DUNEDIN CATHOLICDS AND THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.
[Br TELEGRAPH. —PBESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Monday. At the annual meeting of the Benevolent Institution to-day, Arohdeacon Edwards (Episcopalian) spoke of the meagre support given by the Roman Catholic body to the institution. He said he did not notice the names of more than three Ronton Catholics who subscribed. He learnt by this morning's paper that they had given hundreds of pounds towards the building of the cathedral. This was a work they deserved all praise for, but surely the relief of the poor was of more consequence than the building of a gorgeous edifice. Hβ was sorry to have had to speak in this way, but had often been prompted to do so, and he thought it was time an influential body like the Roman Catholics should Bhow more sympathy than they did. Other speakers agreed, and Mr. Carroll (Catholic) said he would endeavour to get something done.
