Most of the authors of the papers that are to be read to-night are not with us, and they will be represented by proxy. We have, however, the Archbishop of Zante with us, and he will read a brief protest against a certain superstition prevalent in the East. His Grace the Archbishop, coming forward, spoke with great emphasis as follows : Most Honorable Ladies and Gentlemen, — I am not a Jew. I am a Christian, a profound believer of the truth of the gospel. [Applause.] I am always bound to defend the truth, and for this reason I present a paper here to-night.
