 that he has brought forward. (Applause.) 



The resolution having been put to the Meeting by the Chairman, 

 was carried by acclamation. 



Rev. John Tuckwell. — It would not be becoming to separate, I 

 think, without returning our very cordial thanks to the Chairman 

 for presiding over us this afternoon. He came to fill a gap — not 

 always a very enviable position to occupy — and he has helped us 

 out of a difficulty, and I beg to move that our very hearty thanks 

 be given him. 



The Secretary. — I have much pleasure in seconding that 

 resolution. I think we are all indebted, and certainly I am, 

 personally, to Sir Joseph Fayrer for so kindly consenting to occupy 

 the chair at this critical time. 



The resolution was carried unanimously.
