APPENDIX F CIX 



Great Britain and the United States 25, 50 and 75 years respectively 

 after the War of 1812-1815, effectually barring any possibility of 

 Peace celebrations at the periods mentioned. Popular sentiment 

 was unduly excited on one or both sides of the international boundary 

 at each period. 



April 12. "TheFaithof our Fathers", by Rev. Joseph E. Ryerson, 

 a sympathetic treatment of the differences in religious belief and prac- 

 tice among the pioneers of Upper Canada . 



May 3. "Readings from an Author's MS.", by Rev. R. W. 

 Norwood, M.A. of London. 



Mr. Norwood dwelt with the future of humanity from the stand- 

 point of the philosopher and poet. 



The Women's Auxiliary, whose members are also members of the 

 Institute, has had a successful year. Its activities have been almost 

 entirely limited to the exigencies of the war, the preparation of papers 

 having been largely dispensed with in order that the Society's energies 

 might be devoted in co-operation with other Societies to effective work 

 for the soldiers at the front. 



The Institute has gladly contributed a substantial sum, consider- 

 ing the resources available, to the Patriotic Fund, to which its members 

 generally have also individually contributed. The Council believes 

 that the Institute will be willing to make further payments to the limit 

 of the fund, if required. All other objects of our Society rnay well 

 remain in, abeyance, as long as the existence of the empire, our civiliza- 

 tion, and the fundamental principles and aims of Christianity are in 

 peril.
