On March 13 the following cable reached us through Reuters: "At the request of the Bishops of the Church in China the Archbishop of Canterbury is sending two priests to visit" mis- sionaries and English Communi- ties, in the Chinese Coast dioceses. Canon Woods, Vicar of Holy Trinity, Cambridge, sails early in October. The second priest has not yet been chosen."
This means that for the Mission of Help to English speaking con- gregations in China, one of the missioners will be the Rev. Canon E. S. Woods, brother of the Bishop of Winchester, who was the leader of the recent Mission of Help to India.
