Schalekamp sang Give Me Thy Heart and Herbert Van Wyk spoke on the Golden Rule. His use of Old Testament history enriched the discourse and pleased regular church members. The Captain of the Gospel Teams described the groups work and hinted at College Week of Prayer with Rev C P Dame as week speaker. It's too bad the joy-killer can't be sentenced for his crime.
