ON MODERN UNEEST AND THE BIBLE. 



The resolution was put to the meeting and carried with acclama- 

 tion. 



Sir Andrew Wingate briefly thanked the Chairman, the proposer 

 and seconder of the resolution and the meeting for their kind 

 reception of his address. 



The Chairman then called upon the Secretary to give a brief 

 account of the recent good progress of the Institute, a progress 

 which he gratefully acknowledged was mainly due to Mr. Bishop's 

 enthusiastic and successful efforts. 



The Secretary stated that during the twenty months he had been 

 in office 106 new members and associates had joined the Institute^ 

 nearly double the number who had been removed by death, or had 

 retired. He gave much of the credit of this to the Council and the 

 Assistant Secretary who had so wholeheartedly supported him in his 

 duties and made his work both easy and pleasant. The papers read 

 during the session had maintained if they had not surpassed the 

 standard of former years, the attendance at the meetings had been 

 uniformly large, and the interest in, and importance of the 

 discussions had been so great that a much larger amount of space in 

 the new volume would have to be allotted to them than for many 

 years past. He was sure this would be appreciated by readers of 

 the volume when it came into their hands. 



The Chairman then stated that the Session of 1911-12 was now 

 closed and that the new Session would open on December 9th next,, 

 with a paper by Dr. Whately on " Immortality."
