It is learned on the conclusion of Mr. Hoover's conference with naval expert and others at the White House, that Mr. Hoover is still hopeful of an understanding being reached under which it will be necessary for the United States to construct al: fifteen cruisers called for in the present naval programme.

(should by this time have been able to open up at least one ле station-if anything, we have had to draw in our hands. Nine years ago I hoped that our staff would have been so strengthen-- ed that we should have had working from the centre a group of specialised workers-one to take the lead as dio- ! cesan missioner, another as education- al expert and so on. In fuet, our ranks have not been augmented, rather gapa have been left unfilled. Nine years ago I hoped that we should ere this have been in a position to subdivide the dio- case. In all these matters achievement has fallen short of hope, let us try fairly to appraise the work of these past years.
The second subject I wish to refer to is that of unity among Christians. Once in ten years all Bishops of the Anglican Communion throughout the world who are able to do só meet in conference. The meeting next year will last fron July 7 to August 9. For myself. I believe that the most vital question, which will be considered ifs that of Christian unity. The ques 'tión" of the re-union of Christendom is a very large one. We must work at the problem locally with all our powers, but we must remember that all local schemes of unity must be considered in relation to the question as a whole otherwise they will imperil the very Cause they are intended to advance. I want to ask your continual prayers for the Lambeth Conference of next year and especially that it may have the
gift of divine wisdom in its considera- tion of this far-reaching question of unity.
