Since last Session the Christian Union has lost two of its old identities, W. Gillanders and J. A. Rybura, each of whom has left the College to enter on another sphere of labour. Men of streling worth they were, pioneers of the Christian Union, and it well behoves us to wish them every success in their future careers.

With the future of our two delegates from the Healesville Conference. Victoria, it was to be expected that this year the Christian Union would make a decided progressive movement. This hope has to a large extent been realised. The total membership now stands at 111, a decided increase upon that of last year, and it does indeed appear that the Christian Union is now a force in the College. All branches of the work have been entered on with enthusiasm by the members. The Bible Study classes, the most important section of the work, have now a total attendance of 79, 9 circles having been formed, 6 for women and 3 for men. The text-book used is Oldham's "Studies on the Life of Christ."

The Mission Study class, despite the early hour (7.15 p. m.) at which it meets on Saturday evenings, has a membership of 22, which, under the circumstances, is most satisfactory.

The hand-book, in a much improved edition, was as usual presented to students at the opening of the session, and the Executive expresses the hope that freshmen found its information of use in their introduction to College life.
