I am sending you by this mail the negative of a very interesting photographic group, which you may be able to present to the readers of the Quarterly Pap13r. Last. S. Thomas' Day early in the morning, the Bishop with Clergy and Candidates for Holy Orders cro1:1sed the river Sit tang on a raft. Just before pushing off the group was photographed, and I now send you the negative. The Ordination took place in S. Paul's Mission Church, Toungoo, at eight o'clock in the morning. The Church was fille rl with an orderly congregation, each person dressed in his or her own national costume, and presented a picturesque and attmctive appearance. The K arens have not yet, I am thankful to say, advanced so far in civilization as to lead them to l!l.dopt European dresses ; and I sincerely hope they never will. The Revd. Tarruah, who was ordained by my predeces~or, Bishop> Titcomb, in 1879, preached ~tn appropriate sermon. Aquah, ordained by me as deacon in 1896, was now advanced to the Priesthood; and Mr. T. Fisher, Yeapoh, Tabber Ber, Shway Lab, Tab Lay, Ropay, Paw Ket., and Haitor were now admitted to the Order of Deacons. It is interesting to notice that all these eight natives had had a three years' course in the Kemmendine Theological Institu­ tion, and that all of them held S.P.C.K. Scholarships whilst there. The service which that venerable Society has for so long rendered by the grant of scholarships in our Training Institutions, have been of the greatest benefit to the Church in my Diocese, and I am most grateful for it.
