VICTORIA INSTITUTE. 



REPOKT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR 1916. 

 Read at the Annual General Meeting, February 19th, 1917. 



1. Progress of the Institute. 



In presenting to the Members of the Victoria Institute the 

 Forty-eighth Annual Report, the Council would place on record 

 their sense of thankfulness to Almighty God in that the Institute, 

 through all the difficulties and trials of another year of War, has 

 been enabled to carry on its work. The number of Meetings 

 held has been slightly diminished : eleven, instead of the usual 

 thirteen ; but these have been well attended, and there has 

 been no falling off in the interest displayed in the work of 

 the Institute, or in the subjects brought forward at its 

 Meetings.
