TORONTO, May 3l.-—'-ln respon- sc to lthe enormous demand for ud- misslon to tho inaugural services of the United Church oi Canada on June 10, which were planned to be held in lMklssey llall, it has been tie cldod to enlarge th cpresent plans and to hold those services ll‘l the Arena, which was secured for that purpose. The Arclia will accumula- date about 8,000 people.

One oi the chief illfilmlltlos ill the way oi transferring the scene of the historic ceremony was the administration of holy communion with which the inaugural service will close. Objection was based not only on the score of convenience, but as to the propriety of such u highly religious observance in a public stadium.

This criticism was silenced when the committee was reminded that the first communion, presided over by Christ himself took place in an "upper room," which was sp"(‘.l‘llly loaned for the purpose. The com- mittee was also reminded that com munion services had been hold in the glens and mountain sides of Scotland, and in tile log cabins and shaniles of Canada. One ex-chnll- lain recalled administering the sac- rament in the barns and dugblllfi on the battlefield.
