"Wc~sbnv?seek to know what a man i* :nt?*rest?-d ' :n and elect him if his interest is in keeping with the progressive trends of our church I have in terviewed Dr. Hemingway repeatedly on some of his_vify.-s highest ranking progressive think ers?and planners in__mir church. 1 present here his views on one important phase of our church program; namely. MISSIONARY, Hfs Missionary Foresight Dr.?Hemingway?is deeply?truu. vifieed that there are vast.missionary .possibilities within our grasp which have not yet been touched. He believes, that a revamping of our missionary set-tin to ensure a united frontal attack on all missionary areas by our combined mis sionary resources will result in a doubling of. our church membership. , .He is passionately and inTelligently convinced ttnrt?Africa arjd Soutfr Amrica, if concentrated upon with vision and vigor and hard, v/prk, will "in a reasonable period of time produce amazing result^. He-ise^nvwced that ever, though the chu.rch will have to finance these fields for a while that these fields-carr and soon will hecome ninety per cent or more self ? - - supporting?financial provided _that they are.given proper RESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP. He believes that only courage and godly wisdom can make us tap these .foreign reservoirs with determination. WHetj, he is .elected bishop he .will give this matter foremost ., Dr. Hemingway's passion for the foreign mission fields does not take anything away from his pass ion for the home mission field. He has the facts to show that the home mission field offers just as ' great a possibility for church extension as our foreign mission fields, He is especially interested in mission preachers and mission churches. He believes that a vigorous home missionary program can work out a system which would make mission work a dnsivaMo work to which a man can five his ~#TioIe"devotiop and from which he can get adequate support. A man With such vision CANNOT be ovei looked in 1944. Our church needs such a man for such a time us this. Behold The Man! We have before us a man of ~ we <fo~ with him?
