The new Executive have decided to give three special 
evenings to entertain the King’s Daughters Girls’ Association, 
and the members of the Protestant Orphan Asylum, and the 
Wiggins Male Orphan Asylum. Some of the lectures in our 
course will be repeated. 
In beginning on our second quarter century of work as an 
Auxiliary to the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, 
while we have many sad losses to mourn, we have much to 
encourage us to renewed effort. We have now 375 members 
on our list, in good standing, and as our work is pre-eminently 
educational, I hope and believe that we will all .strive to make 
it more and more successful each year in “drawing out” 
(as the word means) what is best and noblest in each and 
every one with whom we in our Association come in contact. 
Thus will we, in recalling ever our Motto “Progress is the law 
of life” realize also the poet’s words, “Love is life’s only sign.” 
K. M. Matthew, President.
