the floor for . few minutes. before the
b~alloting began. TO call attention 70 the
meaning OF section I'd Of the Constitu'
ton, regarding the application Of the
son OF q Pacific Coast Pioneer 10 become
q member Of this Society. He stated
| that Il was not the intsntion Of the fra
mers Of the Constitution to exclude such
an applicant from joining this Society.

q member Of the branch Of the Society
located in this place. DIR. Holmes. one
Of the Trainer. Of the Constitution. coin
eidsd with this opinion. This explana-

could have good use Of II, and was. in
consequence. dependent on the charity
Of his friends. and II stood the Pioneers
in hand to sec that ono Of their number

I'VE are assured from the past history

been unfortunate. but rather care for
