Cardinal Moran, in the course of a recent speech at Sydney, made an attack on free-masomw. Everyone knew, he said, the terrible results of freemasonry in the Home countries. He was told that great efforts were being made at the present time to try to introduce this silent agency into the administrations of the affairs of the various States. It was the freemasons' boast that the State Governments were already in their hands. He believsd that great efforts were being made to secure the municipal administration. During the recent viist of the American Fleet Roman Catholics had had, he remarked, some experience of the sinister influence of freemasonry in trying to prevent them from giving a welcome to their brothers from beyond the Pacific. The Te Kuiti Young Men's Social Institute met in the Congregational Church on Monday evening last, when Messrs Boddie and Phillips addressed the gathering, on political lines. A very enjoyable evening was spent.
