Palmerston North

; ■• (From our own correspondent.) A collection, taken up;at St. Patrick’s Church on Sunday last for the Belgian relief fund resulted in the handsome sum ,of approximately £36 being raised. Seeing that only ja' fortnight before the local Catholics subscribed over £4O ? for the Huntly relief fund, this latest manifestation of charity is very creditable to the parishioners. r - During' the past week a - number of ladies, including members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, have been working energetically . tor; prepare, garments for the Belgians. The. result of their work should very materially assist the distress of these unfortunate people. The Rev. Pather. Paul Kehoe, recently from England, is at present a guest at the local presbytery. f The Palmerston North Operatic Society very successfully staged the . opera . 4 Les. Cloches de Corneville ’ for four nights' last week. The profits are to be added to the Belgian. distress, fund. , : v-i?; ■;
