GOD-

This building of the Unfon Church is also signifionnt from: another point of view. It is this: every considerable foreign cossion in China has its Union Church and the building of-a Union Church in Kowloon tonda to show! that the great community that is developing on this aide of the water is going to be self-contained. The basis of those public institu- tions which are to be found in: foreign centros in the Far East is a place of worship for every aeotion of the population.

May we then of the laity express to our generous bonefactor grateful thanke, and while rogrotting that. Bir Paul Chater is not hore to wit- nees this coromony to day may we express the hope that when the day comes, not far house, on which the permanent Church, manse and schools are completed, he will be present together with a large unit. ed congregation to dedicate the completed work to the glory of God.

Dedication.

The Dedication Service followed, at which the Rovd. J. H. Johnston presided, the Church being ontered to the strains of Tho Church's one Foundation," the choir leading, the rest of the procession being fermod by tha offlalating ministers, Bir Olaud and Lady Severn, dologates from St. Androw's Church, offeo-bearers of Union Church (Kennedy Road), local office-bearere, congrogation and frlenda in that order,

After a brief pauso for silent Clouston prayer, the Rord, 0. Porri read the Invocation and the Lord's Prayor, and the 100th Paalm was, sung. The Scripture Lesson, taken from Ephesians 2, verses 12 to 22, was then taken by the Rovd. G. R.. Lindsay, of 85. Androw's Church. Another hymn followed and then the words" of dedication wero" "poken while the oongregation remained standing. The Bard. Dr. T: W. Pearce, of the London Adisalonury Boolaty
