The hospital organization therefore, not only affords relief and succour to sick, suffering and destitute Chinese, but it is at the same time a valuable training ground for the Hongkong Chinese in social service. Continuity of polley is secured by means of the Tung Wah Hospital Advisory Board, of which the Secretary for Chinese Affairs is chairman, and in which the Chinese Members of Legislative Council have seats as well as other prominent Chinese, who have previously served as refused nine husbands and directors of the Hospital.

Congratulations.

I congratulate very heartily previous and present boards of directors of the hospital, on this accomplishment; and I am. glad that, having myself laid the foundation store of this fine edifice last year, it has been vouchyaled to me this year to per- form the opening ceremony. You have reminded me, Mr. Chairman, that my predecessor, Sir Richard Macdonnell, was privileged both to lay the foundation stone of the parent hospital and to open it: and, with you, I pray that this historic parallel may in other respects also become closer still as years go by, that the growth of the new hospital may be as vigorous and its management as sound and successful as is that of the parent hospital, that, this eastern branch may serve the Hongkong Chinese as faithfully and well as does the Tung Wah Hospital itself, that it may be blessing to this Colony, and that it may soon expand to ita full dimensions and worthily occupy the whole of this splendid site.
Need of Endowment.
for
There is only one cause future anxiety with regard to this Eastern Branch an adequate endowment fund does not yet exist. I have heard with much pleasure from you, Mr. Chairman, that you and your fellow-directors will hand over to your successors at least $100,000, and perhaps | over $140,000, for the maintenance of this new hospital. But, as the annual expenditure of the hospital is estimated to be about $90.000, this sum will provide for little more than one year's working expenses, «
At the instance of the unofficial members of Legislative Council, the Hongkong Government has turned to vote next year the sum of SPK,000 as a contribution to this hospital and I do not doubt that the like sum will be voted-annually thereafter in the Colony'a hudret. But there will remain to be pro
