THE “ N.Z. TABLET "

AN APPRECIATION BY HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF WELLINGTON TO THE EDITOR. Wellington, n „. T ., February 6, 1911. Dear Sir —I deem it a duty and a pleasure to again recommend, through your columns, the New Zealand Tablet to the clergy and laity of this archdiocese and this Dominion. nlt is hardly possible to overrate the valuable and excellent results of the constant reading of a good Catholic paper like yours. Persons nurtured on such ™ Ug - are G f lly an ? promptly recognised by their habitual f-tS n i°a/x Und ld ? as , on subjects concerning both of education ' Particularly the all-important matter . Often a man takes the quality of his life from his reading, lour paper for now a long course of years has proved how thoroughly it has understood that the duty of the press S to + know the truth, and divulge nothing but the truth despite a misleading world. The Catholic press, outside the pulpit, by spreading broadcast the knowledge or divine things and upholding truth at any cost, checks in no small measure the dense ignorance and thoughtlessness of our age in regard to religious matters, the dreadful fufZo,? 0t T T° rah ' a f d *» diffusion of ban", nil errors. The providential mission of the Catholic press s to bring again and again to the homes of the people and impress indelibly on their minds correct CatholE ctoctSne and practice. It.would bo a great pleasure for me to know that every priest and every family in this archdiocese and the whole of tins Dominion has become a subscriber to your excellent paper. inucr Yours very faithfully, * FRANCIS REDWOOD, S.M., Archbishop of Wellington.
