Give your Baby Glaxo, and watch the difference after a few days; see how restfully he sleeps, how contented he is and how steadily he increases in weight. Ask your Doctor!

A Patronal Festival and Thanks. giving Service will be held at St. Peter's Church on St. Peter's Day, June 29th.
Holy Communion will be celebrat eding 7 a.m. and Festal Evensong at 6 p.m." The Very Rev. Alfred Swann, MA., D.S.C., Dean of Hong Kong, who will preach at St. Peter's Church on that day, said in his letter to the congregation.

"Your Church is dedicated to St. Peter, Apostle and Martyr, the very human and loveable leader of the Earliest Church. He is your Patron Saint, not because we can be sure that he is able to take any active interest in you. but because
