Tongan Missionaries

From Our Own Correspondent

Nukualofa, Oct. 20.

'T'WO young Tongans, Jione Afu and Isikeli Hau’ofa, ex-students of the Methodist Theological School at Nafualu, are on their way with their wives to Sydney, whence they will proceed, one to New Guinea and the other to the Solomons, where they will be engaged as missionaries by the Methodist Mission.

Another young Tongan missionary, Meleke Fonua, accompanied by his wife, left here in the early part of the year to join the Methodist Mission at New Guinea, where he is reported to be

giving excellent service. There are also others who hope to go out and work in these missionary fields in the near future.

It is pleasing to see these young people aspire to the high examples of “service for others” set by the great Tongan mis sionaries of the past, like Jioeli Bulu, of Fiji, and Semisi Nau, of Lua-Niua (Ong tong Java), who, by their unswerving zeal and devotion to duty, have set the hall-mark of fame on their names, but gained the admiration of all Christians.

Mr. D. W. Amos, manager of the Pacific Insurance Co., at Suva, left for Melbourne by the Mariposa on October 26. He was accompanied by Mrs. Amos.
