The roofs are about one foot thick, and they will not leak unless it comes a steady rain lasting for a long period of time. The floors of the houses are made of dried mud and waste away very fast if they are walked on with shoes; therefore, the people leave their shoes at the door and go in the house barefooted. As a rule these houses are built so closely to gether that there is not enough space for a man to walk between them. There are so many houses in Seoul that it is amazing how the people really know where they live. Almost all of the houses are built on the same style, and thus they look very much alike. It is customary among the Ko rean people to have the immediate family and close relatives live close together. The head of the family buys a section of land and builds a house. As the family increases they build more houses. They build a With a shrug of his shoulders and a deep exhalation of breath he be gan his address by reading several verses of scripture. The subject of his address was made known to the group, but quickly passed into the depths of their minds, as he re vealed his good humor by relating several memories of past experien ces. Quickly he darted back and forth around the rostrum, momen tarily forgetting the microphone which was in front of him. Here is a man who looks old, but yet looks young; who seems for getful, but yet knows and remem bers all; who may appear to be an ordinary man, but in actions and speech is incomparable. Whether in a classroom, in a church, or be hind the flash of his battered old camera, he is always the same. His smile will win you; his charm will entice you, and his wealth of knowledge will always be a marvel. We shall never forget this nimble, lively man from Mars Hill College. Bill Morrow wall around their section of land closing it out from the rest of the people. It is nothing unusual to see a funeral procession on the streets in Seoul. They do not use vehicles to carry the corpse, but have several men carrying the body. They do not lament over a death; instead they have a party. Professional mourners are hired to lead the procession, and they are singing and dancing all of the time. The fcdy is carried up on a high mountain and buried there. Friends and relatives put food on the grave instead of flowers. They have the idea that perhaps the dead person might get hungry and if such a situation arises then he would have food. Seoul is not the largest city in the world by a considerable margin but it is a very busy city, and it is a very interesting city to visit.
