yesterday, having a little leisure, I wrote to the Lieutenant-Governor of
the North-West Provinces of India, when I mentioned Borth in equally warm
terms. (Applause.) That, I need not say, is going on all around us.
These three hundred pens of our school are busy day by day giving to
their friends their own views of our life here, and I may no doubt say
that on the whole they are pleasant views. (Cheers.) It is not only a
pleasant fact to mention, but I hold that where life is working well with
life it is a real power for good that goes out into all lands, a sort of
missionary force traversing this earth, speaking of us as capable of
coming here, and of the welcome you have given us. (Hear, hear.) That,
however, would be a slight thing if we did not leave behind us, as I am
sure we do, that feeling of happy life which we take away with us.
(Cheers.) For my own part, at all events, if I leave, it is not the last
time I hope to spend in Borth. (Applause.) I know no place that has
been more attractive to me, no place where, if I can, I shall more
readily come back to--not, I hope, next time as an exile, but coming from
home to happy holiday to spend it pleasantly among my friends here.
(Applause.)

MR. LEWIS proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Dr. Childs for his
gratuitous attendance on the sick in his professional capacity. (Loud
cheers.)

DR. CHILDS referred to the pleasure experienced in doing a kindly action,
and afterwards humorously added that at one time he thought of setting up
in practice at Borth, but finding the place so healthy he had given up
the idea. (Laughter and cheers.) He should, however, know where to send
his convalescent patients in future. He should recommend them to take
the first train, and spend a week on the sands at Borth, with an
occasional dip in the Neptune Baths. (Loud laughter and cheers.) Three
