CHOIR LEADER
HAS RESIGNED
George N. Collins, Of Key
port Church, Leaves.
Special TO the EVENING NEps.

4 oPctNnt : ~ ~ O
Keyport, Jan. 31:-At a special
meeting of the official board of CAL
vary M. f. church, held Wednesday
night, the resignation OF choir leader
and organist George M. Collins, of
that church. was rendered to the
board and accepted.
At a meeting of the trustees of the
First M. e. church of Red Bank, on
Wednesday Of last week, they decided
to secure the services Of Mr.. Collins
as the musical director Of their choir
and Of Mrs. Collins as a member of
the choir, which positions had for
merly been offered to them II the
terms stated were satisfactory to Mr..
and Mrs. Collins. Mr.. Collins has
accepted the position and he and his
wife will appear Is members of the
Calvary M. E. church choir of this
place for the last time at the Sunday
services. They will assume their new
field of work on the following Sun
day, February 8.
Mr.. Collins has been connected
with the Calvary choir for the past
thirty-seven years, the greater part
Of the time having been its leader.
His acceptance of the offer means a
decided loss to the church and to the
whole community, who have enjoyed
the musical entertainments which he
has SO often provided. The choir OF
Calvary M. e. church has long been
noted for its fine music and under
the direction of Mr.. Collins has kept
apace with the times, being today a
vested choir of twenty-five voices.
Phelps Cherry and Mrs. Josephine
Hoff were named as members of the
music committee of the church to re-
place the vacancy caused by the re-
signing of Mr.. and Mrs. Collins on
that committee, and they with the
pastor, Rev. l. s. Yerks. will name
Mr.. Collins successor. While there
are people for the leadership and for
an organist under consideration, no
official action has been taken as yet
to fill the positions.
While the loss of Mr.. and Mrs.
Collins Is deeply regretted by their
large host of friends in the church
and Of the community, they take
with them their best wishes for their
future and deepest expression of ap-
probation and thanks for their past
services.
