The important part being played by men of the Royal Navy. the Merchant Navy, 'the Naval Reserves and Volunteers, in the Empire's 'fight against brute force and injustice, was emphasised by the Rev. C. Strong, of the Seaman's Institute, in his address at the Annual Seafarer's Service at St. John's Cathedral yester- day morning..when an earnest appeal was made to the people „of Hongkong, particularly during these days, to invite sailors to

their homes whenever they had the opportunity.
