AMUSEMENTS.

“THE MONK AND THE WOMAN. ’’ Mr George Marlow’s company of dramatic artists will open their seasun at tire Mur ton Town Hail tonight with “The Monk and the Woman, ’’ for one night only 7 . It is stated that the play revolves; on love, religion and warfare. It contains plenty 7 of incident, and much dignity and pathos. It enjoyed a capital run in Sydney, and at the present time is being played by four different companies. The members of tiir company playing the piece here have been specially selected for their suitability to the various characters they depict. The scenic effects are of the most gorgeous k;ud, and the costuming of tlie play, which is set in the period of UOO, will be of mi exquiiste and authentic nature. No romantic drama of recent years lias commanded such universal success, nor ‘aroused so much controversy, and it is safe to say that the Town Hall to-night Thursday 7, will be filled with a crowded and interested audience.

Doull had renorted to the Wanganui Presbytery on his visit to the Oriugi Gamp, considerable discussion took place concerning the frequent attempts made by Brigade officers imported from England to convey the impression among the rank and file that the Church of England was the State Church, and that its services alone must be attended. A number of instances were given iu support of this, the most recent being at Oriugi, where the men, it was stated, were told to go to the Anglican service. This, it was pointed out was distinctly a contravention of Brigade orders, and manifestly unfair to other Churches of New Zealand. The Dominion recognising no special Church, all Churches were regarded as being equal iu status, and it was maintained that action should be taken to impress this fact upon officers, who practically commanded the men to attend the Anglican service. Eventually it was decided that the report he received and the question of Bund ay services be referred to the Chaplains Committee of the Assembly for report.
