Oct. 17th—This Excursion was, by request, repeated. 
It was however at the Lectures and Sectional Meetings, held 
during the Winter months, that the attendances, which were 
uniformly good, exceeded those of any previous session. Since 
the outbreak of war, it has been less easy to secure the services 
of Lecturers, but fortunately during the past years the local 
Clergy did much to assist us in this direction. To Bishop Mercer 
in particular the Committee are under a debt of gratitude for the 
series of Lectures he delivered on various aspects of the Sub- 
Conscious Mind. The Committee are also indebted to the 
Venerable Archdeacon Paige Cox, the Rev. Canon Nairne, the 
Rev. Canon Hylton Stewart, the Precentor (the Rev. Harold H. 
Wright), the Rev. F. G. Wright, the Rev. E. C. Sherwood, and 
others for services rendered. 
The following is a Summary of the Lectures and Sectional
