The place was ran into a Bishop! But before he sat down, he added, he would like to tell Hongkong something about two clerical efforts being made in bis part of the country. These efforts concerned the Central Theological School, established for the purpose of training Chinese students for Holy Orders, and the Chi- nesc Church Mission, founded by Chi- nese, financed by Chinese, and conducted by Chinose for Chinese. During the eight years of its existence Chinese had contributed over 370,000 for this Mission,. which maintained a small body of clergy and a school (Applause.)
