Deficit £430. — A worker offered to contribute the sum of £10 on condition that other friends of the Society or parishes contributed similar sums, m order to remove the deficit by April 30th. The! Committee have 'been greatly : encouraged by the .response, which was sufficient to meet the requirements by the time specified. Kerman Hospital, Persia.—lnformation has come to hand to the effect that two doctors (a man and a woman) have now returned to Kerman after doing good work m India. These are doubtless Dr. Winifred Westlake and Dr. Dodson. It is hoped that this opening, coming as it does after many prayers, will enable the missionaries to reopen and carry on their work without further interruption. Miss Lee has returned to the Dominion after working strenuously for more than two years among the Maori soldiers m England. The Rev. H. Nind has been accepted by the Society for support m lieu of Mr Bourne, retired from the Melanesian Mission. The Rev. Frank Long has received much encouragement m his deputation work m the Diocese of Waiapu. Miss Thorp has been located at Chung-an, which is m the Far West of the Fuh Kien province, China. The Mission Station at Chung-an was opened four years ago amidst much distrust, but this has largely disappeared and there are now great openings for mission work m the thickly populated district. We are requested to state that the principal of Te Aute College will be grateful for books 1 suitable for boys. Will kind donors please send their contributions to the Diocesan Office, or to Mrs Alan Williams, Pukehou.
