 AS we have endeavored to establish a reputation for accuracy in our items, we feel that an explanation of an item of last week is in order. The state ment that services would be held in the hall at 4 o'clock last Sunday was substituted for the one we sent, which was correct. While we regret that an item that was misleading had a place among our own we have no apologies to offer, as the item in question was as much of a surprise to us as to anyone.
