HONGKONG, NOVEMBER 22x0, 1904.
Ir is a curious illustration of the difference in the manner in which the more political side of religion is coming to be viewed at the commencement of a new century that two controversies, nominally religious, should in the European countries have deeply exercised peoples with a little else in common as the French and Scotch. Although seemingly distinct, the two ques tions have yet a good deal in common, în that both are subjects not of doctrine, but of the relations--of Church and State, and this it is that renders both subjects of far wider interest than such questions usually excite outside the pale of ordinary-doctrinal
find themselves left out in the cold. The main lesson to be learnt, even from a merely secular point of view, is the extreme inadvisability of seeking by too Darrow formularies to bind futurity irres. pective of cbanging times and changing conditions. In both cases the sympathies of all the world may be said to be enlisted for both sides. The feelings of the House of Lords in giving effect to the tarrowest view of the original act on which the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland had form ed itself was, it may be safely affirmed, on the side of the losing cause. The sympathies of by far the majority of the French people are probably in favour of the Religious Orders, against which they yet by con siderable majorities find themselves con- pelled to decide:

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]
THE SMOKING CONCERT,
Very panctually His Excellency the Governor appeared at the City Hall last night for the Intarport Smoking Concert, and after a bar of the national anthem had been played, the Chair- man (Mr. E. W. Mitchell) called upon the Band of FL.M.S. Vengeance for the first item, à lively selection from "Hiawatha.”
In addition to those at the numerous tables arranged on the floor, there were numerous auditors upstairs. One of the gorgeous fúnkies: from the "Dorothy" east put up the numbers, and was greeted with ironic applause at each appearance.
The Brst voor contribution was by Mr. F. Auston who sang "Old Heidelburg, to Mr. Daniel's accompaniment. He has a nice, flexible voice, and when he gets more confidence, will probably develop into a real singer. He was more at home as the song proceeded, producing" with batter effect than in the opening lines.
A great bust of applause followed the chairman's announcement that Mr. Tozer would now sing, and his appearance. (dressed for the mart of a รายก who had been away on a "beaufoast") was greeted with yolla of Up Devon." He was in "great form," and a local hit he made at someone known as the Count" awoke a joyons pandemonium. (Eneoro). He next, sang of the loss of a safety pin, and the company seemed quite concerned about it.
Of quito a different order was Mr. P. W. Goldring's contribution, & song entitled "My love is come," a carolsome ditty which he rendered with good voice and appropriate ex- pre-sion. Mr. Bovet was bis accompanist. Boing encored, Mr. Goldring, evidently a highly trained singer. sang "My Great Heart. In this be was not so happy...:
Mr. R. Sutherland followed with a musical- sketch entitled "Our Penny Reading." His imitations of the various performers were punctuated by gurglings of bottles. His imita- tion of a village spinster singing was excellent, and very funny. He was better still as the little boy reciting. The climax came with the wooden-armed man's recitation.
The naval band then played "Populonia," apparently a coined word for "popular airs.” While it was on, two of the cricket captains appearod and wore cheered.
The exhibition of sparring by Messra Arms- trong and Franks was really well worth watch- ing. It was a good match. Armstrong was a sweet tempered lad with a very quick counter. and a pretty left band play for favourite. Franks was a stayer, and on the second round more than held his own. In the third and fourth, the points (if counted) would probably mostly have gone to Armstrong.
The band played Choristers" during the interval. With Mr. A. G. Ward at the piano, Mr. G. H. Edwards' sang of the Dear Land." It was very carefully rendered in a voice that. reached every part of the hall, and evoked a hearty burst of applause.

He was drossed in a quaint "knockabout," costume, and I had a very professional manner of making his points. He had to sing again, and gave a clever imitation of George Robey, which greatly delighted the company.
