LEADER IN INDIA

CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISE REV. C. F. ANDREWS' VISIT MANY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS An extensive programme of public engagements will be carried out during a Jirief stay in Auckland by the Rev. Charles Freer Andrews, noted leader of Christian enterprise in India, religious mystic and author, who will arrive by the Tamaroa on Thursday. Mr. Andrews, who will be making his third visit to New Zealand, is on a tour under the auspices of the World Student Christian Federation. He will leave Auckland on May 2 for Fiji, one of the many parts of the world he has previously visited in the interests of Indian communities, and will later make a more lengthy tour of New Zealand and Australia. He has recently been lecturing at Cambridge University.

During his visit to Auckland, Mr. Andrews will stay with Dr. Alexander Hodge, who is a personal friend. On Thursday night he will meet a number of friends, and the following afternoon he will give an address at the Training College. That evening ho will speak at a combined meeting of Trinity College and Baptist College students. He will preach at the Baptist Tabernacle next Sunday morning, and will attend a student gathering and tea at the University College in the afternoon. In the evening he will preach at St. Mary's Cathedral. Mr. Andrews will address a meeting of ministers on April 27 under the auspices of the Council of Christian Congregations and the Ministers' Association, and the following evening he will speak at a public meeting at St. David's Church organised by the Council of Christian Congregations.

There is a possibility of Mr. Andrews visiting Hamilton on April 29, and on April 30 he will attend an interdenominational Youth Council meeting at the Y.M.C.A. His engagements will be concluded with an address at a Student Christian Movement meeting at the Training College on May 1. It is likely that he will speak at other meetings if time permits, and arrangements may also be made for him to broadcast. Among the topics he will speak on in his lectures will be "India and Britain—a Moral Challenge," the subject of his most recent book, and "Christ and Prayer," which he dealt with in his Cambridge lectures.
