DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(From our own correspondent.) August 17. Following is a copy of a resolution, moved by Mr. J. Fitzgerald, seconded by Mr. P. Darby, and unani- ... mously passed at the annual meeting of the Ponsonby branch of the Catholic Federation, held on July 29

“That this public meeting of the Catholics of Ponsonby records its appreciation of the services rendered the Catholic cause during the past 40 years by the N:Z. Tablet , and deprecates the reported attempt by certain misguided and bigoted members of Parliament to coerce the present occupant of the editorial chair in his fearless policy of propagating Catholic sentiment and teaching.’’ A social is being promoted by the Sacred Heart Club to be held in St. Benedict’s Hall on August 29. Prominent among the attractions will be a euchre tournament and competitive fancy-dress carnival. Valuable prizes have been donated.
