Timaru
(From Our Own Correspondent.) November 1. Yesterday about fifty children made their First' Communion at the 7.30 o'clock Mass, which- was . celebrated by Rev. Father Tubman, S.M. The Rev. Father delivered a touching and appropriate address. Breakfast, provided by the ladies of the parish, was served in the Girls' School. In the evening the church was crowded, standing room only being available. The Rev. Father Tubman preached an eloquent sermon, after which there was a renewal of Baptismal vows. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament brought the children's happy day to a close. The children had been well prepared for the great event by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the Marist Brothers.
