KINGAN SAYS GOOD BYE
Methodist Pastor breaches His
Last Sermon in Sank Centre
and Will Leave

Rev. j. S. Kingan, for the past
two years pastor of the Sank Centre
Methodist church, said good bye to
his people last Sunday. Mr.. Kingan
took the early morning train Tues
day for Litchfield to attend the an
nual meeting of the Northern Mime
sofa Conference, where he expects to
receive a new assignment
Mr.. Kingan did not preach a for
NAL farewell sermon; he simply stat
ell at the morning service that it
was his last Sunday here and that
he would go elsewhere next year.
He said good bye to his parishioners
il: fitting manner, and then preach
ed on the topic Private Family
Worship" At the evening service,
Mr.. Kingan, who has fine, tenor
voice, sang a solo, the chorus of
which ran thus:
Twill profit thee nothing,
But fearful the cost,
To gain the world,
If thy soul should be lost.
During Mr.. Kingan's two year
pastorate, he has accomplished much
for the local Methodist church. When
he took up the work here, there was
a debt of $1,000 on the church build
ing. This, he succeeded in liquidat-
ing, and the church was dedicated
the last Sunday in August. Mr.. Kin
gan has been a hard worker and has
built up the church in all lines. He
came here from Melrose, where he
also raised debt Mrs. Kingan re-
mains here while Mr.. Kingan is at
conference. He will return here soon
ard with his wife, go to new charge.
The best wishes of their many friends
go with Mr.. and Mrs. Kingan.
