this city, April 6. Through the courtesy
of the Samaritan Lodge, l. o. o. f., the
rooms in the Odd Fellows building will be

number of people present, it is expected,
and for that reason it was thought advis-
able to find place where more room

have two candidates in each degree
worked. 1t is probable that between 100

found time to spare for study and his
much loved church and mission work
The age of p found Mr.. Huse holding
a lucrative and responsible position.
and although special inducements were
made to him to continue in his position
he decided to follow his long cherished
desire to enter the ministry. With this
end in view he entered the st. Johns
bury academy at St. JohnSbury. VT.
from which he was graduated with
high honors two years later. The fol-
lowing fall Mr.. Huse entered Brown
University from which he was gradu-
ated with the class of 1896, having at
tanned the degree of A. 3. During the

among the highest in his class. he
found time to devote to athletic sports,
in which he is firm believer and also
to continue his missionary work in the

ately upon his graduation.
