ago. He informed me that the Queen's funeral was postponed to the 8th Moon O.S.
49
Called on but missed Mr. Yi Chai Jung, the "Kam-ri" of Chemulpo. His secretary, who is the acting Kam-ri, told me that the agricultural implements which Mr. Min Yong Huan had ordered from Russia, against my earnest protests, have been rusting away in the customs go-downs.
50
As the river steamer leaves for Riong-san tomorrow a.m. at 4, we had to come on board at 8 this p.m. in order to get the first class cabin, so called.
 
 

9. 6월 18일

52
18th. Friday. Fine. Seoul
 
53
Left Chemulpo about 4 a.m. The scenery on both sides of the river very fine. Reached Riong-san at 9. Our servant and Yi Chong Soon met us. Came to Dr. Reid's. Received Dr. H.N. Allen's letter accompaning a check for $117.00 which the Korean government had asked him to send to me.
54
Called on Dr. Allen and Appenzeller.
 
 

10. 6월 19일

56
19th. Saturday. Fine.
 
57
Visited Yi Wan Yong, Yi Yun Yong. Also Yi Ha Yong, who gave me following information:
58
1. In January(?) last, there was discovered in Tokio a plot whose object was to blow up the rooms which His Majesty and the Prince occupied in the Russian Legation. Mr. Yi, as the Corean Minister at Tokio, knew of it, and instead of alarming the Corean court by useless reports, went about quietly causing the Japanese Cabinet to put down the incipient conspiracy.
59
2. When Mr. Yi returned to Seoul in April, the Corean government was agitated by the question of Russian instructors. Yi did his utmost to advise the King against the measure. Yi Ha Yong also broke up Waeber's designs of getting into the Household as its advisor by showing the King the probable danger of conflict between Waeber and Speyer, in case the latter should take charge of the Russian Legation.
 
60
At 4 p.m. went to the Palace, but could not obtain an audience. It was distressing to see the carryings-on of the eunuchs and of Yi Chai Soon. Everybody in the Palace crowd seems to feel that this is his last chance (Amen!) for devilment. From the Minister of Household down, all the hangers-on reflect on their dirty faces greed, treachery and meanness with which their hearts are possessed.
61
Yi Chai Soon, "the Hog!" sent a messenger to Yi Kim Pai, a rich man, demanding $3,000.00 to pay the work-men now employed in building some tomfoolery edifice. I suspect that Yi Chai Soon is the direct descendant of one of the swines into which the legion of unclean spirits "entered."
 
 

11. 6월 20일

63
20th. Sunday. Fine.
 
64
Dr. Reid opened his chapel this morning. Thus, with only a mud wall between the properties of Drs. Scranton and Reid, there are two chapels. What a waste of energy and money through denominational rivalries and divisions! To my doubts as to the wisdom of opening a church right next to the flourishing work of Mrs. Scranton, Dr. Reid gave me the assuring reply that "it is absolutely necessary to have a church of our own." Of course Dr. Reid has had a missionary experience of 20 years; he ought to know better than I.
65
Had an audience. His Majesty appeared as gracious as ever.
 
 

12. 6월 24일

67
24th. Thursday. Fine.
 
68
In the p.m. moved into our new home. Happy to see my Darling pleased with our little property. We thank God to be in our own house.
