of members thereof, so far as the re-
cords contain the names of members.
The membership roll is, however, in

seven or eight years ago large COM
mittee was appointed to solicit new
members, and some membres of that
committee never made complete re-
port of members obtained by them; it
is, therefore, requested that every
person who paid for membership.

members may be added to the roll.
