From Our Own Correspondent

Rarotonga, Aug. 9.

'p'Oß 39 years a resident of Rarotonga, Mrs. S. Shearman, passed away on July 27, aged 79 years.

Mrs, Shearman, who had been in ill health for some time, was well-known for her readiness to help those in less for tunate circumstances and it would indeed be hard to calculate the number whom she unobtrusively assisted in time of sickness or adversity during the last quarter of a century. The largely attended funeral took place in the L.M.S. grounds in Avarua.

Pastor W. N. Lock, of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission in Papua, arrived in Sydney by the August Macdhui on a two months’ business visit. He is stationed at Merigeda.

Mr. Marc T. Greene, world wandering American pressman, writes to the Editor from Cork, Ireland, to ask about old friends in Samoa. He still is hoping to arrive in Tahiti at an early date. The last half dozen letters we have received from Marc T. Green were headed respec tively—Buenos Aires, Norfolk (Virginia), Bucharest, Marseilles, Brussels, Cork.
