At Yen Chow Fu, in the same diocese, where many
thousands of Chinese pilgrims resort annually to visit the
shrine of Confucius, a hospital is being built. A doctor
has already been sent out to take charge of the work, and
until the hospital is ready is doing dispensary and itinerat-
ing work.
In Corea, the S.P.G. helps to support St. Luke's Hospital
at Chemulpo, where an English doctor is in charge, assisted
by his wife, who is a trained nurse, with another nurse and
dispenser. Some Corean boys have been trained to help
in the wards, where there is accommodation for thirty-six
patients. The numbers treated in the hospital during the

year were 305, while over 5000 out-patients were seen at
the dispensary.
At Ay In Hospital, Chin Chun, a village of two or three
hundred houses, a doctor and an evangelist are doing very
good work amongst patients who come from villages often
over forty miles away. In the hospital there are no beds,
as the patients sleep on the hot floor in wadded quilts, the
hospital being made as much as possible like a native
house. During 191 2, 11,105 patients attended the dis-
pensary, and there were 133 in-patients. The evangelist
visits the patients after they have been seen at the
hospital in order to impress upon them what they have
heard of the Gospel.
At Paik Chun, a small place on the coast, medical work
has just been begun by a woman doctor who went out in
1910 to help in the work at Chemulpo. It is hoped that a
nurse may be sent out to help her within the next few
months.
