you, Sir, to unveil the window to the glory of God and in grateful memory of the eight years' spiscopate of our late Bishop.
His EXCELLENCY, having pulled the oord which furled the veil and exposed the window to view, mid-I unveil this window to the glory of God and to the memory of Joseph Charles Hoare, D.D., Bishop of this diocese from 1898 till 1906, who lost his life at sea in the typhoon of September 18th, 1906, and who was beloved of all men for his single hearted devotion to bis daty. | At the request of the contributors to the memorial I entrust this window to the keeping of the authorities of this osthedral,
The Rev. F. T. JOHNSON, obaplain, accepted the trust on behalf of the church authorities, and offered up the following dedicatory prayer. "O Almighty and Eternal God, Thou who art greatly to be feared in the assembly of Thy saints and art had in honour of all those that are round about Thee; we humbly 'beseech Thee, that Thou wilt look down from the Throne of Thy Majesty, and wilt accept and sanctify this window which we now offer to the glory of Thy great Name and in a emory of Thy faithful servant. Receive from our hands, we beseech Thee, this gift which we present, and vouchsafe Thy blessing that it may ever point heavenwards the thoughts and minds of all who worship in this Thy House of Prayer. And, O most powerful and glorious Lord God, at whose command the winds blow, and lift up the wares of the sea, and who stillest the rage thereof, grant that we Thy servants may learn and seriously consider how frail and uncertain our condition here on earth is, and so number our days as to apply our hearts unto wisdom; that in the midst of life thinking upon death, and daily preparing ourselves for the judgment that is to follow, we may have our part in the resurrection of eternal life; through Him who died for our sins, and rose again for our justi. floation, and now liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. AMEN.”
One of the hymns sung was "Jesus lover of my soul," the favourite of the late Bishop.
The sermon was preached by the Ven. Aroh- deacon BANISTEE, who dealt with the solution of the race problem, a subject which had occupied the attention of the recent Lambath Conferencs. This problem was the despair of men to day but the church came forward with the message, the old time message of the gospel "Ye are all one in Christ." Resolution No. 20 at the Confer- ence read thus: "All races and all peoples whatever the language or position must be welded into one body."

Here in Hongkong we stood midway between the three great peoples of Asia-Japan, India, and China, and was it not the most appropriate place in the world to call such an associati a into existence for promotion of the brotherhood of men ?

Captain Senden of the Prinz Waldemar stated that he arrived in Sydney on August 8th. He found the defendants on the top of the ship's boilers. They had not obtained passages, and did not form part of the crew.

Would you allow it if you kne it was being done ?-No, certainly not.
What is the penalty if a Chinese gets into Australia ?-£100.
Is the captain flued, or the owners?-The

Were the defendants banded over police in Australia ?—No, I had them looked up until the Chinese Merobants Association paid a guarantee of £100 each that they would not run away.
Who would get the £100 if they diɗ?- The Australian Government.
Mr. Holmes-Were these men fined in any way? I don't think so,

there were three things brought to their minds by looking at the beautiful window just exposed with its `pictured story. There they saw the realisation of the ideal of Christ, the task completed, the work done, and the discipline passed through. They would
see lower down in the window the essential con- dition through which the ideal was to be realised. Throughout the ages the ideal was that through conflict, storm and suffering would the crown of glory be won. Future genera tions of worshippers into that church would be told of these great ideala-the window would point to the great idea! of the Church of Christ. That ideal could only be realised through strife and suffering and toil. The window was B memorial of one who
to that ideal, gave himself up
пр to that task. From the early days of hi. vicariate in Tunbridge Wells, from the days os his schoolboy life, from the days when he was an undergraduate at Cambridge, their late Bishop set before himself. the ideal of doing something to realise that men should be at one in Christ Jesus, and as men and women wor- shipped within those sacred walls they would
think of him who tried to realise that ideal. They in Hongkong had a task that ought to be confronted fearlessly of doing something to bring together, the broken parts of the family of God, and about that he wanted to speak. After dealing with the exist ing "differences in race and colour, he suggested that these differences if they could not be removed should be bridged over. The same with regard to differences in social conditions. What were they doing in Hongkong to deal with the Asiatic problem? He would suggest that in Hong- keng there should be formed an organisa

Mr. Holmes pleaded guilty on behalf of his clients, and asked his Worship to deal leniently with them.
The defendants who were not represented said they had given the head fireman 36 0 apiece to take them to Australia. The fireman set them to work on the steamer, and told them be would guarantee their landing in Australia.
His Worship said this was considered a serious cff-nos by the Australian Government. and Shippers were liable to a fine of $1000 if the men escaped. He would therefore fine each of the defendants $1000, in default six mɛnths' imprisonment.
A TRADE MARK CASE IN JAPAN.
We learn from the Japan Mail that decision has been given in the Patent Baresa on a protest filed by Herr J. 8. Staedtler of Nuern berg against M. Takakawa, la pendil mang- facturer of Osaka. On Feb. 24th 1904, the German manufacturer registered a trade-mark showing a representation of a human facs within a crescent and the description:"J. S. Staedtler's Moon " affixed to all pencils manufactured by him. His complaint was that a Japanese registered a trade-mark consisting of a new moon with the inscription 144, T 8. Stan- dard,” and that this closely resembled his trade- mark. He further held that the registration of the Japanese trade-mark should be taken as nul sand void since it would create preplexity in the public mind vis-a-vis the German mark. Mr. Nakamatau, Director of the Pated' Bureau, admitted the protest and ordered the Japanese manufacturer to refrain from using the trade- mark on pencils made by him

Mr. Davidson, who appeared on behalf of the defendant, submitted that his client being an officer of the German naval reserve was entitled to the exemptions stated by the Ordinance.

On the night before, he took a Chinaman into his cabin and showed him a pistol which in reply to his visitor's questions he said was worth $28. The Chinaman wanted to buy it but defendant told him he could not do so unless he produced a licenos He also showed the Chinaman a book which explained how the pistol should be taken apart, It was not a book of pistol patterns
Did you offer to sell no less than six revolvera at one time ?-No.
You had a Browning pistol?-Yetel, Where is it P-I have it now. It was ou a book shelf in my room when the police searched it.

What did you use five revolvers for ?—I used three for target practice. They are all diff sreat.
Mr. Davidson contended that defendant as an officer of the German naval reserve was entitled to the benefit of the exemption under the Ordinare,
His Worship did not accept this view, and witnesses were called to state for what purposes the arms were used.
