DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

Arrangements are being made by St. Joseph's parish choirs to hold a picnic on Labor Day. The picnic will be held at Taieri Mouth. Given a fine day a very pleasant outing is anticipated. The Catholic Sewing Guild for Belgian relief have done a great deal of useful sewing during the last few weeks, and have almost enough garments to fill another case. Donations of goods were gratefully received from St. Joseph's School (Oamaru), Mrs. Culling (Hillgrove), Mrs. Sheahy, Mrs. Logan, and Miss McKewan. As we go to press word has come through that Cecil Delany, youngest son of Mr. James Delany, North-East Valley, and brother of the Rev. Father Delany, and Mrs. A. Quelch, of Mosgiel, has been killed in action. We offer our sincere sympathy to his parents, brothers, and sister. The annual meeting of the St. Joseph's Harrier Club, at which the distribution of prizes won during the past season will be made, will be held in St. Joseph's Hall on next Friday night, the 20th hist., at 7 .'45. The committee are anxious to have as large an attendance as possible, and <:ivc a cordial invitation to all their friends to what they expect will be a successful ending to a successful season. The members of St. Joseph's Ladies' Club held their usual monthly social last Wednesday evening, when there was a large attendance of visitors and members. Various games, etc., were indulged in and helped to pass a most enjoyable evening. Items were contributed by the following:—Songs, Misses Burn, Bradshaw, M. Carter, A. Brady, and Mr. P.
