Jubilee Of "Missionary

Review"

WITH its issue of June 5, the “Mission ary Review” (which is produced by the Methodist Church of Australasia in the interests of its missionary enter prises in Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Papua, New Britain, North Australia and India) com pleted 50 years of continuous publication.

This is a remarkable achievement in the publishing field. An even more remarkable achievement in missionary enterprise and devotion is disclosed by an examination of the “Review” over a period of 50 years. When the journal was established, in 1891, the number of worshippers in the mission churches was 114,807; to-day, it is 230,201.

The “Missionary Review”, edited so ably and vigorously by Rev. J. W. Bur ton, has considerable interest for non missionary folk, as a record of events in the Pacific territories, and its pages are frequently used as a source of news by the “PIM”. We hope that its next 50 years will be even more useful and profitable.
