what the (idea was, a d what a succeed ul and
admirable ruler she hal rade for this country, and he
was quite sure if there wise anythog wunted to

as regarded the toast, there was no good work but one

The Rev. H. V. Tuoursoa, in response, said he
was sure they would all agree with him that the
clergy and the bishops had at their heart the welfare
of the people over whom th.y wen. pia aud he was
