. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING-MAY 28, 1922.

Mr. C. J . Pollard, the Chairman, in mvving the adoption of the report and accounts, said every fllember played a useful part in the Society s history, and he hoped it would not be consIdered invidious to mention three super.wCJrkers: Mr. Oyery, Joint Secretary; ~1r. Read, Lecture Secretary; and ~lr. Lister, Trea:;urer. Many others contributed a \'ery valuable quota to the Society's general fund of health and prosperity, and be took this opportunity vi expressing the warm appreciation of the general body of members of the great amount of work done and time given by individual members. He prvpo~ed to leave to other speakers further com. ment on the various acti"ities of the Society. lIe wished to venti late bis ideas on the subject ef the attitude of the ethical movement towards the outside public. IIe had in mind ~Ir. Hvbson's recent presidentiaJl addre.s~ to the Ethical Union, enlltlEed .. The Ethical !\10vement and the i -aturaI11an." Th po ints rais d were of importance to South Place and Ethical Sccieties generall y . 111'. Hobsc.n asked why do so few of the iruelligent men and women of to· day .nrel themselves in our ranks, and be suggested that po"sibly our movement dves not in some respect make llself suffiCiently attractive to tho,;e, whom he typified, for the occasion, as the •. nat,:,ra~ man." He, indicated that he thougbt we might, without sacrifice cf prlnClple, make a stronger appeal to the average individual. The Chair. man sympathised \Vi h ~Ir. H e bson's implied criticism and yet 'when he came to think over the matter later he found it yery 'difficult to spcdfy any particular thing we might do, or should refrain from doing. J>erhap~ the clue was to be found in a broadening of spirit, a softening of atmlos­pherc, rather than in any definite action. Perhaps the movement ad. dressed itself too xclu~iYely t "pecial types (,f politIcal and religious .hi(lkers. "'hat, then, are the preponderating desires 01 the .. natural man, ' his more coulpelling need s ? He summarised t)lese desires under three heads: A good living j love and affection; recreatil1n . There was also an undeilying, jf not open, as;;umptJOn .that the <;ane pursuit of these ends strengthens character and covers most f the duties of life. Dves South Place sufficiently satisfy these desires? In the Chairman'S pinion the desIre of the <. natural man" £0r a gvod living receives its chief gratificatlon inside our Society from the adyocacy and discussion from the platform of those political and economic reforms, w.hich our speakers believe will help to secure for all who work good food, clothes, and housing condi­tions. This adyocacy is inspired by ethical convictions, and largely <;atisfies those who regard men and women in the mass, but will it sati -fv those whe, are influenced more bv personal than by political considerations? The latter class, however, sh()t;ld be able to appreciate that our general inculcation of flght condJct, Ollr advocacy of 'traight dealing, sound work, just behavicur, emphasises some of the es~entials of econe,mic betterment. Could we as a . 'ociety do much more, or differently, in th15 connection? The ~econcl in the category of desires, that of love and affectie,n, is, the Chairman thought, rather neglected by ethical ~cieties. Perhaps this is becau e these sentiments are concerned with personal rather than public feeling. He would, howe\"er, suggest that ill vur life as a Society we might gi\"e more play to the emotions, to the more intimate feelings of human nature. 'Ye are not nl v \'oters, m mbers of societies, employers, "mploye"s, \\"e are also parents, 'husbands, . wi\es, sw etrearts. "re require

not only lectures and discussions, we also need words which shall sp~ak ~::' us in a personal sense uprjn everyday questions of everyday life.

The tbird desire of the "natural man," that of recreation, includes with most. people, sport, social amusements, reading, tbe arts, the theatre and kindred pleasures. In this direction, he thougbt, South Place was well tv tbe fore . Certainly sport, in tbe sense of games, does not occupy an important place, althvugh we must not fvrget the rambles, and the Easter Holidays at Ryde, etc., which proviq~ fine opportunities for walk­ing. But games do nvt seem to come easily within our range. And at that limitation be could ,bear the "natural man" complaining. 'Whether cricket, tennis, football, in connection with our Society would be succes ful is d0ubtful. But in ministering to other form of recreation outh Place bas an excellent record . Tbe Concerts, under the entbusiastic and devoted care of Mr. elements and his Committee, provide lirst-class music, and have won the higbest admiration and widest popularity. Tbe Lectures, Discus~ion~, SOiree, Cbildren's Partie~, <lnd Library give vur members tbe fullest opportunities of satisfying a love of literature, the arts, play, and education . 'Ve bave also TLbeatre Parties and an Esperanto Class. And in the past tbe South l'lace dances were m0st succe sfnl. They will surely be revived.

From these reflections be concluded tbat on tbe wbole tbe "natural man" could have a good timll at South Place, if we but persuade him to become more intimately acquainted witb us. And yet be believed that something more migbt be done to make ourselves more buman, a little less formal and academic, and that the way lies in the direction of appeal to a wider circle and by giving ratber more attention to general interests, pursuits, and amusements.

After Mr. Errington had formally seconded the adoption of the Report and _kcounts, 1Ilr. Varian and :\Iiss F . A. Law pointed out that n mention was made in the Rep<..rt of tbe proposed jvint scheme with the R<itionalist Press Association, and in reply Mr. Read said that as tbe R.P.A. did not now see its way to provide the necessary capital they found tblemselves unable to co-operate in tbe way we had hoped.

NIr. Wallis Mansford, after expressing the hope that co-operation with the 1 .P.A. might yet be possible, criticised the form of the Trustees' Accounts, and suggested that tbe Trustees might have been more enter­pri ing in tbeir investments. Mr. loon Aldred replied, suggesting th.a.t it was not necessary or desirable that details should appear in the accounts . Members wvuld do well to leave the Trustees to decide on tbe policy of investments and could trust tbe auditors to see that the accounts were in proper form.

Mr. C . E . Lister (Hon. Treasurer) dealt with the general accounts, and specified the various increases and de-creases i11 income and expenditu!'e during the year. He explained that the surplus this year was exceptional and was mainly due to return of income tax, which would not rectir.

The discussion was continued by Mrs. C'lements, Mr . Read, Mr. Erring-ton, and Mr. Overy. The motion that the Report and Accounts be adopted was then put and carried.

The Chairman announced that only six members had been nominated for the seven vacancies on the Committee, and decl"!.red the fr,Howing per­sons duly elected: 'Miss V. A. Alexander, Miss A. Carpenter, Miss R. Halls, Mr. N. Lidstone, Mr. R. E. Snelling, and lILr. A. S. Toms. lIfr. C. E. Fairhall and Mr. W . T. Wixcey were appointed Auditors.

Mr. Overy (Uon . Secretary) conveyed to the members an affectivnate message of greeting and good wi. hes from Mr. IIerbert Burrows, who was unfortunately still an invalid. It was a.greed that the Secretary should thank Mr . Bnrrr,ws for his kindlv greeting and send him" the best wishes of the meeting." -

The present five Ifcturers of the Society were reappointf'd : Messrs . C. Delisle Burns, l\f.A . , Uerbert Burrows, J. A. Hobson, M.A., Joseph McCabe, and S. K. Ratcliffe.

The Chairman spoke of his work as cv-editor of the" Humanist," and said there was Some difficulty jn iully reporting South Place affairs in this paper.
