sure you will all entirely concur in it. I have pleasure in also bearing 
testimony to the great value of our Chairman’s services ; and I may say I 
know that his addresses have had considerable influence outside our Society. 
Our noble President has told me, that in the circle in which he moves, he 
hears constantly that the effect produced by those addresses is considerable 
indeed ; and I am sure you will give your unanimous vote of thanks to Mr. 
Mitchell for presiding on this occasion. 
The motion was carried with acclamation. 
Rev. W. Mitchell. — It gives me the greatest possible pleasure to work 
for this Society. I feel it to be a labour of love, as well as a duty ; but 
that labour is very considerably lightened by the assistance I so constantly 
receive from our Honorary Secretary, and also from our worthy Treasurer. 
They do everything they can to lighten any little work I undertake, and I can 
assure you it gives me the most sincere pleasure, on every occasion when I 
have an opportunity of meeting you, and of furthering the interests of this 
Institute, which I believe to be identical with the best interests of our race. 
(Applause.) 
This concluded the business of the Meeting.
