OFFICIAL STATEMENT.-To the Editor of
the SPY: The Pleasantvlle union sewing soci-
ETY. was organized a year ago this month. Dur
ing the year the society has obtained about
S595 bet. AT the annual meeting there was $40
in the treasury. The remainder has been appro-
prialed and expended in furnishing the new
chapel on Dewey street with settees, and an or
gan for the audience room, carpets for the ante
room, and various other articles needed in the
chapel.
This society was formed, as its name indi-
Gates, union society, with the understanding
that the services in the chapel should he in har-
mony with the society. Ladies, of whatever
creed, were invited TO join, and solicitors were
appointed TO seek aid Of tie generous public in
the uame of the society. They did so in good
faith without any intention of deceiving those
of whom they asked assistance. This word of
explanation is deemed necessary in Justice to
the solicitors aud to those who gave aid, as the
chapel has recently been dedicated by the
