MISSIONS TO SEAMEN

It will be of interest to many in Wellington who are interested in the Missions to Seamen to know that in spite of many difficulties the society in London has been able to maintain all its stations. With the exception of those in the enemy's ports it has been a case of "business as ÜBUal during alterations." The port of Hobart is about to have a station of the society established in that city. The Bishop of Tasmania, while Dean of Melbourne, was keenly interested in tho work of ths_ Missions to Seamen, and has been desirous of doing something for seamen visiting Hobart. Tho London Committee have co-operated with Dr. Stephen in the matter, with the result that Mr. W. E. Cocks, of Sydney, is now at Hobart making the preparatory arrangements. During his stay in Wellington, as Missioner to Seamen, both Mr. Cocks and Mrs.- Cocks made many friends, who will be interested in this latest development.
