FATHER AND SON REUNITED
SYDNEY, Dec. 26. Canon Hammond, Elector of St. Barnabas’ Church, says that a parcel o£ New Zealand illustrated papers that had been left by an anonymous woman donor at a receiving depot for gifts for the poor has been the means of reuniting a sick returned soldier and his father. The papers were presented to the soldier, a New Zealander, who read in one of them that his father, whom he had not seen for years was seeking him urgently. The son communicated with his father and arranged for his return from New Zealand by the first available steamer.
