him felt they had lost a sincere friend. They tendered to the members of his family their sincere condolence. But there was a brighter side to it, for by his character and ability, Mr. Crombie had taught them—at least he hoped so—a lesson. Mr. Crombie was faithful to his God. He attended regularly his church. By conviction he was a deeply religious man, and his religion always came out in his practical daily work. With him it was not only a Sunday's work but a seven days' task. The city would feel his loss, but his memory would ever remain with them. He had left behind him a character and a life of work which it would be well for them to try and emulate. That court would miss Mr. Crombie very much. At the same time they would always have a happy remembrance of one with whom it had been a pleasure to be associated in all that Mr. Crombie had undertaken in many ways, and they could take something from his life that would be of help to them in the future in carrying out their daily work.
SHANGHAI. [C. H. Cheong, who left the School last year to pursue his studies in Shanghai, was evacuated from that city shortly after the opening of hostilities. In view of his experiences there, we confess a certain admiration for the oriental calm and detachment with which this article is written.—Ed.] Shangai—the adventurer's paradise, and the sixth city of the world is situated on the banks of the Whangpoo river. The traveller's first glimpse of Shanghai is the magnificent Bund, one of the largest in the world. The buildings are the most modern to be seen in Shanghai and their tops seem to be trying to pierce the clouds. It is here, on the Bund, where all the main business offices are situated. From the Bund the streets branch off into the centre of the city itself, the greatest street of these being Nanking Road, or the Great White Way of Shanghai, as it is called. Nanking Road is the main shopping centre in Shanghai and the stores and shops are open all day and every day, including Sunday. What surprises most strangers in Shanghai is the immense numbers of cabarets. Shanghai believes in dancing her troubles away, and there are over two hundred cabarets. alone in Shanghai. 24
