42 Years' Mission Service
p. 36 · Read in the full issue
rE Rev. C. E. Fox, of the Melanesian Mission has just completed 42 years of service in the Solomons. Re cently, he has been isolated on Malaita and out of touch with other Europeans and the outside world.
Furlough, which is due to him, has been flatly rejected. His reasons are: (1) the difficulty of obtaining a passage; and (2) that “if he went out he might not be able to get back.” Therefore, he intends to stay at his post indefinitely. He appears to be well and happy, and states that he is making progress with his Lau dic tionary of 12,000 words.
