RATE OF ExcHANGE. We are very thankful that exchange has righted itself. Indeed it has got quite low, and the rupee is at 1/3. It will be a gain to the Diocese if subscribers will send their gifts now instead of waiting till the end of the year, that the money may be sent out quickly. A draft was sent at end of June, the next should be at end of July. •

MICIIAELMAS. The prayers of our members are asked on the Feast of S. Michael and All Angels at the Altar, and at home, for all the work of the Diocese. We ask all incumbents whose parishes support the mission at all, to arrange opportunities.

ANNUAL MEETING. - The Annual Meeting was held in Sion College, on Thursday, June 16th, Bishop Knight presiding. Amongst those present besides the speakers were: (Present andPastmembersoftheStaff) Ven. C. F. Cory and H. C. Blandford; Revs. D. C. Atwool, F. C. P. C1arke, A. H. Finn, W. E. Hat·d­ castle, C. W. Lyne, H. A. Rawlinson; Misses Druitt, Peddar, 56 and Slocombe. (Members of the Conunittee) Rev. A. C. Bedford, Misses Lathom Browne, Gipps, Hodgkinson, Langton, and Knight. Also Revs. A. A. Braund, J. G; Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Mr. and Mrs. Farewell, Mr. F. Wood, :Mr. Bland, Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Jones, Misses Blyth, Martin and McCulloch. After Prayers,. the Secretary read the Bishop's Letter as follows:- '

BISHOPSCOURT, RANGOON. May 16th, 1921. Dear Mr. Cooke, I must send a word of greeting to the Annual ~eting. I have still fresh in my mind what a very happy gathering we had last year. I think I cannot send you a better wish than that this year may be as much like last year as possible. I wonder whom you will have with you as speakers. I hope Mr. Courtenay will be there refreshed after his voyage and walk across France. He deserves some refreshment and a very warm welcome from you all after his, seventeen years of work for S. Philip's. When he comes back we intend that he shall find a really fine Church to commemorate his long and devoted service. He will be glad to know that the last instalment of the Rs.60,000 raised by the Philippians for their new Church site was punctually paid on April 1st. I am now giving the order to the architect to proceed with the building. We have not got all the money necessary to complete it, but we have arranged to build the whole Church up to a certain height and then, if we still have not ~nough to finish~ to put on a temporary roof which we can afterwards raise. It will seat 500, and looks rather like a miniature S. Paul's with a central dome. Needless to say I am quite willing to receive contributions towards the building. Perhaps Mr. Clayton will be present also. He has done us excellent and most unselfish service, and we hope soon to see him restored in health among his boys at Moulmein. And Moulmein reminds me that Miss Burnett will very likely be present. It is to her and Miss Fairclough and their unceasing devotion and very hard work that our Girls' European School at Moulmein holds its own with any of our Schools for the character of the girls it turns out. In spite of the refusal of the Government to give any grant to it, these ladies have managed somehow to keep their J:ligh School going so that they may not lose their girls just at the age when they most need help. I hope, too, that Mr. Atwool may be there. If so, Moulmein will indeed be strongly represented. He again has done most devoted work for many years. Perhaps he will tell you of his 57 difficulties and hopes himself. Perhaps Mr. Neal who has so successfully built up the Mandalay school may also be present. There is just a chance, too, that Mr. Whitehead and Mr. C. R. Purser may get home in time for the meeting. Their ship is a slow one, but it left on the 8th of May, so it may arrive in time. Perhaps some of the old friends may be there, too ; Mr. Best, second only to Dr. Marks in the eyes of a large number of boys and men who have passed through S. John's, and the Archdeacon and perhaps some who have held that office before. I hope it may be possible for some of our staunch laymen who are on leave to be there too, perhaps Mr. Arbuthnot, to whom our Council and its Committees owe so much, and others who have helped us. Mr. Price writes from the South of France, but he may be in England by now; and perhaps Mr. Ellaby will be there also and Miss Druitt whom we are hoping to see back at Shwebo in the Autumn, and Miss Slocombe who has had to give up the thought of returning to the Diocesan School where she did such valuable work. Perhaps Mr. Caldicott, whom we hope to see back in renewed health in the Autumn, may also be present. I fear it is impossible for Mr. Colbeck to arrive in time. Well ! It sounds very delightful, and I wish I could be there myself. I must say a few words about the work here. First there is the anxiety about the school strike. The schools are now just about to re-open after the holidays. Will the Burmese boys and girls come back or not ? We do not know. Personally I expect most of them will. It seems to me that the non-co-operation movement has run its course. But the Burmese are often obstinate, and having once left our schools they may not return, but try to build up some sort of schools of their own. One of our schools has been closed. Mr. W. Purser has long thought that he could find in S. John's sufficient educational opportunities for the boys of his Mission, so the school at Kemmendine has been closed, and the building will be used for the extension of the remarkable work begun by him and carried on by Mr. Jackson among the b1ind. This last Sunday I have been ordaining Peter Kin Maung, son of our old friend Rev. George Kya Bin, of Mandalay, to the diaconate. Rev. P. Kin Maung has just finished his three years course at Bishop's College, Calcutta, and had previously passed through the Anglo-Vernacular High School, and read at the Government College, Rangoon for a year. He ha~ therefo~e had a really good education and has now been ordained. His father came from Maymyo, where he is engaged wit? Mr. C. Garrad in revising the Burmese translation of the Bible, and preached the sermon at his son's Ordination in Burmese. It 58

