Rev. Edward Charles Cheney, and the re.
atiOn between his parish and that clergy.
man, has not been dissolved. lie Is still
IN the exercise Of his inlnistratlons; all Of

On, and the contract between the parish
Ind its rector, remains In full force. OF
.he knowledge Of these facts on your part
your note gives satisfactory proof, as your
remark that you are informed that mum.
Der are ready for confirmation, and have
been admitted to the holy communion
to the Rubric. The inlOrma.
ion, which was truthful in itself, must
rave been accompanied by that Of the
'urther fact that those so ready for the

made ready and admitted by the rector
If Chrisl's Church. II Is unnecessary,
perhaps, to state that as the Rev Mr..
Jheney Is tue rector of this parish, so Is

md sincere support Of his,parishlohers,
We are unaware of any lawful ground
ipon which his standing can be impugned
