occasions , he might tell the meeting that he was connected with a very large shipping firm in the port of London , trading under the name of Tomliu and Nephew . Tho uncle , however , was dead , and Bro . Winn was now , and had been for many years , a member of the firm . He felt sure that knowing what Bro .

upon so worthy a brother they would be happy to do by electing him a Trustee of the Male and Sustentation Fund . Bro . R . B . Webster seconded the nomination , which wa 3 unanimously agreed to .
