ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS 127 



who, by meeting me more than half way in everything, 

 has rendered my position an exceedingly easy one; to 

 Mr Rutherfurd of Fairnington, who so kindly fulfilled my 

 duties at Hawick last month; and to our Treasurer, Mr 

 W. J. Bolam, for his unfailing courtesy and help. My last 

 duty before quitting this chair is a pleasant one. It is 

 that of naming as my successor Rev. James Fleming 

 Leishman, M.A.., the much respected minister of the parish 

 of Linton, an appointment which I feel confident will 

 meet with the whole-hearted approval of the members 

 of the Club.
