Progress of the Institute. 66 The Council, in presenting to Members and Associates the 54th Annual Report, are thankful to God to be able to report encouraging work during the past year. The meetings have been well sustained, and some of the papers, besides their own intrinsic value, have provoked interesting and useful discussions. Special mention might be made of the paper by Dr. Schofield on Some Difficulties of Evolution," and that by Dr. J. O. F. Murray, Master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, on the "Resurrection of Our Lord." The paper on Modernism," read as the Annual Address by the Right Rev. J. E. C.
