ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

An Anxious Inquirer. There will be Redemptorist missions in Invercargill and district in November and extending into December; and you may take it as certain that there will be Marist missions in Canterbury at that time. We have no knowledge as to Wellington or Hawke's Bay for that period; but a line to the head of either or both of the two mission Orders would bring you the desired information.

L.T., Nelson. The spirit prompting your suggestion is a most admirable and praiseworthy one; but a Catholic paper cannot make a direct appeal for outside charities without express and special ecclesiastical permission. Perhaps you could act on the lines adopted by an Invercargill lady, and get any of your friends who are interested and willing to help to combine their offerings. Should you do so we will willingly forward the amount, together with your own donation already received, to the proper quarter. The pamphlet Adventures in Papua With the Catholic Mission (price Id) may be obtained from the Secretary, Australian • Catholic Truth Society, 312 Lonsdale street, Melbourne.

V.F.T.—(I) No details are available here regarding the Commonwealth song competition. Allan and Co., Collins street, Melbourne, would probably be able to send you the prospectus. (2) No. 3. You might send* us your address.
