EXTRACT FROM LETTER THE INDIAN CHURCH MEASURE : The Rev.

Oswald Young- husband writes ; The Indian Church Measure will before long come before the National Church Assembly. At the recent Church Congress the Bishop of Bombay sought to persuade people that those who did not agree with him- in desiring the Measure wanted to have racial churches. An English official who has devoted much time to speaking on this subject in India, tells me that whilst there is a great deal of opposition to the Measure he only found one man at one meeting who desired racial churches. When the Measure comes before people in England they may do well to consider whether it might be best not to sanction a measure which is strongly opposed but to deal with the points which require attention in some other way."

The Rev. W. Brooke, East Farndon Rectory, Market Harborough, who receives the Spectator regularly from an unlmown benefactor, asks if the anonymous donor would kindly make his name and address known to his grateful recipient. Each number is afterwards sent to a missionary in Central Africa.
