drawn up and various matters relating to the Society's welfare 

 were discussed. A recommendation was made that Mr. John D. 

 Evans, of Trenton, a past President of the Society and a most 

 useful adherent for many years, should be elected a Life Member. 

 This was subsequently done at the general meeting. It was 

 decided that the next annual meeting be held at Macdonald 

 College, Que. The President proposed that information regard-

 staff and students of the College and of the Macdonald Institute. 

 The lecture was copiously illustrated by many fine lantern slides.
