In many instances, much incon- venience is caused to tenants by the wator supply being disconnected without warning to them, owing to the failure of the guarantor to pay the accounts within the specified period. Tenants are, therefore, nd- vised to make suitable arrangements with their landlords to ensure that all water and mater rontal accounts are paid promptly.
Changes of ownership of property should be notified immediately to this Office.

The Bishop of St. Albans, reply- Ing, denied the suggestion that the Misionary Council were asking for something which they knew would not be done.
He alleged that Dr. Henson had another taunt," and also made, that he had said "very scornfully. 'What do we know is God's will in these matters ???
The Bishop of Durham: I pro test. I did not speak scornfully. I spoke with the greatest gravity and solemnity.
The Bishop of St. Albans: withdraw entirely. I thought you did. I withdraw. I beg your par dor.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said that the Bishop of Durham's Words semed to have been generally misunderstood. Personally he heard no tons of scom.
The Primate added that it should be made clear publicly that, the suggested increase of 10 per cent. was made "in view of the financial situation revealed in the statement of the Missionary Council."
The Bishop of Durham, in 'view of this, withdrew his motion, sinid cheers, and the resolution was car ried unanimously.

The magazine "Iron Age,”"issued to-day, pointed out that approxi mately forty per cent. of the steel scrap export trade is with Japan and an embargo, if effective, would probably affect them.
