Saturdays Tribune of the resolution
passed by the members of the First Welsh
Congregational church relative to rehears.
ais of competitive music on Sunday The
members of the Scranton Choral union, al
whom the resolutions are aimed, claim
that the members of the church were un-
der misapprehenslon in passing the reso-
luton. Owing to the mistake of local re-
porter the hours Of Sunday rehearsals
were announced as taking place at the
same time as church services, whereas the
rehearsals are held at u noon, $50 p. m

interfere with regular church services

however that they condemn Sunday re.
hearsals, regardless of the time at which
they are held.
