Student Christian Union

All students are seekers, and the search is made interesting because of the fellowship that we find on the way. As one looks back over the past half-year, glimpses of camps dart through the mind—of windy rambles, icy-cold bathes, of heart to heart talks round the camp-fire, and of the joy of community of thought that study circles give—truly joyous times.

We have held three week-end camps during the last few months—a combined one at Hutt Park in July, with Doris Gavin, our secretary from India; another was a women's camp at Plimmerton with Lil. Sewell, our travelling secretary; the third was a men's camp at Haywards.

Circles at College have studied racial conditions from Oldham's "Christianity and the Race Problem,' and discussed some of the problems arising there-from. In other circles, "The Kingdom of God," and Hodgkin's "Way of Jesus," were taken. The circles have been well attended and greatly enjoyed. We are provided with matter for more genial rading by the S.C.M. library, which has its home in the S.C.M. room.

The "Universal Day of Prayer for Students" was held at St. Andrew's Church, the service being preceded by a tea at which Mr. Greenberg spoke.

One of the liveliest evenings of the year was a soiree held at V.U.C. during the vacation, where games and items were varied with supper and folk-dancing. From the difficulty experienced in dispanding the guests at the end of the evening, we gather that their enjoyment was genuine.

All look forward eagerly to the Summer conference to be held this year at Cambridge. This is the jolliest time of all, and we hope for a large delegation from V.U.C. We take this opportunity of extending to all students a hearty invitation to Cambridge.

"It is useless to put your heads together,

If you cannot put your hearts together."
