Very soon most of our Home workers will only be at Home in the sense of not being in the Mission-field. We wish them all the rest and refreshment they have so well earned. It will not burden their memories, we trust, to carry with them some notices of what we look forward to in the autumn. To think and pray over projects that must be full of results and opportunities, and to make them known, will be of greater service than is easily realised. The Valedictory Meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 10th, in Queen's Hall, Langham Place, Regent Street, at 2.30 p.m. The Valedictory Address will be given by the Rev. Preb. H. W. WebbPeploe, M.A. By the kind permission of the Vicar, the Rev. Canon Acheson, there will be a service of Holy Communion the same morning in All Souls', Langham Place, at 11.30. We hope to make arrangements for tea in Morley Hall, Regent Street, immediately after the meeting.

At Tremeirchion, the Sunday-school still keeps up. Seven large classes, consisting of men and women as well as boys and girls, greatly enjoyed listening to tales of the East, although they were told in English and not in their own native language. Tours in Herefordshire and Monmouth taken by the Hon. W. Sugden furnished some cheering results. At Hereford, there were good attendances and a large outlay on books at the Ladies' College, at the Y.W.C.A., and at St. James' Schoolroom, as well as at the annual meeting held in the Woolhope Club Room on May 16th. At the latter, the Bishop had promised to preside, but he was prevented by illness, and Archdeacon Bather supplied his place. The collection realised 87. 10s., a great advance on that of last year. At Chepstow, the interest seems increasing; the annual meeting there on May 28th was well attended, and the amount collected was larger than on any previous occasion. * At Clifton, on Sunday, June 10th, sermons were preached in Christ Church, and at St. Alban's, Long Ashton, by the Rev.
