Now, mark ms, I am not saying I will boat him because I think that Joffries has gone back, for I think that I could have whipped him at his prime.

Whether the local Society shares in the extra- ordinary growth of Christian Science we cannot. say, but its establishment in a community not distinguished by religious enthusiasm is in itself noteworthy, and, considering the transient population of Hongkong, its continuance must also be regarded as remarkable.
