READ AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MARCH 1ST, 1920. 1. Progress of the Institute. In presenting to the Members of the Victoria Institute the Fifty-first Annual Report, the Council desire to acknowledge the good hand of God in carrying the Institute through another year. They are thankful to note that with the cessation of hostilities and the subsequent signing of the peace treaty fresh interest in the work of the Institute has been aroused, as shown by increased attendances at the meetings. The work of reconstruction, however, is everywhere slow. The past year has been one of great unsettlement. The exaggerated hopes of a "new earth" held out by politicians, as the immediate results of peace, have not been realized. All now recognize that a permanent advance can only be realized by a united effort to economize and produce more on behalf of the community in general. We trust that this same spirit of united effort and concentrated interest may be found among the Members of the Institute. The high standard of the papers of previous years has been well maintained and the best thanks of the Council are due to those who at no small expense of time and trouble have thus contributed to the usefulness of the Institute. 2. Meetings. Nine ordinary meetings were held during the year 1919. The papers were "Christian Sanity.' By A. T. SCHOFIELD, Esq., M.D. ،، By Miss C. L.
