The Very Rev. J. McCarthy, P.P., (Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Melbourne), arrived in Melbourne on January 12, after a year's sojourn in Europe. Father McCarthy's health has greatly benefited as a result of the change and rest ■ '.We are entering to-day upon a new campaign for completing St. Mary's Cathedral, and I hope that it • may be worthy of the first that was brought to a completion before Christmas. This second campaign I hope will comv, plete the work and bring it to a successful conclusion.' Those words (says the Freeman's Journal) were used by his Eminence the Cardinal in the course of his appeal for St. Mary's Cathedral Fund at St. Joseph's Church, Rozelle, on Sunday, January 15. With his usual energy and enthusiasm, the Cardinal has entered upon a new series of appeals for funds for finishing St. Mary's Cathedral. It will be known as the ' second campaign.' The first was opened in the latter half of last year at St. Patrick's Church, Parramatta, and the campaign has resulted in a collection approximating £70,000. The appeal resulted in the sum of £llOO being subscribed.
