The Work Goes On

Most South Pacific missionaries, with quiet heroism, have refused (except when ordered away by naval and militarv authorities) to leave the natives whom they have educated and protected. They have preferred the risk of imprisonment, and worse . . . The Bishop of Melanesia (still carrying on somewhere in the Central Pacific, despite enemy occupation of the Solomons), recently sent this party of selected Solomons and ISTew Hebrides natives to Australia, en route to New Zealand and Fiji. Two wentjto Te Aute College, New Zealand; the others have gone to Fiji and have been distributed between the Native Medical School, Queen Victoria School, and the Wireless’ School
