CHRISTIAN CONVENTION
MEETINGS AT NGARUAWAHIA ADDRESSES BY VISITORS Well-attended meetings are being held in Ngaruawahia by the Interdenominational Committee, which is now incorporated as the Ngaruawahia Easter Camp, Incorporated. More than 20 confessed Christ as their saviour at the meeting addressed last evening by Mr. C. J. Rolls, dean of the New Zealand Bible Training Institute. It is expected there will be many offering for missionary service at the great meeting next Monday. The number of local visitors who crowded into the marquee swelled the number in the public meetings to 600. Four hundred are living in the camp and 50 are staying in the township. The women have acquired an ideal site on one side of the railway line and the men have hired the beautiful grounds of the Ngaruawahia Regatta Club. The townspeople welcome the convention, which is this year celebrating its 10th anniversary. The speakers who addressed meetings yesterday were the Rev. C. N. Lack, of the China Inland Mission, Dr. Northcote Deck, of the Solomon Islands Mission, and Mr. Rolls. The teaching is that of the Keswick Convention in England.