was an interesting service and gave good hope for the future. Let us remember the new deacon in our prayers. I am glad to hear that at least one new Chaplain for our Additional Clergy work is to come out in the Autumn. We want him badly and even with Mr. Caldi.cott returning we still need at least two more. Then we want more missionaries badly too. Mr. Edmonds wants a Brother at Mandalay. We want a colleague for Mr. W. Purser and another for Mr. Blencowe at S. John's. I do earnestly hope these may be forthcoming soon. Owing to Mr. Cotton becoming Vice-principal of the Diocesan Boys' School, we have no schoolmaster vacancy except at Moulmein Boys' School. The Boys' School at Mandalay we shall only keep on in future in the form of a hostel. I hope our project of a Girls' Friendly Society Hostel in Rangoon will not be forgotten. We hope to get on with this as soon as the new Cathedral Chaplain's house is built by the Government. · I ought to say one word about the great anxiety we passed through last year owing to the rise in exchange. At one time I feared we should have to close down work. But we issued our appeal and assessed the Diocese for the amount needed, and the appeal and assessment were generously responded tot so that the position was saved. For this we are most thankful. The S.P.G. also gave a special grant to meet the deficit, but before that came our missionaries' support was found from the money sent in in answer to our appeal. Now I am thankful to say the exchange has become quite normal again, so we are freed from this anxiety. Now I must not write more except to thank Bispop Knight, you, and all our friends for your continued prayers and help, but wish you all a very happy and successful meeting and a year of energetic work for the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ in Burma following on it. Your fellow-servant in Christ, R.S., RANGOON.

