The following report for 1030 was presented last night at the nnual meeting of entholders of the Union Church:-

Early in the year the Minister, Rev. F. C. Young, was taken ill with purumonia and passed away en February 21. This was an inestimable loss to the Church, as, during his period of fifteen months in Hong Kong, Mr. Young had not only endeared himself to all nembora of the congregation-and to all outside who know him-but through his able and devoted ministry had advanced and streng thened the whole work of the Church,

Later in the year, on the hearty recommendition of Rev. 5. M. Berry, D.D., Secretary of the Con Rregational Union of England and Wales, the Church appointed the Rev. E. C.

Mr. Powell's ministry has met with signal appreciation from the beginning and we confidently be lieve that, under his leadership. the coming years will be full of steady progrees in all departmente.

This Guild has formed a Sewing Circle and has done other useful work. It is hoped that it may enlist the in- terest of all ladies who attend the Church in some form of service. The Committeo believes this is a forward step in the life of the Church and hopes that its efforts will meet with success.
