It is a curious fact that during the past few years, in' spite of strenuous efforts on the part of the officials, the funds of the Society have remained practically stationary, and the saggastion is made in some quketars not unsympathetic to the Church of England that the stagnation is partly due to the controversies raging in and around the church as to doctrines and methods.

This is somewhat of a change of slow since the vessel was commissioned, for the Japanese were sceptical of the ship's stibility.
