RELIGION AND LIFE
METHODIST EXPERIMENT An attempt to portray the relevance of Christianity to the needs of society is the aim of the Religion and Life Movement, which was inaugurated at the Methodist Central Mission on Sunday night. People from all walks of life will address the congregation each Sunday night with the object of showing that Christianity can be practised in the professions, the business world, the factory and the workshop, as well as in the home. The first speakers gave their addresses last night. They were the matron of the Public Hospital, Miss D. Brown, and Mr G. Roberts, radio announcer. Miss Brown traced the history of the nursing profession, which, she said, had been built on the foundation of the early Christian orders. Mr Roberts said that the character of a nation was the mirror of its citizens and that no one could serve the State without first meeting the claim of God in himself. A doctor and an employee at the Hillside Workshops will be next speakers in the series.
