SIR ANDREW WINGATE, K.C.I.E.^ 



Higher Critics, that it scarcely requires the living voice to rout 

 them, because they have forgotten that Jacob and Joseph were 

 embalmed by Egyptians and any day a dead man's bones may 

 send them belter skelter. Also, that the bulk of the clergy do not 

 hold advanced views. Eleven-twelfths of the followers of Jesus- 

 remained staunch, but it was the kiss of Judas that brought the

 second the vote of thanks, so fehcitously proposed by General 

 Halhday, for a dehverance which, by nobihty of aim, by cogency 

 and simphcity of reasoning, has worthily maintained the high 

 traditions of this Society's Annual Addresses. 



The prevailing unrest is largely owing to a spirt of discontent and 

 lawlessness. To this, as pointed out in the address, various 

 secondary causes— among them the inflammatory harangues of 

 pohtical demagogues— have beyond doubt tended. But, as we are 

 reminded on p. 350, " these causes would not breed lawlessness '' 

 were it not for " the weakening of the faith of the masses in the
