Temuka

(From our own correspondent.) ] Rev. Father Schaefer, S.M., of St. Patrick’s Col- k lege, arrived in Temuka last week and celebrated the 10.30 o’clock Mass on Sunday. In the evening he preached an eloquent sermon on the Blessed Eucharist > to a very large congregation. ? The petitions now in * circulation were largely signed after both Masses on Sunday. At the 10.30 o’clock Mass Very Rev. Father O’Connell, S.M., paid || a well-deserved tribute to his Lordship Bishop Cleary I for the able manner in which he had at all times dealt --: with the Bible-in-schools question. , ' .. The weekly meeting of the local Catholic Club was held on Tuesday last, when a competition in the "J form of ‘ set speeches ’ was held for a trophy presented 3 by the president (Mr. J. Scott). There were six com- J petitors, and the judge (Rev. Father Kerley) awarded -r the honors to Mr. E. B. Gillespie for his address on i J the late Mr, Seddon. During the coming month it isl|| intended to hold another such competition, and- also JM a re-union with the Timaru Catholic Club. • y
