We have played golf regularly tp- worked to- gether and we have gether at this Church and at the Home for so many neara that our friendship has becu jocularly liken- ed to the partnership of "Laurel and Hardy.'

Many of us here will remember Mrs. Edmonds, who unfortunately had to leave the Colony some three years ago on account of ill health. We all rejoice in the forthcoming happy reunion of Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds and their sun Peter and we extend to them our best wishes for their future happiness.

Mr. Collins has been a stalwart supporter of our Church for the last four years, renewing his nc- Church quaintanceship with our

from a former period of service Extending from 1907 to 1911. Mr. Collins has been one of our most regular worshippers at Wanchai, and his work as Foreign Mission nry Secretary has been outstanding but I think we will all remember Mr Collins mostly for his work in connection with the Badminton Club of this Home.
