FATHER GALERNE, S.M., HONORED.

Prior to his leaving the Fairlie parish to enter upon duty at Temuka, Rev. Father Galerne, S.M., was met by the congregation of St. Paul’s Church, Albury, who tendered an affectionate farewell • (writes ,a correspondent). At a gathering in the church grounds, Mr. Victor Sullivan, on behalf of the parishioners, veiled the sentiments of gratitude and affection felt by them towards the departing ■- priest, and eulogised his selfsacrificing labors and. devotion to duty during his .administration of the parish. Mr. D. Angland paid an eloquent tribute to Father Galerne for the splendid work he had done in their spiritual interests, and referred to the regret of the people at \ his departure. As an evidence of the gratitude of the Catholic 1 residents of Albury and Cave to so worthy a pastor, Mr. A upland asked Father Galerne’s acceptance of a wellfilled wallet. Father Galerne feelingly thanked the people 'of Albury for the very kindly sentiments expressed towards him, and for their generous gift. In return he assured them of constant remembrance in his prayers and in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

May your piety be humble. Love to., walk in the beaten paths, without seeing extraordinary ones, so subject 'to illusion and so full of perils. 4 1 1 == - - ■
