lie proposed this vote with special pleasure that mornings
slid with a feeling of deeper responsibility than ever,.
because the longer he lived the more he was impressed
with the great importance of the medical professine,
The cue which Is now exciting such /1 very painful

showed how very important it was medical men should

ing Bod, working righteousness, men of high Christian
principle, and that as the unimusked horrors of vivisection,
as practised by he trustee', only a few members of the
medical profession, are bringing some odium upon a pro-
fession, the me:idlers of which are second to none in
tenderness and compassionate sympathy with suffering,
he had especial pleasure in bearing his testimony to the
kindness and high principle of the medical officers con-
nected with this institution. Every one would join with
him in conveying a warn, vote of thanks to lir. Moorhead
for his continued service,' and lie (Mr. Breaves) would
pray that those who came here seeking for the relief of
bodily maladies 'night rind healing for the soul by the
precious ointment of Christ's name. (Hear).
The Rev. J. LONE-S seconded the resolution. Dr. Smith
tuust feel great comfort in being asseciated with Dr.
Moorhead. There were times when Dr. Smith tbe
absent, and therefore, how necessary it it he should have
by his side one possessing, as [Jr. Mo.irlanil dem,, such
intelligence, patience and skill. Mr. Greases hail spoken
sentiments respecting the medical profession in which
they had concurred, and there is no class of the community
to whom they are more indebted than to those who are
always anxious awl ready to con.,, forward in every good
work. Let them never forget that the powers id healing,
the power of relieving sickness, and of advance in all
medical skill, is due to the Author, from whom rmueth
every good and perfect gift, and, as medical Wen , often
give their services gratuitously, they would Mel the
highest reward in the blessings they confer on the Colliss
munit y.
Dr. MOORHEAD, in acknowledging the eompliments
tendered his sincere thanks to the Rev. Talbot Creavii,
and Rev. John Lynet for the be, eulogistic tern, i

conclusion Dr. Moorhead proissed "That the best

for his kind services its surgeon-dentist to the Sana-

sure the meeling would accord hue • hearty vote

Dr. Snail seconded. Mr. Baker invariably led
