The Opening of the Memorial Church of the Irish Martyrs, Cromwell.

TO EVERY IRISH MAN AND WOMAN IN NEW ZEALAND. His Lordship the Most Rev. Dr. Verdon, Bishop of Dunedin, will solemnly open and bless the .Memorial Church of the Irish Martyrs -at Cromwell on Sunday, April 18. Everything possible 'has been done as far as the means permitted to make the building a worthy Memorial of the Martyred Dead of Ireland and a suitable Monument of th© Faith and Patriotism of the Irish men and .women of New Zealand. Will you, when so much has been done, allow the . Memorial Church of the Martyred Dead of Ireland to be heavily burdened with debt at the opening? We appeal to every man and woman in the country with ■ the last drop of Irish -blood- in their veins to help to open the Memorial Church of the Irish Martyrs completely free from debt. Surely the Blood of Ireland's Countless Martyrs cannot appeal to a single true-hearted son or daughter of Erin in vain. " ■ All subscriptions acknowledged in the New Zealand Tablet. G. M. HUNT.
