WANGANUI.

(From our own correspondent)

July 12. The Rev. James Tymon?, S.M, of St. Patrick's College, is spending the winter holidays with his parents, who have decided to make Wanganui their home. On Sunday last the Rev. Father Tymons celebrated Mass and preached on the Gospel of ' the day (.Matt. vii.. 1.V21). He again occupied the pulpit in the evening preaching an impressive (■ermon from the text • ' Hitherto you have not aaked anything in My name. Ask and you shall receive ■ that your joy may be full ' (John xvi., 24). ' From the Mangaweka Heft In; of June 28, I learn that the Catholics of Mangaweka had a very succecsful bazaar about the end of last month. Gieat enthusiasm was displayed in working up the venture. People ot all denominations gave their hearty co-opera-tion, thus testifying in a practical marner to the high edeen in which Rev. Father Laoroix is he'd by the whole commu-dty. When such unity and energy were shown, it is not surprising to u'ud that the financial result was most satisfactory. The Wanganui Herald, of July b, evidently in an unguarded moment, published a piragraph anent the stoiy — now thneyoars old — of the 'conversiors ' to Prot •biantn-m of several hundred French priests. A correspondent under the norn de plume of 'A Catholic lie der at once took the matter up, and showed that this 'remarkable movement,' hs the Herald calKd it, was fully exposed in the N.Z. Tablet of July 2(>, I'JOO.
