WE ARE PLEASED to record in this issue the return of Sister Cora Stephens to Estero, ac- accompanied by her niece, Marjorie Mills of Tabor, N. C. Sister Cora was gone fifteen months and visited most of the time with her daughter Alafae in Detroit, Mich., and her own folks at Tabor. En route south she stopped off for a few days' visit with friends in Youngstown, Ohio, and Koreshan friends (the MacDonalds) at Aliquippa, Pa., and was heartily received by all. She reports having had a wonderful vacation and a most enjoyable time. On Saturday morning, October 31, the Unity received a telegram from Mr. Leroy H. Bubbett, our representative at Winnetka, 111., to the effect that he would arrive in Fort Myers. that morning and for someone to meet him. We did, but it was most evident that Leroy was not long for this world, for he arrived completely exhausted and a very sick man indeed. The end came the following Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 3:30 p. m. Brother Roy, as he was familiarly known to us, w.as one of the early pioneers of the Koreshan movement in Chicago, coming into the home when a lad with his parents, Brother James and Sister Evelyn Bubbett. He 'performed much valuable service in those early days and since, and was ready at all times to champion the Cause of Koreshanity. He is survived by his wife and daughter, who reside at Winnetka; a son at Birm- ingham, Ala., and his brother, Laurence Bubbett, of Estero. His son, Victor Bubbett, arrived in Estero Thursday morning following his father's demise, and left the next day for Winnetka. Miss Margaret Penn and her sister, Mrs. Baker of Zanesville, Ohio, with Mr. and Mrs. Peyton Mont- gomery of Lakeland, accompanied by Miss Lydia Pierce of Fort Myers, paid the Unity a visit on Tues- day afternoon, Nov. 17. An open reception was held at the Planetary Court, so as to give our people an op- portunity to meet them. Miss Penn has been a reader of THE FLAMING SWORD for many years and has visited the Unity on several former occasions; needless to say she was gratified to meet the folks once again. Time being limited, our guests made a hurried visit over the park grounds and were delighted with what they saw of it. The following day en route to Miami, they stopped again for a short visit to the Unity Art Hall, which pleased them greatly. We had the pleasure of accompanying Raymond Pilgrim on a visit to Royal Palm Park, Fla., now in the area of the Everglades National Park, also Miami, while he was here as' our guest. We stopped overnight at Miami Beach, returning the next day via West Palm Beach and Clewiston, through the heart of the Ever- glades region. An unforgettable experience to Ray- mond was the sight of the thousands of birds feeding in the early hours en route along the Tamiami Trail, and of which he took many pictures. It was a most enjoyable outing with a very delightful companion. A chief attraction to most visitors to Florida, especially those coming to the west coast, is the gather- ing of beach shells, and Raymond was no exception, for he picked a choice collection to take back with him to Muscatine, Iowa, from the beaches of Bonita, Sanibel and Captiva Islands. To reach the two latter islands, one has to ferry across three miles of water from Punta Rassa. Accompanying Raymond on this de- lightful journey were: Sisters Etta Silverfriend, Bar- bara Ehrisman and the writer. It was Sister Etta'G first visit to the islands in her thirty-three years of residence in Estero; needless to say the outing proved a most delightful one to all concerned. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis of Everglades, Fla., and their guest, Mrs. Enell of Los Angeles, Calif., were dinner guests of the Unity on Sunday, Nov. 15. The following Sunday, Sister Rose Gilbert accompanied the above party to Sarasota, Fla., where they visited the Ringiing Art Museum, one of the outstanding attrac- tions of the entire South. On the eve of Raymond Munson Pilgrim's depar- ture for his home in Muscatine, Iowa, he gave us a very delightful vocal recital on Monday evening, Nov. 2, accompanied on the piano by Mrs, Edith Trebell. The program was an exceptionally well balanced one with selections to satisfy the most exacting. Particu- larly pleasing was "I Love Life," by Mana-Zucca. Space forbids a lengthy account, but we are surely in- debted to Raymond and Edith for this entertainment, the program of which was as follows: Two Grenadiers -- Schumann Old Fashioned Town -- Squire The Sunshine of Your Smile -- Ray The Mighty Deep -- Jude Coming Home -- Willeby I Love Life -- Mana-Zucca The Great Awakening -- Kramer The Lord Is My Shepherd -- Liddle There Is No Death -- O'Hara Tempest King -- Verne Because -- Guy d'Hardelot Homing -- Del Riego An invitation was extended the Unity by The American Type Founders to visit their Printers Progress Special at Miami, Fla., on Friday, Nov. 27. Brother Jesse Putnam, our faithful pressman, left here Thursday night to attend same and reports the exhibit was very interesting and instructive.
