ANNUAL REPORT. 



" The Genealogies of Our Lord in St. Matthew and St. Luke." By 

 Mrs. Agnes Smith Lewis, LL.D. St. Andrews, D.D. Heidel- 

 berg. 



" Natural Law and Miracle." By Dr. von Gerdtell. 



In four instances advantage was taken of the kindness of 

 The Koyal Society of Arts in lending their large theatre, and 

 twice the meetings were held in St. Martin's Vestry Hall by 

 the kindness of Prebendary Shelf ord, one of the Members of 

 the Institute. 



3. The Journal. 



The forty-tlnrd volume of the Institute's Transactions was 

 issued in October last, and contained the papers, discussions, 

 and communications of the year, December 1910 to June 1911. 

 The Council have endeavoured to carry on their investigations 

 strictly on the lines of the Institute, searching for actual philo- 

 sophic and scientific truth on all questions. The speculations of 

 philosophy and science vary from year to year, and are followed 

 as closely as possible. The Bible is the Great Source of Divine 

 Trutli, and so far as the Institute has been able by its work to 

 deepen this conviction, the Council desire to express their 

 thankfulness and to give God the glory. 



The Council have now printed a full and complete Index of 

 all the volumes (No. I, 1865, to No. XLIII, 1911), in which the 

 names of authors and the leading words in the titles of the 

 papers appear. The Council believe it will be of considerable 

 value to Members and Associates. Upwards of 100 have 

 already been taken.* This Index will practically remain 

 ^effective for two or three years.
