MR.. MARLEY EXPLAINS.
Says Communication Published In this
Paper Yesterday was Incorrect In
its Statement.

Paper Yesterday was Incorrect In
its Statement.
To the Editor of The New DOMINION:
/ wish to correct a statement made
in your paper of yesterday with regard
to my church services for Good Friday
evening. tits true Stainers Crucihx-
ion is to be sung in the church but
not by chorus of forty voices as stat
ed "There will not be an abbreviated
portion as the evening service" but /
shall use special service for that
day. The Crucifixion being one of
the church services and given in the
Church is to be sung by the choir of
Trinity Church assisted by some men,
bers of the otherchurch choirs and Miss
Thomas, Dean Wrightson, Prof. Chol-
let and Mr.. VIM. A. Page all of whom
have kindly consented to assist me in
the service. 1t is most beautiful
and impressive service and certainly
most sacred one, being the story Of
the Crucifxion OF Christ and has been
made one of the services of the Church
and not concert. Admission is by
card because the seating capacity Of
the church is very small and attend
ance must be by invitation. 1t is
not my custom to advertise my SER
vices as this was advertised for me
entirely without my knowledge or
council. Most respectfully
JOHN TILToN MARLEY,
: Rector of Trinity Church.
