Melbourne from Suva at the end of March, there arrived Rev. C. 0. Le lean, who has just retired from the Chairmanship of the Fiji Methodist Mission after having given nearly 35 years of service in the Colony. He has reached the age limit and has relin quished active work in the mission field after having most successfully directed Methodist affairs in Fiji for many years.
Entering the ministry in Tasmania, he was in charge of various circuits there for 10 years and was then appointed to Fiji, in 1902. For 32 years he served con spicuously at Bua, Nailaga, Ba, and Davuilevu, and then returned to Aus tralia for two years to recoup his lost health. In 1936 he went back to Suva as District Chairman for a two years’ term.
Mr. Lelean’s successor in Fiji will be Rev. William Green, who will reach Suva from Australia in May. The latter has already served the Methodist Church in Fiji, having been stationed at Rewa and Levuka.
