Excerpt from Proceedings of the Southern Rhodesia Missionary Conference
The 1944 Conference met with the clouds of war still hanging over the world. As there were indications, however, that the terrible con?ict was nearing its end, the Conference had the courage to take as the general theme of its discussions Missionary Planning for the Future. There was a general feeling that it would not only be our duty but also our wonderful privilege as Missionaries to turn the faces of Europeans and Africans from the ruins of a shattered world to those things that abide, those that are worth living for. Once more, after a number of years, the gathering had the privilege of welcoming in their midst the Honourable the Prime Minister, Sir Godfrey Huggins, who had kindly consented to open the Conference. His sympathetic address in which he focussed attention on the sure and steady progress which was being made in the advance of the African, and the sympathetic attitude of the Government and the general public towards this advancement, was much appreciated.
