compliment to bo honoured with the agenda°.
of those gentlemen, who were at the head of

court in almost every town and village in t 1).
kingdom, and in many di-tant parts of the world.
It was formed simply for the purpose of alleviating
distress, aiding the weak, and comforting to
mourner, and he could not think of any high'
object they could associate for, In the last sixteen

£3,410,015., the funeral allowances to L 860,073"
and £64,882. had Wen paid for medical attendance,
' Let them think for a moment of the amount
taxation this providence on the part of the naeinher/
had saved the country. He proposed, "Success te
the greatest friendly society on the eartb, the
Ancient Order of Foresttv." coupling with it tbe
name of the High Chief Ranger, Brother

Mr. Girling, in acknowledging the kindneei ,ef

that the members should aim at training their
children up in the way in which they should go'.
and to follow their own example in fornibt
provideiit habits. He drew attention to the couri.:l
of juvenile Foresters, and to the way in wt,iela tb
acted as feeders to the adult societies. Ple
juvenile Foresters hal increased by 17,126 mein;
bars in the last six years, and they had inoresev
their capital to £29,876 There had been
ated into the order of juvenile Foresters in the 1111',
years 60,225 members, and 18,202 had been tro.j
tarred to various courts in that period. That
a step in the right direction; and if they had flOta.
juvenile society connectad with that district,
trusted the time was not distant when they %vow

form one.
The Chairman next gave the toast of tbuee
permanent secretary (Mr. Shaworoes), and efti
highly of his servioes to the Order. It ooneilt.

£13,339, in court and district funds. They vl°l
see when the figures were published an increase ;f
something like 15,000 members in the ageregice

from ye ir ,O year must be a perfect proof to eveirir
