A "MAJORITY."-

Cheung Chau, Yesterday. No very serious damage was done here by the typhoon, except to the trees and flower gardens, though it tested a few weak shuttors, and stopped the usual food supplies by the ferry.

Quite a number of Birthdays were celebrated within a few days of one another and passed off happily in spite of stormy weather. The empty houses are steadily filling up and will probably all be full in August, the Conference meetings are eagerly looked forward

The 10th inst. was the 4th anniversary of the opening of the Assembly Hall.

Rev. & Mrs. J. McKenzie & Miss Yansen have left on furlough. On the other hand we have to welcome Rev. Rex Ray and family Rev. & Mrs. Robb and daughter Rev. W. W. Rogers and family.
