At the present moment much interest is centred on the future of this Church and the Council would have been able to make a more definite announcement to. day, had not this unfortunate Strike upset our plans, We have already ap- plied to the Government for a site on Morrison Hill and it is hoped that the new Church will be ready by 1929. The Government has promised a grant of 850,000 towards the new Church but we aro in need of a mach larger sum as well As an endowment. The activity of this Charch is being limited and curtailed by Inck of the necessity funds to enable St.. much parochial and educational work be ing carried out in Hengkong. Peter's is, as you know, entirely self supporting, and is carried er solely by the offertorirs of the congregation and it would have been impossible to do this had it not been for much voluntary and free services willingly giver and for the loyal support of the congregation. In order, therefore, to pave the way for the now Church I venture to make the follow-

SECRETARY'S REPORT.

The following extracts are taken from Mr. G. S. Zimmern's reportin

St. Peter's Church has passed through a very eventful year. It was a year of much change. At the beginning we had with us Reys. Lee, Shana and Pyner but at the close we lost their valuable help. In May last, Dr. Earle, our energetic Secretary fall for home on Turlough with Mrs. Eurie and children and the Secre taryship was taken over by Mr. Griggs who has also lately left for England with Mrs. Griggs our devoted organist Dr. Earle's departure was promptly followed by that of the Rev. J. R. Lee whose in- jured leg did not permait him to remain in Hongkong and under medical advice be had to leave, as for Cambridge. His work at the University and at St. Peter's will long remain in our memory. In this unsettled and uncertain situation, the Strike came on with all its suddenness. We were, however, fortunate in obtaining for a time, the much needed assistance of Rer. H. A. Wittenlinch of Canton who helped the Her, Mr. Shann-and the Rev. Mr. Pyner to carry on during a very trying summer, but Mr. Shann himself was due for leave and he left for home in December.

This train of dieulties came to a head in October when the foot of the Church was found to be badly eaten up by white ants and was in such a danger- ona condition that immediate repairs hud:
