EXPLANATORY.

Having taken much interest in the improve
ment and usefulness of tho Young Mems mrs
tan Association oi this place, regret inc
misunderstanding which seems to have occurf-
ed last week, the facts being as follows =
Learning that the Pastor OF the NJ. T.. Church
could not be present At the Lecture before inc
Association, which had been appointed al HIS
Church, on account Of u previous engagement,
and inferng correctly as after@aTd aPPealeul
that he wished 10 oe present, and meeting i"o
of The ministers Of the town on Thursday morn
ing suggested the expediency OF havirg TINS
Lecture al another Church and the nert one al
the NJ E. Church, when the Pastor could have
the privilege Of attending. The suggestion be-
Jag concuIred 10 by them went 10 member
OF the Associations COMMITTEE oil arrange
ments and principal member OF the M. Il:
Church, both Of whom also coLcurred 80
understood the changes would be MADE WIN
the approval Of all parties and Tor the gooo OF
the cause. On Friday morning was informed
that some members of the Association were
offended at it. Though surprised that II shouiq
be thought matter Of so much Importance L
went al once 10 some Of The parties previously
consulted, apologiZed for the interference ana
undid it so far as possible, by requesting Inc
ministers TO give notice on Sunday morning
that the Lecture would be delivered IS FIRST an
nounced. On Saturday evening was further
informed tina this was not deemed satisfacto-
nv, and that the Lecture would not be deliver
ed at ALL or be Indefinitely postponed. II IS
due to me and perhaps to the Association as
body that the facts be stated, upon which l
make no comment, but give this mere puoiic
apology 10 any who may have taken otelse at
my we'll meant, but it appears ill-iudeed en-
deayor 10 serve them. C. w. ANDREWS.
