14 THE BETHEL HERALD CLASS HISTORY By LILLIAN LIND Eric L. Danielson. This jolly young man was born July 25, 1S91 in N iike, Sweden. At nine years of age lie moved with his parents to the beautiful province of Varm-land, where he remained until eight years ago when he emigrated to America and settled at Winchester, Mass. He had attended school in Sweden, but wishing to better prepare himself for life’s duties he decided to enter Bethel, about which he had heard a great deal. In the fall of 1916 then, he started his work in Bethel, where he pursued his studies with great diligence, especially English . He looks with greatest favor upon the 'Lily of the Valley’. Francis Oscar Peterson. Kent City, Mich, became on May 3, 1S90 the birth-place of this great theologian. He finished the grades at Kent City and then went to Grand Rapids, Mich, where he attended business college. He then worked for two years as billing clerk at Grand Rapids. Meanwhile, having heard of the healthful climate of Minnesota, he came here in 1913 to regain his health. He entered the Northwestern Bible School of Minneapolis in 1914, graduating in 1917. During this time he had his first pastorate. With the intention of better fitting himself for his duties as pastor, he entered Bethel Academy in the fall of 1917. From his own work and experience he has chosen this motto: Never run away from troubles. Theology is his favorite subject. Hildegarde Hillerstedt.

Later, feeling called by the Lord to serve as an ambassador for Him, he loft his home and his work, as did the disciples of old, to prepare for his life work. He came to Bethel in 1916. His motto: “Trust in God and keep the powder dry.” is well chosen and predicts for him sucess in his work. As a symbol in his life he has chosen purity impersonated in the ‘Lily,’ his favorite flower. He enjoys the study of English literature best. Huldah Truedson.
