Annual Meeting.-Last year it was not possible to arrange for the usual meeting, but this year we hope to hold it in the S.P.G. Board Room at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 23rd. We hope that the R~v. C. K. Hughes and Miss Cam, who have recently returned from Burma, will be present and speak. Bishop Fyffe and Bishop Tubbs also expect to be present.

Bishop West was very seriously injured in a motor accident at Rangoon on June 9th. After skilful and devoted attention for six weeks in Rangoon Hospital-where he ,vas visited by English, Chinese, Indilns, Anglo-Indians, and even Buddhist monks--he made a remarkable recovery, and has since been convalescing in India and America. The Bishop arrived in New York five days before the Japanese attack on the U.S.A., and has not found it JX)S-sible to return to Burma direct. He may possibly find it necessary to come to England in order to procure a passage back to Burma.

St. Luke's Day was observed throughout Rangoon Diocese as a Day of Intercession for the medical work of the Diocese, and collections were made for the Mission Hospitals and Nurses It is proposed to make this an annual fixture.

The ~ev. B. Driffield, of St. Augustine's College, and of St. John the Evangelist, Fitzroy Square, has been gazetted a Government Chaplain on the Burm.a Establishment.

Kalaw .-Many of her friends will be sad to hear of the death at Kalaw of ~Irs. Carstens on June r4th, r94r.

St. John's CoUeg~ and some of the villages in the Delta have made collections to help in the repair of the Hon. Secretary's Church at Teynham, damaged by enemy action; £14 has been received. It is tragic that since they made their collections their own churches have probably been bombed by the Japanese. St. John's College started the year "with more Christians than ever before, and close on 200 boarders, of whom the majority were Christians. Many boys have left during the course of the term to join the Forces. T'he Burma Navy was the most popular at first, but subsequent batches have gone into the Signals and Air Force. One lad who joined the Burma Rifles 2t years ago, after be,ing promoted Sergeant-Major, has now l"l'ceived a commission and has been appointed Adjutant. Nearly all the Staff of the College are in the Defence Services, Saya U Po Kah being Divisional Warden, A.R.P., with Saya U Mg San as his deputy.

St. Barnabas,· East Rangoon, is now entirely self-supporting, with its own church, school, and priest.in-charge, the Rev. Chit ']'way.

The Rev. H. Mc. D. Wilson is in charge of the Diocese in the absence of the Bishop. He asks us to try and find a Chaplain for the oilfields and a Mandarin-speaking Chinese Priest for Lashio.

The Rev. C. K. Hughes and Miss Cam have arrived in England on retirement. The former is staying with the Rev. W. R. Menzies at Hubberholme, Yorkshire, and the i<ltter with her mother at Keble Road, Oxford. Mr. Hughes has bee.n at St. Luke's,- Toungoo, since 1921. During h'is time the Sch(X)l ha~ been moved to a fine site outside the town and splendid 111.:\\' buildings have been provided. He received several very ,:aluable. presents from members of his staff and pupils and others hefore leaving. He has been succeeded at St. Luke's, Toungoo, by the Rev. G. L. Tidey.

The Delta Medical Mission.-Miss Cam sailed from Rangoon on June 15th, on retirement from her work in the Delta. Of her it can be. literally said that she gave of her very flesh and blood for the people, tortured as she was year after year in her village hospital in the Irrawaddy Delta by mpsquitoes, scorpions, · and other unmentionable creatures who rest not day nor night from their depredations.

Before she left for England, the Bishop said that the best thank-offering that CO'llld be given her for the work that she had done in starting the Medical Service of the Delta would be to take some part in carrying on that work.

