  The 
  interest 
  and 
  support 
  accorded 
  to 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  

   Museum 
  by 
  its 
  Members 
  have 
  been 
  most 
  gratifying. 
  Receipts 
  

   from 
  membership 
  are 
  used 
  to 
  enrich 
  the 
  collections 
  and 
  to 
  

   extend 
  the 
  educational 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  institution, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  hoped

  may 
  be 
  greatly 
  increased.
