Without a precedent of any kind in. the country, there was shown a res source and enterprise which, clothed every ceremony with dignity and beauty. Mr Hearn stated that Carthage (Northern Africa) will probably be the scene of the next Eucharistic Congress, this because there has never been _ a Congress in Africa and a strong desire for the experience has been expressed. Carthage is one oi the most interesting places in the ancient history of the Mediterranean, and to hold a Eucharistio Congress on such soil will create profound interest all over the Christian world.

He has been receiving medical treatment here and will take the curative baths at Rotorua this week. He leaves for Vancouver by the Aorangi on November 20th.
