To Leave Concord

Concord Evening Monitor

The Rev. E. M. Buswell, who has been in charge of the Concord Church of Christ, Scientist, since regular services of that faith were instituted a few years ago, is to relinquish his charge here and return at once to his former home in Beatrice, Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Buswell will leave Concord on Friday and the testimonial meeting in Christian Science Hall Wednesday evening, January 18, will be the last service at which Mr. Buswell will officiate as a Reader of the Concord Church.

Mr. Buswell has made many friends here, who will regret that urgent personal reasons now impel him to relinquish his work in this city, and they will follow him with their best wishes wherever his lot may be cast. During Mr. Buswell's residence here he has witnessed an increase in his congregations to more than two hundred from something like a dozen, and a handsome and convenient place of worship has been provided for the worshipers through the generosity of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Mr. Buswell has endeared himself primarily to his people by his simple and unaffected and sympathetic manner, no less than by his sturdy zeal; and many not of his congregation have joined to testify to their regard for him.

Mr. Buswell will be succeeded here by the Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson of Boston, who is a member of the official Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church in Boston. Mr. Tomlinson was formerly a clergyman of the Universalist Church, as were also his father and grandfather. He has on different occasions preached in the White Memorial Church here in exchange with former pastors. He will conduct services for the first time next Sunday morning.—Concord Evening Monitor.
