SADD, Commissioner of Crown Lands. District Lands and Survey Office, Dunedin, September 9, 1919. CHURCH OR ST. ROCH, HANMER SPRINGS This week I beg to acknowledge the receipt of £42 6s 9d, which brings the total received up to date to the magnificent sum of £lO3 14s 9d. Mountains of gratitude to the “Clients of St. Roch.” This expression of thanks is feeble, for no words can tell, and no pen can convey how grateful I feel to all my friends for their great kindness and generosity. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. So far I have worn no crown, nevertheless on many a night my poor head was uneasy; I had to meet the interest on the money due on the Church of St. Roch half-yearly. I had no regular congregation at Hanmer, no rich relations, no friends, but at last St. Roch came to my assistance, and is daily introducing me to friends who are rich in faith, in love of Holy Church, and in gratitude to God. This week I shall visit Hanmer, with God’s help. The boys will be pleased when I tell them of your generosity, and will offer up their Holy Communions for your intentions. I too will pour forth my heart’s gratitude as I stand at God’s altar in the Church of St. Roch offering up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for you, for your deceased relatives, for the soldiers living and dead, and for all your intentions. ’■ • £1 each: Miss Katie Kano (Nightcaps), Friend (Central Otago), Mr. P.
