Gisborne

(From our own correspondent.) , July 13. Rev. Father Kelly, of the Irish Mission to China, was in Gisborne recently, and made an appeal on behalf of tho great work of the Missionaries to the Catholics of this parish. Rev. Father Lane gave every assistance in Ills power, and in response £77 10s was contributed. Mr. Chas. Wood, who has been choirmaster of St. Mary’s Church, Gisborne, for over two years, has accepted a similar position at tho Cathedral in Auckland. Mr. Mood is a clever and talented musician, and like his father (Mr. Chas. Wood, sen.), who was choirmaster at the Timaru Catholic Church for several years, takes a keen interest in church music. His many friends in Gisborne and elsewhere will wish him every success in his new appointment. 1 <XX>
