In conclusion, the committee, while gratefully acknowledging the much generous help ac corded to them during the past year in their efforts for the relief of the needy, respectfully urge upon the Hongkong cominunity as a whole the urgent need that exists for a more widely extended financial support of the. Bociety in the important work it has under taken. A reference to the epitome of cases dealt with during the year will afford ample evidence that this is no haphazard charity; every care being personally investigated by members of the Committee, or through the reference Committee, before any application is din't with. But lack of funds has seriously crippled the Committee's efforts during the year 1906; and, in now demitting office, they beg from the public for their successors a more liberal provision of the wherewithal to satis factorily meet the demands of the Society, which are increasing. with the increasing European population,"
From the report of the guarantee scheme it appeared that during the year 1906 there was, in ongkong,ery little of that type of de stitution, for which, the guarantee scheme was Intended to provide, and the calls upon the guarantors were in consequence fewer than in the previous year. "There were, of course, other cases of destitution, but these either did not come within the scope of the scheme or for various reasons were not considered to be der serving of such help. In all five cases were deali with, and only two out of the number were sea- MAD. These men being of African blood could not be admitted to the Sailors' Home, and to, ad arrangement was made, by which they were admitted to a boarding house in Lascar Row on the understanding that they were to receive European food.

society. He hoped that no one would feel that the small attendance at that meeting or the reduction in the balance, which was down by $700 and more, meant that the public was at all-neglectful of the good work being done, that it was not appreciated. There were special reasons which had militated against the balance at their credit being as large as it was last year, and he believed that if the committee moved in the direction he suggested the balance at the end of the year would be in a. much better condition. Moreover, a very smal! balance was one of the best reasons for appeal that a benevolent society could have.
He seconded the adoption of the report and balance sheet.
The Chairman said the guarantee fund would be continued this year, thanks to the Governor who had made himself responsible for five cases, and Messrs. Raymond and Hewett who would be responsible or four each.
On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Hickling, the fallowing ladies were appointed members of commitica for the ensuing year: Lady Berkeley, Mrs. Atkinson, Mrs. Badeley, Mrs. J. Hastings, Mrs. Hickling, Mrs. Kruger, Mrs. May, Mrs. Peter, Mrs. Saunders, Mrs. Marcus Slade, Mrs. Thomson and Mrs Turner.
The Chairman moved, and Mr. Atkinson seconded, the appointment of the following gentlemen to form a reference committee was adopted: the Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Dr. Francis Clark, Rev. J. H. France, the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Rev. C. H. Hickling and 1 ev. T. Y. John an
