SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE
-CLERGY.
We have received the following letter from a correspondent who, having read scine recent utterances in London by members of the local clergy, is moved to put some per- tinent questions:-
The Bishop's House. The report of the tenth annual reunion of the Victoria Diocesan Association in. London, under the title of The Charch in China," which appeared in a recent issue of this paper, reminded the writer that he and his wife had cach received,

Housing the Clergy.
Now we learn that the Bishop wants a new house. Surely it will be remembered that he was advised not to live at St. Paul's, and that the College was willing to pay him house-rent to live elsewhere, and this in 1920. If that place does not suit him now, he has only himself

The Question of Standards. Do. either the Bishop or Mr. Halward set very high standards 7 We read from the mouth of Mr. Halward that most of the modern | youths were not living up to the standard set by the Master as they should. Why quibble! Both the Bishop and Mr. Halward are absent from the field of labour and are likely to be for some time to come. Of these standards more anon, but what has modern youth done to deserve the castigation, and further, whilst the Bishop and his Chaplain are enjoying themselves in England, together with, the Dean, an odd curate or so, and a schoolmistress, do they imagine that we who are left behind are slacking When they all return to the Colony they will perhaps notice they, have not even been missed, and that the work has gone on just as well, and quite as smoothly as if they had remained here.
The Eurasian Community. Now take this for a bit of con- summato impidence. "They (the Eurasians) were,a fme type of people given a chance. This from a man who, together with a few others, depends to a very great extent for his very livelihood upon the fine type." How much hack work in the Church is done by poorly-paid and badly cared-for Eurasians 1 The expression is an insult to a faithful section of the Hong Kong community. It smacks of a superiority that is rot justified by deeds, and should never have been, used,
•
Further, who is Mr. Halward to" say that we had got to show that Christianity was equal to the task 1. How can they be equal to the task, the Bishop, the Dean, and the "Chaplain, when they are not doing their jobs? None of them are suf- ficiently long out here to even know the members of their flocks."
Christianity in Uhina.
Now for the words of wisdom which dropped from the mouth of the Bishop himself. If Chris- tianity does not get into China within twenty years, then the heart of China is lost." Supposing always that Ching herself wants this re ligion. Bishop Duppuy has an un- happy kreskin saving just the "Wrong thing. And one would imagine that he was a pioneer of Christ- ianity in China. Christianity has been in China for the best part of two centuries, and long have been. the stays of the "fishers of men' in the interior of China, some of whom never took a home leave.
The Dean arrived at the beginning of 1928 and left for home early in 1930, his wife preceding him by months. He will be away four months.
Can you beat it?
The writer had his last leare five years ago, and may get two months in 1931 if he can raise his fare, and this with the dollar at 1/3d.

- Expensive Clergy. As a result of the Bishop's last leave at home we have had to suter and so now the jobs at the Cathe a new string of expensive clergy. dral have become, sinecures, as is proved by the amount of time they get away from the Colony. The congregations have fallen off, new ideas have been thrust on-reluctant members of the laity, and when re- monstrated with they tell us they have come out not only to convert the heathen but also to reform the backsliding Englishmen.
It is to be hoped that when the members of the laity go over these few.details they will seriously con- rider whether the thing is worth while, and if it would not be a better plan to wire the Archbishop. of Canterbury to remove this in- cubus from our already overburden- cd shoulders and get,us a few men who do not mind staying out here a few years, and get used to us and the Colony we live in.

What does it feel like to be shut up for an hour in a steel chamber full of poisonous fumes?
Professor J. B. S. Haldane, the Oxford scientist, stated recently of bis experiences wheu he and a com panion (a Mount Everest explorer) aubmitted themselves to the test.
"The mind," he said, "becomes i a complete blank or forms strange delusions.
During the hour. I was in the steel chamber I was talking and giving instructions all the time, but I have no memory of it,,at all.
Unlike many of the cases I have known. I did not invent some cock- and-bull story about what had hap pened to me during that time.
Seme time ago I went to a hospital to see a workman who had been poisoned by carbon monoxide while at work. He said he was in hospital for a burn on his.. leg, which had been blistered by & hot-water bottle. The man would hot believe he had been poisoned by gaa

looked like very risky experiments, hat there is no danger-if you know what you are doing.
"I was very soon all right after the particula experiment, but I felt just a little funny far an hour or two-in fact, I had not a very good temper!"
Many aman, According to Pro- fessor Haldane, has been necured ef drunkenness when he was really victim of carbon-monoxide poison- ing..
This, he stated, was the explana tion of the mystery at Barnet last dend in a stationary car on the December when two men were found

Professor Haldane chuckled when
asked if friends ever tried to dis-
suade him from taking part in risky experiments.
Sometimes they do," he admit- ted, but it is simply because they do not understand.
My wife? She is now quite hardened to this sort of thing. 1 go down ruines and in all sorts of funny places, but I think she be- lieves I shall keep out of misthief.
"Once, when she was younger, she wanted to come and help me when I was trying out the effects of carbon monoxide, and 'was very useful, too, for after I had had a good dose, 1 could not walk home straight and everyone would have thought I was drunk and she walk- ed home with me.".