The Rev. A. 0. N. Lee said that it was just five years since he had sat on that platform. Those five years had been not only to him personally years of great experience and enjoyment, but also years of great activity and progress in the work of the Church in Burma. He was going to tell them very briefly what his work had been, and to touch on two aspects with 'vhich he had come into very close contact. Tavoy lay about 200 miles South of Rangoon, and another chaplaincy that went with it was Mergui, and they were associated with the mining industry. Both had sprung into prominence 59 through the discovery of wolfram, for which there had been a great demand. He had found a Church more or less in a state of repair, and that was all. The people were very interesting. They were mostly miners, and miners, he thought, were the most interesting people in the world. The work was difficult. The miner was not a man who went very much to Church, but he appreciated what was done for him, and showed it by the way in which he supported it financially. .Just when the work was beginning to settle down, and he was beginning to get it on to sound lines, the staff of clergy, owing to the war, was getting beautifully less, and the Bishop wanted him to come to Rangoon to run the Bishop's Office there, also to be Chaplain at Bassein, while still continuing to be visiting Chaplain to Tavoy and Mergui, and also visiting Chaplain at Prome. So he had a very busy time, considering that the Bishop's Office alone was one man's full work. Into that Office came all the threads of every part of the· Diocese and its work. He was Insurance Agent, Educa­ tional Authority, Missionary Secretary, Secretary of the Standing Committee, Inspector of Schools, and goodness knew what else. It was very interesting, because he had his hand on what was going on in all parts of the Diocese, and from that Office went out the funds for every part of the Diocese. One great work was the•care _of. the Anglo-Indian children. The Anglo-Indian problem was one which year by year became of more and more importance, and the future of the Anglo-Indian community both socialJy and economically depended on the mental, moral and spiritual outlook that was given them from the first, and that had to begin in the schools. In Burma, the Church had both day schools and boarding schools, for boys and for girls; but they still had great difficulties, esp~cialJy with the boys' boarding schools, because of the shortage of staff. The idea was that the schools should be carried on on the lines of the public schools at home. They could not do that unless they had a staff of Europeans, and they found themselves with three schools and two Europeans. There was something to pray about. The girls' schooJs' staffs were not so bad, though they, too, had a shortage. The boarding schools were bound up with the orphanage work, which included not only actual orphans, but also children abandoned by parents, or whose parents could not support them at home. All cases were gone into by the Board in Rangoon, and they had never refused a deserving case, but that was expensive. In 1919 they had a bumper collection, thanks to Mr. Price, for the Orphanage Fund, and when he (the speaker) had handed over the Chaplaincy in November, there was a sufficient balance in hand for the ·support of the children during the following year, even if no more money was received at all. He thought that the meeting would agree that that work, which was supported entirely by people in Burma, was worth doing. But the exchange went up and their income wen:t down, 60

and suddenly came a bombshell. S.P.G. had said that they would have to dock their usual grant of Rs.20,000 for that year~ and it looked as if they might have to do the same for many years to come, because there was no telling how long the exchange would remain at that rate. So strenuous efforts had to be made in Burma. They made an assessment scheme of every organisa­ tion in the diocese, and said " We ·want you to raise so much more than in the past." So instead of Rs.5,000 a year they had raised Rs.2,000 a month. The work of the old Church in Burma was full of vigour.

Bishop Copleston (late Metropolitan of India, said that he was really extremely gra·Leful for havi.ng been asked to speak at that meeting. He was very fond of Rangoon, and had watched it with great interest. He had been present at the consecration of the Cathedral, and followed the Magazine very constantly, and that, unless it was a mockery, meant prayer. One of the characteristics of Rangoon was that people stayed there. Also the workers at home had gone on, perhaps even longer than the missionaries. They were feeling all o\·er India the difficulties of Anglo-Indian Education, but they thought that things stood better in Burma than anywhere else. If the s('hools ~·ere well staffed, there would be something like an adequate provision made. He believed that something like five-sixths were hoarders. That was a very great advantage. He had read with very great delight the account of what had taken place at Prome last Christmas-the meeting of all the races with whom the European residents feasted and joined in social intercourse. The Missionaries had great difnculties to contend with. People talked of Burma, and thought that the people there were all Burmese. But there were Tamils, Karens, Chinese, and Chins, and those differences of race were one of the things that made the work exceedingly interesting and difficult. And he thought that it was a sign of encouragement that God had called them to-such a work, and that He who had begun that good work would see it through.

The Rev. R. H. Courtenay said that people seemed to think that the work of a missionary was something very wonderful and heroic. As a matter of fact they looked forward to going out or ·returning to Burma. ~issionaries were not splendid, nor particularly good, and not at all noble. Those who had been to Burma always wanted to go back, and would like their friends of the R.D.A. not to speak of them as heroes. They were quite happy in trying to do their work out there in God's vineyard. One had been out there without a break since 1909, and he did not want to come away or have any holiday. He was quite happy and felt quite well. The climate was not so 61

