(3) To call forth prayer and gifts for the Diocese, but, in a single sentence, we may say that its aim has been to foster the work of this Diocese as a whole and to promote a Diocesan spirit among us. And I want now to try to show that it has, in a real measure, effectively discharged this purpose.

What then has the V.D.A. done for the Diocene? It has helped to promote a Diocesan spirit and diocesan work in the following

But before doing his I want to stress what Mr. Rogers has referred to, namely the valuable work done by the C.M.A. Hince its inception, exactly thirty years ngo, at the instigation of my hon- oured predecessor, the late Dr. Honre, fourth Bishop of this

Diocese.

The C.M.A. has had for Its nim the spreading of missionary in-

Arain it has promoted a spirit of service among us by means of such an agency as the Hospital Supplies Group which has helped the hospitals of this Diocese in a way that you can only appreciate by visiting the hospitals them- selves. And there have been other activities of a like kind.
