A number of gaps liave been croated by the loss of European workers; soveral of these have re- mained unfilled to the great de-
life for eighty years but be pre-triment of the work, and unless jo

As the immediate future our ranks think of the hopes with which are strengthened, in particular by act out in 1920 and of what has the addition of two clergyman, I been accomplished, I realise how fear the detriment will be con- many of them have remained un-siderably greater still.
The figures given are those on fulfilled. Nine years ago I hoped the number of our Chinese clergy the roll of the Church Missionary would have been doubled by this | Society.

It is not easy to nee what our future educational policy should be, but concerning this gen. eral principle 1 am clear-that we can only expect good results as the in- struction in our schools la given in | a thoroughly Christian atmosphere under the inspiring influenca, of teachers of deep religious experl- once, and if in any case religious education and worship cannot be carried on effectively in any of our existing schools then I think we should do well to consider the ad- visability of establishing week-day. Bible Schools where instruction con be given in an unhampered way. I should like also to ase Sunday School work more generally developed. It is certainly in several places being very effectively carried on.
in all these matters achieve ments has fallen short of hope, let u try fairly to appraise the work of these past years.
(2.) Church Life Generally: First as regards church life generally we are in the midst of a process of shifting the weight of responsibility from the Mission to the Chinese Church, The for, mation of the Diocean Board of Mission last year carried us for ward a long way in this respect; but it is evident that we shall have le assume heavier 'responsibilities still. We are not receiving the same financial help through the Church Missionary Society that wo used to receive and I am afraid we are not in the years ahead of us likely to receive it; and as regards missionary reinforcements (except # relates to educational and me dica; workers) there has been a falling off-this, I think, is an aftermath of the European War of len years ago.
