This was followed by a letter} S¥om the General Secretary.of the Church Missionary Society, as fol-
Sin—I notice a letter in the "Daily Telegraph," signed "W. Additen," about the death of the two CLS. lady missionaries in Chins.
This letter appears to me as rather a travesty of the actual situation, These ladies were at the time of their capture by bandits travelling down the river from their station under Consular orders. They were not, as your correspondent seems to imply, acting contrary to Consular advice.
The missionaries of our society have never taken the that when they run vocation they consider it up to the Government to protect them. They know full well the risks they take, and are prepared to face them; but when British Consuls give advice to our people it is our invariable policy to instruct} the missionaries to carry it out.
Yours ete., Witson Casi, General Secretary, Church Missionary Society.
Salisbury Square, F.C4., Oct. 22.
