The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

The reign of cricket towers over all other local news, owing to the beginning of the series of Interport cricket matches between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Malaya. In the first match, Malaya v. Shanghai, the former had the advantage of play on the first day, but on the second it was impossible to resume owing to heavy ghowers of rain. How- éver, the one day's play is tersely described in this issue of the Overland China. Mail.

Other sporting fixtures of interest were the visit of the French tennis stars and the closing of the lawn bowls season at the Taikoo Recreation, Club and the Craigengower Cricket Club.

Coming to local events of interest, pride of place must be given to the sixtieth birthday celebrations at the Diocesan Boys' School, at which stirring speeches were made by His Excellency the Governor and others. His Excellency also delivered an interesting lecture to the English Associa- tion during this week.

China, as usual, has loomed lange in the cable news, the movements of the Ironsides and of the "rebels" in the North against the Central Government being reported in detail. There has likewise been more activity on the Russo-Chinese border.

This primary valuation, as we know, was further defined as time went on; and its implications were drawn out so that it became, not only a doctrine of the person of Christ, but also a theory of God, of man, of the world. It is the focus, and again the centre of radiation, of Christian theology: reality interpreted in the light of an experience dominated by the valuation of a person, Jesus of Nazareth. The problem we have to consider is the importance of the Historical element in the central doctrine of this Incarnational" theology. The problema involves two distinct, though connected, en- quiries, a wider and a narrower.
