REV G. L. FORTE.

Rev G.. l.. Forte was born of Cana
! dian parentage, in Three Rivers,
Mass, October p, 1876. Both his
| father and mother were converted
| from Catholicism when children by
| two of the first Protestant colporters
| who afterwards came to the United
| States to be pastors of churches and
| to continue in missionary work which
| they had SO we'll begun in Canada.
One Of these ministers, the Rev JOS

| French church in TOrrington, Conn. !;
the other, Rev T. G. A. Cote, had for
many years the paStOrate of French
church in Lowell, besides the position
Of Generai Secretary Of the French
churches in New England. Mr. Forte
obtained his early training in the
| schools of his native town, entering
the Palmer High school in 1892, but
| leaving in the first term of his senior
years to finish his course in the High
school in Springfield, Mass, in 1896.
In 1898, he entered the French Amer
lean college located in Springfield and
was graduated in 1902. That same
fall he entered the Hartford Theologi-
Cal Seminary, where in 1905 he COM
pIeted the prescribed course of three
years. Mr. Forte, like many college
men of to-day, has been on his own re-
sources since leaving the High school:
and like many Of these practical young
men, has had an all-rOund training in
the world Of both the unSkilled and

at work in the various departments OF
the same factory in the dye-house,
baaming and tniShng-rOomS, in the

and telegrdphy. Before he entered
college, he was for nearly year, d
