What E.U. Believes

During the first week of term, E.U. (Evangelical Union) arranged four special meetings for two visitors to New Zealand who lately spoke at the I.V.F. (Inter-Varsity Fellowship) Conference.

Dr. Norton Sterrett, an American from Madras University, spoke on the working of the Holy Spirit in Christian life. He dealt fully with some apparent contradictions in the Bible as to whether we should submit our lives to the direction of the Holy Spirit or strive to live as Christians by our own willpower. It became clear that the truth docs not lie between the two but rather in both of them.

The other speaker. Rev. D. W. B. Robinson of More Theological College. Sydney, gave three addresses. His first was on "The Inspiration and Infallibility of Scripture." The Bible is a sure guide," he said. "It brings us to a knowledge of God." Whether some historical facts of the Old Testament are verified or not by modem historigraphy is really irrelevant, as those facts do not affect the vital message and purpose of the Bible—the saving of our souls. Rev. Robinson also spoke on "What We Believe about the Gospel"—closely linked in many ways with his first address.

In his final talk he spoke on the activity of the Holy Spirit with particular reference to his work in regeneration.

Throughout this series, the practical importance of the various doctrines discussed was emphasised, and when E.U. resumed its Friday night meetings this emphasis was continued.

On Friday, 7th June, Miss Ruth Moses. I.V.F. travelling secretary, spoke on 'The Christian in the University". On Friday, 14th June, Rev. Ian Bourke will speak on the "Christian in his Church", and on Friday, 21st June, Rev. Don Wilson on 'The Christian in his Home". The final meeting of the month will be on Friday 28th. when Mr. Arthur Skeels of the Orient Missionary Society who has just returned from Korea. Formosa. Japan, and Hong Kong will speak on 'The Far East". A warm invitation is extended to all students to attend these meetings.—J.N.
