    the Committee are glad to say that, so far, the money obtained has been sufficient to meet all the current expenses. The Committee desire it to be distinctly understood, how- ever, that the Lecturers have not only given their services free, but that many of them have most kindly been at considerable outlay in providing illustrations for their lectures. The expenses have been only in connection with the hall, and in paying for advertising and printing. Up to this time, 207 members have joined the Society. Con- sidering the large audiences who have benefitted by the Lectures, the Committee consider this number rather dis- appointing, and they trust that it will soon be largely in- creased. It entirely depends upon the support given, not only of money but of influence, what amount of good the Society can do. The Society is very anxious to do a great deal. It is very anxious, for instance, to provide proper means of Amusement for the People, such as a suitable Gymnasium, so that young men and women, when the weather is wet and the days are short, can go to an airy hall and practise Physical Exercises and have other innocent amusements, which are so essential to their general health. But this cannot be done without additional funds, obtained from a much larger Eoll of Members. It is therefore hoped that all will help the Health Society, not only with their money but with their interest, and such help will be a great spur to the Committee to continue their labours in promoting the health and happiness of their fellow citizens.
