AN APPRECIATED ACTION.
The Hobart Mercury recently reported a kindly act by Methodists towards Roman Catholics, and the incident has been published in most of the leading Roman Catholic papers in Australia. The Rev. Father Goodman was conducting a mission on King Island, and at Currie Harbour a difficulty arose, as Father Goodman bad no Catholic church, or even a hall available in which to conduct his mission. He made inquiries, and found that a Methodist community owned a fair-sized church in the township. He approached the Methodist authorities there, and to his great surprise, was allowed the use of the church lor the purposes of his mission for both morning and evening on the date named. It so happened that the Methodists had lately procured a new bell for their church, and, by a strange coincidence, this bell was used for the first time to call the Catholic community to the mission and to Mass in the Methodist Church. The action of the Methodist body at King Island was very highly appreciated by Father Goodman and his coreligionists.
