Clearances are granted at no extra charge to members. The entrance fees and rates of subscription will be found to com* pare favourably with those charged by other societies, and are as moderate as practicable, having due regard to the benefits secured, a synopsis of which is subjoined :— A Benefit Member receives during illness £1 per week for TWENTYS. X CONSECUTIVE WERE/*, 15s. for the next thirteen weeks, and 10s. for a further period of thirteen weeks : on death of wife, £10; at his own death his relatives receive £20. He has medical attendance and medicine for himself and family immediately on joining.

A member removing can have a CLEARANCE which will ADMIT him to ANY branch of the Society in the localiry to which he may remove. Honorary and Life Hononirj Members are provided for, and may, on the payment of a SMALL weekly contribution, secure medical attendance. Our fellow Catholics hare no longer the excuse, heretofore too well founded* that there is no Catholic society for them to join, offering advantages equal to those afforded by other benefit societies, as the HIBERNIAN AUSTRALASIAS CATHOLIC BENEFIT SOCIETY is in a position to offer benefits not to be surpassed by any other society in New Zealand ; it is therefore confidently anticipated tbat in a very short time many thousands will be enrolled in its ranks throughout this Colony, forming an institution to which it will be an honor to belong, and of which the members may feel justly proud. i As set forth in the introduction to the Rules, one of the objects of I the Society ia for the members to " Cherish the memory of Ireland," j rejoicing in the prosperity and condoling in the sufferings of their ! native land, and to bind them yet closer m social chains of fraternity | and friendship iv this distant land. Also, to endeavor to instil into 1 the minds of the Celtic-New -Zealand race a veneration for the land of ! their forefathers, in order that they may imitate, if not excel, the faith j and virtues of that devoted nation ; and to extend the hand of fellowship to their co-religionists of every nationality, participating with them in a brotherly spirit every benefit, social and pecuniary, the ' Society affords.
