On July 22 the Rev. Bro. Patrick Joseph Evans died in the St. Vincent de Paul’s Boys’ Orphanage, South Melbourne. The deceased was one of the first who joined the Order of the Christian Brothers. He labored unostentatiously for 36 years amongst the orphans in South Melbourne. The deceased Brother was a native of Tipperary, Ireland. He came to Australia in 1869, and joined the Order in 1875. ‘ You probably noticed the references of the speakers of the July 12 meetings to the Ne TemereV his Eminence Cardinal Moran was asked the other day by a Daily Telegraph representative. ‘ Can you, or do you care to, say anything further regarding the decree?’ ‘All I have to say,’ and a merry twinkle caused the Cardinal’s eyes to glisten, is that our Protestant friends have learned more Latin during the controversy than they ever knew before. Only one thing I would like to add, and that is that I wish they could pronounce the title of the decree properly. I understand many of them call it “No Temeer.” Now, let them pronounce it correctly, “ Ne Teme-e-re,” and —I give them no more information about it.’ Whereat the Cardinal laughed heartily, and for the time being had finished with the Orangemen. •
