Resigned,1900; to become pastor of the Baptist Church at. o X Mason City, la. In September, 1900, accepted thepastorate of Forest Avenue Baptist Church, DesMoines, la.; also professorship of Mental Scienceand History, Des Moines College, Des Moines, la. We have seven living children, one oldest son, Harold, is a junior in Des MoinesCollege; a daughter, Eleanor, and a son, James,are in the freshman class; another son, Arthur, isin the Academy.
