Christian Doctrine Favourable. The Rev. Dr. George Christie, foot-of St. Andrew's Church, Edinburgh,

who spoke from the point of view of the Christian Church; said "there was nothing in Christian doctrine as understood and taught in this country to rende cremation any thing but advisable and in some cases, extremely proper. The spirit was not affected by anything that happened to the poor carcass,

On Sunday there was a cricket match and on Monday hockey match.

On Monday Admiral Hoekstra gave a luncheon parts. On Tues day evening Commander Butter and his officers gave an entirely unofficial but very delightful party on the Magnolia.

Owing to the very restricted space on the gunboat the party was ne- cessarily limited to a small num- her of guests. but those who were hucky enough tá be present thoroughly enjoyed themselves,

The officers went to great trouble for the entertainment of their visi Ftors, who greatly appreciated their hospitality and found the navy to be perfect hosts.

H.M.S. Magnolia left early on Wednesday morning. Her visit has left pleasant memories, and this breath of Great Britain was very refreshing to those living for years in a foreign country.

Dr. J. Johnston Jarvis, Leeds, said the disposal of the dead in the country was a simple thing, but in urban communities it became a real problem. Cemeteries in congested areas were, to his mind, a souree of danger. He instanced a case in Leeds, "of which city he was medical officer of health. In a cemetery in this heart of the city trial holes that they had examined were found to be greatly con taminated with bacteria. There was definite risk that this water was percolating through to the under ground water supply which was serving some houses in the district.

TRAWLER FOR SOVIET GOVERNMENT.

PASSES THROUGE HONG KONG.

The morning session was largely devoted to a discussion on crema- tion in regard to public health and sanitation. The Chairman, Mr. Murray, N. Phelps, of Birining- ham, suggested the use of closed cemeteries for the burial of the sahes of cremated bodies. He, had recently informed an old lady that those great personages who were given the honour of burial in West minster Abbey were first cremated, and only the ashes were deposited. The old lady, he said, pondered the matter for some time, and then she said that was a proper regulacight Asiatics. tion, because it was a populous neighbourhood. (Laughter.)
