The Festival.

EDITOR HERAID: In your issue of last Wednesday you state that the h. dies of the Presbyterian church pro- pose ht lding festival on next Friday evening With reference to the les tival judge it proper to make some statements. In the first place while there are ladies, who are Presbvte. rians, yet it is not the ladies of the Presbyterian church, nor of any church in particular, that are getting up the entertainment. In fact, repre- sentativcs of several denominations are interested in it. In the second place, the purpose of the entertain ment primarily is for the benefit of a movement to organize Presbyte rian church. The intention being to nave pews made and place secured in which these and other services will be held. Ii is intended to have comfortable seats made at once, and il Is for this and other necessary ex- penses incurred that we ask the as sistaDce of the citizens of PhUnIX aud surrounding community. The festival will consist of supper, music. both vocal and instrumental, readings and recitations. \ full programme will be published next week.
