Last week, aboard a ship moored in the Thames, Missions to Seamen held its annual meeting and observed its centenary. The Rev. Cyril Brown. O.B.E., proudly totted up the last year's achievements: during the year the mission visited 57,000 ships, made 5,500 hospital calls, arranged some 12.500 entertainments, conducted nearly 13,500 religious services. And in its seven-story London headquarters alone it served seamen 61,000 meals, provided 54,000 night lodgings, and gave away 24,000 books.
