Nanking will al- ways be connected with the Eme- rald and the Emerald has na everlasting bond with Nanking. On March 24 you made history, Whatever may be your feelings about that day it is certain that it is a day you will remember, think about and talk about all your lives. But think for a what that day meant to these ladies and gentlemen. Before March 24 they had been carrying en their life's work in Nanking and living in comfort with their families. Since that day they have had practically everything taken from them.

What he had done, however, he had done cheerfully and with the best interests of the Club at heart. It appeared from the splendour of the gifts made, that he had partially succeeded in his efforts. He hoped that the Club would always continue to hold before them the essentials of good fellowship, good sportsmanship. and good workmanship, for the Club was mainly instituted for the purpose of bringing together those who in the ordinary course of duty would not mix.
