Respecting the honour that had been bestowed npon him , he thought it was not so much for what he himself had done , as the reputation tho Chapter held for good working . It was an honour he considered conferred upon the Affability Chapter , through whioh he was the
fortunate recipient . It was a pleasure to work amongst its members and very fascinating . The brotherly love aud unanimity that always prevailed had attracted him from his temporary retirement , and he felt assured ho should be as interested in the welfare of the Chapter as ever .
