At the Y's men Club Lancheon held at Lane Crawford's Re staurant yesterday, the Bishop of Victoria, the Rt. Rev. Ronald Hall delivered a very interest ng addreas in which he touch upon the causes of the present world-wide trade depression.
Bishop Hall said: "I want to compare your business with mine, If you find an empty Church and you ask the parson why, he may tell you "it's only a passing de pression. But you will say
t yourself: "No, not a passing de pression, but a depressing parson, (Laughter)
Fallors in Intelligence. But yet you businessinen dare to stand up to us parsons and say your economic stagnation is a trade de pression. You are as much to blame for it as the parsons with the empty churches. I don't bo lieve there has been failure of trade-f I believe there has been a failure in intelligence.

Forgery of Receipts Alleged
The case in which Joseph Evangi. list Besa, 32, described as an un- employed Filipino, is charged with fraudulent conversion of 81,722, with which he had been entrusted to purchase a local publication, the Cathay Newe, and with uttar. the symbol of the reality of God's ing two forged documents purport giving and the deep need of mening to be receipts for $1,608 and 860 from the firm of Messrs. and women,
George K. Hall Brutton and Co., solicitors, was continued at Con tral Magistracy yesterday, when the complainant, fr. F. C. Ken- nedy gave evidence.
I can give you one smali illustra tion of that, I mean of what I believe to be the line of progress for the future. In England the conviction of the reality of God on the one hand and the needs of man on the other has created the "Public Utility Trust" in which parsons and business men work together with the help of Christian men and women who are prepared to lend their money at two, three or four per cent.
The Right Lines.

Because the depression in my profession is beginning to pass, I am going to be bold and tell you that it will only pass in your profession when you begin to blame yourself and not War Debts or American Banks or the trade cycle.'
Your Solution.
The Bishop then dealt in some detail with the Newcastle Housing Improvement Trust with which he was associated. The Trust is hous- ing the poorest citizens of New castle at no charge at all to rates or Government, by paying a rate of interest below the prevailing commercial rate.
Businesslike Charity. Continuing, the Bishop said: I have found as I have goun "Charity in the ordinary sense is around Churches in England that of little use to those less fortunate the parsons who were doing their than ourselves. They can be help- job have a common factor. They ed best by being helped to help are sensitive on the one hand to themselves.
