John's Cathedral is stronger today than it has over been in the past, the Right Reverend R. O Hall, Bishop of Hong Kong, told members at the Cathedral's minuut meeting yesterday. Addressing a full gathering in his capacity as
chairman, Bishop Hall said that by stronger:: he meant spiritually, although part of the evidence of this strength is in the number of its worshippers and in it's financial strength.
"Lot's wife looked back, with longing to the past and was turned into a pillar of úiseldis bitterness. We, too, have been looking back to the past," he said.
