From Our Own Correspondent, Chengtu, Jan. 3.
The Overseas Club and Patriotic League held their annual meeting on "Our Day." A very interesting programme was given in the gymnasium of the Canadian School. The needs of the Red Cross ho: pitals in England were touchingly referred to by Mr. Hewlett H. M. Consul, and over $500 was subscribed.
A meeting of the Anglo-Saxon Union was held in the chapel of the M. E. M. Girls' Institute on Pilgrim Fathers' Day. An eloquent appeal was made for the Famine Relief Fund by Dr, Taylor and over $800 has been forwarded.
The citizens of the United States assembled on the M. E. M. Mission compound for their Thanksgiving Dinner. About 60 adults and 20 children. were present. This gives some idea of the rapidly increasing foreign population of Chengtu.
