It will be difficult to replace men of such eminence in 

 Church and State as some of the above. It will be re- 

 collected that Sir Richard Temple delivered the address 

 at the annual meeting of the Institute, the subject being, 

 " The Unity of Truth," in which he endeavoured to 

 vindicate the accuracy of various passages in Holy Scripture 

 which are often the subject of doubt or controversy, ending 

 with the words, " I recollect when I was standing by the 

 open grave of Darwin in Westminster Abbey, and the 

 solemn anthem was being sung, ' Blessed is he who getteth 

 knowledge.' That is the sum total of my address to you this 

 afternoon. Let us get that knowledge as Darwin got it ; 

 and the more we study, the more we enquire, the more we 

 know, the better shall we understand the words of Scripture 

 as the one thing on which we are to base all our happiness 

 on earth, and all our hopes in the life beyond the grave."
