CooKE, I am horrified to find that two long tours in july and August have bl'Oilght me to a very late date for a letter to you, which I· like to send off at all events quarterly, Since !last wrote, we havefdone a good many things that are interesting. In the first place there was a visit to T avoy and Mergui. We "'ent first to Mergui, the centre of the pearl fisheries of the world and a great place for rubber growing. We only had' time for two services in the little church tliere, and then had to go away by steamer to Tavoy. Even so, we only got to the anchorage at the mouth of the Tavoy River at mid-day on Saturday and, in order to ·be in ·time for service ·on ::mnday, we had to leave the steamer in a very dirty cattle boat, with a correspondingly dirty tar:R_~ulin propped up on our luggage to keep the sun off us. We dlrifted up on the tidle some way and then halted while the tide ran down, and then got another open boat and drifted up by moonlight the . rest of the way, getting in to Tavoy after midnight. We had nice services at T avoy. The little church was well filled but we had to wait till the followilliJI Saturday before we ~ould get on to Rangoon. I have, as you kn.ow, applied for a new A.C.S. Chaplaincy to ·be sanctioned for these two places. I am certain they need it badly, and there is quite work enough for a chaplain in the two places. It would be an interesting ~ost for an enterprising man. T avoy has a mining population 397 which is not an easy one to deal with. Since our visit, Govern .. ment has agreed to pay Rs.150 towards the stipend of this Chaplaincy, and I have asked that a man may be sent. I have at present to trust that the rest of his stipend will be raised by oubscriptions in the place. I believe it will be if the right man comes. Perhaps some of our friends may know the right sort of man. He must be unmarried-able to get on well with roughish men, broad-minded, with real devotion to his work and plenty of determination. · Our next tour was to the Andamans and Car Nicobar. just .before going I had an interview with Colonel Douglas, tlie :superintendent of the penal settlement and chief commissioner of the lslando. He told me of his plan for developing the islands and f Another expedition was to M&ymYo for the consecration of the new church. This was a very happy event. Archdeacon Cory has worked hard to get the money. and there is no debt on the elristing building. We have still the tower to build and suitable furniture to get. But there the church stands-a thoroughly well built seemly place of worship for the place which is, for a large part of the year, the centre of the Govern ment of the Province. Yet another tour has been to Meiktila and the cil-fields and other places on the river. At Meiktila, to our great sorrow, we found Mr. Price so ill that there was nothing for it but. to get him away as soon as possible. He started cff and got as far as Bombay. But then war broke out, and he has returned and is, I am thankful to say. looking very much l;>ett.er. He was able to see a specialist on the complaint hom which he was suffering at Calcutta, and we hope the advice he got may be the means of freeing him from it altogether. The chaplaincy that embraces the oil-fields we also found vacant, as Mr. Campbell has been transferred to the Diocese of Laho.re. This is a sad shortage, but it will be made up when Mr. Anderson is appointed Government Chaplain, -or when Mr. Cowper-Johnson returns from leave at the end of September. But that, again, will leave the Moulmein Chaplaincy vac.•nt. and we are in sore need of men to fill the vacancy th1lt mu.~t occur if I send one of the present staff to Car Nioobar. Please pray and do anything you can to send us men for these post:s. I have had a good welcome from the oil-well drillers rather a rough lot of Americans. They came to service in tl.eir club and gave liberally for the general fund of the Diocese. Here again a new Chaplain has been sanctioned, and Rs.l50 a month provided by Government towards the Chaplain's stipend. This is a call for yet another man of the right sort to deal with a thoroughly tough job. We are now just back from a tour in the Delta, where Mr. Thursfield is doing excellent work. But I must close this letter as the mail is going. How is the war going to affect our work? That, I suppose, is what many others besides ourselves are asking. At present, I suppOse we must ilot venture to take any great steps forward. When such enormous sums have to be spent on destructive work, I fear that construction cannot progress much. But I do earnestly hope that work will not be allowed to go back. and that all our friends will pray and work that these lhreaten ing vacancies may be filled. Yours truly in Christ, R. S. RANGOON. 