atrocious as it could be depicted. He had always heard his name associated with S. Philip's. His feeling .was that S. Philip's went on in spite of its Chaplain-that Mr. Pendleton's work still lived, and that that was the reason why there were so many worshippers at S. Philip's. There were still a few who remembered the splendid work of his predecessor, Mr. Lathom Browne. One of the secrets was that everything there could be \vas settled by laymen. They settled the times of the services in Church, whether there should be music, what the collections should be given to. They had the responsibility, and they felt that the Church was really theirs. Church life there was very quiet; there were very few organisations. At one time he had had some idea of getting work in England, but he had not been ten days in England before he felt that he could not do it-there were so many organisations in an English parish. It had been sometimes hinted .to him that the S. Philip's people had what was described as " itching ears,'~ and that. they came there to hear him preach, so he stopped preaching morning sermons for a year. The congregations increased (great laughter). It did not say much for his preaching, but it said a good deal for their worship.

The Rev. H. E. Price said that he had not the honour of being able to claim to be one of the missionary priests of the Diocese, but he was honoured in having a part in the side of the work that had been entrusted to him. It seemed to him that the first thing that any worker from Burma would like to say at that meeting was a very hearty "Thank you" to the R.D.A. for all that they had done and were still doing for them. What could they have possibly done without them, the members of the R.D.A. who so splendidly backed up their work at the base? He could not express what they owed to Bishop and Miss Knight, to Mr. Cooke, and all the R.D.A. Secretaries. The work could not possibly go on without them, and though he knew that they did not wish to receive any thanks, yet he thought that it was the duty of the workers to express their thanks from time to time. He wished that it was possible for them not only to hear about the work that they were helping, but to see something of it. Perhaps some day they might be able to send Mr. Cooke out for a cold weather trip. He would receive a very rousing welcome indeed. He would find there one of the happiest and most united dioceses in the world. They had their differences of opinion, but not in a very marked degree. The work was very varied. There were no less than eight languages in use; but in spite of difficulties of organisation they all looked on their work as one, whether English or Missionary. They felt that they were a little bit of the big family, trying to do the particular 62 bit of work to which they were called, and he could not help thinking that that was what the R.D.A. really felt as well, because was it not strikingly significant that of the three speakers that afternoon, not one was a missionary priest ? It was a great compliment to them, and implied that they had got the missionary spirit, and therefore it was perfectly safe to entrust to them the telling of the news from Burma. He was glad that he had not the honour of being a missionary, because he was free to say what he wanted to say about missionaries. If Mr. Cooke went to Burma he would find a band of missionary priests, ably backed by the women workers, who were second to none. And he believed that those priests would say-" 'iVe don't want luxuries but for God's sake give us the necessaries of life, and the where­ withal to carry on our work, for which you have sent us." He felt rather strongly on that point-that it was as if the Christian Church was guilty of sweating. He believed that it was dishonest to let people undertake work and not give them the necessaries of life and the means of carrying on their work. As to the opinion of others with regard to them, th~y had heard Mr. I"'ee tell something of the result of the special appeal that had been made last year, when the people had been told that the money was not forthcoming some of their oldest missionaries would have to go. He believed that the response was largely due to the high opinion that the people in Burma, both European officials and the native people had of the missionaries. Suppose that Mr. Cooke came to Shwebo. There he would find their veteran missionary, their ~heavy weight champion' of Upper Burma, Mr. Stockings. He was a very retiring fellow. He never said much, but went on quietly and steadily. Those who had seen All Saints', Shwebo, had seen one of the best Churches in the diocese. It had no horrible chairs, but was a real Mission Church, where the natives sqautted on the ground. Their missionaries were not going to establish little bits of the in Burma, but were out to develop the Catholic Church in Burma. There was the Girls' Schools, and he could speak of the quality of their cotton weaving; it seemed as though it would last for . ever. " 7hen he was stationed at Shwebo he had had the op­ portunity of meeting two of their Tamil priests who used to travel up the line to minister to the Tamil members of the congregation-two good men working from the centre of Christ Church, Mandalay. He did not feel that he could say much of Mandalay, except that he did not know anybody who had shown such pluck and determination as had been shown by the " Tinchester Brotherhood at Christ Church. They had gone on pegging away under great difficulties and graat discouragement. He did not known how long it was since anyone had gone out to join them. Dear Mr. Garrad! The greater the discouragement the more cheerful he got. He saw that the Bishop was asking for a priest to join the Winchester Brotherhood, and it was sad that such 63

