SUNDAY SERVICE

WITH

GOVERNOR ATTENDS

LADY NORTHCOTE AND OTHER H.K. NOTABLES

St. Andrew's 'Sunday was observed with special Church servlees yesterday, the most colourful of which was the parado of the Scottish Company of the Yolunteers at the Hongkong Union Church, where the service was attended by H.E. the Governor and Lady, Northcote, and the Chieftain and Committee of St. Andrew's Society. Following this parade and service, there was the time-honoured reception at Volunteer Head-

quarters.

At St. Andrew's Church, Kowloon, the Patronal Festival was celebrated, when the Vicar preached on the life and message of the Saint.

Yesterday afternoon in St. John's Cathedral, the local R.A.0.B. organisation held a memorial service for members of their brotherhood who had fallen in the Great War, and for Reman Delaney, of the Royal Ulster Rides, who was recently killed at Shanghai.

Firstly, ho revealed the true nature of God. Through Him we know that there is one God, and one God only, Who has crented this universe, and Who controls it completely in wisdom and in love. Therefore, no matter how much appearances seem to belie our hope, we still have calm con- fidence in Him. And looking back on the long course of human history, Is this faith not justified, that God is over all and in all7 Impediments and hindrances to God's purposes there may have been, and still may be; but God "can afford to be very patient for He is eternal." I is this belief in the eternal and unchange- able nature of God, Who rules the world in wisdom and in love! Who Is the same yesterday, to-day and forever, which is one of the founda- tions which anyone must have who would face ilfe in quielness and con- Indence.
