Continuing, Mr. Dyer said that in ask ing Mr. Macdonald to accept that address, he would like to mention, as some

of them know, that his name could be seen in the Articles of Association when the Institution was founded. Had it not been for Major Macdonald and one or two others like him there would not have been an institution that day. He had all along taken a fatherly interest in them all and had occupied all the offices from the lowest post right up to the Presidency of the Institute. They were all worry he was leaving and hoped that he would live long to enjoy his retirement. (Applause),

Mission work, supervised by the Bishop of Victoria, is done in Canton, Pakhoi and Liemchoy in the Kwangtung Province. Nannings in the Kwangsi

cripta during 1918 in Hongkong. Kow loon and Canton, amounted to $3,333.33. The balance in hand, after making dona- tions. and subscriptions, grants and paying for printing, was 122.45.