399_ ~EWS FROM THE FRONT, An anonYmous donor ha:s pre~ent~d a beli to th~ Cathedral in memory o.f the late ' Archdeacon Chard who spem -a -con siderable part o.f his ~ervice in Burma at the Cathe The Ordfnation of Mr. Joshua to the Diaconate took place in the Cathedral .on Trinity Sunday, J.une 7th. It was a -very happy service;.. one littin11 feature about it . being that the Bishop chose Kev. 5. V. Jesudason to be his chaplain on tlie occasion. There was a large congregation, both of English and ofTami! people. The Epistle was read by Mr. Jesudas0 n, the Gospel by Mr. Joshua, both in Tamil, the rest of the ser vice being •endered in English. In the evening, when the Bishop preached at the Cathedral, he took Mr. Joahua with him as his Chaplain. On his return to Maymyo, Rev. J. 5. Joshua w~ welcoT!!_ed at a special reception by the T ami! Christians of -the station. An address was read by Mr. Dawson, and a gold cross pre, sented to him, in appreciation c>f , the faithful service wf:tic:h he had rendered as a catechist at Maymyo during eight years, and ae a token o.f the good wishes "o.f all on the occasion of his admission to Holy Orders. ·· · · · 5. PETER's MtsstoN, ToUNcoo. The new school year has begun, and we are able to record an increase o.f ten in the number of Karen hoy boarders, and that in spite of the fact that parents are now · requir~ to pay a boarding .fee of Rs .1 0/ -· This is little enough-oii!y. abOut a quarter o.f the cost of food-but it is better than nothing, and it is a healthy sign that parents are willing to pay some thing more than school .fees and the c- of cl_othes·· and._ books. Only orphan boys or the sons of very poor parents who are specially recommended by the native clergy, are received free. 400 Our two Karen deacons are bein~t_ prepared for Priest's Orders. Both of them have been in Deacon'e Orders for a considerable number of years; one of them, Tah Ber Ber, was ordained ~f· Bishop Strachan in 1900, the other, Maw Lay, ~y Bishop Knight in 1905, and they are both men of exemplary Christian life. More priests are very badly needed; there is only one native priest for the whole of the district covered by this mission, and he is advanced in years and unequal I<> the constant travelling which a priest in charge of a hill district has to do. Another event which we record with much thankfulness is the sendinl!l of three Catechists to the Divinity School at Kern·· mendine to prepare for Diaconate. Only one student has gone from here to Kemmendine since 1907, when two of our students, after finishing their course there, went straight to Thomas Pellako and •accepted catechist's work under him in Kleebo villages. Of the three men who have just gone '"' Kemmendine, one has been throuijh. the whole course before, and it is hoped that he may be accepted for the Diaconate after one year of further instruction. The other two have been doing good work as Catechists for some years and a short probation after their three yeaTS' training is completed should be enough, so that in five years' Lime the staff of native clergy should be less inadequate to the needs of the work than it is at present. The number of students in the Catechists' Training School in Toungoo is· larrr than it haa been for some years. There are seven, .five o whom are new students. All are Bghai Karens &om S. Luke's Mission· Here at S. Peter's there has always been .a dearth of catechists, and vaTious reasons are given to account for it. The fact •emains that the Pakus are not as ready as the Bghai Karens to become Christians. We have some boys at school now who will, we hope, go on to the· Catechists' Training School, so here also there ought to be improvement in course of time. W. R. MENZIES. The Rev. W. C. R. Purser, of S. Michael's Mission, Kern· mendine, and Mr. K .. j. Saund~rs, Warden of the Y.M.C.A. Hostel, Rapgoon, have published a most useful little book, entitled ...Modern Buddhism in Burma:· It is an epitome of information received from missionaries, officials and others~ both English and native, in reply to a carefully drawn up set of questions. We will quote a few specimens of these que.stions:- "':What features of Buddhism have in your opinion most influence on (a) ~n average child, (b) an average woman, fc) an average man ? 