<!-- page:540 -->

Charles S. Hyde The New President of the Netherlands Mission Elder Charles S. Hyde left for his new field of labor in Holland, March 16, sailing from St. Johns, Newfoundland, on the 23rd. He was accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Lenora Sperry Hyde, who has been called to preside over the mission home. Their three children accompanied them. Elder Hyde will succeed President John P. Lillywhite as president of the Netherlands mission. He was assistant chief clerk in the Presiding Bishop's Office and a member of the Pioneer stake Sunday School superintendenicy ; also a member of the Pioneer stake high council, and chairman of the teacher-training department of the Pioneer stake, prior to his call for this new field of labor. In 1907-9, he filled a previous mission in Holland, acting as mission secretary to President Sylvester Q. Cannon. Mr. Hyde is well qualified to take charge of the new position to which he has been chosen, and the blessings of his many friends go with him to his new field of labor.
