Triennial Missionary Festival . ADDRESS BY BISHOP STRINGER . On Wednesday last , the triennial mission- ary festival in connection with the Ross and Archenfield deaneries and the Diocesan Board of Missions , was celebrated in Ross Parish Church , a keen interest being taken in this event by church people residing in both deaneries . The festival commenced with a celebration of the Holy Communion at 8 at 11 a.m. A garden party was also given at a.m .. with morning praver and intercession the Rectory at 5.15 p.m .. The festival ser- vice took place in the Parish Church where a large congregation assembled . The Rector and Rural Dean ( the Rev. R. T. A. Money- Kyrle ) conducted the service , and the sur- pliced clergy included the Bishop of Yukon , the Archdeacon of Hereford , and Preb . Douglas Seaton , Rural Dean , in addition to several of the clergy from both Deaneries . The special lessons were read by the Rev. Douglas Seaton and the Archdeacon , while the sermon was preached by his lordship the Bishop of Yukon , who is one of the mission- ary heroes of the Church at the present day , his work being centred in the Yukon diocese on the borders of the Arctic regions . Bishop Stringer , who spoke with much Dower and earnestness , took for his text St. Mark xvi . , v . 20 : " And they went forth and preached everywhere , the Lord working address his lordship said the diocese of Yukon with them . " In the course of his eloquent was situated in the extreme north - west of Canada , etween Alaska and the Rocky Mountains , its northern border touching the thousand square miles in extent , but they Arctic Ocean . The diocese was over two only had eight ordained men to carry the gospel message to these people . The growth of the country had been marvellous , and they were thankful for that growth . But with that growth came the sense of responsibility , especially when they thought of the trans- formation that was going on in that land , through the work the church was doing , They knew they had the sympathy and the active and the practical help of the church in this country , and it was only natural that they should , for it was from this land that so many people had gone to Canada during the last few years . Their church was sharing the responsibility and taking some share in following these people as they went from place to place , but there still remained a great deal more to be done . He spoke of the great difficulties that missionaries had to encounter in getting from one part of the diocese to another , fometimes starvation and death staring them in the face . In some parts they only had their mails twice a year : and their supplies once a year , and these had to be ordered twelve months before . RELIABLE CYCLE REPAIRS .

As a large ratepayer in the Ross Urban district and also as one in- terested in the rural district , I was delighted to see , sir , that you did not reprint the re- port in extenso . But notwithstanding that , a full copy of it has been in my possession , and when I read it I was more than dis- gusted to find that various matters of the utmost importance , yet nothing to do with the school , had been introduced . Why this 83a . was done one hardly knows . The greatest surprise to one is that such a businesslike body of men as those who comprise the Rural District Council should have allowed them- selves to have been carried away with such high - flown language and pass the report as presented unanimously , almost a case of when in Rome you must do as Rome does whether you like it or not . So far as I understand the question , the report is full of inaccuracies , and above all it concludes with a threat - an idle threat shall I say which the members of the Coun- cil and the committee must have known at the time would be utterly impossible to carry through , but which threat would be made the laughing stock of all thorough up - to - date business men , for is it likely the County Council would take from the Urban district of Ross , or any other district , that portion of land and buildings which had been made I over to them ten years ago . That threat is only one item in the report which proves its degrading influence . We are . yours obediently . E. C. TENTERDEN . F. M. WALTER . E. GRAHAM MURRAY . L. V. LUMLEY - HOLLAND .
