‘1. That three Members of the Council should retire in 
rotation each year —one from each Committee. 
«2. That the By-Law which requires the election of 
three distinct Committees be repealed, and that a general 
Council of twenty-one be annually elected, pursuant to 
charter.” 
The Rev. Charles Graves, D. D., moved the following 
amendment, which was seconded by Rev. Humphrey Lloyd, 
D. D.:— 
‘“‘ That the Council be recommended to take into its con- 
sideration the By-Laws relating to the constitution and

amount of annual change among its Members.”
