Summary
He hoped, he said, that a time would come when a few mechanics would be found in a Mechanics’ Institute. He was happy to aid the institution. He wished them all the good wishes of the coming season: he might be rather premature as to the time of uttering these, but they were surely not out of season, for good wishes were never out of season.
