Letter to the Editor.
SURELY Homer was nodding when the P.I.M. for March declared on page 56 that “the first two Papuans to be ac cepted for the Christian ministry were admitted as candidates for training,” etc.
Your contributor is losing sight of the fact that for many years past a number of native Papuans have been working in the Anglican Mission, under Bishop New ton, as ordained clergymen in the Chris tian ministry. Presumably your corres pondent intended to say that these are the first two Papuans to be accepted for
the Christian ministry as far as the Methodist organisation is concerned, but he .does not convey this idea.
