Repayment

THE Australian Board of Missions has received, through the Melbourne “Herald,” a cheque for ten guineas.

This amount was given by a “Herald” reader in appreciation of the work done by Papuans for Allied soldiers and air men. As the boys were mostly mission trained, this reader considered that the best method of repaying the debt Aus tralia owes to these natives was to help rebuild the mission stations which have been destroyed. He hoped that his lead would be followed by others.

Gift To Abm

The secretary of the ABM (the Rev. M.

A. Warren), has received a gift of a complete set of medical instruments from a medical friend of the Board, to be used in a mission hospital in Papua when it is rebuilt. The donor wishes to remain anonymous, but the motive is two-fold: to replace some of the valuable equip ment that has been lost, and to com memorate those missionaries who have given their lives during the war.
