By Xkk Comfort i
PEOPLE ARE' inclined to overlook i
the Importance of the thing that Is !
j near them It la ' a well known fact
J that natives who live near the great
wonders of the world frequently don’t
tnke the trouble toVvisit them j
Par example I knew a maa who
had lived all his life within ten
miles of Mammontb Cave Ken-
tucky a ad had frequently been by It
lint had sever taken the troahie to
go thro It I had n roommate in
college who was broaght ap within

JESUS ILLUSTRATED this prin-
ciple in the human realm by eeylng
that "a prophet la not without honor
save in hie own country The reason
that I call attention to this juet now
is that I am afraid there are many
people in our university community j
who are not aware of what is taking)
place ammig im"beginnng 'toda7nd
running through Friday
' During this period we university
people have the greatest opportunity
that has ever been offered us to do
some hard thinking about religion
We have with us a group of 10 men
and women who are presenting reli-
gion from as many angles These visi-
tors know the world Among them
a Nobel prise winner world travelers
scientists theologians philosophers
dramatists writers preachers teach-
ers and administrators who have won
distinction in their particular fields
SOME OF THEM are specialist
In religion la the southwest while
others la theory aad la practice
know religion la Europe Asia and
America Far ha it firom me to hold
oar visitors ap as small gods sad
goddesses who come among ns to
give as the final word on any sub-
fret but I do want to emphasise
every way I know how that they are
well trained broad experienced men
and women who will bring as face
to face with oar own ladiTidual
community and world problems
i
tow wnnn'ha ih
THEY WOULD be the last people
In the world who would want us toj
agree with all that they say Each!
one will gladly admit his own per-(
aonal limitation and he just as well
for It'S a certainty that we will dls-
cover them ere he takes his depart i
ure For the challenges that these
visitors bring to us cannot be ignored
The benefit that we shall derive from
their visit will he determined by our
reaction to the challenges that they t Hat district of the IMA on "ndig-
