IN THE NAME OF CHARITY
Death has removed from the field of charitable endeavour in Wellington a ladv whose work on behalf of afflicted child)en will stand as a monument and an example. Ihe late Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert has been associated with humanitarian service for ‘longer than the present generation can remember. From small beginnings -she has built up an institution whose work has commanded the admiration, respect, and sympathetic support of the community. The Home of Compassion at'lsland Bay is jhe coping stone to a life of diligent and unostentatious service in the cause of suffering humanity. The community, habituated by established custom to the work of charity in its midst, is a little apt to take much of this kind of service for granted. It is one of the tragic, ironies of life that Death not- infrequently comes as a fuller revelation of its scope and wo’th. The news of the death of Mother Aubert will be received with widespread regret by all classes and all creeds.
