Native Pastors Are

Carrying On

LMS headquarters in Sydney report that remarkably good work is being done by their South Seas assistant ministers in Papua. In spite of the hard ships and strains imposed by the war, and without the help of resident Euro pean missionaries, they nevertheless are standing to their posts, and are doing much to help the morale of the natives.

Aseti leremia writes that he is conduct ing a school “somewhere in the interior,” and that many school children are com ing up from the coast.

Rev. P. Chatterton, LMS missionary in Papua, recently wrote that he had just completed a fortnight’s journey through eastern Papua and Motuan evacuee camps. Native morale was excellent everywhere, and he felt satisfied with the way teachers and church members were facing up to wartime difficulties.
