CHINESE BIBLE CONFERENCE.

HUGE CROWDS AT LOCAL GATHERINGS.

LIVELY INTEREST.

Hongkong during the past week has witnessed a striking demon- stration of the keen and reverent,

Interest shown by. Chinese residents, old and young alike, lu the Christian movement. The occasion has been the annual Pool Ling Bible Confurence, an inter- denominational gathering arranged by the Protestant churches, which aims at

at the sleepening of spiritual Ife amongst Christian workers. Ten-day conferences are held both in Canton and in Hongkong, and this year's gatherings are the Arth to be held. In both centres, the “Meetings" have “atträcled-wider

Sir.

The attitude of the Hongkong Hockey Club on the question af the proposed League apears to be somewhat selfish and minded and scores to indiente that the leading hockey glub of the Colour is bent on maintaining Its unique position as the only com- peting civilian club for Sim Shield honor ther than fastering general interest in the game....

A REVOLUTIONARY

DISCOVERY

The Gas Industry now offers you The New Thermal Storage Method of heating water. This brings steaming hot water to every hot tap in your house, whenever you want it. And at a remarkably low cost.

"At a remarkably low cost"—that is the special advantage of this new system. The hot water storage tank and the gas heater form one complete unit. The storage tank is like a large thermos flask. It is so perfectly insulated that water once heated up loses hardly any heat. Therefore only a tiny. glimmer of gas is needed to keep it steaming hot.

This new heater is automatic in action. There is not the slightest work to do. You light it and leave it to look after itself, safe and certain, day and night. It turns up the gas when water needs heating, and turns it down when the water is bot. You must learn more about this revolutionary discovery. Visit our showroom or write for further particulars.
