ator Frye is, however, potential factor
in foreign affairs, and he said: "It ap-
pears that Japan is attempting to coerce
the Hawaiian republic into receiving all
Of her emigrants, on the ground that the
refusal of Hawaii to receive Japanese
would be violation of treaty rights.
Our reciprocal relations with Hawaii

Rev. John ID. Nutting.

Nov JUN - 4FulttbEs
The Salt Lake City Herald Of Utah, il
its issue Of Jan. 1st, contains a lengthy
sketch OF Rev. John ID. Nutting, now pas
tor OF the Plymouth Congregational
church of that city. Mr.. Nutting was
born IN Randolph in 1854 and was edu-
Gated at the normal school. In 1871 be
removed to Illinois where he completed
his classical education. He took up news
paper and commercial work at first, but
later entered the ministry, having taken a
full course at Oberlin, Ohio, graduating
in 1885. He located at Wanscon, Ohio,
where he married his first wife, who lived
only one year thereafter. He then
accepted pastorates in Newport, Ken,
where he was again married, and at st.
Louis, Mo-, successfully. In 1892, he To-
Gated in Salt Lake City. Concerning his
work there the Herald says;-
plymouth church mad been organized
about n wear before, hut he close of the
'tboomn had removed all but -four OF its
members. II mad no building, only the
use of the little mission school building
on its present lot being given it. The
part OF the city where lt is located being
almost entirely settled by people OF the
Mormon faith, it was OF course a very
hard field from that as well as other
causes. The church has now a very neat
aud convenient building for all the
branches OF It's WORK, erected last year.
The membership has doubled several
times, and the work Is prosperous in
every Way, though yet quite small.H
Randolph is pleased with the success
that has rewarded one OF her sons, who is
well remembered as The grandson of Will
liam Nutting, the first principal OF the
Orange County Grammar school, and
nephew of Or. ID. II. Nutting, now resId
ing at the Center.
