Student Christian Movement

Student Christian Movement.

The Student Christian Movement is a fellowship of students who regard the Christian faith as challenging them to devote the whole of life to further-once of the Kingdom of God. The Movement will arrange circles in the College and Hostels for study of the life and character of Christ, seeking to catch the implications of His teaching in social, national, and racial affairs. Also periodical forum discussions will be held on to-day's problems. As Christians we have the onus' on us of finding how the individual can beat the present situation. On individual solution depends ultimate solution, for social progress is made by cell growth. Bourgeois individualism must give place to contributive living. We find Jesus Christ the best guide to this transformation of outlook, and seek to learn from Him the way to live, and, solving man's most pressing problem, to live together.

So far as books can supplement experience the Movement is served by the stock at the Bookroom at New Zealand Headquarters, Woodward Street; by the V.U.C. Branch Library, whose books are free to ail and include the periodicals of the British Student Christian Movement; and by the New Zealand magazine. "Open Windows."

Lastly, public attention is drawn to the fortunes of the three families to whom our rather ill-feathered wing offers some shelter. There is a box on the end of the letter rack in which to post any super-abundance of cash; also men's old clothes would be most acceptable.
