LastTuesdayweekthishistoriclittle townextendeditshospitalitytothree membersoftheAustralianHierarchy -theRt.Rev.JohnMcCarthy,D.D., LordBishopofBendigo,theRt.Rev. DanielFoley,D.D.,LordBishopof Ballarat,andtheRt.Rev.Dr.Barry, LordBishopofGoulburn.TheirLordships,accompaniedbyDeanCrowley andFr.Mitchell,C.S.S.R.,leftPerth earlyintheafternoonandjourneyed toNewNorciabycar,arrivingthere aboutsunset.Theywerereceivedby HisLordship,Dr.Catalan,andlodged thatnightintheMonastery. Thefollowingday,Wednesday,was crowdedwithincidents.BishopFoley saidMassintheMonastery,Bishop M'CarthyinSt.Ildephonsus'College Chapel,andBishopBarryhonouredSt. Gertrude's.ThevisitorsthenthoroughlyexploredtheMonasteryand werepermittedtoopenupallits treasuresofartandtradition.Each freshrevelationoftheskillandindustryofthemonks,soevidentinalltheir worksofpricelessbeauty,evoked freshsurpriseandgenuineadmiration fromthesehardypioneersofthe ChurchinAustralia,noneofwhomhad everactuallysetfootinNewNorcia before.

Rev.Bro.Sebastian,Directorofthe College,introducedthepartytothe assembledstudents,andinthecourse ofhisaddressintimatedthattheburdenofthedayinthewayofmakinga speechwastobebornebytheeldest ofthemall-thevenerableDr.McCarthy.ButwhenHisLordshiprose amidstdeafeningapplause,hemadeit quiteclearthathisbrother-bishops wouldspeakbeforetheylefttheHallandhewasprovedrightinhisassertions.Dr.McCarthymadeaveryfine speech,temperedthroughoutwitha deepveinofhumour,andwhenheat lastrelinquishedthefloortoBishop Foley,popularacclamationknewno bounds.Heveryskilfullypassedon adiscussionoftheNewCathedralto Dr.Foley,whojustasskilfullypalmed itontoBishopBarry.whotriedwithoutsuccesstofoistitontoDean Crowley.
