pwu'dmt'd WW We are now living in a changing world where the traveling time between distant points hos shortened from days and weeks to c: matter of a few hours. With great interest we have watched this travel transition in our lifetime. With like interest we watch the fledgling student arriveot North Central Bible Insti- tute. He has felt the great urge of the beyond, eto prepare to fly. The trip to North Central Bible Institute may be his first trip from home. Moses aptly describes the divine purpose and care which we experience: As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth ov- er her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, toketh them, beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone did lead him. How well I rememeber when the Lord stirred up my home nest, taught me to fly for myslf, and then I tried my wings alone. An eagle does not learn flight by sitting still in the nest. The mother eagle knowing this kicks and roughly pushes out the young bird. While Viirst trying its wings and learning to fly, it will find the great wings of its mother underneath if it falls or grows tired. Our God will do no less for us while we are learn- ing flights of faith and growing strong in the Lord. The training of thousands of aviators for the present conflict has required the expenditure of millions of dollars and the in- vestment of other billions in equipment. But every day, from the various flying schools in the United States, there are grad- uates who have earned their wings, and now are ready to make flights miles across the earth. We read of them in combat having completed a certain number of Missions. Our graduates must also find their wings, and must also complete c1 certain number of Missions but of CI different na- ture. They will not be for destruction, but for the saving of souls, and the ceiling is unlimited when it comes to faith and Vision. We have great faith thot God will use them and bless them in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Great planes and established air routes will fly them to the ends of the earth. What a joy it will be at last to report to our Lord and Saviour, Mission com- pleted, and hear His words, Well done, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
