Isherwood Lauds Work Of Parson Simpkin
Secretary Henry Isherwood had the followi,ng to say, at the Annual at New Orleans, in regard to the splendid work done by Parson Peter A. Simpkins.
"The work of our Chaplain, Parson Sim,pkin, has been of great benefit to the Order, not only in securing 'greater interest on the part of our members but ,those connected with the Lumber Industry.
Parson Simpkin has covered a large territory during the past year, preaching the gospel of Hoo-Hoo, the Brother- hood of man, which has brought about a greater'degree of interest and gained for the Order ,a better and clearer understanding of its purpose and ideals.
It is {uite {mpossible for me to express my appreciation for the good work he has done. The addresses he has delivered to groups other than lumbermen have been most helpful to the industry in bringing about a better understanding between the public and the men of the industry.
I desire to impress upon you my feeling that this field work is of vast importance to this Order. I most heartily recommend that it be continued, because of its vital ,bearing on the future o{ Hoo-Hoo."
