Hokitika

(From our own correspondent.) ;„; '- May 8. On Saturday, May .4, a mission was commenced here by the Very Rev. Father O'Connell, S.M., and Rev. Father McCarthy, S.M. So far the attendances at all the services have been large, taxing to the utmost the seating accommodation. The early Masses have been particularly well attended, large numbers receiving Holy Communion each morning. At the recent borough election in Hokitika two prominent members of St. Mary's congregation were elected to seats on the Council. These were Mr. W. N. Warren (president of St. Mary's Club) and Mr. W. J. Jeffries. Mr. W. J. Jeffries also obtained a seat on the Harbor Board and the Charitable/Aid Board.
