2 ANNUAL MEETING. 
are recognised by all thoughtful men. Such cordial co- 
operation is of inestimable value to the Institute and its 
objects. 
2. Under the system organised by the Institute, members 
in the most distant parts of the world continue to contribute 
papers and to take part, by correspondence, in the discussion 
of the same. 
3. It is satisfactory to note the continued progress of the 
“American Institute of Christian Philosophy,” an indepen- 
dent society, founded on the lines of the Victoria Institute, 
whose statement of objects was adopted by it. Its founders 
are still members of this Institute, and among the foremost 
to bear testimony to the value of its work. 
4. At the commencement of the present session the sale 
of the house in which the Institute had offices rendered it 
necessary to obtain new premises. The immediate action taken 
by the Council resulted in securing the only suitable apartments 
available in this part of London, and, happily, on the same 
terrace; although the difficulties that had to be overcome 
were great, yet the Council’s arrangements were successful, 
and the change was carried out without interfering with the 
regularity of the meetings.
