Oxford Group Has
Meeting Here
Saturday Evening
By DR. L. L. HENDREN
Dean of the University of Georgia
On Saturday evening an interest
ing meeting was held in the Georg
ian Hotel of members of the Oxford
Group Movement from Athens, At
lanta, Aiken S. C., and Abbeville,
S. C., and a number of Athens peo
pie interested to know something
of this movement which has been
growing so rapidly in this country
anti many foreign countries.
It was brought out at the meeting
that the Group is not a new re
ligious sect but a fellowship of men
srd women, largely active members
of many different church sects, who
have the religious conviction that
God gives personal guidance to a
richer way of life to those who sin
ccrely ask it and carry out the best
of their ability in their own individ
ual life those standards of absolute
honesty, purity, unselfishness and
love advocated by Christ.
The keynote of the meeting was
the idea that, in the present world
crisis, with wars and threats of wars
tending to destroy civilization, a
moral rearmament of all positive
'cress of the world through individ
mis whose private lives were given
'" p r to the highest standards of
"'hict is the only hope of
••renrss. It was brought out at the
'"cting that in this country and
" -y foreign countries, especially
n England end the English colon
's and in Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and Switzerland, many states
"rn and others of great influence
u international affairs have dedi
'?d their lives to this idea.
The local meeting was largely de
ted to personal testimony of a
mber of the Group as to how thf
oceptance of l\? simple principle
the Group had changed their
■ obits of view in life nd given
hem power to influence then
friends and acquaintances. Espec
ially impressive was the testimon
if a large group from Abbeville
(insisting of the manager and mam
unployees of a large textile mill In
ated in that town. This group ex
Gained how they had adjusted, up
n an amicable basis, many perplex
:ig problems as to the relations be
wren employers and employees
the mill.
Mr. Joe Guess of Watkinsvillr
presided at the meeting. At the re
quest of members of the Group Dr
L L. Hendren of the University of
Georgia made a few remarks wel
coming the meeting in Athens. Dr
Hendren stated that by close ob
ervation of the activities of the
Group, especially at meetings in Af
anta and at a large Group house
•>; rty in Aiken, he was convinced
hat it would be an asset to Athens!
or any community to have a large
number of its citizens with lives de
voted to the simple Group principles |
