Two Addresses delivered before THE VICTORIA INSTITUTE 

 IN THE Small Hall, the Central Hall, Westminster, S.W.,

The Rev. J. H. Bateson, Secretary of the Wesleyan Army and

Statement by the Lecture Secretary. 



It has fallen to my lot, as Lecture Secretary of the Victoria 

 Institute, to carry through the arrangements for the two meetings 

 to be held here to-day and this day week, and the Council desire 

 me to explain how these meetings, which do not lie within its ordinary 

 programme, have come about. 



The objects of the Victoria Institute, which was founded in 1865, 

 are twofold : First, to investigate in a reverent spirit important 

 questions of Philosophy and Science, especially those bearing upon 

 Holy Scripture ; Second, to arrange for addresses from men who 

 have themselves contributed to progress in Science and Research, 

 and thus to bring the Institute into direct touch with the latest 

 advances in both. And the principle upon which these objects 

 are. to be sought is that of humble faith in One Eternal God Who 

 created all things good. Accordingly, the papers read before it 

 and published by it are of two kinds : original contributions to 

 knowledge and essays upon important questions of philosophy and 

 science.
