PREFACE. 



nnHIS Volume, XLIY, is larger by thirty-eight pages than its 

 immediate predecessor, chiefly owing to the length of the 

 discussions and written communications on the papers contri- 

 buted. Since October, 1911, thirteen new members and thirty- 

 two new associates have been elected. We may fairly take 

 these two facts as an index of the increasing interest taken in 

 the work of the Institute. 



The subjects dealt with in this Volume will be found to meet 

 the needs of the times in many respects : — Mrs. Lewis's, Colonel 

 Mackinlay's, and Professor Milhgan's will interest students of the 

 New Testament; Professor James Orr's, Mr. Tuckwell's and Arch- 

 deacon Potter's, students of the Old Testament ; Mr. Tod applies 

 ancient Greek History to present-day interest in Arbitration 

 Dr. L. von Gerdtell and the Bishop of Down throw oil on the 

 troubled waters of difficulty and doubt ; while Mr. Maunder, 

 Mr. Klein, and Professor Henslow lead their readers into higher 

 regions of Philosophy and Science. In the Annual Address, 

 Sir Andrew Wins^ate bases a thouohtful examination of current 

 life problems on the integrity of the Bible and its value as the 

 antidote to the spirit of Modern Unrest. 



The Institute is greatly indebted to the Authors for the time, 

 trouble, care, and thought given to their papers ; and to those 

 taking part in the discussions, for the additional light and 

 criticism brought to bear on the subjects examined.
