AN APPEAL. FOR the last six years the " Daughters of St. Dominick " have been struggling to promote, in Dunedin, that good which it is the end of their Order to effect throughout the world, — namely, — the Education of Female Youth, in the path of science and virtue. The question of the advancement of true civilization, of genuine progress in the only real sense of the word — of the happiness of society, as of individuals, of the temporal and eternal interests of the rising generation, is eminently involved in the development and training of the young mind. While the subverters of order and authority in Italy, Germany, and other countries, spare neither wealth nor energy in their efforts to mislead the young and innocent, shall we be dismayed by our poverty ? Shall we make no sacrifices to save them ? Shall we not rather call .unto us the little ones of Christ, — shelter them from the baneful influence of corrupt principles and bad example — teach teach them that life has not been bestowed on them to be squandered in self-indulgence, vanity, or the gratification of their passions ? — but that, on the contrary, it is to be devoted to the selfdenying task of acquiring tbatsolid, useful,andreligious knowledge, ■without which they can never be good members of society here, or attain their noble destiny hereafter. To impart that all-important knowledge, the Dominican Nuns have devoted their existence. Hitherto their efforts in New Zealand have been much impeded by the numerous difficulties in which they have been placed. The want of suitable conventual and scholastic buildings has been a sore trial, and numberless have been the inconveniences arising therefrom. Plans for a Convent, suited to the requirements of the Dominican Rule, and affording facilities to the Sisters for conducting their Schools, according to the style of their European Houses, liave been drawn out ; — the means alone are wanting for the ftccomSlishment of the design. The Nuns, therefore, earnestly solicit onations towards a work which will involve an outlay of at least fourteen or fifteen thousand pounds. The smallest contribution will entitle the donor to a place on the list of Benefactors, for whom prayers are daily offered. DOMINICAN CONVENT, DCJNEDIN Fbast of the Pbksentaiion of Oust Lady.
