CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IN CHINA.
HISTORY AND OBJECT,
The history of the Christian College, now temporarily located at Macau, dates from the year 1885. Then for the first time definite efforts were made in the United Staves to raise
an endowment for an institution to be located at Canton, and patterned after the colleges at Beirut and Constantionople. Early in 1866 the Trustees of "The Christian College in solicitation of funds for such an endowment, China," then recently organized, authorized the

It will be evident that such an institution as the one whose plan is here outlined must have. great need of financial aid. "The fact that it has a partial endowment only makes its opportunity the larger and therefore its ́needi the greater. The vastness and importance of the work which it Gnds itself all but able to undertake constitute a strong motive for strengthening its resources. Educational. institutions are always poor when brought face. to face with the work that ought to be done. A good school is always a money-using, sometimes a money-losing, but rarely, if ever, a money-making enterprise. There need be no hesitancy about further aiding of such an institution on the score that it already has a

FOOTBALL.
R. A. . H. K. F. C.
On the Hongkong Football Club ground at Happy Valley, on Saturday afternoon, a match was played between the ti. K, F. C, and a team from the R. G. A. The weather during the afternoon was very favourable and before the play started a large gathering assembled to witness, what turned out to be, a very exciting game. Military spectators, occupying seats behind the ropes were present in great num. bers, and cheered their colleagues lustily as they entered the ring. Both team were punctual and at 4 o'clock sharp took up their respective places. Winning the toss, the Club commenced play and soon took the ball across the field, but the soldiers captured it and made a rush past the Club halves, attempting to get within shooting distance, but Austen stepped in

The school year is divided into two semes- ters, and each semester includes eighteen full weeks of class-room work.
The hours each week given above mean bours of recitation. By the time students reach
the College course they are supposed to have formed habits of study, and are accordingly given fewer hours in recitation and allowed more hours for the private preparation of their subjects. The smaller number of hours does not therefore indicate a lightening of the work.
The College department requires a high standard of Chinese for entrance. In it the study of Chinese is confined to translation. Arrange- ments are made whereby the student will com- plete the other study of Chinese before leaving ditions of receiving a diploma from any the Preparatory department. One of the con. department of the institution will be ability to write a clear style of Chinese composition,
book language into colloquial and accuracy. Chinese into English. The Chinese instruction in translating English into Chinese and in the institution. is directed towards the securing of these ends.
Specifically stated the present needs of the College are for college buildings, residences for professors, equipments of the various de- partments, increased endowment, and contri- butions towards current expenses. Contribu- tions to the funds of the College will be made in every case subject to the control of the Board of Trustees in New York. They are the central governing power, and the body responsible to the donors for fulfilling the terms of their trust.
Their control is essential to unity and contin- uity of purpose and to permanent harmony in the administration of the affairs of the College. After this anthority of the Trustees is secured very wide liberty still remains for donors to choose particular objects towards which their gifts are to be applied.

The following is suggested as a feasible plan for the speedy opening of the Medical department.
