After the young people of Hedding

they made application to the trustees

therefore. withheld until the programme
could be examined and approved, Fur
thermore. DIT was required for this and
all entertainments from now on that
one member of the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees should attend
a rehearsal and Judge of the quality and

Dr. 8. Wellman CLARK. Of No. ITO
Mercer street. n Of the Executive
Commattee: said;-.We deciqed 70 take
delfberation. We were not ruling for
this case only. but also with regard to
all future ones. 1t car readily be seen
how dangerous it is to allow amy and
all entertainments proposed by. the
young people to, be held in the church.
A minstrel show or something of the
kind might shock the older members
and cause no end of trouble. ! am sor-
nv this affair occurred. and 1t arose. as
Mrs. Manner says entirely through 9
misunderstanding. I believe 1t could
have been settled more amicably. The
committee in charge might have ar
ranged for another rehearsal. or, II that
were impossible. we could have waived
the rule in this case"
The entertainment will go on-at the
Peoples Palace.
