The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, September 1926

Christian Union

Christian Union.

All the most interesting events of the year seem to have come in time for the previous issue of "Spike." We have had quite a full year, and I think we can claim at least a fair measure of success. Our meetings have not suffered for want of interesting addresses, and have been well attended. Our finance schemes have been successful in enabling us to reach our quota of £50. But all these things have been published in the Annual Report, and in the last "Spike." It seems that the Secretary is on the verge of falling into an "Ignoratio elenchi," as Aristole would put it.

However, there is one thing which has not yet been ventilated fully, and it is the most important event of the year, viz. Conference. Conference is to be held this year at Solway (only 64 miles from Wellington), from December 29th to January 4th. The cost will be only 30/-. The object of the Conference will be to study "The Challenge of Jesus Christ to the Modern Student." Arrangements have also been made for addresses by the best speakers, on subjects such as "Religion and Education," "The Problems of the Pacific," and "New Zealand and the Maori."The afternoons will be spent in recreation, and an all-day excursion has been arranged for the Saturday. We hope that as many students as possibly can will make sure of spending a really good holiday by Coming to Solway.
