SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS BREAK SOD FOR FOUNDATION OF NEW HONGKONG CHURCH

In spite of the heavy downpour of rain and the threatening typhoon on Tuesday, members of the Seventh- day Adventist Church met at their now church building site on Ventris

was Road where a unique service held.

Pastor Charles A. Larsen, of the Hongkong church: was the chief speaker of the afternoon. He pointed out that the service they were con- ducting was of special significance, not only to members of the local church and those from different parts of China who are temporarily residing in the Colony, but to all other mem- of their communion as well. Pastor Larsen prefaced his remarks: by saying, "We have met to com- the 50th anniversary of

He continued, "On this occasion we are, góing tô break sod for the foundation of the Ploncer Memorial Church The pastor emphasized the importance- Hongkong as a missionary centre, and said that the church members in all parts of China, as well as the General Conference organization. had contributed most liberally to make possible the construction of a representative place of worship in this important centre.

Pastor A. L. Ham; one of the ploncer workers of the denomination In China and the superintendent of the work of the Seventh-day Advent- 1st Church in South China, turned the first spade of earth for the foundation of the building. After a photograph was taken of the group, they pro

WHY THE? ROBOT?

BECAUSE THE ROBOT is the truly ideal camera of to-day for beginner and accomplish- ed amateur alike. It is simplicity personified. It is of such an automatic nature that it leaves nothing to chance. No cumbersome focus- sing, neither range-finder nor ground glass. The novel short-base lens gives a similar effect to the lens of a movie camera. The film is automatically wound after every exposure and the shutter so swifty re-set that up to four pictures can be taken per second! The ROBOT can be loaded with sufficient film for about 50 pictures, but there is no need to finish the whole roll before the film can be removed, construction permitting the camera to be -opened in daylight and a part of the film, even ONE PICTURE, re- moved! The yellow filter is built-in, and can be switched on or off as desired. But there are so many interesting features; ́ask us to explain them.
