for war" On the same occasion an other brilliant statesman, Lord Robert Cecil pointed out that Christianity is very poor kind of christianity if it is not prepared to preach peace as warmly as it did war, and he affirmed that what is really preventing the return of peace is the spirit of excess sive nationalism. But while patriot ism was a fine thing it was a false patriotism that rejoiced in the mis- fortunes of other countries. That ought to be a doctrine familiar to all Christians, for every chapter of th3 New Testament, every article in the creed. presupposed and implied the doctrine of a universal church"
 At this point Bishop Atwood gave statistical resume of the activities of the diocese and episcopate during the year. Continuing, he said;
 After a period of some discourage ments and depression owing largely to the great war and the events that have followed upon it, we are able to present for the year 1920 most encouraging report along both ma terial and spiritual lines, and this in spite of the hard times that have affected Arizona as well as other parts of the country. The number of persons confirmed, 2f7, is by far the StSl ever COllllI luco III tlllS trict, more than double what it was in 1919, and larger by more than 50 per cent than in any previous year in the history of the church.
 We have been fortunate in secur- ing several new clergymen, the Rt. Rev. Robert H. Mize, now bishop of Salina, was for six months the eff ficient locum tenens at St. Luke's church, Prescott, after the removal of the rector. the Rev. G. c. Golden, to Bisbee. The Rev. Harry G. Gray of the diocese of Los Angeles, became vicar of St. Pauls Mission, Winslow, Trinity Mission at Kingman, and the unorganized mission at Holbrook on November l. The Rev. B. J. Dar- nellie of the same diocese was ap- pointed vicar of the combined mis- sions of St. Phillips, Clifton. and St. James, Morenci, in December. In the latter part of the same month the Rev. U. E. Brown of the missionary district of Western Nebraska began his work at St. PauIs mission, Yuma. One only of our clergymen has re- moved from the district-Rev. H. S. Brewster, for many years connected with the church in Arizona, first at Bisbee and later at Winslow. The Rev. Alsop Leffingwell. who for two winters did valiant work at St. And rews Mission, Nogales, fel com pelled to give up his work there, all though he is still economically con- nected with this missionary district. We are perhaps better equipped with men than ever before, although we still need two or three additional clergymen. Owing to the generous response to our need by the presiding bishop and council, and by friends outside of, as well as inside the state, we have been able to take a great stride forward.
 lnstitutions-Indian Work
 The hospital and mission of the Good Shepherd at Fort Defiance has moved on it's useful course of minis tering to the Navajo Indians on their large reservation in spite of certain difficulties of a temporary charac- ter which now and then have inter- fered with its progress. With great regret we had to part with Mrs. Laffin, the efficient nurse and CO., worker with the superintendent, Miss Cady, but her place has been nobly filled by Miss Rowntree, formerly connected with the Alaska Mission. We still need third person to sup plement her work and that of the superintendent. A deaconess or a practical church worker who has some knowledge of nursing combined with executive ability, would be a valuable asset to this work and sup ply a long felt need from the begin ming. We have been enabled during | the past year to put the beautiful stone chapel into fine condition and | repair the trouble that threatened it's destruction This is due to the gen. erosity of a friend connected with | the Westchester, New York, branch of the Women's Auxiliary. Our most pressing needs are for the enlarge ment of the hospital by the erection of a wing or dormitory for the sole use of the women and young girls; | for central heating plant to dc
 away with twenty or more stoves which require extra work and are also
 a menace from fire. and also for an
 electric lighting system to do away I with many lamps A few thousand dollars would secure all these objects
 and save a good deal of extra labor
 Tuberculosis Work
 St. Luke's home, Phoenix, ha: moved along in it's regular routine oi l work. Necessary repairs have beer
 made in some of the 30 building: I for equipment. The medical director | has retired from the work and hi place has been supplied temporaril, by a physician from Phoenix, wh'
 has visited the hospital daily. A resi-
 dent physician has now been secured Dr. E. w Phillips, who began hi
 work February 1, 1921.
 During the summer we removed
 about 20 of our patients to privat
 sanitorium near Prescott to avoid tn
 midsummer heat of Phoenix. St Luke's in the Mountains will b.
 erected as a summer caup nea Prescott at an expense of about S20, 900 for land and buildings. Most o this sum has been secured. As pa tients will be removed from bot Phoenix and Tucson, there will b little or no increase in the running expenses.
 Our greatest needs at St. Luke's 1 Phoenix, are for an administratio building which will contain office and also store rooms, which will als remove the disturbance caused in tn infirmary by having the present of : | fees located in that building. Te ] thousand dollars would secure sue a building. We also need S25O0 o s $3000 to provide a small house for tn doctor and his family, as the increas in the number of nurses has mad
