Timaru

(From our own correspondent.) August 25. The Catholic Club, under the presidency of Mr. O’Halloran, held a most successful Journal night on last Wednesday evening. The peal of eight bells, now on order for the Sacred Heart Church, will be the first full peal installed in any Catholic Church in New Zealand. ® The Marist Missionaries are to. open a week’s mission at St. Andrews on Sunday next. The following Sunday will see the opening of a children’s mission in Timaru. On Sunday, September 10, they will commence a two weeks’ mission for the adults of the Timaru parish. Very Rev.,Dean Tubman, who was present at the consecration of his Grace Archbishop O’Shea, referred at the 11 o’clock Mass yesterday to the impressiveness of the consecration ceremony, the deep manifestation of faith made by the Catholics of the metropolitan city, and the hospitality extended to the visitors. The boys’ school has just been thoroughly renovated inside and outside, at a cost to the Very Rev. Dean Tubman of close on £2OO. The interior has been given a light pea green shade, with chocolate dadoes, new windows and an extra exit have been added, and

the whole building brought well up to modern school requirements. ' • 1 Tho Catholics of Temuka will be interested to learn that Dr; Ardagh, second ..son of Mr.’and Mrs. J. J.
