new rectories and parish houses; an
increase from 80 10 nearly l40 IN
the number Of priests economically
connected with the diocese and more
than double the number Of commun-

der and in 1919 made an extended
tour Of Europe and the Near East

tive and encouraging report Of the
sympathetic interest shown almost
universally.
