After attending the public school for seven terms of six months each, he attended one term of select school at New Oxford and one term of local Normal School at Abbotstown, Pa. In the fall of ' 94 he entered the Sub Fresh- man class of Stevens Hall Preparatory School at Gettysburg and in ' 95 and ' 96 was a Freshman in Pennsylvania Col- lege at the same place. Owing to illness, he was compelled to leave college soon after the opening of the spring term of ' 96, completing the work of his Freshman year under a private tutor during the ensuing summer. In the fall of ' 96 he entered the Sophmore Class of Susquehanna University. During the year of 1897 he did some private tutoring, teaching a class conditioned in preparatory Latin. He was an active worker in all the religious organizations of the school, having taught a Y. M. C. A. Bible class during every year of his college course and also having taught at different times a Personal Workers class and a Mission class. He was a member of the first Student ' olunteer Mission Band of Susquehanna, which conducted an active campaign among the churches in the vicinity of Selinsgrove. Upon his return from the Northfield Bible Conference in 1897, at Northfield, Mass., he spent part of his summer vacation doing evangelistic work under the auspices of the State Y. M. C. A. During this year his travels, which were mainlj ' in religious work, led him into eleven states of the Union. He graduated from college in ' 99 with the degree of A. B. and three years later from the Theological Seminary with the degree of B. D. During the same year he received the degree of A. M. Immediately upon his graduation he began his post-graduate course in sociology, economics and philosophy, under, the direction of the faculty of Illinois Wesleyan University, at Bloomington, 111. In 1907 this university conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy in Social Sciences. After his graduation from Seminary he served as pastor of the Friedens Lutheran Pastorate at Friedens, Somerset County, Pa., until 1904, when he was called to be pastor of Hebron Evangelical Lutheran Church, of East Pittsburg, Pa., where he faithfully served his people until the year 1907, when he was called by the Board of Directors of Susquehanna LIniversity to the chair of Practical Theology and Apologetics in the Theological Department and Sociology, Economics and English Bible in the Collegiate Department of his Alma Mater.
