                           and who give  promise of producing original work which may
                           promote  the  cause of the  Church's Mission in Unity.

                     (2)   One Ecumenical Scholarship Exchange Scholarship - The  purpose
                           of this scholarship is to enable a student  to  do post-graduate

                     eligible  to apply for any one  of the  stated scholarships.
                         We are  disappointed to report that although we had made  the
                     above scholarships known to the member churches/organizations yet
                     there  was no application for any of  these scholarships for 1967-68
                     Nevertheless,  we have received one application  for  the Ecumenical
                     Scholarship Exchange Scholarship for 1968 - 1969.  The above
                     scholarships are still available  for the Academic year 1969-1970.
                     Those  interested should apply now.

                7.  Industrial Committee

                     Aims

                          Last year's events made  it  clear that industry is one  of the
                     key institutions in Hong Kong.  For good or ill,  it  can affect
                     the  whole quality of social and individual life.  The Industrial
                     Committee's aims,  therefore,  go beyond factory visiting or
                     individual evangelism to a concern with  the organization goals
                     and values  of our industrial society.  Its aims  are:

                     (1)  To  contribute  to the  well-being of Hong Kong's economic and
                           industrial life.

                     (2)  To demonstrate and interpret the relevance of Christian belief
                           to such concern.

                     (3)  To take  such action as may be  desirable and required on matters
                           affecting the industrial and economic  life of the  community.

                     (4)  To stimulate and co-ordinate the  work of the  Churches in
                           relation to industry in Hong Kong.


                     (9 )  To maintain contacts with other Christian industrial committees
                           and their activities  locally and abroad.

                     Work

                     Contact  with Industry

                          This  will be  long term work and must  be  done in co-operation
                     with many others in industry and the  Church.  It requires the building
