My dear Lady Glasgow1
That is a beautiful testimony from the Scotsman to the great work at Sta. Cruz, Bishop Cecil Wilson is keeping it up, and now it is under British protection his work will be the less hindered. I believe the Church to be built in memory of Bp John Selwyn is to be in the island of Florida, where there is a considerable number of scholars. He says that everywhere the teaching of Christianity is called by even the heathen the preaching of Peace. Sometimes a village sends a deputation to ask for the Preaching of Peace, and really they do begin by giving up wars and deadly feuds—also by keeping the Sabbath, which last is so congenial to their laziness that they make two or three Sabbaths in a week.
Hursley is preparing for a great celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Consecration of the Church on the 24th of October.
We are to hear of South Africa on Sunday week. No doubt you have seen the book on the University Mission which is just coming to a second edition.
I am afraid people think there is too much good advice in Mothers in Council, and want more variety. There is an interesting appeal for the deaf and dumb mothers coming in the next number.
Yours very sincerely
