The season of Lent, marked a distinct step forward owing to the daily celebra- tions and the helpful services conducted by the military chaplain. The Church Council which came into being after the annual inceting of last year, was able to advise the Church Body on various taatters of importance-it is good to note that two Chinese are, now members "of the Council.

Mr. Owen Hughes,

The Bishop then referred to the Fukien Cathedral at Foochow, now in the course of erection. When the Bishop of Fukien was passing through here a short while ago, he had a conversation with him and Mr. Powell and they thought that, as the Mother Church of the Diocese, ther should make some gift towards the new building. It was 20 years ago since Foo- chow was separated from this diocese. It was hoped that the new Cathedral
