Miller was primarily a churchman. He had just come from 25 years as pastor of the Old Cambridge Baptist Church--with a congregation made up primarily of laborers, social workers, and students. "I love this Church more than anything else in the world," he once told a friend...
There is considerable missionary enthusiasm in the country. A Baptist mission settled in the hills above Port-au-Prince 20 years ago, and the Episcopal church now counts more than 30,000 Haitians among its members.

A onetime Baptist minister, Martin quit the pulpit in 1933 to work at General Motors, where he helped organize employees and became head of the fledgling union in 1936 when it bolted the A.F.L. to join the more militant C.I.O. After three years, during which union membership grew from 27,000 to 149,000, he lost out in an intra-union power struggle with the Reuther brothers and eventually left the labor movement...
