The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1912

Meetings

Meetings.

At the end of last year, Dr. Karl Kumm addressed a large meeting of students, his subject being the present conditions existing in Africa, and the future possibilities there. He gave a vivid picture of the struggle of the Central-plateau tribes to withstand Mohammedanism.

The first general meeting for the year was held on April 13th. Mr. Haslett, travelling secretary of the A.S.C.U., gave an address on "The Student Movement." Professor Picken occupied the chair.

The meeting held on April 27th was addressed by the Rev. Gibson Smith on the subject of "Faith." He pointed out that faith is fundamental to human intercourse.

On May 11th the Rev. Johnson delivered an address on "Early Church History." He traced the history of the Church from its beginning as a weak and despised body to the time of its official recognition by the Roman Empire. He also sketched the lives of some of the outstanding Christians of this period, and gave an account of early Church doctrines and heresies.