After having waited several months, Miss Cam eventually left rather hurriedly, so that we are still picking up the threads of her many activities. The latter are quite difficult to define, for, although the work is primarily medical, the worker follow­ing Mi!;§ Cam is expected to be able to do anything in a village, from attending a meeting of villagers to discussing what line is to be take.n when the vili<lge headsman spends all his time and money drinking and gambling, to producing material and helping cut out frocks for a child being sent to Rangoon to school. The duties of local postman are also very frequently added, for if once it is known that Sister is going to a certain village, all sorts of letters and strange-looking parcels begin to arrive " per Sister's kind favour." In fact, only last week an undesirable smell among one's possessions was traced to ngapi and bad eggs which we were conducting to some distant friend !

The rains are quite heavy, so that travelling is not easy, aud we have not yet visited all our own seven dispensaries, but sinqe arrival we have had two meetings of the Sayam.a.s and believe that they are carrying on faithfully. Actually, the way our Sayamas take responsibility is really remarkable. I have talked to workers of other Missions in the country, and they say that tlie difficulty of getting trained hospital Sayamas to go back and work in their own village's is almost insunnountable. Our girls vary in educatio11 1 but average seventh standard vernacular. They are trained at :Mandalay, and then do dis­pensing, nursing, and minor surgery, quite on their own, in some cases more than 24 hours' journey from other medical advioc. When one, realises that taking responsibility is not one of the strongest points of either the Burman or Karen, it is very inspiring to see these Sayam.as at work.

We are not without difficulties. The mother's death und the father's illness of the Sayama at Kyaungdawgale has necessitated the closing of the hospital for a month, but we hope to be able to open it again at the e11d of July. The rainy season is by no means a good time to close a hospital, for illness and poverty abound at this time of the year. But the joys and opportunities easily outweigh the difficulties. It seems so wo11derful that we should just happc,i to be passing through a viilage when a case of cholera is reported, an~ we are able In treat the patient and persuade the people to have injections; on again the very day that we return from Rangoon a woman is brought in a critical condition suJfering from abdominal injury, due to the misguided efforts of the Burmese shampoo woman. We cannot believe that all those things happen by chance. There is no Mission doctor, but we believe the Great Physician is guiding our efforts.

Our greatest joy at the moment is true new hospital at Ngaung Ngu. For many years Miss Cam liv~d in this village, doing medical work on her verandah. Later a small b6mboo hut was put up for use as a hospital, but the work has outgrown the building, and the Christians in Ngaung Ngu have realised this fact, and have accepted the challenge to do something about it. They have collected funds, and a good, solid wooden hospital is n,ow in course of erection. This morning Sayama Ma Kaw Leik Sein and I spent an hour discussing furniture and equip­ment for the new building. We believe that the hospital will take six beds for in-patients, and have one room for out.patient treatments and one for use as a dispensary. Kitchens, etc., are _r;eparote. But, as Sayama remarked, it is easy and great fun to decide upon the n'ecessary cupboards, stools, beds, etc., but who will pay for them? I quoti,d the English proverb that

"the ship must not be spoiled for a ha'porth of tar." The hospital i:,; a good building, so we feel that we can no longer do dressings 011 the floor, as we have in the past. Our wants arc not great, and the furniture, if m.ade in the Delta, will not be expensive ; but who will pay for them? If anyone feels that they would like to c-ontribute to the equipping of this, the first " proper " dispensary hospital in the Delta jungle, we shall be uiure than grateful and hundreds of sick people will be made more comfortable. Please make cheques payable to:

"S.P.G. Delta Mission Medical Account," and help us to carry 011 the work that Miss Cam so nobly started.

. E.W.

Missi.on to the Blind.-David Po Cho has rejoined the staff of St. Michael's School, Kemmendine. The Rev. Luke Po Kun is acting as chaplain to the blind boys.

