Mr. Strong said he was glul to have the opportunity of thanking a representa tive Hongkong gathering for the liberal contributions they had made towards the relief of those who had been broken and shattered in mind and body. After the earthquake it was an enoneous relief to the people in Yokohama and Tokyo to know of the response being made through- out the world to their great need and it was peculiarly encouraging to know that the small foreign community had not League match at Kowloon at 9.15 p.m.. been forgotten.

In this connection, Mr. Strong men-N tioned that in almost every district the percentage of Christians killed was some thing like one-tenth of the percentage of non-Christians. Out of 4,300 Chiness about 1,500 were killed. Of theso 150 to 200 were Christian Chinese and of them only two were killed. Not a single mis- sionary had been killed and he did not know of a single Japanese pastor among the dend.
