Miss Isabel Bussick of Lewistown was a recent visitor here with her mother, Mrs. Bessie one considers the little company of Christians, in a small province of the vast Roman Empire, daring to think of making their faith and experience world -wide, the spiritual dnring of it is amazing. is no wonder if many have failed to cstch the vision.

Missionary vision and passion have after all been manifested by only a minority of those who profess the Christian way. But what a minority! And how wonderfully those who have gone to the remote parts of the world, telling the story of Christ and of the love of God, have been vindicated in recent years Soldiers in the jungles of Pacific islands, forced down from the air or cast upon the shore, have found succor and safety through friendly natives whose hearts had been touched and whose ways had been changed by the missionaries. Yet prejudices die hard, and the world view of Christianity, and the world fellowship of Christian faith, life and service has had to overcome great obstacles. In Acts 10 is the story of fhe overcoming of Peter's stubborn prejudice, in his notion )L iat the blessings of the new. found Christ were for Jews only, ar for those who accepted Jewish vite's and practices.

The test time came when Cornelius, a Roman centurion, sent to him seeking light and guidance. the messengers fron, Cornelius were on their way, Peter had a dream. In his hunger he saw a great sheet let down from heaven, with beasts and fowl, and a voice said to him, "Rise, Peter, slay and eat." "Not so," said Peter, "for 1 have never eaten anything common or unclean." Then what Peter recognized in the dream as the Loi'd's voice said, "What God hsth cleansed, that call not thou common." While Peter meditated upon the dream, the three messengers from Cornelius arrived and Peter went with them next day to He stated his Jewish inhibitions frankly, but told how God had rebuked him, and shown him that he must not call any man common or unclean. That day Peter got a vision of Christ for all humanity. Would that all Christians should get such a dream! 5 AIR FORCES IN SINGLE COMMAND Tokyo.
