-—:—» :— A WELL-DESERVED PRESENTATION. (PRE3A ASSOCIATION TELEOfcAM.) WELLINGTON, December 4. There was a very large gathering at tlie Town Hall last evening to do honour to Mother Mary Joseph Aubert, the occasion being a public recognition of the fact that Mother Aubert has just concluded fifty years' work amongst the sick and suffering of New Zealand. His Excellency the Governor handed Mother Aubert a cheqtie for over £'2000, which had been subscribed by sympathisers all over the Dominion. Lord Islington paid a high tribute to the splendid services Mother Aubert had rendered to her fellow-creatures. It required no panegyrics from him, Jbe said, to elaborate that work, for it stood out by itself ns a monument of sustained energy in the cause of human solicitude. . ■Mother Aubert , . who personally received the gift, met with an extraordinarily enthusiastic reception. Dr. Izard returned thanks on her behalf. ■ The Rev. Mr Van Stavorefl, the Jewish Rabbi, also eulogised Mother Aubert's noble work, and on her behalf announced that the money just presented would be applied to adding a wine to the- Homo of Compassion &t Island Bay, for convalescent children of all creeds. :
