In addition to diverse talents and achievements, these chiefs had great spiritual abilities. Mikines was already an eight-year-old lead singer for funerals. Despite this, we know, who knew him, that he had a knack for priests. Kjølbro, who also had a great voice was a lead singer in Klaksvík church and sometimes he replaced both as a bell ringer and deacon. Around 1920 he became a member of the Brotherhood. The same year the sloop Kristina goes with 16 men to the Faroe Islands, which he heartbreakingly tells about to Mikines in the preface.
Umframt fjølbroyttar gávur og avrik rúmaðu hesir høvdingar miklar andaligar førleikar. Mikines var longu átta ára gamal forsangari til jarðarferðir. Hóast hetta vita vit, sum kendu hann, at hann hevði stikni til prestar. Kjølbro, sum eisini hevði mikla rødd var forsangari í Klaksvíkar kirkju og stundum avloysti hann bæði sum klokkari og deknur. Um 1920 gjørdist hann limur í Brøðrasamkomuni. Sama árið fer sluppin Kristina við 16 monnum á Suðurlandinum, sum hann hjartanemandi sigur frá við Mikinesi í føvninginum.
