Scope and content
Decision was to hire the young German based on Bender’s recommendation; planned to have Guy F. Hershberger on the faculty; on Umble’s [surely John Umble’s] plans; hoped Bender could earn confidence of the church in Northern Indiana to the point Goshen could use him “in the Bible department full time”—said this “not for your discouragement but for your encouragement”; had worked “all I could” to get Kreider [Amos E. Kreider, surely] but not succeeded—he was “a fine man” but unable to “break with his crowd.”
