POINTS FROM LETTERS

THE " SPECTATOR " IN THE BAHA3LAS

As a reader of the Spectator of over thirty yeirs, I would like to add to the testimony of the Rev. Edward Hanson to the extent of its circulation, and the kindness of subscribers. It is my privilege to arrange for the supplying of newspapers and magazines to the lonely mission priests of the Bahama Islands (Nassau Mission), many of whom are entirely dependent upon such literature as may reach them by mail. Several of these priests are already receiving the Spectator, which they greatly appreciate, but I am anxious to hear of more sub- scribers who would undertake to post it out regularly, and, on receipt, of a postcard to that effect, I will gladly supply an address where it would be welcome. May I add that I should be most grateful for offm-s of any good magazine to be sent out regularly, other than Punch, which already goes to every priest in the Mission?—Ant WELSFORD, 5 Strathray Gardens, N.W. 3.

P.S.—It may be of interest to add that for many years my own copy of the Spectator has gone on to an East London Settlement, and thence to a reader in South Africa.
