Finance. 514 The Council wish to ask the co-operation of the Members and Associates in procuring new adherents, as only by this means, apart from voluntary donations, can they be enabled to balance accounts. The expenses of printing are still heavy, though on the decrease. 10. The Langhorne Orchard Prize. The Langhorne Orchard Prize and Medal for 1925 was awarded to Professor George McCready Price, M.A., for his essay on "Revelation and Evolution: can they be Harmonized?" Separate copies of this essay may be had at one shilling each. In conclusion, the Council venture to hope that the Institute continues to fill a useful place in the general economy. In these days of unrest, important, almost revolutionary, conclusions are sometimes reached, before the issues at stake have been clearly defined, or the pros and cons weighed. It is good then, that a place should exist, where these questions can be dispassionately discussed and where assertion must be backed up with argument, and such a place is to be found, it is hoped, in the platform of the Victoria Institute. The Council earnestly invite the hearty effort of all Members and Associates in attending the meetings and in making the work of the Society known. Signed on behalf of the Council, JAMES W. THIRTLE, Chairman of Council. |