excellent priests should have to wait so long before anyone had gone out to back them up. In Rangoon they got to the centre of their Burmese work at S. Michael's Kemmendine. There they would probably find the famous twins of S. Michael's and their more famous parents, ' Bill ' Purser and his wife. They might find Mr. Johnson, and his blind boys playi·ng football, which they played most wonderful. They had a bell on the ball. When they had seen Mr. C. R. Purser, they did not want quinine, he was quite tonic enough. He would have liked them to be able to peep in at the Cathedral on S. Michael's Day. They would have found there the most cheering and inspiring sight that he had ever seen in Burma, and that was the Cathedral full of native Christians, ' Bill ' Purser celebrating at the altar, with on~ native priest as deacon and another as sub-deacon. The people went through their Eucharist without any help from choir or or·gan. It had been arranged that at their festival they should spend one day at the mother Church, and they came from all parts of Upper Burma. Afterwards they could be seen tucking into their curry and rice, and those who were giving them their food, and waiting on them and washing up for them were English people and Anglo­ Indians. That was the delightful thing. They were waiting on their Burmese brethren, and Mr. Purser said that when they went back to their jungle homes they told their own people about it, and he believed that that had done them more good than the services in Church. It was that spirit that was wanted to-day. People were tired of sermons. They wanted to see Christianity in action, and he thought that that was being seen more and more by those who were doing the work in Burma. He thought that the most serious loss to the diocese in the last year had been the coming home of Mr. Whitehead. He begged the R.D.A. to realise that they in Burma were leaning on them, and could not do without them. When the difficulties came it was a great comfort always to know that there was behind them a body in the old country to back them up and remember them in their prayers.

The Chairman said that he would like to call their attention to the fact that they had heard nothing of the work of the Government Chaplains, but they had had a very good representa­ tive of them in Mr. Price. The Cathedral in part was the product of the Chaplains. The arrangements and" the services depended on them, and they made it possible that at the mother Church there should be that delightful incident of the Burmese Christians' service. Those who were fighting against the evils of ignorance and the evils of civilization were the Chaplains and the European Laymen. But the number of indigenous clergy was growing nobly. The son of a Burmese priest had been made a deacon. 64

Never had there been a time when the differences between class and class and native and native had been more acute, but there could be no doubt that obedience to our Lord was the sure foundation of peace.

Major Chambers moved the following Resolution :­ "From the R.D.A. at its Annual Meeting to the BishoP of Rangoon and all the other Workers in the Diocese, British, Burmese, Karen, Tamil, Telugu, Chin, Chinese and Nicobarese­ our affectionate greeting in the Lord. You are much in our thoughts and prayers. Hold fast, and may God bless you in your service." He said that as the only laymen among the speakers he would like to say how glad he was to have had an opportunity of seeing the work during his stay in Burma. It had made a great difference to his ideas about, and attitude towards, foreign missions. He thought that the attitude of the laity and some of the clergy at home was due largely to lack of imagination and lack of vision. But out there it was brought home to a man. He had had the pleasure of travelling with Mr. Whitehead,. to Nicobar. He ventured to think that the view of a layman on missionary work might be useful, and lately he had been speaking a good deal for S.P.G., and giving lantern lectures,. and had done what he could in that way for Burma, and been able to tell people at home what splendid fellows the m1sswnanes were.

A pleasant time of social intercourse was spent befor~ and after the meeting.

The collection amounted to £12 8s. Od. In connection with this meeting, celebrations of the Holy Communion were held in the following Churches, the collection being given at those marked with an asterisk.':' Canterbury Diocese.-*S.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT.

The Rev. N. K. Anderson has moved from Shwebo to the Cathedral, his place being taken by Rev. J. G. Lister.

The Rev. Bruce Kerr has come from Port Blair to Rangoon Cantonment.

The Rev. E. H. Dunkley, on Military Duty, and Rev. G. A. R. Thursfield, at Dagshai have now changed places.

