Prior to the concert, Madame Carola explained that music was an 'expression, and that the modern composers now had a dis- tinct idea when they made their works. Just as an artist showed his feelings in a painting, in colour or in lines, ao a musician could express all feeling through music.
Mrs. Dinnen played her pieces with great ability, giving as an extra "Minuette" by Paderewski. Madame Carola, who sang sey eral Bongs charmingly, amused the kiddles very much and kept them thoroughly interested with her fairy stories.
The programme of music was as follows:-

The following telegram was re- ceived UIL Saturday from Mr. Sanders, National Secretary for England of the World Peuce Union:-
"Request all the Churches in Hong Kong to observe two minutes' silence for world prayer on March 1 at 6 p.m., in connection with the London Naval Conference."-

World Prayer for Peace The world prayer for peace, which will be recited in all Churches, is as follows:
"O Hidden Life of God, Outside which nothing can exist, Help us to see Thee in the face of
our enemies.
And to love Thee in them;
So shall Thy Pence opread over the
world,
And Thy will be done on Earth as
it is done in Heaven."
