Church.
Sent to Solomon Islands in 203 Crates.
WHEN the “Mataram” left Sydney for the Solomons on September 14, she carried a complete church, to be erected at the port of Fui, and two carpenters, who will supervise the erection of the building.
The church, packed in 203 crates, was brought from Melbourne to Syd ney on the B.P. steamer “Marella”, and is the gift of Mr. Alfred C. Sage, of Clifton Hill, as a memorial to his son, the Rev. Charles C. Sage, who lost his life in the service of the South Sea Mission 19 years ago.
The church, when erected, will be 85 feet long and 58 feet wide, and will be the largest church in the Pacific Islands.
