KINGS DAUGHTERs.-A meeting of
the Kings Daughters, in response to a
call from the president of the united
circles, was held in Christ Church
chapel yesterday afternoon.
A small balance was still due on the
Infirmary building fund, and, at the
annual meeting OF the circles, held sew
eral weeks since, the matter had been
brought before the members, and an
earnest appeal was made by the presi-
dent to induce them to make an effort
to extinguish theindebtedness before the
close of the year. On account of a mis-
understanding the amount due had
been overstatod, but those present will
ingIy agreed to assume the payment
When it was found that the amount
needed would not be SO large as was
stated, the president issued the call
for the meeting yesterday in
order to make it known. A number
were present, and the entire amount
was paid at that time, the money hav.
Ing been contributed by several of the
circles.
And now, the debt is cancelled; a
burden is lifted from the circles, who
have nobly fulfilled their pledge, AMI
each one is free TO give renewed energy
to other work in connection with the
institution, or in any other direction in
which they may be led. Under the
auspices OF the st. Luke's Circle, of 81.
Paul's Church, concert is to be given
on Friday evening 18th inst.) to raise
fund for needed Improvement in the
DR.. NJ. NJ. Lewis Surgical Ward. 1t
will doubtless be an enjoyable affair,
and we hope they will meet with large
measure of the success they SO we'll de-
se'ya.
The Iu6rmary building is an orna
ment to our city and is quietly perhaps,
but surely, doing noble work. This
is largely due 10 the energy of the
Kings Daughters, and their unselfsh
and persistent devotion to the work in
which they have borne so large share,
and they must always feel an interest
in the Institution. which owes SO much
TO their combined efforts.
We have wrought, unitedly, in His
name, Whose daughters we call our
selves, and He has crowned our work
with abundant success. TO Him be all