The Rev. "\tV. H. Cowper Johnson is at Meiktila.

The Rev. J. A. Colbeck has finished the year for which he volunteered, and has returned home. The Rev. G. S. Clack has gone from Bassein to replace him at S. Matthew's, Moulmein.

The Rev. J. Smith is in charge of S. Philip's till Mr. Courtenay's return.

The Rev. T. W. Hogarth has gone from S. Philip's to S. Augustine's, Moulmein, as Mr. Atwool is on furlough.

The Rev. W. F. Cotton has been transferred from S. Matthew's School, Moulmein, to Rangoon to be Vice-Principal of the Diocesan Boys' School. 66

Miss Rawson and Miss Linstead are at All Saints Girls' School, Shwebo.

Kanhalu Mission is closed and Mi~s Grace Watson is helping 'Miss Patch at Mandalay. The illness and subsequent return home of her sister necessitated this arrangement. Miss Watson will be coming home for furlough in the Spring, and would be glad to get in touch with a nurse (not necessarily .certificated) who would travel about to the outstations near Mandalay. SEAMEN's MISSION. Mr. Harold G. Martin has taken the place vacated by Mr. Doherty who is at home preparing for Ordination and living .and working mainly at the Mayo Marine Institute.

A VETERAN'S RETIREMENT. The Rev. G. Whitehead joined the Mission in 1888 and went to Mandalay where on the return home of the Rev. G. H. Colbeck in 1889, he became head of the Mission. The Rev. John San Baw, our only Burmese Priest, then was his collea~ue. In 1895, he was transferred to Rangoon to take charge of S. John's College. In 1899 he began his Chin work from Prome, and though called to take charge of Kemmendine about the end of 1900, kept in touch with it. His work at Kemmendine till his furlough in 1906 included the charge of the important Divinity ·Class for Catechists. In 1908 he was back again at Prome where he remaiued till 1914, except for some visits to Car Nicobar. Although he had retired from the Diocese, the urgent need called him bae:k in 1918 to Car Nicobar and Prome. Untiring jungle work, and translational work have been the great characteristics of his service. In the former he was unrivalled, -and in the latter he has left lasting impress on the .Mission by his labours in Burmese, Chin, and Nicobarese. His last few months before his return this summer were taken up with visits to his beloved Chins, and literary work, (I) A Nicobarese Dictionary which is subsidized by the Andamanese Government, (2) the preparation of a Gospel in Southern Chin which will be published by the Bible Society, and (3) a voluminous " Life of our Lord Jesus Christ," in Burmese, which it is hoped will be published under the auspices of the Representative Council of Missions. This is the crown of a series of devotional books given to the Bur~ese Christians. . We wish Mr. Whi~ehead many years of useful service in England, and of happy home life of which he has been deprived .all this. last, and part of the previous term of service. WonK AMONG THE DEAF. In April, 1920, Miss Chapman and Miss Walden, arrived in Burma to start work for the Deaf Mutes. The Thankful Hearts League at horne had raised sufficient for passages and beginnings, and still continues its support. Its Secretary is Miss Harcourt, 49, High bury Park, London, N. 5. An Endowment Fund has already reached £1,000 and the Government has promised help for the Training College for teachers. Already there is a small school of Burmese, Tamils,. Europeans, Chinese, Karens, and Talaings. This work is independent of the Diocesan system, but is Missionary work of our Church and must react for good.

TWO APPEALS.

RANGOON CATHEDHAL. The Bishop and Diocesan Counci] have issued an appeal for the completion of the Cathedral and for a new Organ. Among the items of work proposed are completion of panelling ofwalls (apout two fifths remain to be done), marble floor, black and white, for Presbytery and Baptistry, grey for nave aisles~ west end and north chapel. Repairing interior walls of ambulatory and vestry, renewing and colour-washing whole of interior plaster also two stained glass windows in chancel, a pulpit, a font. These might be individual gifts. There are no doubt a good many people now at home who would like to help. Donations should be sent to the General Secretary.

