Annual Meeting of L.M.S. in Samoa.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Apia, May 20.
THE yearly London Mission Society meeting is in progress at Malua at time of writing, and large numbers of natives have gathered from all parts of Upolu and Savaii, as well as from Tutuila, to take part in the proceedings.
The participation seems, however, not to be as strong as in preceding years. Financial contributions are col lected at the meeting, and the expen diture for school and mission work is discussed.
Many of the members of the church, however, have refrained from attend ing, owing to shortage of means, caused by the low copra price and the unpro fitable banana shipments. It may be safely predicted that the revenue of the London Mission Society will suffer ac cordingly.
