"AT HOME" AT THE CATHEDRAL HALL.
"THE EMPIRE OF CHRIST.”
The Bishop of London was present at an At Home" at St. John's Cathedral Hall yesterday evening when he met several church workers and gave a short address.
The Bishop said that his object in touring the world, was to visit the inis sions. He had first gone to Columbia and then into America. In the latter country he addressed during his tour some 100,000 students. He referred to the Bishops of Kobe, Colombo and Singa- porc, and said that he was sorry that Bishop Duppuy of Hong Kong was in- disposed.
In Japan, he said, he went to see the workers in every diocese and made a visit to Korea. It had been beautiful to hear 300 Koreans, singing the service in their native tongue.
The British Empire.
He thought that Britishers had made a wonderful place of Hong Kong, An American friend with whom he travelled said that it was splendid work, not waly for Britain but for civilization. He felt, and they all should feel proud of the Em pire but grand as was the British Empire. they were building up the Empire of Jesus Christ in the World..
The jury, retura a verdict of accidental death, but found the foreman negligent in not having taken stronger measures to prevent the workmen from going back to the scene of a blasting before the ten minutes had expired.
