SACRED VESSELS STOLEN
♦ THIEVES VISIT CHURCH (rSISS. ASSOCIATION TELMHUK.) AUCKLAND, February 15. On Wednesday night the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption- at Onehunga was broken into and two sacred vessels, valued at £3O, were stolen. The back door of the church had been forced open. Further investigation disclosed that the lock of the inner door leading to sacristy had been forced. There were five chalices in the room, three of silver and two gilded. The two latter are missing, the thief obviously having mistaken ■'i-m for solid gold.
