Last evening was a very liappy one at tiie Homo of Compassion, the Sisters being muck rejoiced at the return of the Hey. Mother Mary Joseph Aubert.' They had hoped .and expected that she would return any time during the past, two years, but it appears that the venerable lady had much difficulty in obtaining a passport. She is a French subject, and tias never been naturalised, but as she had been over 50 years away Jrom France, the authorities there did'not recognise her claim, and she was faced with many difficulties in her path homewards. However, Sit Joseph Ward was asked tq interest himself in the matter, :ind by his kind offices the passport vrax' secured in the end. Another delay took place in London, as the Rev. Mother was kept there for three months awaiting her turn for a passage to Mew Zealand. She is rejoiced to lie back again, and is in fairly good health. Her sight, however, is not good, and she wishes all her many friends to realise that she is not able to recognise them unless they stop to speak to Jier, w-hich she hopes they will do.
