A WORD TO THE CLIENTS OF MARY. , QUEEN OF PEACE I should be most grateful to you for your help in building a church in honor of the Queen of Peace. You must have some one dear to you who' has fallen in the cause of peace—an offering for this proposed Church would be a worthy memorial to him. Or you are praying anxiously fory an honorable Peace— an offering here would bo a very practical prayer for Peace. An alms given to this object is a very practical prayer for Peace; a worthy memorial to those who have fallen in the cause of peace; an act of devotion to Mary as well as an act of charity where charity is much needed and will be appreciated. Your will to give depends on your faith and on your devotion to Our Lady your power to give depends on your means. If you have the faith and the devotion but not the means, remember “the widow’s mite.” our sacrifice may be the means of moving the hearts of those who have the means to be generous with God but not the Faith. Roxburgh, Otago. Rev. D. A. O’Neill. READ THIS ! DON’T MISS ! There are 140,000 Catholics in New Zealand. Are there not 90 who will send me £lO each? No? Well, perhaps there are 180 who will send £5? No? Are there, then, 900 who will send £1? No? Then there are surely 1800 who will send 10/-? No? Then 1 am surprised to find so much poverty in New Zealand. But there are 3600 who can and will send me 5/- to help me to pay the debt of £6OO on Church, to build a Presbytery, and enlarge the School. To the good resolutions you have already made for the New Year add this one “I will send a donation according to my means, or in proportion to any lucky investment I may make during the year. Are you patriotic? Certainly. You contribute to all the patriotic funds of your district for the bodily welfare of the brave lads at the front. Do something for their spiritual -welfare —all yon who have sons, t brothers, husbands, relatives, friends amongst them. Mass said every week for intentions of subscribers, for repose of N.Z. soldiers deceased, and for spiritual and temporal welfare of those living. Father James Arkwright, Eltham, Taranaki.
