"Carried unanimously.
"Resolution III.--In place of Mr. Podmore's first proposal it was
eventually decided to modify the resolution of 7th November, 1883, by
inserting the words 'to help on' between the words 'shall be' and the
words 'the reconstruction.'
"Resolution IV with certain omissions was agreed to unanimously,
viz.: That with the view of learning what practical measures to take
in this direction the Society should:
"_(a)_ Hold meetings for discussion, the reading of papers,
hearing of reports, etc.
"_(b)_ Delegate some of its members to attend meetings held on
social subjects, debates at Workmen's Clubs, etc., in order that such
members may in the first place report to the Society on the
proceedings, and in the second place put forward, as occasion serves,
the views of the Society.
"_(c)_ Take measures in other ways, as, for example, by the
collection of articles from current literature, to obtain information
on all contemporary social movements and social needs.
"Mr. Bland, Mr. Keddell, and Mr. Podmore were provisionally appointed
as an Executive Committee, to serve for three months, on the motion
of Mr. Pease. A collection was made to provide funds for past
expenses: the sum collected amounting to 13s. 9d."
It appears that Mr. Bland on this occasion acted as treasurer, though
there is no record of the fact.
