is sadly needed in this great mining town and county seat.
 NogaIes
 The fund for a new rectory has been substantially increased and work , will probably be begun upon it in q short time. In addition to work in the unorganized mission at Gala bass and Elgin. the rector hopes to establish services in Patagonia.
 Douglas
 St. Stephens church has had a prosperous year and in February celebrated the tenth anniversary of the church. Plans are being dis cussed for the enlargement of the church and during the coming year this mission expects to relinquish all aid from the board of missions and to apply to be received as a parish. In addition to this work the rector had charge of Bisbee during the long vacancy there. and he is also to hold monthly services at Fort Huachuca. d new unorganiZed mission where there are many communicants of the church among the officers and their families The most inspiring service was held there on a recent visit by the bishop.
 Bishee
 1 After q long interregnum, the Rev. l Harold B. Brewster. has taken charge of St. Johns church. The population has greatly increased. It is the larg est and most prosperous mining town in Arizona and growth ought to come and will come to the church. A rectory and a parish house are 1 both needed here and could be built probably at cost Of $3,000 each. Tombstone and Tempe
 l reported last year that Tombstone and Tempe were the only unorganiz- ed missions which could not report progress owing to certain local con- dtions. I think now the outlook is d little more hopeful for both inas- much as more of our church people are to be found in the normal school at Tempe. which makes our mission important. MT. Cocks. who is q canon | of Trinity Pro- Cathedral working under the immediate direction of the bishop, hopes to hold more frequent services during the coming year. At Tombstone there is some prospect of working the mines once more and II this is done, prosperity will come to the church as well as to the town The rector of Douglas is in charge and on a recent visit the bishop found q small but devoted little band attached to our services and to St Pauls church, which, as you remem- Der. is the oldest of our churches IT Arizona Occasionally services arc held at the Grand Canyon, Castle Hot Springs and Iron Springs. where an opportunity is given to minister to some of the many tourists who visit especially the two former places and to give them information con- corning the work in Arizona.
 The next points to be attacked ant
 where services are required are Cliff ton and Morenci, which have beel visited only once this year; Gas; Grande and Parker. centers of country about to be irrigated; Miam and probably Hayden, important min
 ing camps.
 Institutions
 I suppose 1 ought to class the "Ari zona Record" as an institution rathe than a mission, although it is an i'm portant missionary agency. Again ; remind you that all church peopl should take q ccnero. church papel
 the Spirit of Missions and our owI
 diocesan paper The Record is tn organ of the bishop and the clerg
 and conveys information that ou
 own people should have. There shoul , 1 come reports from every clergyman c
 what is going on in his own paris z or mission. The subscription list
 lamentably small The obligation laid upon the clergy to see to it tha it's circulation Is increased. either b
 putting it in the hands of some or , ganization like the Women's AuXii v iary or taking charge of the matte 1 personally and thus relieve the heaV financal burden that rests upon tn
 bishop, q burden that would be an
 solutely unnecessary if others WI
 take little thought and care.
 St. Luke's Home
 |, Our tuberculosis hospital has ha | good year with more patients tha ever before and constantly oblige 1 to turn away those who seek admit tance. We have been fortunate l having $i,500 added to our endoW , ment fund, which is still very made auate for the purpose, as it amount , now to only $ll.50o.
