gratulate our Director of Ambulance, Mr. Alfred Morris, on his promotion to the rank of Commander in the Venerabic Order of St. John of Jeru- salem; nobody has ever served in a good cause more assiduously than he (Applause).

congratulate the Bri gade on the visit to Hongkong of Colonel Sleeman. Hir appreciation, and in some directions perhaps his criticism, of what we are doing is a splendid tone for us: but I think that the greatest value of his visit is that it has caused us all to realise that this Brigade is no isolated paro- chial unit, but, as it were, the Hong kong regiment in a great Imperial army which is for ever militant In
the cause of humanity against the ravages of accident and disease. We need your Brigade here in Hongkong.
