ANNUAL MEETING. 



The Institute would be greatly aided by each individual 

 Member and Associate interesting their friends at home, 

 abroad, and in the colonies in it. Considering the tendency 

 of modern popular thought there is a special need for its 

 work being carried on as at present, under the auspices 

 of those leading men of the day who have associated them- 

 selves with the President.*

4. The Council regrets to announce the decease of tlie fol- 

 loAving supporters of the Institute, containing as it does 



* The tendency of the Victoria Institute's work has been to bring 

 about a truer a])preciation of the results of scientific inquiry, and those 

 results have been to demonstrate that thei'e is an absence of op]5osition 

 between Science and Religion. The Institute was founded, not for the 

 purpose of proving that cui'rent science and revelation are in accord, but 

 to examine science generally, and more especially any theories which are 

 alleged to contradict Revelation. 



Tliere are too many who seek to make every passing phase of scientific 

 research and enquiry scjuare Avith Revelation, and are alarmed if they are 

 unsucces.sful, ignoring the fact that science is always advaucin.o-, and 

 therefore must ever be changing its a.sj)ects ; and again, that mistakes 

 may be made in the interpretation of the words of Revelation.
