Rev. Myra Kingsbury severed her con
nection with the Universaist parish in this
city last Sunday. Miss Kingsbury has serv-
ed this society for four years faithfully and
we'll and should leave with the conscious
ness that she has done what she could. She
has ever been awake to the best interests of
the church and has added to it numerically
and socially Among the young people and
children she has been a special favorite and
the older ones have always found in her a
true friend. She leaves very many warm
friends outside of her church and society.
The Pianista Club and the Boys Brigade have
been her special charges. and recently a new
club has been formed in this society which
has been named in her honor, the Kings
bury Social Aid Her plans as to the win
ter's work are very indefinite. She will
supply, but not as a candidate, several
churches in this State during this month,
ard may go later to Rhode Island for short
time. In the early spring she expects to be
at her home in Pennsylvania and will in
, form her friends, through The Journal, OF
her then definite plans for the future. Wher-
ever she goes and whatever she does she
will have with her the best wishes of many
! sincere friends in Belfast.
