nomical Section—the members of which we will always welcome to 
the general meetings. 
During the year we have been called upon to mourn the death 
of an old and valued member, Mr. A. E. Walker. May the inspira- 
tion of his faithful service raise up others to follow in his steps. 
The meetings held during the year have been of a high standard 
of excellence; the various sections are full of life and vigor; the

therefore, seems very bright and encouraging. 
All of which is respectfully submitted. 
S. A. Morean, G. L. JOHNSTON, 
President. Secretary.