401 ''What are the religious aims of .the 'majority of Buddhists? ls the sense of sin well marked? Are they attracted by the Otristian doctrine of forgiveness? How do you endeavour to <:onvince Buddhists of the Love of Goo?" There are 63 questions, and anyone who wishes to under stand Burmese Buddhism, and especially anyone who wishes to speak on the subject should get the book. Send Postal Order for I /6 to the Christian Literature Society, Rangoon for a copy. An article on Burmese Buddhism by the Rev. W. G. B. Purser, appears in this month's International Reoiew of Misaions. A NEW VENTURE •. The Rev. W. C. R Purser writes to the Diocesan Magazine: "With the approval of the Bishop of Rangoon and the Director of Public Instruction, we are opening an experimental school for the blind at Kemmendine 'in july. "Statistics shew that there are just under 17,000 blind people in Burma, and though a large proportion of thes.e live in the ·dry zone, it is believed that Rangoon is the best centre for this work. Should it not prove to be so, the school wiU be ultimately transferred to Upper Burma. "The pioneer blind school in Burma, the Moulmein institu tion, is sending a teacher to start the wo.rk in July, but negotia tions are being made to s~cure the serviceS' of a specialist from England who will direct the work ·on the most up-to-date scientific lines. _ "One of the leading oculists in Burma is a member of our <:ommittee, and we hope that it will be possible to establish some sort of a clinic where children of imperfect vision may be attended and their eyesight improved or saved· "We should be glad to be put into touch with blind children, fit and willing to undergo the discipline of the school, and we earnestly a_ppeal to those interest~d in the work to help us with monthly subscriptions. The Education Depart ment have promised to assist, but liberal private subscriptions are an absolute necessity if the scheme is to succeed."' The new Vernacular Normal School at S. Michael's, Kero mendine, has recently been completed. Th!O total cost wit-n the out-buildings will be about Rs.16,000, of which Government has sanctioned Rs.7,800. The building consists upstairs of a dormitory, masters· room, boxroom and bathroom, and down stairs of a practising room, Normal School, Superintendent's Office, writing room and bath room. There are excellent verandahs and the school appears very well-planned and built. Last year the Normal School was opened, but there ·were no special quarters either for the school or stUdents· The school had to find· a place· in the Anglo·Vernacular School already over flowingly full, and the stnden~ had to find room in the .boarders. dormitorY which was crowded; holding as it did the .boarders, the Normal student8; ana the principal and his chattels,. a sick room, dispensary, and. school ollice.l· Now.the boarders are. in comfort; the N0rmal students in: luxury and. the principal has a room which he looka like keeping. We hope that -he will have a better fate than has been his lot the last eight years. In that time he has been driven from pillar to post, and has never hai:l a room for any _length of . time which he could call his own: He has had to' give it up for a claas room, a dormitory or some one else's .use, or shared it as.'the school office or general school..st!)re. . The building will be formally opened by ·the Bishop at a ·Jater date. The school should be a great help to jungle · sclroors .. · bast ·year. seven boy.s were passed out.. an·d are noW . working in their own •illage schools. with the .e;o:ception of one who ha8 joined the staff at the practising sChool. The training is for one year. Students must have passed at least the Vernacular 4th Standard. They are gjven a course of . practical teaching, and an . ele· menta.ry course in: tlie theory of. teaching. During their spare tirne they are prepared for a hivher standard examination. Boys are being prepared for standards five, six and aeven. Amongst the Birthday Mo(lOUrs the Kaisir-1-Hind medal has been awarded to Mr. Best. · We congratulate the Pri.,cipal of S. John's on this well deserved recognition of educational ser· vices rendered to the ·PrOvince. · About a year a~ the Bishop asked the Government if they would be willing to make the usual grants towards the stipends of Chaplains. working under the Additional Oergy Society, if the Society hrought out Chaplains for the Oil Fields, and for Mergui a11d 'tavoy. We are glad to be able to say that Government has recognized the. needs of these two chap· laincies. and that it has sanctioned the necel!6ary grants. The Railway Chaplaincy still. remains to be diVided. The lnsein Church. Comniittee IJ.lOVed in th~ ~atter four years ago. but it seems to be impos8ible to get a· reply from the Railway Board at home about the possibilities of a giant, for which they and not t)ie Government are responSible. · S· S.. "RASMARA," GULF OF MARTABAN. 6th March,. 1914. MY·DEAR CooKE, . . - . . ' .... 