Christian Literature Society.-With the temporary dosing of the Anglican Divinity &hool in October, 1940, the Rev. G. Appleton \Vas able to devote more of his time to literatme work. The S.P.G. agreed to give Mr. Applet011's services to the C.L.S., and the three other co-operating bodics--the Baptists, the American Episco1Yal Methodists, and the English Methodists-­agreed to continue or resume the financial grants which they had formerly given when the Rev. B. ~I. Joi1es was in charge of the C.l.,.S. Since then one Mission has been oompelled to reduCe its grant by one-third, O\ving to war conditions, but even then the Society has a useful budget for literature work. The Society has printed a Burmese Christmas card drawn by Ba Nyan. He is just finishing a magnificent picture iu colours of Christ healing the sick. It is hoped to get it printed in Shanghai if conditions are favourable.· But it will be some. months before it is ready. Mr. Appleton is editing a Bible commentary in Burmese.

The Burma Road.-Thc Rev. Gilbert Baker, C.M.S. Student Secretary at Kunming, is one .bf the numerous missionaries who have passed through Burma on the way to their I'\1ission stations in Free China. Mr. Baker writes:-" The part of China contiguous to Burma is under the care of a Chinese Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Andrew Tsu. Bishop Tsu has travelled over the whole extent of the Bnrma Road more than once, and he may soon be comjng to Burma again. On Easter Day, 1941, Bishop Tsn ordained the Rev. Wu Sheng-Te to the Priesthood. Mr. Wu has many rcfatives and friends in Rangoon, and he has visited Burma to rouse their interest and support for the work of the Chnrch in S. W. China. In addition to the Chinese who

5

have lived in Burma for a long time, there is an increasing number coming over the rood or at work in Rangoon in some way connected with the needs of the time. I have myself met many Chinese. belonging to our Chnrch here in Rangoon, anct there are probably many others. It is interesting, in this con­nection, that the new Church which has been built in Lashio may possibly be consecrated by Bishop Tsu when he comes through from Kunming. It would indeed be a fine welcome for Chinese visitors to Burma to find the Church there offering them opportunity for rest and worship. The Chinese are paying a heavy price for the Burma Road, for many towns on the rood have been bombed, and the C.M.S. Hospital and Student H06te] in Knnming were damaged last year and there was heavy loss of life. Christian students helped in the rcscne work and saved many lives.''

Plans have been made, in consultation between the Burma Christian Council and the Missionary Conferences in New York and London, for setting up a special missionary office for the convenience of the large number of Chinese missionaries who travel along the Bum1a Road.

During 1941 the centenary of Dr. Judson's translation of the Bible into Bnrmese was celebrated.

The Burm.a Christian. Council have under discussion plans for a Union Christian School. '·

Bishop's House.-The children of the Bishop's Honse School broadcast from the Rangoon studio at the service on Sunday, August rnth.

Maymyo.-The Rev. A. M. Taylor has been acting as Assistant Chaplain. With the advent of many Burmese troops, the number of Bum1cse Christians attending St. Matthew's MilSsion Church has considerably increased.

Mandalay.-Mr. Shields, formerly headmaster of St. Luke's School, Toungoo, has uow become headmaster of the Royal School at Mandalay.

Lashio.-It is hoped that Bishop Tsu will consecrate the new Church here. A Mandarin-speaking- Chinese Priest is re­quired for this parish and district to minister to the Chinese residents and those passing backwards and forwards through the town.

Car Nicobar.-The Rev. John Richardson, the Nicobarese Priest-in-charge of the MiS6ion, writes:-" Public baptism of adults took place on Easter Eve, and of infants on the evening

6

of East<,r Day. In all, 57 adult converts from heathenism and .l.l infants were baptised. Ten of the adults came from a village \\'here several of the elders had embraced Islam. They had come in «>atact there with some of the old boys of our Christian schoods, who gave them their fiTst instructions and then brought them ro the Mission to complete their JH"eparati<>n for baptism."

