cular, pamphlet, or printed matter many
form, printed by the order and authority
of this committee, in which the festival
is so advertised. And when you have
procured one copy of the hundred that
you say you ran, please notify us through
the columns of this paper and we will
call meeting of the committee, and all
others who may desire to attend, at any
time and place that you mention, and
hear those records read And, at the
same time please bring your report of
the proceedings Of the meeting at which
we were appointed, and we will hear
them read also. But then, why discuss
that question, we distinctly stated that
our object was from the very first TO help
them, and il mattercd little to us wheth-
or we bought an organ or helped to pay
for the painting and furnishing of the
church but concluded to buy the organ.
Again you say that | did not tell that
