Seas Mission
AT the annual meeting of the South Sea Islands Evangelical Mission in Sydney on May 28, two German missionaries, Sister Elizabeth Schraeder and Sister Anna were present. They came from Friedeushurst and spent five months in Britain learning to speak English.
Dr. Deck, who presided, said the mission was inter-denominational, and had its beginnings among the kanakas in Queens land 50 years ago. Work had been carried on in the Solomon Islands for 30 years.
Thirty white missionaries and more than 300 native teachers worked without pay.
Mr. Alan Neal said that nearly all the work was done by native teachers, who practised extraordinary self-denial.
