The Society at the present time is in a flouriahing condition and although 

 interest in the Society's work diminished during the war, in which two valued 

 members lost their lives, we have since been strengthened by the addition of 

 several new members and signs are not wanting that interest in the work of the 

 Society will continue to increase.
