auguration of a colony, where the
victims will be isolated. With charac
teristic heroism the German Catholic
missionaries have come forward tc
undertake this terrible task, and the
administration of the colony has been
placed in their hands. The station is
situated about twelve and half miles
from Apia, on easily isolated land
: surrounded by high mountains. The
Mission will provide workers who
remain in the station till their death
for they sooner or later are sure to
contract the disease. The number of
sufferers is as yet comparatively
small, but many would still be healthy
if the agitation of the inhabitants of
the island had been listened to earlier.
There is, unfortunately, already one
white man among the victims, while
three years ago a German tailor died
from the disease. The new station
will minimize any further danger of
contagion.
Conversion of Anglican Minister'S
Three more Anglican ministers in
Australia recently entered the church.
Rev. Gordon Tidy, just prior to his
conversion to the Catholic faith, was
in charge of the Anglican Cathedral
at Bathurst, Australia. He is now

~ C4s~o
Church, Woollahra, for nearly three
years, has just been received into the
Church by Father Clarke, o. F. M, at
st. Joseph's, Woollahra.
Rev. A. H. Murphy, acting rector of
st. Barnabas' Anglican Church, Bath
hurst South, has also submitted to the
Church. 1t may be remembered that

Ne Temere decree against attacks
made upon it by the Anglican Bishop
and heads of other sects
Presentation to Archbishop of Liver
pool.-The recent elevation of the
Most Rev. Dr. Whiteside to the dig
nifty of Archbishop and Metropolitan
of the newly-created Province of Liver
pool has been availed of by the COM
mittees and controllers of the various
Catholic charities of Liverpool to pre-
sent him with a jewelled pectoral
cross, an Illuminated address of con-
graduation, and other gifts. These
tokens of love and esteem come with
peculiar fitness from the promoters
of the charitable organisations, in
regard to whose work the Archbishop
has shown the utmost solicitude from
the day when he was chosen as Liver
pools fourth Bishop. The testimonial
is further invested with interest in
view of the fact that the magnificent
pectoral cross was formerly worn by
Monseigneur Sibour, Archbishop of
Paris, who died martyr to duty. The
gift is accompanied by the original
"certiicat d'origine," also a framed
portrait of Archbishop Sibour, in which
he is depicted wearing the cross, and
a richly-bound history of the precious
relic from the pen of Mr.. Joseph Grad
we'll of Liverpool, the wellknown Cath.
Ollie lawyer. The pectoral cross forms
a valuable addition to Archbishop
Whiteside's collection of relics, which
also includes the episcopal ring OF
Cardinal Pole-the last Archbishop OF
Canterbury-who died in 1858.
Skeleton of a Monk Rendered.
A skeleton, believed to be that of a
