The annual service for members of the medical profession and St. John Ambulance Brigade was held yesterday morning, at St. John's Cathedral when the preacher "was the Rev. H. W. Baines
Among those who attended the service were Professor W. 1. Gerrard, of the University of Hong Kong, Dr. S. 8. Strahan, Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Woo, Dr. and Mrs. E. W. Kirk, Dr. J.

It is the common task of medi- cine and religion to make those words come true. mon to both Christianity and mie- dicine that they attempt to do so without respect of persons. Lord Hc der speaking in London this week said that once a person has made the avowal, “Doctor, I am a sick man. Please help me," there must be no thought in the doc- tor's mind of who the patient is or what he is. There is no room either in the practise of medicine or the Gospel of Jesus Christ for parochialism. Neither the one nor the other can be chia: both arc international and universal in scope. Of Course it follows that the ethical demands made upon two such pro- fessions for whom money making is not the princple purpose are correspondingly severe.

The fact that less than 10 per cent of those qualified in Hong Kong have gone into China and less than 1 per cent into mis- alonary work can only inspire in
us the hope that the moral and spiritual climate of the medical school may be such that in fu- ture the percentage wil not be so low.

I am sorry if what I have said so far would have seemed more appropriate in a deliverance be- tore a medical association but I belleve it may not have been an impertinence if I have been able to show from the ordinary man's point of view how deeply we rely upon and respect the ministry of doctors, nursing sisters, and the whole medical profession.
