gentlemen conduct services on Sundays, for which they deserve hearty thanks. The Biblewoman, supported by friends at Halstead, has done good work among the women and children..

The income from donations was $17, 282.03, an increase over the previous year of over $1,400, this is accounted for by the special subscription from the Government which is mentioned above, and special donations for warm clothing for the Ho Mia Ling Hospital, which amounted to $100. This clothing has been a great boon during the cold weather. and the thanks of the Committee are presented to those who so considerately gave these donations, and to Mrs. Coxion To, who kindly collected the funds.
