A list of names of Newburv boys,
who disturbed religious services on
Sunday evening at the Advent church |
has been handed your correspondent |
with a request they be published. !
We refuse to give the names or venti-
late any such low down state of affairs
We regret this business on the part of |
decent community, and we regret
that the principal worshipeis at this
little church have persistently refused
to put stop TO the petty aunoyances
they have been subject to ever since
they started in business. There is al
ways an element of id meanness in
human nature which if left unchecked
will make an unhappy community.
This however is no excuse for over
grown boys to disturb public worship.

contact with this patient sufferer can
not wish him back again.
