HIBERNIAN AUSTRALASIAN CATHOLIC BENEFIT SOCIETY.

Clearances are granted at no extra charge to members. The entrance fees and rates of subscription will be found to compare favourably with those charged by other societies, and are aa moderate as practicable, having due regard to the benefits secured, a synopsis of which is subjoined : — A Benefit Member receives during illness £1 ocr week for TWENTY-SIX CONSECUTIVE WEEKS, 15s. for the next thirteen weeks, and 10s. for a further period of thirteen w«*ks ; on death of wife, £10 ; at his own death his relatives receive £20.

Honorary and Life Honorary Members are provided for, and may, on the payment of a SMALL weekly contribution, secure medical attendance.

As set forth in the introduction to the Ruleß, one of the objects of the Society is for the members to " Cherish the memory of Ireland,' ' rejoicing in the prosperity and condoling in the sufferings of their native land, and to bind them yet closer in social chains of fraternity and friendship in this distant land. Also, to endeavor to instil into the mine's of the Celtic-New-Zealand race a veneration for the land of their forefathers, in order that they may imitate, if not excel, the faith and virtues of that devoted nation ; and to extend the hand of fellowship to their co-religionists of every nationality, participating with them in a brotherly spirit every benefit, social and pecuniary, the Society affords.
