Church Column.

The topic for the Christian Endeav-
or prayer meeting for next Sunday is
The lndwelling Presence. Col. /. 2l-
20; Gal ?. 20. Leader. Dora Wat
kins.
This topic follows appropriately on
the one about the Lords Supper.
When we absorb Christ into our lives
as we absorb food into our bodies. as
we are taught to do in our last lesson.
He becomes an indwelling presence in
us. And that presence may become
so thoroughly part and parcel of
our being and SO large part OF it
that we shall be able to say with Paul
Il live. yet not !, but Christ liveth in
me- We may become one with
Christ to such an extent that His life
is our life; the Presence dwelling in
us becomes our very selves.
1t is mystery 10 MS how Christ
can dwell in rs but it is mystery
which should stimulate in us a strong
desire for spiritual knowledge; for on
the very face Of it we can see that
there is in it revelation of truth that
is beyond conception, sublime and
precious. One question that rises in
every mind is this: "How can live
that life of perfect trust in God?n
Many do not know The right answer or
the full answer. 1t is this: Christ
must live it in me. That is what He
became man for. As man to live
n life Of trust in God and so to show
to us how we ought to live. When He
had done that upon earth He went to
heaven that He might do more than
show us, might give us and live in us
that life Of trust. 1t is as we under
stand what the life of Christ is and
how il became ours that we shall be
prepared to desire and to ask of Him
that lie would live it Himself in us.
Someone says, | do indeed desire to
live the life of perfect trust; | desire
to let Christ live 1t in me. want to
come to the full assurance that Christ
will keep me in the land of victory
which is needfnl for that new natare
which lie could impart to you. Then
you will be in the path by which He
can lead YOU on to blessed experience
and possessions Of what lie can do
for you.
