Federation, SO as to secure proper rep

ready earnestly at work. Meetings have
also been held in Mitcheltown and other
centres of National opinion. The clergy

capacity, his we'll known energy, and the
fact that he has in his employment a
large staff, will be a sufficient guarantee
that the work will be well done and fin
