New Britain

From a Special Correspondent.

RABAUL, March 24.

Extension of Anglican mission work by the establishment of a central training in stitution is proposed for the New Britain South Coast, as a result of the recent visit by the Bishop of Melanesia in the M.V.

“Southern Cross.”

No doubt, some of the £70,000 legacy left to the Australian Board of Missions by Mrs. Canon Hughes, of Melbourne, will be made available for this new institution.

Since the Vunapope Mission (Catholic), the Anglican, and now (it is rumoured) the Seventh Day Adventists, are working along the South Coast, there will soon occur the tragedy of religious divisions amongst these never-very-homogeneous native people.
