Mr. Johnston then extended the right hand of fellowship to the 'naw

minister.

4in all sincerity we heartily com mend him to the Union Church at Hongkong. Both Mr. and Mrs. Young have endeared themselves to us and we confidently anticipate that the Ministry at Hongkong will be a means of great blessing to all who may worship at Union Church.

Difficulties Ahead.

The Hon. Becretary concluded ty reminding members of the Church of the special difiquities, which faced them at the present time owing to the loss of supporters through the closing of the sugar refineries.

"I hope that Mr. Young's ministry will be a very great success, and I shall be glad at any time to hear about the progress of the work."

Dr. Berry also wrote, early in the negotiations, that he would feel very much happier if some of the members of the Union Church in England were in touch with him and could share the responsibility of choice. Committee was grateful to past and present members of the Church, In or permanently, who had co-operated a suggested.

The friends of Union Church were also greatly indebted to the Rev. Frank Short, of the London Mission, for as it were setting the seal on the new ministry by his able conduct of the services on Sunday Inst. In the evening he (the speaker) had the

Letters of Greeting.

The Hon. Secretary mentioned that the following message had been received from the Bishop of Victoria:

"You were good enough to invite me to be present at the meeting of welcome to Mr. Young, An-you know, I have to be away on a visit to Pakhol, Limehow and Yunanfu, I should however like to send my very best wishes to Mr. Young for God's rich blessing upon his ministry at the Union Church."

Mr. J. Mitchell welcomed the now minister and his wife on behalf of the members of the church and wished them both all happiness, health and strength in the work be fore them.

Miss Davies spoke on behalf of the London Missionary

She mentioned that her connexion with Union Church went back to its days in Elgin Street, before the bullding was moved to its present pleasant site. She had sat under four minia- ters and was now helping to welcome the fifth. Union Church was found- el by missionaries of the London Mis- for many years sionary Society and for Ha missionaries' ministored to the congregations. Therefore the con- nexion of the Society with the church was one of history "as well as of friendaliip. They were all looking forward with great expectation to the ministry of Mr. Young.

The Rev. J. G. Knight Anstey, said that one of the delights of these occasions was that ministers of the Colony were able to exchange frater- nat greetings. He looked forward to a very much closer fellowship. be- tween the clergy and ministers of all denominations. It would be a great benefit if they could share their experiences and difficulties in monthly fraternal meetings. The day had more than come when they ought to get together more closely,

"One word to the folk hore," said Mr. Anstey; "Do stand by your man. back him up, help him in what is I bound to be a very arduous task. have noticed in this Colony the magnificent loyalty of a few people; we should be glad to see such loyalty In others."

Mr. Anstey concluded with a very hearty welcome to the new minister and congratulations to the Church on having a minister so full of vigour and with such splendid record of ser- vice thus early in his career.

In introducing the Rev. F. W. P. Alexander, the Chairman mentioned with regret that the Colony was about to: lose him.

Additional Burden.

Mr. Alexander, alluding to this, naid it might not be generally known that he had a special reason for wel- coming Mr. Young, to whom he was going to hand over a rather large congregation of about 350 men.

Mr. Young had consented to take on his officiating clergyman work and net an to the Presbyterian troops during the of the atay of the 2nd Battallon of King's Own Scottish Borderers. Ho was glad to know that Mr. Young had one very desirable qualification dealing with soldiers, namely akili at games.
