He called on all to have honourable motives in whatever they do and also cautioned leavers to be wary of people promising goodies. \u201cSelfishness, Authority and Power deprive us of the unity that Christ prayed for His followers\u201d he posited. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The Service which marked the last Family Service for the 2015\/2016 academic year was heavily attended by both senior and junior members of the University.
