The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1913

Pre-Sessional Work

Pre-Sessional Work.

The bi-ennial Business Convention of the A.S.C.M. was held this year at Rangiora, New Zealand, at which a large number of Australian delegates were present.

This was immediately followed by the annual conference of the N.Z. Christian Movement, which was the largest yet held in New Zealand. The keynote of the Conference was "Discipleship."

Sunday, February 23rd, was observed as a day of universal prayer for students. A special service was held by Rev. Reed Glasson in the Terrace Congregational Church, followed by a student's intercession meeting, conducted by Professor Picken.

At the time of the Easter Tournament, two meetings for students were held, both on Easter Sunday. The first was held in connection with the Social Service League, and was addressed by Mr. Jamieson, Australasian Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The second took the form of a Students' Service, held at St. John's Church in the evening, and addressed by Rev. Dr. Gibb.

A pre-sessional conference of members was held at the College on April 1st, when short addresses were given by several members and ex-members of the Union, these addresses being followed by discussion upon the various topics introduced.
