Melanesian Mission Carries On

RIGHT Rev. W. H. Baddeley, Bishop of Melanesia, two mission doctors and six church sisters are still carrying on their work for the natives on one of the islands of the Solomons.

Bishop Baddeley, who won the DSO and the MC and Bar, in the First World War, led his party into the jungle when the Japanese invaded the Tulagi area of the Solomons area last May, and they have remained there ever since. Latest reports are that they are “all well.”

Mrs. R. J. Thompson, wife of Archdeacon Thompson, recently arrived in Australia from New Guinea, and is now residing in Melbourne.
