PRAYER Book Not Used.

The statement recently published in
some newspapers to the effect that the
Episcopal Prayer Book was used by clergy
men in laying the cornerstone of Nixon
Theatre in Pittsburg was erroneous. a
gentleman of this city who sent a letter
of inquiry to Pittsburg has received an
answer which states that Messrs. Shea
and Dawson, Episcopal ministers, were
invited to the ceremony and requested to
make prayer, which they did not feel
to be Christian to decline, inasmuch as
the Rev. DR.. Arundel, rector of Trinity
Church, is the chaplain of the Players
League. The cornerstone was not
blessed and no form of prayer was taken
from the Episcopal Prayer Book. They
simply prayed that the workmen should
be protected from harm during the con-
struction of the building and that the
theatre itself would be protected from
evil generally.
