Bishop Wade
Takes Useful Film to U.S.A. and Europe
MR. THOMAS WADE, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church in the Northem Solomon Islands, has been responsible for the display in Australia of a cinema film which has aroused much interest. It presents the remarkable story of the work of the missionaries in the Pacific Islands and the conditions which they face when they go to those places. It is aptly called “Saints and Savages,” and no more effective propaganda could be devised to show the value pf the work of the missionaries. The film, in a technical sense, is quite an excellent production.
Wade left Sydney by the Mariposa on March 6 for America and he will then go on to Europe, and will visit the Pope in Rome. He is taking with him this notable film and intends to display it in many places. It will accomplish more than a dozen volumes in describing the work that Bishop Wade is doing in the South Seas.
Incidentally Dr Wade will visit his birthplace (Providence, Rhode Is., U.S.A.) where his father died at the end of February.
