In war, as you know, most of the work of raiding and attacking is done by night in order to avoid being seen by the enemy.

One officer who had used old Boy Scouts for this work was'nt his wits' end when he tried to use other soldiers-they were so clumsy. He was only happy again when he found among his men one who had been a burglar-and he made a first-class scout!

So you will understand that al simple expedition like that is twice

HONG KONG SCOUTS.

COMING-OF-AGE CELEBRATION.

The Scouts Association of Hong Kong is holding a coming-of-age concert and display (under the dis- tinguished patronage of H.E.. Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.) at the Theatre Royal on Saturday, Decem- ber 91.

Early in the year (writes Mr. Courtenay-E. Sayer) we had hopes. of being able to stage an open-nür spectacle, somewhat on the lines of the Jamboree held at Arrowe Park in August. Owing to transport dif- I heulties, and the fact that a suit- able ground could not be found, the question of together with finance. we decided to hold an in- door show, to let the public scen few of the things wo practise in our spare time.

The main object of the concert, is to raise funds to complete the pur- chase of our new training-centre at Saiwan Bay. This training-centre fills a long-delayed necessity for the production of all that is best in Scouting,

Periods of Puritanism and of licencs seemed to alternate, said the Dean. We were now in a period of licence in which the, prin ciples which had held society,to- gether since a time earlier than the dawn of history were too often set aside Пе irrational taboos. And yet no nation had ever pros pered in. which family life had not been held sacred,

The Dean declared that he did not think that as Christians they were bound to attach themselves to one political party rather than another. Historically it was quite untrue that Christ came to "preach an economic revolution. The Go- pel was a message of spiritual re- at demption, not of social reform. He strongly deprecated the violent language often used about our in- dustrial civiliantion, which, with all its faults, was so far the highest achievement of co-operative effort on a large scale,
