A GOOD EXAMPLE.

(From an occasional correspondent.) The following extract from a letter of his Lordship Bishop Redwood, referring to the collections made on behalf of the Nelson Reformatory, was read in the Catholic Church at Rangiora on Sunday last : — " My Dear Father Binsfeld, — Many, many thanks for youi cheque for £62 13s. towards the Nelson Industrial School. Your district stands at the head of the Diocese proportionately in this collection. I hope you will warmly thank every part of your district, in my name, for their good will and generous charity." When it is taken into consideration that the small number of Catholics in this mission have, during the past four years, built one of the finest presbyteries in the diocese at Rangiora, a neat church at Oxford, and a fine commodious church at Kaiapoi, the cost of all of which has bnen nearly paid off, it cannot be said that the calls upon the people have been less frequent than elsewhere, but they must consequently have been heavier than in many other places. The Bishop being a keen observer of all that is being done in his diocese, knowing well that great exertions had been made by the Catholics of this mission to complete the above-named work, considered his spiritual children entitled to his warmest thanks far their generous response to his urgent call for aid for that great work, the Nelson Industrial School, that being an undertaking of the greatest importance, and which Bhould be generously subscribed to by every Catholic in New Zealand.
