p. 29 · Read in the full issue
THE outbreak of an influenza epidemic at Salamo, Eastern Papua, has been responsible for the death of several native mission workers there.
Among them was Sunema, who, with her husband, Polonga, had worked in Papua with the Methodist Missionary Society since 1915. She was a native of Falealili, Samoa, and commenced her mission work in the Solomon Islands, nearly 30 years ago. Sunema won the affection of all who knew her.
She was a most proficient teacher, and conducted both day and Sunday schools for the mission.
