will pro vide we must work to mtikc it a fad there are many enemh s without and within the church and mr nordlund emphasized the fact that the enemies within are the inor dangerous he urged that the christian church be an ardent und faithful to the task as are the communists who have more than 70 millions under their influence in europe and asia we should forget our petty differences and make the church of christ a liv ing vital influence in our com munity he said that there seem ed to be a jungle philosophy ram pant every man for himself and the devil take the hlndmost the true luad of the

ourselves- ana uik am i applying mysejf as dil igently to gods work as i do u my own interests what place has worship and sac rifice in our religious life fre quently the church is little more than a social club so interested in raising mdiey and social attain that the blessed art of giving is al most forgotten we must ask ourselves where do i stand in my relation to god through christ there is indeed great t raged in store when men turn their backs on god j we must openthe windows of our souls to god to receive his blessing through service to hm i have given my all for you are you not
