ST. ANDREWS CATHEDRAL CONGRE-
CATION.
Memorial to the Bishop of Honolulu
Sustaining the Cathedral Services.


has been called to the publication in
your columns this morning of the me- !
mortal of August %, to which reference
was made in my circular of the 9th in
slant
May ask you to give the public the
same opportunity, audire alteram par
lem, by publishing the counter memorial
drawn up under the guidance of His
Majesty the King, to the signers of
which, as the upholders OF the Cathedral
Church as hitherto constituted, my circu-
lar was addressed.
If MIR. Walker desires to publish the
correspondence that has taken place
with regard to a memorial, containing
no reasons for which it should be acted
on, but subsequently justified as my
circular states, he has my full consent to
his doing so. Yours faithfully,
ALFRED WILLIS.
Honolulu, December IL, 1885.
To the Right Reverend the Lord
Bishop of Honolulu: The undersigned
members of the Hawaiian and English
speaking congregation of St. Andrews
Cathedral having had under considera-
ton copy of a memorial presented to
Your Lordship by certain members of
the English-speaking portion of the con-
gregation, suggesting that they may be
allowed to form themselves into a dis
tinct society having authority to elect
their own minister subject to the APP
prevail of the Bishop of the Diocese, de-
sire to assure Your Lordship that they
have no desire to form part of any so
ciety that will be distinct from the Ca
thedral congregation to which they be-
long They desire that the Cathedral
services may continue to be carried on
as heretofore under the direction of the
Bishop as chief minister of the Cathedral
Church.
Whilst they would deprecate any di-
vision, yet should Your Lordship deem
it wise to allow the separate service
asked for, they would beg that the dig
nifty of the Cathedral Church, according
to the desire of its Royal founder and
protectress (whose memories every men,
Der OF the congregation must revere) may
be maintained and the rights of the rest
of the congregation respected.
In the event of your Lordship assent
ing to the changes asked for we would
suggest that the services heretofore con-
Quoted in English be held at 8 80 o'clock
a. m. and o'clock p. IN. on Sundays.
The parties represented by the memoir
ialists being allowed the use OF the
Church at IL O'Clock a. m. and Z 80
I o'clock p. IN.
If this change is made the undersigned
express their willingness to attend the
services and assist to meet the expenses
which the maintenance of the Cathedral
services will involve. (Signed)