1 W.ite this on. my ,way to Moulmein, where we hope ne:l Mrs. Fylfe at a;.hop'o·Court. And I am now looking forward to a comparatively quiet time till I come home I You will have heard about Kemp's illne88- He was never expected to recover. We all say he did because he was told that he probably could not I I had to take his work from the beginning of December till the end of January, as best I could. I am afraid that it was a very poor best, as there are seven .achools and a large congregation with. 500 communicants or so; However; "It's not what you wants, but what you gets that y,ou have to think about"-a very good "text" for anyone working in the East, or .i~ any missionary diocese, I expect. I am afraid that if the present work got all the attention it really needs we should want about half as many workers again. During the past year, I have done hardly any "odd jobbing" outside Rangoon, and during the Bishop"·s absence in England I hd ·more .or less an easy time. I had three other men to live with me at Bishop's Court, and five others came into mees. We were a very variegated· ~onment : an architect, a dentist, an arm_y offi.c~r, a professor, a· man in the I.C.S., and two padres, with other people at various times· So you see I have -been qualifying to be an hotel keeper~ Well, I must leave olf, and as this is by way of being a Christmas letter, I had better send you my good wishes for the rest of 1914. Yours ever, E. G. LEVIEN. TouNcoo CHAPLAINCY Ovr-Sn.TIONS. The S.P.G. Missionary at S. Luke's, Toungoo, is also Chaplain to the English there, and as part of his duty has to visit the following stations. He writes:- NYAUNGLEBIN. "Nyaunglebin at one time was only passed through once a year on th~ way to .Shwegyin, where tliere was· a cemetery to inspect; but in 190i', I got an crder from ·Bishop Kni8ht to visit it fOur timeS a year, and this has been done ever· .since. There have never been many Church people there, but the few ,there have been have generally attended the services, .ad -the Sub-divisional Officer has very kindly sent round tlie notice announcing the services, &c. The Bishop pai_d ·a visit once to Nyaunglebin, in 191-0, ahd there has been no occasion for his Lordship to go again. A site has been chosen for a cemetery, _not far from the railway line, and plans and esti· mates have been drawn up, but how much farther it has gone I do not know· at present: It is a vezy imp6rtailt matter; far at present there is :nc;> Government cemetery between Pegu and Toungoo. 407 SHWEGYIN. "Shwegyin is visited once a year, and I generally w· to put in a Sunday there. Here again there are very few Church people, but the few who are· there appreciate the services, inid theSuilday evening service, is as a rule, attended also bY tlie Baptist lady missionaries as well as by oui own people.: . . PYUNTAZA. "Although this is a larger place.. as far as E.uropeana are concerned, it was not visited until 1911. A few keen Church. people used to come in to Nyaunglebin when I was there-par ticularly Mr. W. C. Augustine, of· the Traffic Department, Burma Railways-and it }Vas at his request I arranged a regular visit to Pyuntaza. The services ·are not as well attended as they might be, but there are a good number who have made up their minds to help, particularly Mr. Augustine and ~ Wright, the Assistant Station Master, and we are hop!i.ngJ for better things. "The coliections generally are given to the Church Building Fund, and ;ilteady we have Rs.11il/3/5 in the Post Oflice•to that account. On the other hand, there is now quite a nice Railway Institute at Pyuntaza. and ~rmissior was readily given me b~ tile District Traffic Superintendent to use it for services~ We are therefore spending a little money on hymn books and prayer books, kneelers, &c., so that we hope when the Bishop visits the place to hold a Confirmation, as he has promised to do in October, it will look quite "churchy" in appeaz:ance .. KYAUKTAGA. "Kyauktaga can harclly be called an out-station, but I do pay -occasional visits there because there are three or four com municants. These I prepared some six years ago~ and they were confirmed in Toungoo by Bishop Knight. They are very awkwarclly situated. Few trains stop there in the course of the day, and their work prevent& them comin,J in to Toungoo, so I go out generally two or three time& in the year· and give them a Ce:lebration, which they very much appreciate. THANDOUNG. ''"l}>andou':'~ is the '?ne out-station b.elonging to the T oung<)o Chap'lamcy whtch remams to he menttoned. Some .years ago when we thought it was goin11 to I!T9W rapidly. we got. a site from Government for a church. This site we still have. We also have aver Rs.l.OOO towards a church. But like m&DY other peool<: we were disappointed in the growth of the place, and we did not want to