From Our Rabaul Correspondent The death of Rev. Mother Gerard, Superior of the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Vunapope, Kokopo, New Guinea, occurred recently.

She had been superior of the Con vent for 30 years and was held in the highest respect and esteem, not only by the sisters, but by the hundreds of children who were in her care. She arrived in the Territory in 1896 and always took a leading part in the work of the Mission.
