98 MISSIONS EMPHASIS WEEK This year the National Home Missions Fellowship provided the program for Missions Emphasis Week and held their annual Convention here at the same time. Displays from mission boards were set up all around the auditorium. The NHMF conducted workshops for the students on such topics as photography, puppetry, and chalk drawings. “All things being equal, the Christian should always excel.’’ This is the philosophy of John DeBrine who was the main speaker of the week. This vibrant man talked to the audience in a straightforward manner showing his concern for them through his inspired preaching. He was therefore a much sought after guest speaker for society and dorm devotions that week. Rev. DeBrine made a tremendous inpact on the students, motivating many to re-examine the spiritual condition of their lives. Displays were presented by mission boards from all over the U.S. After every session Rev. DeBrine was willing to share his time with waiting students.
