If African Methodism is to survive l* and enter into the Post-war world " it is going to be because it has j ; the forethought to elect loyal men "(who cannot be bought by"*'shek*? | els" or popularity. L. H. Hem' I mingway is loyal! ly ; ^ I To best get a view of the HONi RSTY imbedded deeply In t"h e ? character of our subject, L. H. ? -ITemmingway,?-one?must needs journey to that home of bishopric j timber, South Carolina. Many and varied are the stories: told of his M honestv WViiln 1 s> i " ' " jjoovuiiiis ?i'w j! j fighting his way up in the ranks. , j There's that one about How? n while pastoring 35 members?he remodeled the church, inside and .] - j out, staging rallies and ....drives ^ , i which never quite reached the t bills. He raffled candy which fint j ally paid for the church and was c | the foundation of a family busin ness which educated all the lit tie Hemmingways and not only 1 that, but began a career of beautification of churches all over ' < South"Carolina" wherever assigned by honestly dividing prosperity with the Church. It continues to t | this day, reaching out in scholar ships and donations (a<? much as . $500.00 per) to church, schools i and colleges. HARMONIOUS to a fault, is , L. H'. Hemmingway. stopping the expression of some noble thought f or in the midst of relating some n memorable experience for a "merganser" who has no manners hut - calls himself a "big preacher," To , ask for the "biskets" (and he didn't say please). Willing al- fc ways to detour for a friend, even " though it means much inconven. fence. Sometimes taking a tongue lashing from "above"1," (if you get what 1 mean), careful always r I to put sway those words which _ | would break harmony. ECCLESIASTICAL habits, cus1 toms, attir? and demeanor are deeply implanted in the deport[ ment and carriage of L. H. Hem* mingway. Does not smoke, chew - er drink, not even to keep from i being a "ill-joy or wall flower." No boisterious, loud uncouth brag ging, no severe clerical attire, i"! leaning hoavily towards Catholi, I cism. No robes, sm nlifps m- "Koi 1 i derdash" which, in fact, are n o [ mysticism or ritualistic "pompom j ity," just plain Wtsleyan Meth, [ odism of the Allen sort.
