CHURCH OF THE IRISH MARTYRS, CROMWELL AN APPEAL For a Church to be dedicated to the Immaculate Mother of God and the Irish Martyrs at Cromwell, Central Otago. To the Irish Catholics of New Zealand m The Catholics of Cromwell appeal to you, their lellow-countrymm in New Zealand, to assist them to erect a suitable church in honor of the Immaculate Mother of God and the Irish Martyrs, those illustrious sons ami daughters of Erin who, during three hundred years ot the most bitter persecution the work! has ever seen fought the good fight and laid down their Jives for their faith. It is especially fitting that such a church should be first erected here, since we are in a manner challenged to undertake the work by the evil name which the place unhappily .bears. This is a matter which concerns not only the Catholics of Cromwell, but also every true-hearted Irishman in New Zealand. Are we not called upon to take part in so glorious a work by the most evident principles of honor /and gratitude ? The true glory of a nation is not its material prosperity or power—' for after all these things the heathens seek '— but the virtues of its people. The Irish Martyrs poured out their blood in torrents amidst sufferings untold to hand to their children entire the priceless heritage of the faith which St. Patrick preached. Who can measure, therefore, the debt of gratitude which we owe to these great and noble men and women, God's own army of saints and martyrs ? Were not these the purest of all patriots, the truest of the true, and the bravest of th© brave ? Will you Irishmen of New Zealand allow the name of the most bitter enemy of your country and religion to be perpetuated in the name of this place, "while you suffer «the memory of your own most illustrious dead to perish, vor to remain without some tangible monument of your love and gratitude ? We do not believe that such a thing is possible, and we have the greatest qonfidence that our appeal will be generously responded to. So far the matter has only been mentioned to a very^few, and some very generous donations have already been promised. We ask therefore help of all' Irishmen for the love of God and His Most Blessed Mother, St. Patrick,- and all the glorious Samtsand Martyrs of the Irisfi race. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in full in the 'New Zealand Tablet.' All donations g tO be sent to tta Rev. G. M. Hunt t Cromwell. *,n v,, ,< Si S ne d) G. M.
