REV. J.D. CUNNINGHAM, D.D. TO LEAVE WELLAND IN SEPTEMBER
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 15 June 1926]
At the morning service at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Rev. J.D. Cunningham, D.D. announced that he was shortly to sever his connection with the congregation. Dr. Cunningham, at the meeting of the General Assembly in Montreal last week, was appointed to the chair of New Testament Literature and Exegesis at Knox College, Toronto, and will resign his ministry of the local church to accept that position. He will ask to be released from his charge here at the July meeting of the Presbytery. It is expected that Dr. Cunningham will assume his new position at the end of September.
Dr. Cunningham has been a successful and much loved minister, and the announcement of his intended departure is received with very sincere regret. The church has thrived under his ministry and his twenty years have been marked by an unbroken harmony and accord. He carries with him to his new post the good wishes not only of his congregation but of Welland, and that he will succeed there as he has succeeded here is not to be doubted, for his natural gifts added to his sound scholarship, make him well fitted for the chair that has been given him, and which he filled so well during the last year as a temporary appointee.
