ebrant,
e -
ebran't, and Rev. L. V. Pocock as as-
sistant. At 11 o'clock' the Deanery
chapter met in the rectory and "bhe
Deanery Women's Auxiliary meta' in
the church where a very inspiring
meeting was, enjoyed' by a large num-
ber of delegate's. rAv ,address was giv-
en by Rev, G. A. Andrew, : Horan,
'China. The mid-day •p'r'ayer was con-
ducted by Rev; W. B. ,Parker. The
ladies of the parish provided luncheon
at noon. In the afternoon addresses
were given 'hy Rev. Mr. Andrew; Rev.
F Gwynne Li'ght'bourn of ISlbratford
and Rev, K. M'dGoun. Archdeacon
Jone's ;B'ateimatt closed the session
with the benediction.
Rev. F. H. Pauli of Bayfield was
elected rural dean.
At the outset of his remarks, Rev.
Mr. 'Andrew spoke of China's terri-
torial greatness, saying that it was
larger than all the European nation's
put together and different front Indda
in that it was one rice.' He sipoke of
the age of C'hinta, stating that it WAS
the oldest country in tie world. He
mentioned the hospital which St.
Paul's Church, Toronto, had built in
Homan -diocese and of the remarkable
work it was doing in the h'ea'ling of
the sick Five doctors, two of whonn
were Chinese, along with the. nurses,
looked after the needs. 'Recently an
ambulance had been added, and it
lwend to village's and held clinics
which were of infinite importance to
the sick Chinese. Mr. Andrew pointed
'out that in 19110 Bishop White. had
'been ap'poin'ted Bishop of Ronan and
that then there were few Christians,
now there were a nundber of churches
with quite a large number of ad'her-
en'ts, many of w'h'am were truly con -
vented and true servants of Jesus
Ohrist. The strength of th'e church
was indicated in I127.t29 when the
missionaries had to leave to save their
lives. During this time Bishop
White's p'ol'icy of making the Chin-
ese do the work of the church rather
than enlist the services of "foreign-
ers" proved its merits.
