"Clergy Breaking Down Through Overwork"

The Bishop of London has farged a letter to church people in his diocese. He asks for their support' of the London Diocesan Fund in the "week of prayer and self-denial,”

"It means that the parochial work of the clergy is breaking down. There is not a poor parish in the diocese which is fully staffed. The clergy are breaking down through overwork. The vacant ranks of the ministry are not being filled, for we have not enough money to pay for the training of the many men who are anxious to offer themselves. We have never yet been able to give to the clergy what we are all agreed is the minimum stipend they should have. Saddest of all, we are not able to provide clergy and churches for the new districts growing so rapidly in the suburbs."

In France roses are not grown in glasshouses. The summer trade is supplied by the Brie district, withio thirty miles of Paris. When a plant is ready to flower it is protected by a movable glasshouse, which brings the blooms to perfection, a system which enables growers to send 85,000 bunches of a dozen roses each to Paria. The winter market is supplied by the South of France, where, roses bloom all the year round except in July and August, when it is too hot.

Mr. Pee Choos-hing, a Chinese business man residing at No. 3, Jelal Street, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, F.M.S., is one of the many fathers who are grateful to Baby's Own Tablets for help they give under such circumstances. He writes:-

"For the past few months my baby did not sleep well at night, distressing us with frequent cries. But since taking Baby's Own Tablets he is quiet and peaceful; his appetite and general health are also much better than before.

I highly recommend these Tablets to all parents."
