Wall, Sir, we in the C.M.S., with led the cordial good will of Sir Frederick Logard, whom we do not meet to-day for the first time io our mist have pat our hand to this thing. We dread the incoming of all this Western learning spart from the balancing and inspiring principles of the Christian Faith.
Our hostel methods are pretty well known, Mr. Holland does not thrast religion down the throats of his students at Allahabad, Neither shall we do 80 in Hongkong.
But we know from experience that no young man can pass through the carricalam of one of on mission schools hostels and look upon things in the. same way as his fathers did.
