Goes to New Passionate.

Rev. Henry F. Huse closed his pas
torate of seven years with the First
Baptist Church of this place with fare.
well sermon. last Sunday morning. and
will leave for Sprngvale, Me his new
field of labor, tomorrow (FridaY).
The REPORTER is moved at this time
to say some things commendatory of
Mr. Huse and we are sure that our
worGs do not exceed the bounds of
simple justice.
There have been too few such men in
this community and it is little praise
to say that his voice was always
heard in the advocacy of just principles
With him speech was but the precedent
of action. Having determined that a
given thing called for his support and
advocated 1t by public speech, he would
not rest until the things were done to
decide as to the justice of the matter.
Instances of Mr.. Huse's activity in THIS
respect are many. One of them was the
article in the town warrant, a few years
since, attributable in large degree to Mr.
Huse, upon which the voters of Skowhe-
gan decided by large majority to in
struct their selectmen to enforce the
prohibitory law. 1t was on Mr.. Huse's
initiation also that the town warrant of
article to instruct our legislative repre-.
sentative to strive for the passage of an
amendment to the present Australian
Ballot law, which should place the can
didates to be voted for In alphabetical
order, in the form known as the I'M ASA.
cbusetts Ballot" thus encouraging indie
pendent voting rather than offering en-
couragement to vote the ''straight tick
et," as does the present Maine ballot,
with the candidates of each party group
ed in 8 separate column. In these in.
stances and In others In which Mr. Huse
has been active, there may be a chance
for an honest difference of opinion, but
they illustrate the nature of the man, as
exhibited in his earnestness to get the
public to seriously consider things of
vital concern.
Mr.. Huse's efforts have not been con
fined to Skowhegan and the FIRST Bap
tist Parish. He has been active in
Christian EndeaVor work and within the
past year has been elected the president
of the State Christian Endeavor Associa-
ton. He has also been of great service
to the Maine Civic League and regular
contributor to the Civic League Record,
the monthly publication of that society.
We doubt not there are many ties to
bind Mr.. Huse to Skowhegan and If no
other were powerful enough to make
him frequent visitor, there is one that
we are certain is strong enough to bring
him to Somerset county at least once
each year; he is to retain the ownership
of his cottage at Pleasant Pond and he
and Mrs Huse will pass their vacations
there.
The REPORTER joins with tho great
proportion of this community in wishing
Mr.. Huse success in his new passionate
and 10 readiness to welcome him here
on his yearly visits or as much oftener
as circumstances may permit him to
come among us.

Boston, Dec. 4, 1906.

Alfred Farow, General Manager Of the
Committee on Publication for the Christian
Science Church today gave out the following
statements
"McClure's Magazine, in the December
issue, published picture which is repre-
sented as photograph Of Mrs. Eddy taken
in 1887. 1t is not picture of Mrs. Eddy,
but is likeness Of Mrs. Sarah & Cheyal-
lier, who formerly lived in Boston, and
who died in California two years ago. This
fact is inconteslibly established by the aifda-
Wit Of Mrs. Chevailliers son, which appears
in this article. We have IN our possession
the picture Of Mrs. Chevailler, which we
have Just received from her son and which is
an exact duplicate of the one used ly

"In connection with this portrait.
McClures publishes an editorial announce
ment of a story relating to the Rev. Mary
Baker &. Eddy, TIE Discoverer and Founder
Of Christian Science. 1t is stated that as a
result of a careful investigation their story is
probably 'as near absolute accuracy as his
tory ever gets Indeed the introduction in
question lays great stress upon the accuracy
of its supposed history. Again it is said:
Practically no assistance can be obtained
from Christian Scientists themselves that

custom, MeClures representative who APP
piled to Mrs, Eddy for an interview, was
