Black and famil ...expect to leave for Whitewood, Sask., the 18th of this month. ~ _ Whitewood was Mrs. Black's former home and many friends of the family are there. The ~sason for this rather un- expecicd move on the part of Mr. Black is that while the doctor tells him that he is free from the disease that laid him aside, he also told him that his |prs throat was too week to continue the work of the ministry and advised that he give it up for a Jour or two at least. According- y Mr. Black has placed his re- signation in the hands of the Presbytery which meets on the 9th of December, and is retiring from the ministry for the present Needless to say the congre- gation of St. John's Presbyter- ian Church are deeply disap- inted at this turn in affairs th because of the fact that it means serious misfortune to their pastor, and because it will be. hard to find a man who will better fit into the many require- ments which the success of their church demands. Mr. Black, who has been in the ministry for nineteen years mostly in the West, is well fit- ted for his chosen work, and his friends had looked forward to the day when his ability and sympathetic understanding of his work would place him in a leading position in the Presby- terian ministry. He is a ready pleasing speaker and is widely read. The basis of Mr Black's suec- cess in his work here was his realization of the fact that hu- manity needs friendship as well as spiritual counsel; wholesome guidance in play as well as stimulation to holiness. His work among the young people last winter was greatly appreci- ated by them and while it re- presented much hard grinding it lifted the curtain into the room of opportunity for the training of young folk in the development of their talents in such a way that eventually they could be of service to the com- munity and the church. In saying that the members of Mr Black's congregation regret to lose him, we must not omit to say that there is general re t among the townspeople that e is leaving us, for he has been a good citizen and both he and Mrs. Black have sincere friends among the townspeople, : The little folk will also be sorry to lose Evelyn as she was a favorite among the younger dren. Mr and Mrs Black expect to spend Christmas in their new home at Whitewood, and will spend the winter months there. We trust that happiness and prosperity may await them. Promoted Mr. Winnett Nesbitt, son of Mr and Mrs Wm Nesbitt of this this town, is doing well in his w work. He has been em- played with the Cadillac Motor r Company at. Detroit for a few months, and has been pro- moted as head of one of the ftments of this concern.
