tending its views and operations as circumstances and the funds of the Society may permit.

2. Whereas it is indispensably necessary to have sufficient funds at command, so as to carry out the subjects of the foregoing Resolution: Therefore, Resolved, That every member of this Society be forthwith called upon to pay up all dues and arrears; and that the Treasurer be requested to hand in the names of those members who are in arrear, with the respective amounts due by each.

3. Resolved — That the Editors of the two Island Papers be respectfully requested to publish the foregoing.’1

After the publication of the Resolutions, the Highland Society slipped into a set of operations patterned by meetings, occasional stabs at the education system, and social gatherings. However, this pattern was interrupted a few years later by a cry just beginning to sound around the Canadian colonies and the United States — the cry for temperance.

In the few years directly preceding the outbreak of prohibition, the men of the Highland Society continued their tradition of revelry on the feast of their patron saint. The 1843 celebration was no exception. Complete with dinner, drink, toasts, speeches and music, the evening successfully upheld the Scottish spirit of kinship and camaraderie. There was, however, something unusual about the notice of the celebration; a hint that the 1837 affiliation of the Sons of St. Andrew with the Highland Society of London had not been complete:

Nemo Me Impune Lacessit.
