"For most of use in these times, and particularly jth reference to this occasion, 1 propose the thought of the church as 8 vital fellowship, a fellowship of men and women touched by divine appointment and finding joy and strength in their human association. That is what constitutes the church far more than any such incidental matters as the building or the service--a body of believers, who figuratively speaking, are the body of Christ, the continuing expression of his ideals and in SO far as Ina be. of his personality, "These are difficult days for manity-we are all but lost in the fog of war and suffering and economic and emotional unrest.

But Jesus said. on the solid rock of faith and love, of God's revelation and man's responsive devotion will I build my church, and nothing can prevail against it. Like a lighthouse on A. rock to guide a weary and perplexed mariner, the church must stand in these 1rying days, as a stable point of reference. lere is this church, observing particular high point in its history.

We rejoice. But even more we should determine to make it increasingly influential. For as we face the problems of the present and the future, we may know that nothing can hinder the prevailing power of the fellowship of those who want to be like Jegus in their hearts."
