Death Of Well-Known

Missionary

A FORMER well-known missionary of Fiji, the Rev. R. L. McDonald, recently died suddenly in Australia.

He went to Fiji in 1910 and gave 26 years of outstanding service to the Methodist Mission there, until his retire ment to home work in Australia, in 1936.

For a period at the end of World War I, he was in Europe as Chaplain and a YMCA secretary; in 1920 he returned to Fiji to continue his missionary work.

In 1924 he was elected to the Fiji Dis trict chairmanship—in which capacity he served until his retirement from the Colony.

He is survived by a wife and several daughters.

Miss D. Rogerson, of the Methodist Mission, has, after 10 months, reached her station in Fiji.
