MR. MANUK ON RELIGION AND

ITS VALUE.

*** Last night, at the weekly meeting of the Hongkong Theosophical Society, the President, Mr. M Manuk, addressed the members on Religion and its Yalue. A large number of members and others interested were present.

Mr. Manuk gave a brief resume of the teachings of the various religions, and poialed out the similarity of all those teachings, in so far as moral and spiritual aspects were concerned. He also pointed out that spiritual teachers all taught that service towards our fellow-men was a necessary qualification for serving God. To serve God' a man must serve his fol- lows Arst?

The various religious teachers supplied humanity with the keys of moral, mental, and spiritual life, whereby man attained perfection.

In dealing with the necessity for churches, Mr. Manuk said they wore in stitutions which were absolutely neces

a religion, but he also referred to the danger of such teachings, if in any way. they were poisoned with intolerance or hatred towards any other religion.

In conclusion, he emphasised the neces. sity of religion in life, ne it was through the ideals taught by religion that human ity lived up to ideals and thus realised. the purpose of life.

LOCAL SPORT.

BILLIARDS.

OSMIND BEATS EX-CHAMPION OF

SHANGHAI

An interesting billiards match was played at the Clith Lusitano yesterday evening when Mr. R C. K. Johnson, ex- Champion of Shanghai, met Mr. A. J. Osmund, Champion of Hongkong, in a game of 000 up, the local player winning by 185 points.

Osmund showed characteristically fine billiards from the outset, and just before the interval delighted the onlookers with a remarkable bresk of 182, all hut about 20 points being off the red ball. .⠀

Johnson, though obviously a very fine player, could not find his true form, and marcover, he had markedly bad luck all through the game. His beat breaks were 44 early in the match, and a 50 just before the finish.

The final scores were called
