ANOTHER NEW MODEL
Mr. Maconachie said there was Ino need for him to speak at length as all present were familiar, frem accounts which had been giver in the Press, of what had taken place with a view to the erection of a Union Church at Kowloon. The deed of a Union Church at Kowlon had been realised long ago. His predecessor, Mr. Blick- ling. attempted to start services there. bot being unable to be in two places at once and no other minister being available they had to be abandoned. At other times there had been discussion upon the subject, but it was not until now that they had been in a posi-| tion to take the matter up serious- ty. Speaking of the steps taken in connection with the generous gift of Sir Pau! Chater, Mr.} Maconachie said that they had) written the Government auk- ing if they could give them a site near the waterfront.

King's Park had been mentioned; by an official, and they then asked) if the Government would give them something in that region: but the reply was that it could not be built over because of as agreement with the military authorities that it was to be devoted to purposes of recrea tion. The Government had offer. ed to consider sites to the north east of that region. They must examine with care. the speaker said, whatever suggestions were Though the importance of the made. and in the meantime be indications of our recovery from proposed asking the seatholders the pit of last year's depression
