Fred Mitchell was the Home Director for the China Inland Mission. The following is taken from a talk he gave at a Keswick convention. It is included in his biography by Phyllis Thompson, Climbing on Track:
"Feeling acutely the difference between the life in the church on Sunday and the life in the world on Monday, the truth suddenly laid hold of heart and mind, and life has never been the same since.
"I saw that 'Christ was in me'; that He was not only my Saviour dying for me on the Cross, and my Lord risen from the tomb, but He was my Life dwelling in my heart, and that this was true just then in a smoky railway station, and everywhere else.
"It dawned upon me that Christ was in me then as I walked down the platform and afterwards down the street; it was true as I arrived at my place of business and began the work of the day.
"In short, wherever I was, He was there, in me as my Life. Whatever my need was, He was living within to meet it; whatever my temptation, He was there to defeat it.
"That was how I discovered how 'He saved His people--and me as one of them--from their sins.'"
