WOMEN WORKERS. URGENT NEED. AT the present time, when more women workers are needed than ever before, when there is such, a call for them to work in the Master's Vineyard, it seems to me that many are holding back for lack of know- ledge. The hymn says: To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe. To tend the lone and fatherless, 'Tis Angels' work below." Then why not have a share in it ? What keeps applicants back ? Is it money ? It need not be. The cost of training at the C.P.A.S. Home is only E50 a year. You could not get board and lodging nowa- days anywhere else for less. Students generally &tay two years, bub age and experience shorten the time of training in some cases. There are bursaries of Y,25 to' help those who most require it. The salaries now are on the increase. Some vicars are offering Y,90 or £ 100 and even more a year. After all, we are not out for money," and although the workman— or shall I say workwoman—is worthy of her hire, yet St. Paul says, Having food and raiment, let us be therewith content." As one who was trained at the Deaconess' Home, 9, Brunswick Square, Bristol, I should like to write a few lines as a testi- mony to the happy time my co-workers- and I spent there. There were the com- panionships of every one of the Sisters, and it is delightful when congenial spirits meet together. There were the lectures some of us found that our scholarship had become a little rusty, but each one was willing to help the other, and there were books to suit the most erudite and the most ignorant. The meals are enlivened by respective I parochial experiences, sallies of wit, and cheerful conversation. There are oppor- tunities for all gifts to be put into exercise— the musical ones, the handy ones, the clever ones, the ordinary ones—all find their niche. The parochial activities What a vista of interest they open up What various experiences are ours How we. learn to understand human nature Some of us are very thankful for the lessons we learned in punctuality and businesslike, habits, &c. Above all, the Christian atmo- sphere, the feeling that we were all one in Christ Jesus, the times of prayer and praise —they will not be forgotten by us who had the privilege of being students there. We invite others to share the same happy experiences. This small account of the life at the I Church Pastoral Aid Society's Training Home, Bristol, is given by the Society's workers as representing their sentiments.

A NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT. IN connection with the aerial service be- tween London and Amsterdam, two sets of aeroplane landing wheels and tyres to suit ihe special conditions of the Dutch landing grounds were required in a hurry. The Palmer Tyre, Ltd. (who it will be remembered made the landing wheels and tyres of every bombing and fighting aero- plane that left these shores during the great war), did not happen to have this particular type in stock in London at the moment, but with their usual enterprise immediately got into touch with their Paris house. The tyres were handed over to the Paris representative of the Aerial Transport and Travel, Ltd., brought over to London by the next Air-co machine, and within five hours these landing wheels and tyres were ready for fitting to the Bri- tish Aerial Transport Company's machine waiting to proceed to Amsterdam.

ST. ANNE'S, SOHO. FAMOUS FOR MUSIC. I ST. ANNE's, Soho, has been a famous home of Church music ever since its foundation in 1685. King William III. gave an organ ,to the church in 1699, and some if its stops are still in use. Its first organist, in 1700, Dr. Croft, wrote the well-known tune, now sung to "0 God, our help." It is called St. Anne," from this church. Sir Joseph Barnby began the series of Bach Passion music services in Lent, which have been continued for forty-five years. In Dr. E. H. Thome's time as organist Bach's Christmas Oratorio was sung each winter. This custom has been repeated for the last .seventeen years. Dr. Thorne also gave many Bach organ recitals. Now the organ itself needs thorough overhauling. It is twelve years since it was last cleaned. This will cost £125. Towards this 0£49 3s. 10d.-I-ias beenalready: given, and a kind offer of 10 guineas has been made if four other similar gifts are sent. One donation of JS10 has been received. Queen Alexandra has kindly sent X5. The rector and church- wardens appeal for help.

A BISHOP'S PORTRAIT. RIPON HALL CEREMONY. AT Ripon Hall, Oxford, a portrait of the late Bishop Boyd Carpenter has been unveiled. The ceremony took place last Friday evening, and the Rev. H. D. Major, ithe principal, presided. The ceremony of unveiling was performed by the Rev. W. M. Jackson. He Tleferred to the late Bishop's fame as a preacher and his advocacy of 'the League of Nations, and said that the reception of the League in this country would have been less favourable but for his efforts. He spoke of the debt which Ripon College owed to him, and said his kindness to the college had been unvarying and his assistance invaluable. He had helped by his own generosity, and the interest he had en- listed to place its finances on a sound footing had enabled his colleagues to steer a wise course in times of difficulty.

ANTI-CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDA AT a meeting of the Herts Clerical and Lay Society, held at St. Albans last July, a paper was read on anti-Christian pro- paganda of the present day, the avowed object of the paper being increased moral and pecuniary support for the Christian Evidence Society in its work for the de- fence of the faith. At a meeting of the same body in the month of October the following resolution was unanimously ca,r,ried:-That in the opinion of this meeting the Christian Evidence Society, as the only existing organisation for en- countering and counteracting the efforts of an active anti-Christian propaganda, deserves the hearty support of the Chris- tian Church, and that a branch of that society be forthwith formed for St. Albans and district. Active steps are now being taken to carry this resolution into effect.

WELSH CHURCH .PAPER. AN OSWESTRY NOTE'. THE Oswestry Deanery Magazine eon- tains the following note by its editor: "One of the signs of the new life in the Church of Wales is a resolution on the part of the authorities to issue a paper which will supply news and in- formation .and instruction with regard to the Church. It is decided to have a weekly, bilingual paper incorporated with the CHURCH FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It is plainly the duty of every • Welsh Churchman to take in this paper, which will help to link together the four Welsh dioceses, as well as keeping the reader in touch with the life of the Church gener- ally. Those to whom the weekly 2d. is a consideration might share the pa,per with another. This new move may also serve as a reminder to all Church people of the great desirability of taking in a weekly paper with Church news. News has been defined as tiding from N. E. W. ] and S. Few would do more to remedy the narrow, selfish parochial out- look than the regular habit of reading a paper which tells us not only about our fellow Christians in this island, but also of all those gathered out of the j lands, from the east and from the west,: j from the north and from the south.' While other Church papers may make j more appeal to some of us, yet for the •; | average parishioner we have no hesita- < tion in recommending the above paper as mo&t suitable. The proprietors (17, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, Lon- don) would probably send a number of j free specimen or)-piec, to any incumbent who would circulate them." —\
