DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

A social in aid' of the furnishing of the local stall at the forthcoming bazaar will be held on Friday evening in the Sacred Heart Schoolroom, North-east Valley. The annual collection on behalf of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which was held at St. Joseph’s Cathedral on Sunday, will be continued on next Sunday, and will also be taken up at the North-east Valley and Kaikorai churches.

Early on Sunday morning a fire broke out in a tobacconist’s shop occupying a portion of the Tablet Company’s buildings. The outbreak, which gutted the shop, was fortunately discovered before it had time to reach the printing works. As it was some damage was done to the stock of paper by water. The usual weekly meeting of the St. Patrick’s Men’s Club was held in the presbytery, South Dunedin, on Monday night. Rev. Father Delany presided over a fair attendance of members. During the evening Rev. Father Morkane gave a most interesting and instinctive lecture on the works of Shakespeare, which showed clearly to those .present that notwithstanding the period in which he lived, Shakespeare had a great leaning towards the Catholic Faith. In moving a hearty vote of thanks to Rev. Father Morkane for his much appreciated lecture, Mr. Robinson said it was a pity the young men did not take the grand opportunity of joining the club and participating in such instructive and lucid addresses as the one delivered by Rev. Father Morkane.
