A (From our own Correspondent.) ; Juno 25. “ tlio-eud of next month (July) should see the completion of the handsome new church \mich is being built at the corner of Mon- : mouth and Derby Streets to replace the old structure on the opposite side of the road, known as St. Brigid’s” (writes the Daily Times’ Feilding correspondent). “The new St. Brigid’s, which is being- built out of publicly raised subscriptions, possesses many . features of striking design, and the red tiled roof certainly sets off to advantage the ornamentation contained in the. body of the structure. The Rev. ' Father Cahill announced on Sunday, the 21st inst., that the church would be opened by Archbishop Redwood on August 16, and that arrangements were being made for the students of the Marist College at Highden, Awahuri, to take charge of the choir on that occasion. Thanks to the personal efforts of Father Cahill the shrubs surrounding the new church are growing profusely, and by the • opening date they should go a long way towards beautifying the surroundings.” The many friends of the Selby family will be pleased to learn that Air. Charles Selby is making a good recovery from a very severe* illness. Air. Selby is 81; he and his family lived many years in India. _ ' * <X>
