loved the sanctuary and delighted in sup.
porting it's services. He attended regu

long after it became great physical ef-
fort to climb the hill from his shop to the
church. 1t was constant and growing
pleasure to him to see the game of life, >"
as he used to put it. He read widely TO
know how 6 I'd had ruled and still ruled
the universe. In his search tor the Mas
ter hand that ruled he became very con-
versant with history and events. Mr..
Huse had large circle OF friends. All
loved him from the least even unto the
greatest. To know him was but to love
him. He loved his tellowmen, he loved
the chu, CHI, be loved God, and he realized
he was in the end to be in the hands o. a
just God. The iunerai services were held
from the Congreg Ational church, his pas
tor, Rev. E. E. Grant, officiating, and in
terment was at Grove cemetery. At the
grave the choir of the East Village church
sang at his request, "Oh could l speak
the matchless WORTH" Sympathy is ex-
tended to his friends and to those OF his
family who were not permitted to be
