Bax-May I beg the hospitality of your columns to invite the men going to the front to, if possible, attend ons or other of the numerous places of worship on Sunday at in order to commend to God themselves and the righteous cause" where- in their King and country send them. Most of us helieve that we dare not dis pense with the blessing of Almighty God, and that in life or in dasth it will be given to those who sincerely seek it. I hepo, also, that members of the Churches will assemble in large numbers to join their prayors with those of the brave men who jeopardize their lives in order to defend us and our children againat a mighty and unscrupulous foo.

THE announcement will be received with general satisfaction, we are sure, that arrangements are being made to show some mark of appreciation of the patriotism of those who are about to leave the Colony in order to join the British forces in the field. After a fare well dinner, on Saturday night, at the Hongkong Hotel the contingent will be entertained with a variety programme. at the Theatre Royal Congratulations and thanks are due to those who have taken the initiative in this matter. 10 is to be regretted that so many men have gone from our midst, since the war began, to answer the call of King and country without any public re cognition. Though the circumstances surrounding their departures mayTM have precluded the possibility of any thing in the nature of the demonstra- tion which is now Being organised, at least they might have been presented with some little permanent memento. Now that a number of volunteers have been released simultaneously for active ser
