ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



It was then proposed by E. J. Sewell, Esq., seconded by J. C. 

 Dick, Esq. : — 



That H. Lance Gray, Esq., and George Avenell, Esq., be 

 appointed honorary auditors for the year 1919. 

 Carried unanimously. 



The Chairman added : — The careful keeping of accounts is 

 most important in all Societies, and we gratefully acknowledge the 

 wise supervision given by our honorary auditors. 



Before we separate I should like to mention a fact which I am 

 sure will give us all sincere pleasure. This morning at the meeting 

 of the Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society, nine 

 prominent men were recommended by them for the honour of being 

 elected Vice-Presidents at the coming Annual Meeting. The first 

 one selected, and whose nomination evoked the warmest applause, 

 was that of Mr. E. J. Sewell, our honorary secretary. For many 

 years he has been Chairman of the Editorial sub-committee of the 

 Bible Society, in which responsible position he has rendered most 

 valuable service. 



We congratulate him heartily upon the honour which he has 

 received. (Applause.) 



A cordial vote of thanks to Col. Mackinlay was proposed by Col. 

 Alves, and seconded by H. Lance Gray, Esq. This was carried 

 unanimously. 



The Meeting closed at 4 o'clock.
