MOTHER MARY AUBERT'S HOME.

Next Sunday afternoon Archbishop : Redwood will formally open Mother v. Mary Joseph Aubert's hospice at la- - land Bay and as a large number of S prominent citizens halve signified their intention of being present, the; opening ceremony,'' providing that the weather holds good, 'should be very . interesting. The new home, called the Efome of Our. bady of Compassion, is „ only/ partly finished, the completion of the building will he proceeded with when funds are . available. The portion to be opened next Sunday is in•tended only for children, one half for the reception of healthy foundlings, ( whilst the other is for children,' suf- ( fering : . from, deformities or incurable diseases. Of '. the: Reverend Mothej: Mary Joseph Hubert's , energy, selfsacrifice atid noble devotipn to the truly Christian and Charitable cause so near and dear to her'Kea.r't, more will be said after next Sunday's ceremony. It is many years r since the good and hold woman conceived the idea of the erection , of a new , and . larger Home and/ it is due to her .. energy and even her courage that &tf- ', ficient funds have h'een raised by con- '. ' .. certs and subscriptions to make a , start. The cost of the erection of the whole Home is £32,000. and the magnificent structure to be declared open next Sunday afternoon is not one half of the Hpme^ that' Mother . Aubert wants, and what still more unfortunately is stilt/ more urgently r needed. The time,' it is hoped, is.nc-t . far distant when a sufficient sum wilt be 'raised to" have, the whole building erected and thus crown with success and everlasting glory, the r true, noble and Christian work of a true, noble-hearted Christian woman and the worthy Sisters of the order to which she' belongs. •
