Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 7, No. 7 July 26, 1944

S.C.M

S.C.M.

150 members and supporters congregated on June 25 at St. Andrew's Church for observance of the Students' Universal Day of Prayer. Opening devotions were taken by the V.U.C. Chaplain, Rev. Robert Thornley, and the address was given by the Rev. J. M. Bates, newly elected chairman of N.Z.S.C.M., who spoke on the World Christian Student Federation and the Christian life.

After a friendly chat we visited 2YA studio to listen to the final play in the series "The Man Born to be King."

Tea was served in St. Andrew's Hall and was followed by an address by Miss Jean Campbell on the Wooster Youth Conference, emphasising our advantages over those who live in occupied countries and are unable to hold such gatherings.

The evening service was conducted by the Rev. Brian Kilroy, who mentioned that today students the world over were uniting in prayer and communion, a tie which binds man to man in Christian fellowship.

Mr. Howard Wadman was guest speaker at an evening gathering on July 22. He spoke on Personality and Community Living, pointing out that religion arises out of the universal problem of human relationships. Its function is to discover and create satisfactory conditions between finite man and infinite personality as exemplified by Jesus Christ and this is the only possible basis for a true community. The centre of our interests must be transferred from ourselves to God and with right relationship with the Divine will we can restore human personality to its rightful place in our community.
