the Himber meeting on FRIDAY night last.
Another wanted TO know if Stewart had really
authorized his name 70 be proposed. Another
said he was glad to see men being converted, but
he would have to be pretty well assured of Mr..
Stewards conversion before he would vote to
allow him to come in. Two or three members

said: Yes, certainly; by all means take my

ing would be there myself" The question was
then clinched by q member stating that Mr.
