The Tabernacle Or Text Of Meeting
First there was the Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting as it was called where God used to meet with the children of Israel in their joureny ings,
When they came to a stopping place Moses used to take the Tent and pitch it afar off from the camp and he called it the Tent of Meet- ing. People used to go out to that tent to meet God and it was this meeting with God that made the children of Israel so great.
We read that when Moses made the Tabernacle the people offered their gifts so freely that too much was brought and Moses had to give commandment Let neither man nor woman make any more offering for the work of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bring ing as the stuff was sufficient for all the work to make it and too much."' (Exodus 36, 6.7.).
And we are told too that the cloud, the token of God's presence, covered the Tent of Meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle (Exodus 40.34),

King David the Altar, chanting Psalm XXIV. wanted to build a House of God. "The earth is the Lord's." The It was the ambition of his life Bishop then took his seat in the to build one.

Then followed in. 1840 St. Paul's College Chapel which now serves as the Bishop's private chapel. I think it says much for the foresight of the Rev, Vinçent Stanton that he saw-at-the-outset the need for building, in addition to the Cathe- dral, a place where men could be trained for the ministry-for` that was the intention of St. Paul's College.
The first Christ Church, Shameen,' was built in 1849 and St. Peter's in 1871. It was not till 1883 that the first distinctively Chinese Church was built in connection with what is now the Chung Hwa Sheng Kung Hai. This was the old St. Stephen's in New Street. This had to be pulled down for street improve ments and in 1992 the present church at West Point was built.
Then in 1500 and 1901 All Saint's, Yaumati, and Holy Trinity, Kow- loon, were built, being the frit churches of our communion to be erected this side of the harbour.
In 1007 St. Luke's, Pakboi, was conscerated and in 1911 the present St. Paul's College Chapel and Chi- nese Church; in 1913, St. Mary's, Causeway Bay; in 1915, St. Barna bas, Limehow in 1916, St. John's, Yaumati; and in 1922, the Church of Our Saviour, Canton,
If to some of you it seems as if the Chinese Churches were at first slow to come (the first St. Stephen's was not built till 40 years after the Cathedral) the reason I suppose is simply because there were not in those days the Chinese Christians to fill them. Eighty years ago when the Cathedral was built I expect you could count the Chinese Christians of our communion on your fingers. Bat once the work of building Chi- neae Churches began it has gone on steadily and I think steady growth is the best. There is still much to be done and not least in a growing lace like Kowloon and what, we must do is to press on steadily in faith.

The Temple by its very structure bare witness to the facts, frat, that the way into the holicat was not yet opened, that man did not have full and free approach to the Pre- sence of God because the Mediator, Christ Jesus, had not yet come and secondly, that God's house had not yet really become a bousa of prayer for all nations.
