But the work must now be yours, not theirs." Continuing, the Bishop said that he rejoiced that the committee of the General Synod of the Church of China proposed to form a purely Chinese Board of Missions to appoint and support a Chinese Bishop and staff to evangeline some province in China, entirely indepen- dent of any Western missionary sciety. He asked them to remember that every Church member was an orangelist, and he hoped the wealthier Chinese Christians who had shown such remarkable generosity towards educational missionary institu tions would be equally earnest about the evangelisation of their fellow countrymen.

In conclusion, the Bishop referred to the great war in Europe in the following terms: The terrible European war hangs like a black cloud over us all the time. I am firmly convinced that the Allies are fighting not only for the wel- fare of England, France and Russia, but for the cause of freedom throughout the whole world, in Asia as well as in Europe, and for righteousness as opposed to brute force. And while I am persunded, that In the course of his address to the God will use it for the furtherance of this Chinese Diocesan Conference on Wednes-bause in the end, I deeply deplore it, It day the Bishop of Victoria mentioned that, as he hud feared last year, the Reys.
