A list of those who had lately resigned was read over, 

 those present noting such as they wished to call upon with 

 the view to having them continue their subscriptions. 



It is the opinion of this Committee that, by the individual 

 efforts of the members of the Society, the membership roll 

 could be greatly increased, and the members are, therefore, 

 specially appealed to to assist in this matter. 



Respectfully submitted. 



J. Stevenson Brown, 



Chairman.
