j FETE AT ST. PETER'S. | "When jour vicar paid me. his old { parishioner, the compliment of asking ! mo to open your fete to-day," said Mrs ! William Rollcston, at St. Peter's parish fete on Saturday afternoon, "I j gently reminded hitn of the Time-limit I already reached and passed, and that, j from Time's verdict, there is no api peal. 1 .may observe that upon two j occasions lately, I have made, unavailingly, the same protest. The privilege ; remains with me; the peuance, I. fe;;r, j v.'ith you. The Riccarton fete," Mri ; Itolleston continued, "needs no exj plaining;. It is an 'aukl acquaintance' | that returns each year, with surpris- ; ing punctuality. It held its first birth- ' day hero in the vicarage gardens, in j the lata '7o's—more than fifty years • ago. Fetes have been annual affairs j ever since, and always in tho same j pleasant surroundings. "The happy rej turns' on each occasion havo reached • ~120. Now, that is a very fine record. Even the great and gloomy Dean Inge ! would be pleased with the 'backbone' j t;iiown by Ricc-irton, much as he obi .i'.-cts to ocular demonstration. But, I ! could wish to range myself elongside | tho Dean in his defence of the Vio j torians and their literature. Selfexpressiou would bo no text for them —rather self suppression.

"After all, everything ! old must one; have been new.

OBITUARY. ? SISTER JANET DAYIES. i 1 i At St. George's Hospital, on Saturday morning, the death occijyred of a. prominent social worker in the Citv Sister Janet Davies, of tho Community of the teacred Name. With the exception of a rwriod oJ j eight and d.-h:ut .years spent ab 1 imaru, bister Janet, stationed a» Christchurch since IWOO, became well known throughout the City for her work among the young people. She exerted a remarkable influence on the hundreds of young men and boys w'th whom she came in contact. * 1 • v/aB born at Hororata in IOBJ tohe joined the Community of j the Sacred Name in 1906, and worked for some years in Christchurch, mainly in the St Albans parish, before going to timaru. She was connected with St. Ivi«iry s Parish in Timaru for eight and a-half years, arid then returned to Christchurch, where she has been doing parish work at St. Albans, especially work .among the boys, ller influence and her wiso guidance have helped many a lad to lead an upright and useful life. Three weeks ago, Sister Janefc became ill. aud was re- j moved to St. George's Hospital. . j A Requeim will bo celebrated this morning at the Anglican Cathedral, ] and the funeral will leave the Com- I munity House at 2 o'clock this after- j noon. J Tho Bishop of Christchurch, preaching to a largo congregation at the Burwood Church yesterday morning, referred to tho loss the Diocese had sustained by the death of Sister Janet. He made reference to her great work for so many years among the young men and boys of Christchurch. TRIBUTE FROM ARCHBISHOP JULIUS. A tribute 10 tho !tto am) work o: Sister Janet v.as paid by Archbishop Julius last evening at the Cathedra!, in the course of his sermon, when be was enlarging upon 0110 of tho difficulties which lie had described as confronting the peoples of tho present day—that of tho mystery of unanswered prayer. "Through all this week boidc- of us have been praying for the life of one whose work and service are of infinite 1-aloe to this diocese," said the Archbishop. "ami our prayers wore apparently unanswered, for Sister Janet died on Saturday morning Why was she taken? I do not know, but we praydd for her. and, as we thought, were not answered Hut wo were answered, and Sister Jan> j t was taken from us tor something better for herself and for ua also. I should like to think that thoro arc many pressing forward to take her place. It was a good work—too good to allow to die. "Sister Janet came aud joined our stilf a good many years ago," said t,he Archbishop; "and became a member of the Community of the Sacred Nanio. A woman of exceptional and singular gifts, she manifested them gradually in her efforts. I have never known anyone- quite like her. I saw her eomo years ago at Timaru, followed along the road to church bv a long train of voung men, arid I shall never forget tho sight Many a £ood and faithful priest, 0. bishop, and an archbishop would have boon unable to do it. "Sister Janet had certain qualities, which she plaoed unreservedly ic th<« bands of her Master, and there 6ha worked with a long following of yu'.to fellows. Again and again it has oeen my privilege when she came to Christchurch to work with her. and I hav« soen men and young girls who fou! d in her something ot a mother who helped them along."
