HE third year of the Great War, which has told somewhat seriously upon the Learned Societies of our land, has naturally affected the Victoria Institute in respect of material resources. It cannot be said, however, that it has exerted a prejudicial influence upon the useful work and high standing of the organization.

At a glance it will be seen that, in point of contents and interest, the present volume of Transactions fully maintains the high standard attained in pre-'war years. The variety of the subjects brought before the Institute is very striking; and, quite naturally, to some extent they all have a bearing upon the great and fundamental religious issues which the War has impressed upon thoughtful minds.

Whether concerned with Science or Philosophy, With Religious Systems in general or Christian Principles in particular, the papers aim at such an exhibition of Truth as is calculated to fortify the minds of men and women in days when the follies of erroneous thought and the consequences of rash and immature action are sadly evident in the world.
