GISBORNE NOTES

(From our own correspondent.) October 10. Mr. A. J. Muller, chief postmaster of Gisborne, who has been lying seriously ill, has taken a turn for the better, and is daily improving. The mission for adults, conducted by Fathers Eccleton and O'Leary, Marist Missioners, was opened at the 10 o'clock Mass on Sunday, September 30, the children's mission concluding in the afternoon. The missioners are pleased at the large attendances, especially at the daily Mass at 6 a.m. The devotions on Thursday were in honor of Our Blessed Lady, and the church was crowded. Tomorrow there will be Exposition all day, and in the evening a procession of the Blessed Sacrament. The sermon will be on the Holy Eucharist. . The spiritual graces of the mission are many, and fervent thanksgivings are being offered in many homes. V/ ;■• ;;.-.-:; -\--.^'.-,<"~' : -.- i : . ~ -
