WITNESSES UNTO ME

"Crusaders" is a modern Christian youth movement which operates in
Secondary Schools. Meetings are held in a classroom in the lunch hour.
During the year (combined! meetings were held by three Emmaus Bible
College students, the Gospel Chords, and the Rev. J. R. Roper. At the beginning
of the year the boys' group was without a counsellor, and Messrs. Irvine, Farley,
Beuttel and Tidy were prepared to address the group. We are grateful for their
encouragement and devotion to teaching the Bible in these meetings.
Many of the boys have benefited from the now popular activity of discussion
groups We now have a Crusader counsellor, who has given his time in making
our meetings successful. Thanks go to Mr. Andresen for this interest in a group
of boys who are willing to learn about vital things. We are also grateful to our
counsellor for his recordings of readings from the New English version of St. John.
Film strips are a new activity in the group and have been included in each
term's syllabus. Studies this year were centred around the Acts of the Apostles
and St. Luke. We believe that each boy has gained training morally and spiritually
in the meetings.
A number of boys participated in the Crusader sports in September, and
Arthur Clark won the pennant for the best under 15 boy.
Our grateful thanks go to Mr. Cafferky and Mr. Proctor for their interest
in both Crusader groups.

GIRLS' CRUSADER NOTES
"Fight the good fight of faith" (I Tim. 6 : 12).
As soldiers of the Army of the Lord and Ambassadors for Christ we are
commissioned to fight against the enemy wherever we may be. At school we are
endeavouring to serve Christ through the Crusader Movement.
Each Tuesday lunch hour we have a Bible study, to which all girls are
invited. We are grateful to Mrs. Robertson, who has spoken to us of the Way
of Life from the Bible, and to Mr. Cafferky for the keen interest he has taken
in our activities.
On occasions we have combined with the boys for meetings, when the
leaders were a group from Emmaus College, Christian Chords and the Rev. Roper.
Our activities provide opportunity to meet friends from other schools. We
were unsuccessful in this year's Swimming Carnival and lost the athletics cup at
the annual meeting. Elizabeth Gibbs, however, took the pennant for the best
under 16 girl at the Carnival.
Camps are another feature of Crusaders. Giris attended camps at Noosa and
the Blue Mountains. Even if you are not a Crusader you can not afford to miss
the fun of camp-life. Three girls attended a Science Week-end at Southport.
At the end of another year may each say : "I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Tim. 4 : 7.
