Vice-Presidents Elected
The annual meeting of the Hong Kong "Auxiliary, British and, For- eign Bible Society, was held in the Bible Depot on Tuesday. "Mr. J. L. MacPherson, presided, and in his opening remarks apologised for the absence of the President, Bishop Hall He also welcomed Mr. D. P. Wong, the new secretary of the South China Bible Society.
The following office-bearers for the ensuing year were then ap- pointed:-
Vice-Presidents: Sít William Hornell, Sir Henry Pollock, and Miss Drury.
The Rev. W. H. Hudspeth, the new General Secretary of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Į then addressed the meeting and took as his theme "Are The Chi- nese Interested In The Bible?"
He said. "I am rather lost to know how to present to a Hong Kong audience the question of promoting interest in the British and Foreign Bible Society. A quarter of a century of my life has been lived in out-of-world villages in Yunnan and Kwelchow. amongst aboriginal people called the Flowery Miao who thirty years ago had never seen a Bible. In South-West China, amongst my Flowery Miao, the Gospel of St. Mark was the first book the people ever handled and the effect was well-righ miraculous. I
recall visiting the slek in a village called Hmao-tchao-peh. After entering the shabby mud-built but and sentlig myself on a low stool. it took me a little while to become accustomed to the darkness. The sick man was lying on goat skins, spread near a wood-fire on the ground. He was wearing home- spun hemp clothes, the place look- ed so desolate that I could hardly refrain from asking him why in spite of all the sickness he could be" se contented. This is the reason, he said, taking a much worn book from underneath his wooden pillow, and handing me a copy of St. John's Gospel.

the fact that renewal of registra tion of a number of marks of which the registration period (14 years) expired, during the year under review, "was applied" for." On the other hand there was" a` de- crease in "the number of applica- tions for registration, and in the number of certificates granted.

Socialist Plea

GERMAN
AIMS
An claborate statement of the Government's attitude towards Colonial claims and mandates was made in the House of Lords by the
Earl of Plymouth (Foreign Under- Secretary), states the "Morning Post."
Lord Plymouth rejected on be half of the Government a motion by the Socialist peer, Lord Noel- Buxton, that the mandate system should be extended to suitable British and other colonies.
Opening the debate, Lord Noel- Burton argued that if Great Bri- tain kept her colonies as a closed. preserve she was heading for war. He was not proposing the trans férence of territory to Germany. Adoption of his proposal would be a contribution to the advancement of international harmony; it would promote the interests of the League of Nations.
Lord Lugard moved an, amend- †ment, eliminating the proposal to place certain colonies under the mandate system, while supporting the principle of equal participation in economic advantages.
Lord Arnold supported the mo- tion while taking advantage of the opportunly of attacking the Ottawa trade agreements; the Marquess of Crewe (lehder of the Liberals) condemned the adoption Loyd regretted that the debate of the protective system and Lord was taking place as it would tend to mislead opinion abroad.
