Rangiora. * a ™f Price stated that the Bishop deeply regretted that he was not able to be present to personally' welcome the mission-, ary. The mission conducted last year in the Cathedral by the Redemptonst order had proved phenomenally successful, and the speaker was sure that the present mission would be equally successful.
