A prefatory note by the Vice-Chancellor explains that there have been some changes in the method af accounting in order to make the Anancial position of the University clearer to the public. Sir William Brunyate makes the significant observation that a clear financial state ent is potessary preliminary to any appeal to the public for further assist ance, and this purpose should be even

Recapitulating" the genesis and nature of the recent re-organisation," the Vien
·Chancellor states:
The University opened in 1912 with excellent main buildings, due to the generosity of the late Sir H. Mody, and with a tbstantial, if inadequate, fund raised by public subscription, out of which subsidiary buildings and necessary equipment had to be provided, leaving the balance available for purposes of endowment. To that fund substantial additions were from time to time received, but by 1920 there had been spent thereout én Hostels, staff quarters, equipment and the like a sum of 8825,000, leaving a com- Pletely inadequate endowment fund for the current purposes of the University An admitted deficit of $213,000 had acYours, etc., cumulated on working expenses by the 81st August, 1990, and, but for the assist ance of the local Government, the situa tion would in no short time have become an impossible one. At this stage, as a j result of the recommendations of the Com-NAVÁL mission presided over by the Hon. Mr. Sharp, K-C., the Government came to the rescue with grant of $1,000,000, $700,000 of which was to be applied in repay- ment of the, bank overdraft then ap proaching $500,000 and in regening the situation in other respects, the sum of $300,000 available as an addi- tion to the endowment fund. This grant was subsequently augmented by an addi. tional sum of $700,000, remaining for the a debt due from the Govern and bearing interest as from the 1st increase, as from the same date. of the January, 1921, at 8 per cent, and by the Government aubsidy from $20,000 to

The Magistrate expressed an opinion that the witnesses were all lying and confirmed the previous sentence of six weeks' imprisonment,
it is too late, I cannot be his disciple. We may smile at the sisplicity of this Chinese woman, but she had hold of a truth which many baptised and professing Christians have failed to grasp, the truth that Caristianity is a missionary religion and that unless Christians are taking their due share in extending the Kingdom of Christ they are not worthy of the name of Christian.
