On Mr Reith's retirement he was succeeded by Mr William T. Todd, who had acted as deputy-superintendent for the two previous years. Mr Todd became a teacher in the Sabbath School in 1881, and acted as secretary from 1884 until his appointment to the position of deputy-superintendent. Since his connection with Knox Church he has taken a very active and intelligent interest in its welfare, and since his promotion to the management of the Sabbath School he has amply fulfilled the high expectations that were formed of him when he was unanimously elected to that responsible position.
