There is on exhibition in. the works of Messrs. McNab and Mason, Symonds street, Auckland, a Celtic cross memorial, which is to be erected over the grave of the late Rev. Father Williams. It is carved in Italian marble, and is richly decorated with, a chalice and sprays of shamrock. The memorial is a fine specimen of the firm’s workmanship. The inscription, which is done in imperishable lead lettering, is placed underneath an inset photo, of the deceased Rev. Father, and is:— ‘ln loving " memory of 'Rev. Father J. J. Williams, of Wicklow, Ireland, who died *on 16th November, 1913; aged 31 years. Merciful Jesus give eternal rest to his soul. Bennact De le n-a anam.’ (The- translation of the latter is— ‘ God’s blessing be with his 50u1.’)...
