The following telegram reached us from Tientsin on Monday: cing collected veto some. charity Darwent memorials ft ggosted that Shanghai should do the-same."
We feel sure that the very many friends of Mr. Darwent in Shanghai will appreciate and support this suggestion. We do not at present Know the scope of the suggested and, but it would be fitting tribute to aman who was so generally and genuinely esteemed that his memory Bhould be honoured in some mors permanent form than that which is customary, for his name deserves long to be remembered in Shang hai. Meanwhile the idea has occurred to the Committee of Union Church that there could be tne better memorial to Mr. Darwent by his friends in Shanghai than the, new Sunday School in the western district which it has long been. desired to build. an undertaking specially near to Mr. Darwent's heart. The site has, been bought and it is hoped that. work on the building will be begun, not Inter than early next spring. Friends of Mr. Darwent who would like to contribute to the building in memory of him are asked to subscriptions to Mr. Ellis Kadoorie School, by whom wey will be acknowledged through these columns.
