Student Christian Movement

Early in the first term the Rev. H. D. Newell gave an opening address for our 1933 programme. About the same time we held a week-end camp at Chilton House, Island Bay, where during the year we have held two more camps. We also ran a dance early in the first term, at which Professor Gould welcomed Freshers and spoke of the Student Christian Movement.

In the second term we were intending to invite some outside speaker to give a series of three addresses, but decided later to conduct these meetings ourselves. As a result, three meetings were arranged, at each of which three students spoke. The subjects for the three nights were "What think ye of Christ," "Christ and this Society," and "What Christ offers the Student," and discussion followed the addresses.

This year study circles were arranged, two at Varsity, and one in Weir House. Several students also attended one conducted by Mr. Newell at the Terrace Congregational Church. Prayer groups are held by-weekly,

The Day of Prayer services were held as usual-Communion Service at 10 a.m. and a Tea and Address at 5 p.m. In the Church Service at 7 p.m. students assisted. Mr. Boulton-Smith was the preacher, the Day of Prayer being held at the Vivian Street Baptist Church.

The Second Hand Bookstall was again run by us, and this is proving a very useful institution.

Another feature of our work is Poor Relief. Several families have been helped considerably by students. There is a box in the Hall where subscriptions may be placed. Information regarding this work may be obtained from either Miss K. Hoby or Mr. T, Price, the Trustees of the Poor Fund.

Our 1933 programme will conclude with a Weekend Camp after degree examinations, and it is hoped that more students will be able to come than have attended the last two camps. Everyone will be welcomed.
