From Australia we sent I i warm congratulations and a promise of prayers in such an i i arduous apostolate. We hope to be early on the list of Provinces I I I I to be visited. i · I I I The Australian Delegates to the General Chapter in June at f Ii Rathfarnham, Dublin, make a contribution to this number of I i the magazine on page 10. As these lines are being written I i they are on their way to Canada, where they are to stay for I I I i several days on their flight back to Australia. See page 72. I I i I This contact with the Canadian Generalate of our Institute I Ii will round off a number of happy meetings where the friendliness I I of the Australians won all hearts. The strong bond has been I I the common traditions of the Institute and the devotion to the : I Cause of the Foundress, Mother Mary Ward. I I I I The Houses in the Australian Province will receive a new I I infusion of encouragement in their work when they hear of the I I courageous and self-sacrificing labours of the Institute overseas, I I in the important apostolate of educating girls.
