The message Of the evening, "Abid-
ing in Christ was delivered with
spiritual power by Prof Adolph Olson
Of st. Paul and found responsive
chord in the audience which filled the
auditorium of the church. Abiding
in Christ is mysterious union. just
as mysterious, but just as biblical as
the incarnation of Christ. To abide
in Christ, nor is not the same as having
great spiritual experiences. It means
to live in complete harmony with God.
1t is possible, humanity speaking, to
abide in Christ, by striving and work
ing therefore We must also be will
ing to pay the price, cost what it may.
We must pray and read the Bible. 1t
is possible, from the divine side be-
cause we are kept by God. 1t is
blessed to abide in Christ because
there is then no condemnation, the
tyranny. the power Of sin is broken.
He is our Strength in our work and
life. Those who lose their grip On the
crucified Christ, no matter how edu-
Gated or successful in the eyes of the
world, are of all men most miserable.
Those who abide in Christ have init
mate fellowship with Him, and their
best days lie before them.
