Will you please accept from the Board on behalf of the congregation, these inadequate words and this slight token of our regard, Signed on behalf of the church and members of the congregation. Face, Neck and Arms Easily Made Smooth, Says Specialist Miss A. R. Bean, Who Has Been Director of Methodist Choir, We could not let you go without saying this much and we would gladly say more but we realize that words are inadequate to express what we feel and your imagination must fill up the blank spaces. The services of your wellâ€"beloved brother must not be left out of this "statement of liabilities." We take pleasure in saying how much we have enjoyed his painstaking and masterly work as organist. We all regretted the fact that the pressure of business affairs compelled him in turn to retire from the position as organist. At the regular service in the Watâ€" erioo â€" Methodist: church on Sunday, January 6th, Miss Auna R. Bean, who has relinquished the position of choir leader which she has held for many years, was made the recipient of an appreciative address and preâ€" sented with a handsome piano lamp on beha}f of the congregation. Mr. Thomas Hilliard read the address and Mr. H. G. Mistele made the presentation. Following was the address preâ€" sented to her: To Miss Anna Bean, Music is essential to the life of . any church. It is essential to life | itself. Music was sung at the creâ€" ation, music ushered in the new disâ€" pensation, and music, we belleve.“ will be the great feature of our life'? in the world of light, and while we ; are here, it is necessary to the exâ€"| pression of the feelings of a Chn's-} tian assembly, Our religion has inâ€" spired many wonderful composers and numbers of these you have interâ€" preted for us in the most scholarly manner, and this church will remalnl for all time your debtor. The gift of music is evidently hereditary in your family and some of us are able to recall with gratiâ€" tude your late revered father and his services to this church as leader of the musical part of the worship. It was certainly a kindly Providence that fixed the home of your family in Waterloo. Mr. ‘Hilliard, _ recording . stew:â€" ard of the church, made appropriate reference to the long and efficient service which she has given to the church both as organist and as diâ€" rector of the choir. He noted the time a pupil of the late David Bean, a former principal of the Elmira Public School, hax designed the pipe organ of the church when it was installed and it has proven a most efficient: instrument. About five years ago Miss Bean accepted the position of organist ahd choir leader of Zion Evangelâ€" ical church, Kitchener, necessitating her relinquishing the position of orâ€" ganist at Waterloo, She has, howâ€" ever, been directing the choirs of both churches. Her brother, Mr. Clive S. Bean, succeeded her as orâ€" ganist. You have given many years of wonderfully efficient and faithful service to this congregation as orâ€" ganist and choirâ€"master and the members of the Quarterly Board, on behalf of the whole church, desire to indicate their appreciation of what you have accomplished. As you are about to sever your professional . relations with _ our church, we wish that you should carry with you "in black and white" the assurance of our gratitude and esteem. Kitchener, Ontario.
