Presiding at the Conference, the Bishop of Victoria reviewed the history of the Diocese, stating that though there had been several setbacks in their work, the Diocese had made undoubted progress.
THE BISHOP'S ADDRESS. The Bishop said:-
In May we shall enter upon the seventy-fifth year of our story as a Diocese and I often think that all that has happened since Di George Smith was consecrated in Canterbury Cathedral on May 29th, 1849 as first Bishop of Victoria with the oversight of all the work of the Church of England in China and Japan is an encouragement to us to persevere in the work com- mitted to us-in spite of temporary checks and'ifficulties.
For since these early days a Church has come into being in China as we are reminded this week by the presence in our midst of fifteen Bishops, and Delegates from ten out of the eleven Dioceses which make up the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui. A Church not wholly independent yet it is true but well on its way towards inde- pendence.
And a Church has come into being in Japan.
And since these early days Hongkong Itself has been, trans- formed from a barren rocky island frequented by a few fishermen and, pirates to what a. Secretary of State at the British Imperial Conference in 1923 has described as the largest seaport in: the world.
GREAT CHANGES..
It is rather more than three years since I landed in Hongkong as the sixth Bishop of Victoria and the changes that I have witnessed seem to me to be a presage of the yet greater changes that are to be. It does not fall within my scope to-day to speak,in any detail of the work in the Diocese as a whole but rather of the Colonial work. But before I proceed to do this I should like to say that looking for a moment at the work as a whole there has been undoubted progress during the past three years.
I am aware there have been. setbacks too; due in part in some. cases to the unrest in the country. For instance in the matter of Con- firmations. In my first year I con- firmed 329, last year I confirmed only 200. In ail I have confirmed 850 since my arrival here. In the neighbouring Diocese of Fukjen the confirmation figures are very much higher, due in no small measure as I believe to a considerably larger staff of workers, and
thero have t
But though there have been, setbacks yet on the whole, sub stantial progress has been made And I would like to put on record herer how much we owe to the indefatigable labours of Arch deacon Barnett, whose absence on
life there I am sure I should have to say the same. That everywhere in spite of much apparent failure and glaring limitations there is life and the development which comes of life..........
