want to complain, and if it be God's will that my work must take a different channel, I shall follow it to the best of my ability and as long as my strength permits. In presenting this brief resume of my work, and with it my resignation from the office of Secretary, I can only add that in all this work and in the severance of these ties, I want to express my gratitude to you and through you to all the members of the Executive Committee, to the Board. and to the membership at large for your uniform kindness, patience and aid, not only for myself but for those dependent on me. It is my wish, if it seem best to the committee, to let my resignation take effect at the next annual meeting. At the same time it is in the hands of the committee to do as it seems best. I had hoped at that time to be able to return and take up my work, but it is uncertain and I must not stand in the way of what is best for the Society. I shall not lose my interest in nor work for the Society. My only hope and prayer is that it shall go on in steadfast growth and in its work. What I have done is the only monument I want. With great respect I remain yours very truly, A. A. GRAHAM. This resignation was regretfully accepted by the Executive Committee and Mr. Randall, who had been Acting and Associate Secretary until this time, was elected to fill the office of Secretary until the next annual meeting of the Society.
