Gisborne
(From an occasional correspondent.) November 15. Rev. Father Lane, who is in Ireland at present, writing to Rev. Father Golden, says he expects to be back in the Dominion in February. Special collections were taken up at both Masses on Sunday for the Belgian fund, and will continue on next Sunday. Rev. Father Golden preached a powerful sermon on the subject at the second Mass. The Sisters of St. Joseph are actively engaged in the 1 laudable effort to raise funds for the Belgian fund
by means of a grand patriotic concert by the pupils of the convent schools. This is indeed a doubly charitable action of the good nuns, as these year-end concerts are one .of their means of livelihood. A 'feature of the concert will be a recitation' of a stirring t poem, 'Belgium,' by one of the boy pupils. The; poem was specially composed for the occasion by Dr. Collins, of Gisborne. The concert is to be held in His Majesty's Theatre on November 20, and a crowded house is assured.
