From Mr. Sutherland's speech, they all knew that he had given a lot of his timo Mrs. J. H.

As regards the position of Preal- dent during the coming year, I have much pleasure in informing you that Mrs. Southorn, who has already

been on the Committee for over a year, has kindly consented to fill the post, and knowing, as we do her capacity for work and her keen in terest in the welfare of the Colony, you will I know share the views of the Committee that the appoint ment is one which cannot but be regarded with the greatest satisfac" tion.

Newspaper Coupona

Now I would like to mention that as a result of last year's Meeting, I received several very kind letters

regarding the Society and its roport, but in some cases the communica- tions were not accompanied by the essential cheque or compradore order and as no doubt this was merely an oversight, I hope that this passing reference will be quite sufficient to prevent such an unfor tunate occurrence this year: friends please note.

In order to make matters simple you will find in your newspapers to-morrow a coupon which we hope you will cut out, fill in, and send to the addresses indicated. Don't put it off-do it first thing and you will then be relieved of all anxiety for 12 months, knowing that you have deputed others to look after your charitable obligations.

The Appeal

So ladles and gentlemen, we once more put forward our appeal. The account of our stewardship is now before you; if you consider it has inspired confidence we look for your support, help is wanted from all eligible to subscribe no matter their station in life; there is no distinc. tion, be they taipan or artisan, adi are equal in the sacred cause of charity,

These remarks, poofly expressed and in common place language, have at least but one redeeming feature and that is their sincerity, They will perhapa In the ordinary course of things be read to-morrow by many residents and if here and there they have struck a chord of sympathy in our work, and awaken- ed a desire to help, they have then in truth achieved their main object. Call to Community

No matter bow hard and con- scientiously your Committee may work, no matter what› self-sacrifice may be ontailed in their endeavours to carry out the onerous duties voluntarily undertaken, or perhaps It may be said bequeathed to them by those who have gone before as far back as 1889, It must be obvious to all that the continuity of this organisation and extension of its worthy aims, can only be secured by the practical co-operation and finan-" cial assistance of the Hong Kong community.

掌

With these remarks ladies and gentlemen, I have now to propose the adoption of the report and accounts as presented and when these have been seconded by the Hon. Mr. Shenton, we shall be glad to hear any remarks which members may be pleased to make.

N

The Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, seconded the motion.

Those present having no remarks, to make on the report as presented, the motion for its adoption was put to the meating and carried unani mously.

Generous Assistance

Mrs. Alabaster then said that no doubt the counter attraction. at St. Stephen's College had drawn-away- soma of their audience. However,

the attendance was better than in former years: She welcomed this show of more interest in the. So- cloty. The larger attendance, the. sald, might also be due to the change of time from noon to 5.80. Then again, it might be due to the change of scene, vere

Highly Commendable The Very Rev. A. Swann, in seconding the vote of thanks said that the Society was rich in having such a man as Mr. Sutherland take

an interest in it.

As to the use of the Cathedral
