MISSION work occupied the time of the delegates at the Seventh Day Adven tist Conference in Sydney on August 30.
Pastor A. G. Stewart, who recently visited the Mandated Territory of New Guinea, re ported on the work now being carried on in the inland mountain areas.
A new mission station was established a short while ago at Ramu, 6000 f- above sea-level. A number of Solomon Island teachers, trained at Batuna, are carrying on the work among the Ramu natives, under the supervision of a white mis
sionary. The sole means of communica tion between Ramu and the coast is by aeroplane.
Pastor Stewart spoke of native tribes hitherto untouched by any mission body, and the mission board of the conference discussed plans for sending - additional workers among - them.
The conference had under consideration an extensive building programme, which would require about £15,000 to carry out.
Mr. Brian Lane, of Edie Creek, New Guinea, was married on July 30 at Sala maua to Miss Joan Kerr, of Wau.
