THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by D. J. Richards; November 26, 1926: It is with deep sorrow that we announce in this issue the departure of two of our members claimed by the grim reaper since our last notes. The first to pass out was Sister Belle Cox, who had spent many years of her life in the Unity. She was followed a few days later by Brother Charles Freeman Wright, who had lived in the Unity about five years. Both were useful members and they will naturally be missed from our midst.