build a church which was not going to be used. "Meanwhile we held our services regularly in the hot season when any visitqrs were there, either in the hotel or in 408 the Modern School, and although the pla.ce was has never been c:rowded, we have alW1>YS had fairly good congregations. "At;. the. beginning of this year the Modern School was unfortunately closed. T)ley had only the year before erected a good-sized gymnasium, and at once I thought what.a jiiOOd step this would be towardt our church. I wrote to Mr. Low, the former mana~er of th~ school, and he very kindly gave me his share of the building for that purpose. I hop~ now ;t will not be long before Government will hand over the other share so that we may pull down this fine corrugated iron and wooden building and re·er.ect it on our church site, and thus be ready for our congregation before another hotweather; for after all, much as we appreciate the kindness of people in allowing us to hold services here and there (and they are always ready to give us pgmission) there is nothing like having your own church for your own services, and your own bell to call the people to them. Perhaps SOII)e of our readers would like to help us in this re·erection or in giving us the bell or some of the necessary church furniture, If so their offers will be gladly welcomed." T. fiSHER. BISHOP's HoME, RANGOON. DEAR MISS LATHOM BROWNE, You know I have come to Mrs. Chard, and am giving part of my time, helping by some supervisi<>n of the children, and more especially by taking a share in their religious instruction. But I undertook in coming here to do G.F.S. work also, so, I expect you would, as a member of the Council, like to kn<>w how I a~getting on. . I can only say at present that I have made a bei!'inning, and that I hope to see more results later on. I haye called on ;rollng ladies in Drapers' Houses in the- office of the Burma Railways, and in the Methodist Episcopal Girls' H<>stel. The most I can say is that nearly all seem very friendly and to appreciate my calling, but they do not come to tlie meetings t<> which I invite them. There are exceptions, but those that say they will come do not always do so. There are certainly difficulties in the way, they are tired after buainess hours, and the rains are so heavy and constant that it makes it difficult t<> get about. I myself should have visited more but for this. We have had two pleasant monthly Socials at which the attendance was 19 and 18 respectively. At the former, a Committee <>f old and faithful members was elected, Miss Dar• lington, •. our Head Mistress being appointed their Secretary. I think they will interest themselves in the G.F .S. Stall at Bishop's Home on December 15th. *A cultured Eurasian lady, a B.A. MAntvo- T HE OLD C HURCH AND THE N Ew . 409· As a Committee they will be needed to be trained to be 'Useful, as the idea is quite new to them. At the first meeting we had some old members from S. Matthew's, Moulmein, who .are now at S. Ma:ry's, Kemmendine, but it was found too far for them, and I am afraid we are not to expect them in future. Yesterday, we had a G.F.S. Service at Christ Church, 'Cantonments, when Mr. Seeley, Government Chaplain~ "gave us a helpful address on our ragtto---Cal. vi., 2. Mrs. FyJfe, Mrs. Garnett and myself were admitted Associates. . A short course of Lectures will be ~ven at the :next few monthly meetings by Dr. Kingsley on the "Care of ow: Bodies." We are looking forward to those with interest. Dr. Kingsley is a. lady very much interested in the campaign for Social Purity. . These are some of our activities which will show you that the Cantonment Branch of G.F .S. Ts not ·moribund; ·but as a W<>rker; I shall not be satisfied until I can get back members who have lost intet"est (and it is surprising to find how many girls in business own to being members, but are evidently out of touch with G.F.S.) and until I can' get new members. The Cathedral Branch may expect to reap the advantage of Mrs. Fyffe as an Associate, for though she was admitted by Mr. Seeley, as there ,was no service in prospect at the ·Cathedral, she will not work in our h MAYMYO MEMORIAL CHUB.CH. Our illustration showe a view of the old and new churches at Maymyo. The· old one has now disappeared and the l'emains are helping "tow~rds the completion of the new.

But there is much lltill to be done, i.e., the tower to be completed. Money for half only i.. in hand. The F umishing Fund is pr<>!llessing well," . . The Archdeacon has about £240 in hand for this purpose: The Gurkha Rilles are giving the Sanch,Iary marble floor as a memorial (£I 40); the I.C.S. are giving the Reredos (£230), the Forest are giving the Baptisfery (£I I 5); the Land.
