He* is greatly improved, and hopes in a short time to be restored to perfect health. The membership of the Catholic Club^is steadily increasing, showing thai the work of the "older mem•bters is tearing good fruit. On Tuesday, August 6, the programme consisted of a delate, ' Should the Chinese be excluded from Australasia ?' The leaders were :— Affirmative, Messrs. T. Knight, P. Mitten, and Z. - Beri ; negative, Rev. Father Kerley, Messrs. Polaschelc and J. Scott. After an interesting debate the former side won by two votes.

Father Kerley during the absence of Father Goggan, intends leaving Temuka on Friday. About 30 children attending St. Joseph's School received their First Communion on Thursday morning. '
