ANNUAL MEETING. 141 
The Rev. Prebendary Wacr, D.D.—Permit me to return thanks 
on behalf of those who have read papers during the Session, and 
also to express my own for your kind resolution. 
Mr. H. Capman Jonrs.—I beg to propose “ that the thanks of the 
meeting be given to the President for his conduct in the Chair.” 
(Cheers.) It is always with the greatest pleasure that I have to 
move anything connected with him; we were at Cambridge at the 
same time, and were friendly rivals, though he became a great 
scientific man. I am sure the meeting will have the greatest 
pleasure in passing a resolution to this effect. (Applause.) 
Captain Creak, F.R.S.—I rise to second this resolution. Weall 
know that our President is a friend to science, for few have ever 
attained so high a position in the scientific world as he has, and 
his presence here shows that he has faith as well. (Applause.) 
The vote was passed unanimously and conveyed to the 
President. 
The Prestpent.—I rise to return my thanks to the Meeting for 
the way in which they have received this resolution. I feel, indeed, 
and confess that I have done but little of what a President 
might naturally be called on to do, but to do that little and to 
preside at your meetings, has afforded me great pleasure. In 
conclusion, I am sure I heartily wish that the ideas which exist in 
some minds, of the discrepancies between faith and science, may 
be removed, and all effective work done towards their removal is, 
[ am sure, a good work. 
The Meeting was then adjourned,
