The Moderator announced as the next
business the election of officers. FIe
said that for five years he had been
honored with the position of presiding
officer Of the body, an honor from his

brother equally as worthy as himself.

responsibilities of the office. He was
again renominated, but requested that
he be allowed to withdraw his name,
which was granted. The association
then proceeded to an election with the
following result:

come. DR.. Dunaway, in assuming the
duties of his position. thanked the as
ISOLATION, and said that he should en-
deavor TO discharge the duties Of his
responsible position with fidelity and TO
the best of his ability. He said further:

pathy and cooperation OF the brethren.

when we run up against this stone-wall de-
cision of hers that "They" are not wearing
what we want and therefore she cannot show
it to US, and out of pity for our benlShted-
ness probably she would not show it if she
had, her high duty being to promote the
fultillment of the fashions. liz one wishes
brocade when stripes are in fashion. she ap-
parentiy considers the ugliest stripe as inri-

may sometimes have to sacrifice her Indi-
vidual taste to this high duty, bat if so, she

could not believe that we wished brOcade;
surely we had made a mistake in the Ian
