Wanganui

(From our own correspondent.) September 6. In all probability his Grace Archbishop O'Shea will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation in St. Mary's Church on Sunday, September 28. Close on 100 children are now being taught their Christian Doctrine in the outlying districts by the members of the Aramoho and Wanganui branches of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The second annual social of the Hibernian Society was held last Wednesday night in the Fire Brigade Hall, when there was a good attendance. The function was ably carried out by Bros. E. J. McLachlan, J. Cronin, A. J. Fitzgerald, A. McWilliam, J. G. O'Brien, W. IVLcTubbs, and W. R. Setter (secretary). The supper, which was in the hands of the ladies' social committee of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, was all that could be desired. Most of the memoers were present in regalia, as were also the representatives of other societies, the presence of the latter being evidence of the feeling which exists between the various friendly societies here. At the last meeting of the branch, it was reported that two members were on the sick list. The Friendly Societies' Dispensary was opened last Monday, and everything promises to be a success. Bro. W. Resetter must be congratulated on having been elected secretary to the committee. The dispensary will be a boon to the members generally.
