 come to an end, and while thanking all of them for their co-opera 

 tion and loyal support he wished the future of the society might be 

 worthy of its past.

 adapt itself in the way it had done to altering circumstances its 

 future was quite safe.

 Mr. Patterson, put to the meeting by Mr. Riddell, and unani- 

 mously carried.
