He urged them to imitate St. Andrew's unselfishness. He asked them never to envy the success of others or their possessions, or the prizes that they had won. Even if they were competitors it would be better to be thankful that they were friends and that they had helped them, he said.

He asked them to follow St. Andrew and bring people to Jesus by the words they spoke—not as missionaries nor by preaching sermons but by their words and example. In conclusion he expressed the wish that they would all join the great Brotherhood of St. Andrew, learning to know and love Jesus themselves and to bring that knowledge to others.

A rickshaw puller..was killed and a soldier of the. East Surrey Regiment suffered. severe leg injuries early yesterday. morning near the western perimeter in a head-on crash between a rickshaw and a small British military lorry.

The accident occurred in Keswick Road, at Tunsin Road, at 6.45 o'clock. The lorry was northbound and had just passed a small bridge, under repair, when the rickshaw came in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road. There was a passenger in the rickshaw.

The driver of the lorry swerved his vehicle towards the railway to avoid striking the rickshaw, and the coolie at the same time turned his rickshaw in the same direction. A collision was unavoidable, the rickshaw puller being struck' with tata! results and the rickshaw being crushed. The fare, however, was thrown. from his seat and escaped uninjured. As soon as he regained his feet he started to run, Before the driver could place the lorry under control, the vehicle continued at a fast clip and smashed into an electric power pole by the side of the road. The lorry was thrown on its side and one of the soldiers in the rear of the car was injured, while the driver was only badly shaken. The soldier, with one leg severely hurt, was taken first to the Country Hospital and later to the British Military Hospital in Central Road. The lorry was righted and towed away.
