CHRISTIAN YOUTH WEEK
Within the next few days a new badge will be appearing in increasing numbers on the streets and in the homes of Now Zealand—not a badge of military service, but a simple paper badge with the device of a white cross outlined in red on a black background and bearing the slogan “Christus Victor” (Christ Victorious). It will be worn by young people and it will be the outward sign that the wearer is participating in the nation-wide Youth Week organised by the National Council of Churches as part of the current Campaign for Christian Order. Youth Week will run from Sunday, September 27, to Sunday, Octobor 4. "inclusive, and it will be the culmination of a great deal of planning and organisation by the various churches in the campaign, and particularly by their youth workers, vouth groups, and allied bodies. The purpose- of Youth Week is to bring home to the youth .of this country the nature of the challenge that confronts the whole Christian Church, and to develop the solidarity of Christian Youth in meeting it.
