mission, olio /411 FOR GLOBAL Aral Starting Off Right Quarter Conferences: Fall Who's that giant on the platform? Looks like he could be a Roman cen- turion caught in a time warp. Speak- ing with a rate like a machine gun, Dave Breese expounded upon the sig- nificance of a single individual who is determined to do nothing but the will of God and who is determined to be a pillar of Christian wisdom. Winter "Preparing for Global Action" was the central focus of the winter quar- ter's missionary conference. Roy Watkins encouraged us to consider missions with the thought that the need is great and so are the rewards. Bill Smallman, in his message to "the rest of us at home," said that our commitment to Christ should be evi- dent in everything we do, even if we are not called to a foreign field. Dan Gelatt, with his enthusiasm in mes- sage and song, called for us to use every opportunity to further the cause of Christ.
