Evangelical Union

Evangelical Union

The Evangelical Union entertained staff members and students at a welcome dinner to freshers on March 21 In the Little Theatre. Host and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. E. K, Braybrooke.

To those acquainted with the cooking facilities in the Little Theatre (there are none) the revolutionary aspect of these proceedings will be plain. The food was cooked in the Cafeteria and a marathon lift, human chain style, was organised by EU members to ensure that the food arrived in its proper state. It did.

The guest speaker was Mr. Lums-den recently arrived from Australia to take charge of evangelical work in New Zealand.

With particular reference to N.Z. students Mr. Lumsden debunked the fallacy that every novel step taken in adult life, without regard for Christian standards, necessarily leads to a widening or deepening of experience.

On the contrary, it might wither the capacity for Joy altogether and blunt the individual physically and mentally. He stressed the urgency of this problem for those who had not yet faced it and said that the light and power to solve it were to be found in Jesus Christ himself.