Ez.ek:ilel, the schoolmaster at Car Nioohar, spent the Rains of 1940 in RangOOl'L, correcting the proofs of the New Testament in Nicoharcse. This translation, begun by the Rev. G. Whitehead, had been completed by the joint efforts of Ezekiel and tl,.e Rev. J. Richardson, tn1e Nicoba•ese Priest-in-charge of the Mission. Wlnen Ezekiel arri"ed hack in Nicobar with the first 250 copies !there was great excitement. John Richardson thus describes the ,occasion:--'·' Our heathen brethren are filled with wonder, and thou!(ht that the book was the result of ma!(ic. 11iey were spellbon"d when passages of the miracles and parahles were read to them:, and constantly repeated, ' Read some more ! ' They cannot understand how .our Nicoban.se langna,g:e 1 which has never before been re.duced to writing, can he printed in a. 'hook which, when rC'ad I produces sounds like Nicohar.ese. It is a marvel ! "

Moulmein.-The Ch,iplain writes that arrangeancnts had heen made for him to hold services at the military camp outside the town. At the Rul,l,er Estate at Thanbynzayat, Holy ComnntnioH V+.'as celehrated in the bungalow of Mr. St. John, the estate manager, and all 'the {,_'lhristians on the estate. were welcomed to the service. (The manager's son was just about to leave for the Military College at Debra Dun.) These places have s.inec been <>ecupied by tbc Ja,pan<!se.

Port Blair.-T11e Rev. V. N. Kemp, chaplain, reports tb3t the Church was damaged by earthquake during the Intercession service on June 26th. One of the congregation was injured by fa11ing stones, hut the Church was ready for use again on tllc foHowing Sunday. Mr. Kemp reports that the troops have now hcien moved from Ross Islancl, as it is regarded as ooen to attack from the sea. a.nd are to he stationed on the mainlarrl.

The Deaf School.-On the. outbreak of hostilities with Japan, the 1)-:,af School, on the priority list for evacuation, moved to Uolmyin, where land ot•tsw,e the B.C.M.S. componnd bad been !;:cnrcd, and temporary buildings were being erected.

Miss .Cntler.-As reported in the R.D.M., Miss Margaret Cutler died of malaria in hospital at 'fannggyi .on AnguS't rst, Rhe hacl worked for seven years in Burma, mostly at Lonkin,

Langko.-The nearest B.C.M.S. station to the scene of hostilities is the tobacco-growing centr,c in the S.b.S., on the borclers of the States of Mawkmai, MO'ngpan, and MOngnai. The Rev. and Mrs. S. Short began work there in 1939, .and Dr. and Mrs. :r. Gurney have joined them, and a small hospital is in course of erection. The work is among Shans.

Bible School at Mohnyin.-The Rev. C. M. Johnston has revived the Bible Schooi for the training of indigenous leaders-­e~pecially evangelists--which was confined to Jinghpaws {from its inception in 1932).

l\lISSION TO THE BLIND OF BrRMA.

Ministers to the spiritual and temporal needs of the Burmese blind folk. £7 per annum will enable the Mission to make a useful Christian citizen of a blind, uncared-for Burmese child. Groups can be formed for raising this and less amounts. Collecting boxes, leaflets, and all particulars can be obtained either from the Hon. Secretary, Miss D. H. Jackson, Flat 2, 333, Baring Road, Grove Park, S.E.12, or from the Hon. Treasurer, John H. Gray Burbridge, Esq. "Jottings" is issued periodically and circulated to subscribers.

BURMA BAND 01'' PRAYER, S.P.G.

A little company who have pledged themselves to help win Burma for Christ. No subscription; the one obligation a daily remembrance of Burma in Prayer. In no way supersedes other guilds and organisations. Embraces all who are working for Burma, either in Bunna or in England. Members are of many nationalities. All are united in a daily uplift of mind for Burma; as they say in the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be Thy Name," and remember that in Burma the name of Buddha is honoured before the name of Jesus. For further particulars, write to the Secretary-Miss Dorothy Atwool, Roseland, Sennen, Cornwall. Collecting Boxes can be obtained of Miss Atwool.
