An Oxford College Principal
|
DR. GRIFFITH E.
THOMAS, Principal of Wycliffe
Hall, Oxford; and Professor of Apologetics in
Wycliffe College, Toronto.
At a Conference in America, Dr. Griffith Thomas gave
an account of his
conversion at seventeen, but
explained
that for about eighteen months he had an up and down
experience, bringing a sense of failure. Then he was led
to cast himself on God, and to cry
for a fuller experience.
Speedily two texts were specially impressed on his mind:
"yield yourselves unto God" and "abide in [H]im."
He felt that he was to present himself again to God,
as if he had never done it; and then to "Stay where you
are." The two words "yield" and
"abide" were blessed
to his soul; he realised what
Christ can be in the
believer's
life; and thirty-eight years after the two words were still
with him.
Dr. GRIFFITH THOMAS
occupied very important posts in
Oxford and Toronto; was the author of several important
books; took part in Keswick and many other conventions.
He was suddenly called to his Rest on 2nd June, 1924.
