Secretary,

The Finance report was given by Mrs. Ma Wing Chaa., the Treasurer of the Association. Mr. Ma Ying Piu, the Pre sident, was in the chair, and Rev. Cheung, of the Baptist Church took the Bible reading and prayer.

Mrs. Arthur Wood gave a piang solo. Three members of the Board of Diree tors whose terms of service had expired were elected: Mrs. Ma Wing Chan, Miss P. R. Lee and Wong Sa Ku

Two new members were elected: Mrs. Young Stu Chuan and Mrs. Taam Wai

The report on the year's work, was given in" Chinese by Mes. Ying Yeung Yuk Sin as follows:-

MEMBERSHIP. While the emphasis of membership is not on numbers, we are glad to report an increase this year. Our menberg number now 230, more than double the number when we organized four years ago. Our membership committee have done faithful work throughout the year in making regular calls on the mem- lers and we hope this plan mess with the approval of all as it senis a most satisfactory way to make sure that all those who are members are kept in toneh with the life of the Association.

Cour.-We joined with the Canton As sociation again last summer in holding 2 summer camp in Macao, in a house with a large garden loaned us for the purs pow. The situation for a camp was not ideal, but bandits, and typhoons and mosquitos make the finding of an ideal spot very difficult. The house was open for three weeks and there were altogether 31 campers, the majority from Hongkong. After two years' experiment we feel that there is a need for a satisfactory

STUDENT ASSOCIATION.-The Joint Cabinet of the four Students Association has continued to meet at regular intervals during the year at the Association. Several joint meetings have been held, in- cluding an early Sunday morning service to observe the Day of Prayer for Students, in which the students Y.M.C.A.'s joined. In September the first large Y.W.C.A. Students Conference in three years was held in Canton. Many of the schools in Kwangtung province were represented and on: of 108 delegates there word twenty- nine from Hongkong. The purpose of this studort work, as of the girls' work.

to develop Christian character and initiative in those growing girls and pre- pare them to take their place later as Christian leaders in the community. The value of this training is being proved to us through more than one young worker in the Association.

Gints Work-We have reason to be encouraged over the club work for younger girls The Pioneer club at the Association has passed its second birth- day and has a membership of over twenty. There has been a decrease in membership, owing to a number of marriages and to the fact that several of the girls have gone on for University work which leaves them no time for the Club activities. The programme is varied to fulfil the purpose help the members of the club which is

We are glad to report the best year we have had as to numbers and interest shown in Bible Study. There have been ten classes with a total enrolment of 105. It may be of interest to you to know that the numbers of Christians and non- While the Christiane are about equal. influence of this direct religious teaching is impossible to calculate, we do know that during the year" nine of our mem- bers are known to have become Christians and two of them have been haptized.

Following a six weeks' training_course for leaders last spring, Junior Pioneer clubs were organized in the following churches, Basel Miasion, Rhonish Mission, St. Stephen's, St. Paul's and Kung Lei Ooi.

foel sure that many will see the value of bringing their children regularly for help and adion on Thursday morning. During the days of the conference, there was an average attendance of ninety adults at the lectures and demonstrations. We should like to record our hearty appre ciation of the work done by the doctors and nurses who gave help so unsparingly at that time.

SOCIAL The activities arranged by the Social Committee consist of social gather. ings with music and games at the Asso ciation, launch picnics and walks. There have been twelve gatherings in all with a total attendance of 1,689, including 800 at our Christmas entertainment. We feel that these not only help our members and others to enlarge their circle of friends hat also provide a mess of drawing women into other parts of the Association life and in many cases giving them op portunities for service.
