Chemulpo, 22nd February 1889. There is very little now to communiente. I am of opinion that Judge Denny will be U.S. Minister to China in March, for it is quite possible that the Chinese Government has, with a view to getting him out of Korea, induced the new President to give him the appointment.

But Science again inter- timefered with Genesis by showing that the carth was inhabited long ages before Adam's time. To this demonstration Theology vainly secks a reply. And, in matters purely doctrinal, the Churches continue to teach what neither clergy nor people can really believe. The burning place of eternal torment is one of the rocks upon which religion is founded, but the intelligence of the age utterly refuses to believe in any, such institution. In these, and many other matters, the clergy are forced to play a false and hypocri- tical part: teaching that which they themselves 16th February, 1889, We hear that Mr. W. C.

le
mighty difficulty in the way of any such reform. The churches refused to alter or abate anything until the errors which now need excision and the practices which require cor rection are so manifold that if any alteration in any particular were permitted, the door would be opened to a series of radical changes sufficient to utterly abolish the churches as they now appear. The very need of sweeping reform is the one thing that prevents any improvement being effected. Yet to the clerics themselves It is rumoured that by order of the Imperial there is a danger in a continuance of the Chiness Government, upon charges of treason or present slate of things, for, indifferent to constructive reason, a former Secretary of Yuen ere, yet it may be that there are sufcient the Chinese Resident in Seoul, has been seized are, yet it are sufficient in Shanghal and summarily dee pitated.
