But such a settlement cannot be "houn***": it is but n camp and only begins to be home when the cld folks can be sent for and schools and playgrounds for the new generation need to be thought about. Life, before that stage, is undesirable, however materially successful. Money may be made rapidly, but it is apt as quickly to disappear, with little to show for it but a bundle of regrets.

EARLY DAYS IN HONGKONG.

"A few Sundays ago."Mr. Maconachie | continued, “I remarked on the change for the better in this respect in our own small Colony, during my own compara |tively short acquaintance with it. But the friend who was senior elder of the Church ten years ago used to tell how far different for the worse it was in early

days. He and his wife, he said, were only the third Eurupean couple in busi ness circles to set up housekeeping in the place The ordinary ménage was the bachelor mess, where the main co- cupations after business hours centred round the whisky bottle, costing at that time only some 80 or 80 cents, and pro- ducing even more loss and sorrow than it docs now. There was also, of course, far less in the way of sport and prerea- tion, but the root deprivation was the lack of homa life, which is the normal focus round which all healthy life! gathers.

To make a happy fireside clime

To weans an wife,

That's the true pathos and subline

Of human life.'

A WORD TO THE 'CHILD-LERS. The devil," said Mr. Maconachie in a vigerous passage," has invented a now name for little children. Jesus said, 'of such are the Kingdom of Heaven, but one who Bows tares among the wheat whispers encumbrances in the ears of. Pelf-indulgent bachelors, self-conscious girl graduates, or anyone else who will sten, under the illusivo lures of so- called lf-development, worldly ambi tion, or merely paltry, popular good time

What kind of Bouls would be 'coarsening and blackening inside men and women supposing the money that goes for children's frocks and shoes and schooling, and maybe for the old folks crust, were at liberty for ball dresses and club "subscriptions? Suppose the life energies needed for the nursery diverted to career," what is the use of a career in a dying world! I chanot conceive what some people mean by 'Progress' or what goal they can have in view?"

If they valurd the results of the Reformation if was not well that their children should be trained in the atmos phere which necessarily (and rightly from their own point of view), pervaded much, schools. Disclaiming any intention to fonient religions prejudice, Mr. Macona- che added that Roman Catholics would not remain content to have their child ren attending Protestant Schools and he was confident that they, at any rate, would feel neither resentment or surpris if some Protestants felt the same. testants ought to provide properly for their own young people, and if they failed to do so they were bound to lose by it, however careful others might ha to avoid direct proselytising among them.

Mr. Maconachie concluded with an appeal for the support of the Union Church Sunday Schools The collections for this purpose during the day amount..

to a substantial sum.

the ideal city-a place where "the HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING voice of weeping shall be no more heard," where there shall be no more an infant

of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days," the preacher remark- ed that, as things were, our cities aremed to be places where child life could hardly thrive. Great towns, for the most part, had been permitted to grow up without the exercise of the foresight which would have made them habitable; it required an unusual constitution to come to full- ness of years in them, and the infant mortality of great towns all over the world was a danger and a disgrace, "The city I used to live in in England," said Mr. Maconachie, had in that rospect an unhappy pre-eminence which it was striving to overcome in face of the enormous difficulties bequeathed from earlier days of social improvidence and industrial prosperity which laid so wide and deop the foundations of modern slumdom."

LOCAL CHILD PROTECTION MEASURES. "It is difficult work, anywhere, look- ing after the welfare of the rising gener ation when onco selfish ignorance has got possession of the fold.
