Mr. Alfred John Cook, of Southampton, a member of the Royal Army Corps, who took an active part in the Omdurman campaign, has been re. eived into the Church at Perth, Scotland, by the Rev. Father Brady. Mrs. Harrison, better known as ' Lucas Malet,' who has been received into the Church, is the younger daughter of the late Charles Kingsley, and widow of the Rev. William Harrison, rector of Clovelly, who died some two years ago. The first of her six novels, Mrs. Lorimer, was published in 1882, the cleverest is undoubtedly The Wages of Sin, which ia in many ways quite a I remarkable book. Mr. George C. Williamson, Litt. D. of The Mount, Guildford (says the Weekly Register), has been received into the Church, i together with Mrs. Williamson and their children. Mr. William* son is the author of several books on artistic subjects, including one on Richard Cosway and his Companions, and he is editing Messrs. Bell and Sons' Handbooks of the great Masters in Painting and Sculpture, in which series he himself has dealt with Bernardino, Luini, and Perugino. Mrs. Caroline M. Jones, a wealthy New York lady, who died recently, embraced the faith a few weeks before her decease. Mrs. Jones was eighty-five years of age. She had been a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to which other members of her family belonged. Some months ago Mrs. Jones sent for Father Colton of St. Stephen's Church and told him that she had been thinking the matter over and that she desired to become a Catholic. Father Colton asked her to give the matter still further consideration, and two weeks later he was asked to receive her into the Catholic faith, which he did. Be administered the Sacraments on subsequent occasions.
