During the long vacation a series of weekly addresses was given before the Union by the Rev. T. H. Sprott, M. A. , upon "The Letters to the Seven Churches." He dealt with the letters in detail showing each in the light which modern research has shed upon the history and character of its recipients. The Union is indeed grateful to Mr. Sprott for this one of his many kindnesses.

Sunday February 14th was observed as the universal day of prayer. A meeting was held in St. John's Classroom and was well attended. Professor Picken gave an address on "The World's Need for Christian Students." The churches in and around Wellington were invited by circular to observe this day of prayer for the Christian Student movement.
