QUAKE, EXPERIENCES.

LECTURE BY CHAPLAIN

FROM YOKOHAMA,

At the Cathedral Hall ist even- ing, there was a repentative gathering to listen to an address by the Rev. E. M. Strong, British Chaplain in Yokohama, who did such beroic work both during and i after the catastrophe.

Mr. Strong gave a thrilling account of the events of the 1st September. Most affecting was the story of the heroism of a Buy Scout who, at the age of nine, died manifesting the spirit of Sir Philip Sydney. The audience heartily applauded Mr. Strong's tribute to the gallantry and de votion of the officers and men of H.M. Navy and the Mercantile Marine.

peo-

Mr. Strong said he was glad to have the opportunity of thanking a representative Hongkong gather- ing for the liberal contributions they had made towards the relief of those who had been broken and shattered in mind and body. After the earthquake it was an enormous relief

the to ple in Yokohama and Tokyo to know of the response be- ing made throughout the world to their great need and it was peculiarly encouraging to know that the small foreign com munity had not been forgotten. He was asked to say" Thank you to the people of Hongkong for the magnificent grant to the Kobe Re- lief Fund which had been allocated by Hongkong. He was also very grateful for this opportunity of making an appeal on behalf of the Churches, which had suffered heavily. Although the loss of life had been small among Christian: workers, the loss in material had ] been immense.

In this connection, Mr. Strong mentioned that in almost every _district the percentage of Christians: killed was some thing like one- tenth of the percentage of non- Christians. Out of 4.500 Chinese about 1,500 were killed. Of these 150 to 200 were Christian Chinese and of them only two were killed, Not a single missionary had been killed and he did not know of a single Japanese pastor among the dead. He did not wish to make any comment on this; it was just a mystery which one could ponder over and decide about for oneself.j

Explaining the attitude of mind

BRAVE BOY SCOUT.

On the ship's arrival, Staff Cap- tain H. G. Holland made a report. to the police. It is believed that the man's action was connected with smuggling, or attempt to smuggle.

Mr. Strong told a story of a Wolf Cub, only nine years of age, who was found with his right aro and his left foot crushed to pulp. He had just joined the Boy Scouts and was ready to whimper with the pain of his injuries until he remem hered, "I am a Boy Scout and Boy Scouts do not cry."

of people who live in earthquake 2 Pte. Flyun ridden districts, Mr. Strong said there were three attitudes of miad which people tack up in regard to earthquakes. There were, first,! those who were frankly frightened;, secondly, those who were perhaps equally frightened but who felt it was more dignified not to show too much fright, and, thirdly, those who really seemed to be completely indifferent either by natural cour~| age or by having schooled them- selves. People in the last class said, "I wanted to know what a) really bad earthquake, would be like and now I know."

MORE ARMS.

CONSTABLE THREATENED,

By threatening Indian constable No. 95 with a revolver and a dagger, six men who were going down the steps of Excelsior Terrace into that part of-Robinson Road near Conduit Road bridge, at 9.20 last night, successfully evaded being searched, and escaped. It appears that the constable was on duty and had reason to suspect the men. He ordered them to stop to be examined but they drew their arms as described and were lost sight of in a few moments.