MouLMEIN BuRMESE MissioN. This Mission has always been understaffed, and its develope­ ment has been seriously hampered. · It has a Church-S. Augustine's, four schools (one for the blind) with orphanages for Burmese and Chinese boys and girls. Lately there has been. a forward movement. Six years ago the Mission had only one Catechist-a B1,1rman. Now there are four Burmese of whom one has been ordained, one Tamil~ one Chinese, and two Karen. Four more Burmese are in training at the Divinity School. Two out-stations about forty miles north and south of l\Ioulmein respectively, have been opened under Catechists, and there are many other villages where "there are already Christians or where work might be started. 68

There is, however, only one English Priest to work the Mission at Moulmein, superintend schools and orphanages, conduct services, perform pastoral duties for Burmese, Tamil, and Chinese Christians, and travel about the district helping the native workers to evangelize two and a half million people. An appeal is put forth with the approval of the Bishop and S.P.G. for a fund to support a second English Priest. Rs.2,000 has been raised in Burma the last two years. This will be used to adapt and furnish part of S. Augustine's Parsonage for the new man and £2,000 is wanted for his passage and support. The Rev. D. C. Atwool has received the following sums:­ £ s. d. S. Leonard, Newland 3 0 0 Holy Trinity, Malvern (Girls' Bible Class) 3 9 A. C. At \Vool, Esq. 1 0 0 Miss vV. A twool 5 0 0 Miss Curtis .. 1 1 0 Eastnor 4 10 4

£14 15 1

Donations mav be sent to the Rev. D. C. Atwool, S. Just, Malvern, or to· th~ General Secretary. Mr. Atwool will be glad of opportunities of speaking and preaching for the Mission.

HOME NOTES.

The Rev. J. F. Mozley, B.A., late Exhibitioner of Exeter College, Oxford,. and Lichfield Theological College, Assistant Master of Brentwood Grammar School, Essex, has been accepted by S.P.G. for missionary work in the Diocese of Rangoon, and wilf be going out this Autumn.

The Rev. A. A. Braund, A.K.C., Curate of Bishops '"'Taltham, Hants., will be going out in September for A.C.S. work, and the Revs. J. G. Caldicott, R. H. Courtenay and Mr. Clayton return soon after. · Miss Druitt will also be returning this Autumn. 69

LADY WoRKER l''Olt BISHoP's HoME. !Hiss Sellwood, the Superintendent of the Orphanage for Anglo-Indian Girls, is due to go on furlough about the end of the year. The Bishop \vishes to hear of a lady who woulrl go out for five years; to take Miss Sellwood's place temporarily, and then go on to other work.

CAR NICOBAR DISAPPOINTMENT. The l\ferlical Mission Priest, who we hoped would go to Car Nicobar, cannot do so, and the Mission there is in a parlous condition, especially as Mr. Hart is away on furlough. We want in his place a married priest, or two young men to ·work together--one or both with some knowledge of medicine. We could arrange for a course at Livingstone College. There is a Hospital provided, and a house at Port Blair for the missionary's wife if necessary.

tANTERBURY DIOCESE. The General Secretary gave a lantern lecture on "Work in Rangoon," at S. Augustine's Croydon Parish Hall, on January 26th. There were a good number of K.M. members and several adults. The latter met early for tea arranged by Mrs. Rickard and friends. The Rev. E. Moore, Vicar, presided. All were much interested in the. address, and enjoyed the pictures well shown by electric lantern. £3 2s. 6d. was the financial result for our general fund. The K ..M. branch in this parish supports a scholar at S. Mary's School, Rangoon.

ELY DIOCESE. The General Secretary gave a lantern lecture on "Work in Rangoon," in the School at Broughton, Hunts., on April lith, to a crowded audience. The Rev. H. P. D. Pinhev, Rector, presided. Much interest was aroused, and £1 was w collected.

On April 14th, Mr. Cooke gave a lantern lecture on "Work in Mandalay," at Oakham. The children here support a scholar at Mandalay. The Rev. J. H. Charles, Vicar, presided.

Owing to a severe snmvstorm which continued almost to the time of meeting there were very fe"· present. The Rev. W. W. Colley, Vicar, kindly worked the lalltern. Collection 15.'-.
