A CHALLENGE
CATHOLICS AND POLITICS.
Auckland, July 25. Iu connection with controversy regarding Catholics and politics, Father B. J. Gondringer, in reply to Canon James, says: “If he can prove that we have made a compact with the Labour Party I again promise to build the much-needed Anglican cathedral up to a cost of £250,000. If anyone made me such an offer I should spend nights as well as days in an attempt to find tfie necessary proofs. Supposing the good Canon has, or can find, proofs, he need not worry about my ability to pay. My multi-millionaire uncle in America (Mr. Dubugue, of • Iowa), has cabled,me .stating that he' has lodged the money in a bank. So convinced is he of the justice of our cause that he is prepared to leave it there until Christmas Day this year for the purpose of my challenge—that is, until after our A elections. The interest, he states, is to be added to the principal, and should the Canon win, a life-size statute of him in bronze should adorn.the facade of the new building.”
