PARISH . VISITING BY AEROPLANE

.[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] IH.—After four years in Australia, where I am Rector of Illeannia, New South Wales, a parish as large as England, I ave returned to Great Britain, my native land, to enlist upport among stay-at-home Britons for the work of the Mach of England in the north-west corner of New South Vales.

One of our most urgent needs is a D.H. Moth aeroplane, he cost of which is about £800. During the War, before I was ordained, I served as a pilot in the Air Force. The gift of an eroplane for Church of England work in this outpost of mpirc would be of enormous use and would double my capa- ity for useful work, enabling me to visit isolated settlers in v vast parish where roads are few and bad.

I wondered whether some reader of the Spectator willing to Ipport the work of the Church of England, and who believes a promoting the welfare of the Empire, would like to present o my parish one of the aeroplanes that I have mentioned. oquiries may be addressed to me, care of the headquarters of he Colonial and Continental Church Society, 9 Serjeants' Inn, leet Street, E.C. 4.—I am, Sir, &e., L. DANIELS
