She was attended by Rev. Father Del any during her last illness, and constantly visited by the Sisters of Mercy. Many of the Children of Mary attended at the graveside for the interment. R.I.P. Members of St. Joseph’s and St. Patrick’s branches of the H.A.C.B. Society assembled in large numbers at St. Patrick’s Basilica, South Dunedin, on last Sunday, and, in regalia, approached the Holy Table at the nine o’clock Mass. Addressing the congregation, Rev. Father Delany (who was celebrant of the Mass) complimented the Hibernians on the splendid manifestation of their faith witnessed that morning. He referred to the aims and objects of the society, and exhorted every young man of the parish to join, and participate in the benefits and privileges which the Hibernian Society offered as distinct from any other friendly society. * After Mass the members of both branches were guests of the ladies of the St. Vincent de Paul Society to breakfast, nicely laid and served in the adjoining schoolroom. Before dispersing, Bro. Ling (president of St. Joseph’s branch), on behalf of all present, thanked the ladies tor their hospitality, and expressed deep appreciation of the trouble they had taken in- providing so generously for the occasion. Father Delauy replied for the ladies, and incidentally referred to the helpfulness of the Hibernian Society in every parish where it was established. He again expressed the hope that the numerical strength of so beneficial an organisation should continue to increase.
