After the withdrawal of Dr. Legge's fostering care and the retirement of Mr. Lamont, his first successor, a period of no small dis- couragement seems to have been entered upon. At one time, with out minister or any immediate prospect of one, the Sunday Ser- vices had actually to be interrupt- ted for a couple of months. The fact appears to be that there was not enough enthusiasm in the Colony at that time to maintain a church on a self-supporting basis, and we can imagine the soreness of heart with which the respon- sible few announced their in- ability to carry on. But the Lon- don Mission and its able agents came once more to the rescue, and from that time the story on the whole has been one of progress, acknowledged to-day by many grateful hearts. At no time has the Church had the Government Treasury behind it; at no time has some munificent individual carried it on his shoulders, though it has had many generous helpers. But the enterprise and charity in which the fathers initiated the work have been justified by events, and as we recall their ef forts and their often discourage" ments we can but pray to be wor thy to enter into their labours.

If no sectarian line was drawe here neither was any distinction of race nor nationality set up. Our Trust Deed specifies that ser- vices may be conducted both in the English and the Chinese lan- mages, and up to 1839 a Chinese congregation did meet in the Church in Sunday afternoons. By that date, however, the Chinese congregation bad become strong

In this Church, I may add, we a few Chinese generally have members, to whom worship in English is congenial; the building the used occasionally for solemnisation of marriages, and i need arose would be freely avail- ible for other purposes, as is bu fitting in a church whose origin is 80 intimately connected with the first effort to bring evangelical faith within the knowledge of the Chinese race.
Less gratifying is it to refer to the extensive use made of the Church by the German community before the war for weddings and special services.. We do not re- gret our past hospitality, and only deplore the grievous happenings which put a sudden end to cour tesies of that nature. The last such occasion none of us who were. present can, alas, ever forget. It Christmas morning of 1913, when this building was. crowded in every corner by a con-t gregation from the crew of the Scharnhorst, which was then in harbour.

The war is won, but the more difficult victories of peace have still to be achieved. There lie be- fore the Churches of Jesus Christ here as elsewhere the opportun- ities and responsibilities of a new time. It will not be an easy time -no great period ever is, nor ought we to wish it, for if easy times are perilous to the world at large they are fatal to the Church.
