Excerpt from Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Britain, 1918, Vol. 50 Taken as a whole, the Essays included in this volume are valuable contributions to current thought and when, on occasion, criticism may seem to fall short of constructive purpose, or investigation to lack conclusive results, then it will be found that discussion has yielded fruit to the manifest enrichment of the Transactions as now published. It is much to be regretted that, owing to the peculiar difficulties that at present attend printing and book-production, it has been necessary to reduce the discussions to a minimum. Given at the end of the volume. See Statement by Lecture Secretary on p. 179. In anxious and changing times such as the present, many minds have been stirred to think of the supreme issues of life and while men are inquiring in regard to god and the revelation of His Will in Christ, there should be a great work for such an organisation as the Victoria Institute, whose members aim at placing before the world considered answers, not only to the questionings of thought, but also to the cavillings of unbelief.
