To The Secretary.

sir,

Junior Asst. Mastersly. Hong Kong

Scotch Education Department.

Whitehall,

LONDON. S.T.

I am favoured with yours of 26th November, and have

much pleasure in camending Mr. James Ralston, of 17 Lawrence

Street, Dowanhill, to the position of a Junior Assistant kaster

in Hong Kong. Mr. Ralston was with me as a boy in the

Sabbath School of which I am Superintendent, and on passing

through the Senior Class, undertook the teaching of a Class of

small boys. These have grown up under his care, and I can see

from the way he holds them that he is well suited for such work.

He also takes a good lead in the general work of the School,

and is a young man in whom I have much confidence both as to

excellency of character, and as to ability. He is a Master of

Arts of Glasgow University, of pleasing manner, and I can judge from his experience in the Hilton Public School, and guided by

what I have seen of him in the Sabbath School, that he should be a very suitable man to occupy the position for which he is

applying.

I am,

Youre faithfully,
