THE WATER SUPPLY OF JERUSALEM. 25 



I have great pleasure, therefore, in seconding the vote of thanks^ 

 and as the President cannot well do so himself, I will now put it 

 to the Meeting. 



[The vott of thanks was then carried unanimously.] 



The President. — I am very grateful to you, ladies and gentle- 

 men, for the kind way in which you have received this proposal. 



I am advanced in years, and I have duties in Cambridge, so that 

 I fear it is only now and then that I have been amongst you. 

 Still 1 have occasionally and on somewhat recent occasions come 

 up, when most of you have not been aware of it, to take part in 

 important meetings of the Council when I have felt it my duty to 

 be present. 



1 have endeavoured throughout my office to lead everybody to 

 examine any subject quite fairly and without prejudice, for we 

 may all be sure that truth from one quarter will not contradict 

 truth from another. Let us openly and honestly follow oat 

 Truth. (Applause.) 



The Meeting: then terminated.
