ARTHUR RENICH DAILEY. A.B., Th.M.:  This young brother and his wife 
have recently arrived in Colombia South America, to serve as 
Missionaries of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist 
Convention.  They are stationed at Barranquilla.  This is entirely a 
new field for Southern Baptists and their work is mainly pioneer.
	Young Dailey is the son of Rev. D. Arthur and Mrs. Amanda 
Renich Dailey of Owensboro, Ky.  His father is one of the outstanding 
pastors and the field worker of our Association.  The son was born in 
McVeigh, Kentucky, a mining camp in the mountains of the eastern part 
of this state, where his father was serving as a Missionary of the 
State Mission Board on June 14, 1916.  After attending grade and high 
school our brother entered Georgetown College in the fall of 1934.  
He transferred to Carson Newman College, Jefferson City, Tennessee, 
the following year and received the A.B. degree from that institution 
in 1938.  He then wanted to stay out of school for a while and earn 
enough money to go on to the Seminary in Louisville.  His father 
generously insisted that he go on and assured him that together they 
would make the financial pull.  After extending his seminary course 
by one year to give extra time to his pastorates he received the 
Master of Theology degree from that institution in May, 1942.  The 
appointment as a Missionary came in the month of April previous to 
his graduation.
	At the age of nine our brother gave his heart to Christ under 
the preaching of the sainted J. B. DeGarmo and was baptized into the 
fellowship of the Whitesville Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. 
Arthur Holland.  He felt called of the Lord to preach the Word while 
in high school.  These impressions grew as the years went by and in 
the summer of 1935 he was licensed to preach by the Third Baptist 
Church of Owensboro, Kentucky.  This same Church ordained him to the 
ministry on June 2, 1939, with Revs. D. Arthur Dailey, his father, R. 
E. Humphreys, W. S. Coakley, A. F. Cagle, W. W. Harvey, Arthur 
Holland, W. G. Potts, R. E. Lee, and J. J. Willett serving as the 
council.
	While in the Seminary he served the following Churches: New 
Panther Creek, Ohio County, May, 1938, to May, 1940 ; Old Buck Creek, 
McLean County, June, 1939, to December, 1940; Little Pigeon, Spencer 
County, Indiana, January, 1940, to March, 1942, Mt. Carmel, Ohio 
County, from March, 1941, to March, 1912.
	The deep spiritual atmosphere, among both students and faculty, 
at Carson-Newman College, had a very definite bearing on the decision 
of our brother to become a foreign missionary.  The realization of 
the call came with the appointment to South America, in April, 1942.  
Realizing that it was not good that man should be alone our brother 
married the attractive and talented Miss Clotilde Dorothy Elam, 
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Elam, of Lexington, Kentucky, on 
April 29, 1942.  The ceremony was performed in the Immanual Baptist 
Church by the groom's father, assisted by Rev. James T. McNew, the 
pastor.  Mrs. Dailey became a Christian at the age of nine and 
dedicated her life to the service of Christ at the age of 16.  She 
graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1935 with the A.B. 
degree.  After teaching school for three years at Sayre school she 
finally entered the W. M. U. Training School in Louisville from which 
she graduated with the degree of M.R.E. in the spring of 1941.  The 
call of the mission field came to her also and plans for marriage and 
work in the mission field culminated in April, 1942.  After making 
necessary preparation to leave in the following June by plane from 
Miami, Florida, the government suddenly requisitioned their seats for 
other necessary travel, and it was not until about August that this 
young couple finally arrived at their new field of labor.  We predict 
a lifetime of service for this young couple in this new mission field 
and earnestly pray that it may be filled with success for the cause 
of Christ.  Daviess-McLean Association is grateful to the Lord for 
calling one of our number to this work.  Our interest in all 
missionary enterprises should certainly grow.
