tation Linda shrewdly put upon It will be worth it every time, the situation. Yours sincerely,
Irwin."
A letter was read from the Bishop of Victoria (the Rt. Revd. Ronald Hall) who regretted lile in ability to attend and stated that he had been a member of Tec II. since the Poperinghe days, and would be pleased to do anything he could to forward the movement in Hongkong. He wished God- speed to the Rev. Mr. Ford and Mr. Chappell on the journey.
Amongst these present was the C.O.C.. Major General O. C. Borrett, C.B.. C.M.G..
C.B.E., D.S.O.

The Rev. Ford explained the ceremoniea connected with the Toc H. lamps especially in regard to the "Ceremony of Light" held prior to each meeting of a branch or group. In silence, he said, in a room dark save for the light of the lamp, the Elder Brethren of the Household were remembered, the men whose bodies lay in Flanders, France, Galipoll and many other battlefields or in the | depths of the sea, the men through whose dying a certain spirit was created. The silence was broken by the challenge "Let your light so shine before men" and thoughts ones to the great task to which Toe H. is dedicated, of keeping alive that spirit of comradeship, and service reborn at such coat in the mad days of war.
To H. Is not content with the gilded casket of mere recollection; it chooses rather the leaden cneket of continuing duty.

Such jobs are undertaken by us, not as professionals but as amateurs: not as angels sprouting wings and Ruttering down with infinite con- descension to thi Blums, but rather in the spirit of the great Oxford and Bermondsey Clubs where Bermondsey and Oxford men take equal share in running Clubs and helping to train up young Londoners as citizens who may provide, in the years to come, some of the leadership of which especially since the devastation of the War the world atanda so des- perately in need.
In conclusion the Rev. Mr. Ford dealt with some of the “joba" done by Toe H. members in India.
The Plumer and Malta Lamps. Mr. Harry Chappell addressing the meeting cold:
The Prince of Wales at the lighting of the sixty new "Lamps of Maintenarco" at Birmingham inat month made a special re- ference to two of them. They were the "Plumer" Lamp, and the Malta Lamp.
In a special senso it seeks to "The Plumer Lamp," said His keep alive and apply to the Royal Highness, "reminded them present day conditions of so of the great debt they owed to called peace, the traditions of old Field Marshal Lord Plumer.

Comradeship of Every Man. As that House stood out as a "light house" to men, many of all ranks whose fato took them near the veritable hell on earth known na the Ypres Salient, no Toc II. seeks to throw out into the dark world of to-day the warmth of comradeship of Evoryman and the light of the spirit of service.
The Rev. Mr. Ford dealt with the growth of the movement all round the world in Great Britain, Canada, the United States, South America, New Zealand, Australia, Malaya, India, Persia, Africa and Europe.
Lord Plumer was one of the staunchest supporters of Toc H. He nourished it during the war, and in peace time, devoted much time to its furtherance.
Ho it was who explained Toc to the Army Council in 1930 and obtained from the adjutant general a letter from which I quote the following:
CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
In yesterday's article I showed you a hand that should be opened with two no trump, not only ba cause it held a strong five-card suit, but due to the fact that It hold many tenace positions,
The holding of intermediato carde-or tonote positions-Is usually the most important factor In governing when a hand should be bid at no trump. Howkover, you will occasionally find a hand that holds no tenace positions but that nevertheless. calls for an opening declaration of no trump. For example, take the following hand:
Spades-A-4 Hearts-A-KA Diamonds-A-K-Q-7-2 Clubs--K-Q-6′′
You have the strong five-card suit necessary for an original two no trump bid. In addition, you have every gult stopped.
.
What is partner's most likely re- ∙aponno if we open the hand with a, diamond? In all probability ha will bid apades, which will prácti- cally force you into ne trump; and all that you have accomplished is to disclose to the enemy where your strength lles.
By opening with an original bid of two no trump, you conceal from your opponents just where your strength lies and at the same time give your partner a fairly complete picture of the strength of your band.
In order to go game at diamonds you would have to find almost enough strength in partner'a hand to make a small`slam at no trump. However, because you open the bidding at two no trump, it doen not necessarily mean that you are going to play the hand t 110 trump. For example, supposing partner held the following hand:
Snades-J-10-7-6-5-3-2
Jearts--8-2 Diamonds-43 Clubs--5-2
If you were to open with a bid of two no trump, and partner held this hand. his proper response would be three spades. Of course this is your 'wank suit and natur- ally you will go on to three no trump.
Partner will then bid four spades and this bid immediately informs you that, while he has a long abade sult, it is not establish- ed at no trump and even if it were, there is no chance to get into. his hand,
Remember, partner is absolutely safo in going to four spades, be- cause you have told him that you And rength in every suit, a strong five-card suit and he knows that you must have at least one honour in apudes.
If partner were to bid four apades, you should pass because you can now definitely count your losers. You are going to lose napade, n heart. at least one Llub trick, and if the diamond suit does not break, a diamond. In other words, you would need the most invourable of breaks in order to make even three no trump with this hand with partner announcing a dead hand.

Toc H. in the Services.
In the Royal Air Force today as in the Army there are to be found many members of Toc II.
The mention of Malta Branch of Toc H. brings me to
the activities of the Movement
in connexion with the members of His Majesty's Navy. Toc H. is but a young movement and ita contact with the Navy is natural- ly through its origin not of such long standing as with the Army. In this direction it was found better not to have units on board but to encourage members to join Up with Units nshore.
Thus it came to be that Malta, Simondtown, Singapore and Gib. raltar and Colombo are places where naval members play a grent part in the life of the Unit. Hongkong is now serving as a scene of activity for members of the China Squadron, from which men could come ashore and join in the community's activities.
The speaker concluded by point- ing out the need for much an or ganisation as Toc II. in Hong- ..kong.
A vote of thanks to H.E. the Governor, the Rev. Mr. Ford, Mr. Chappell, and to Messrs. Jardino Matheson for the use of the room. was proposed by Mr. E. R. Mitchell, a Toc H. member.
