Apia, Dec. 9.
THE foundation stone of the new Anglican Church at the foot of Vaea Mountain, Western Samoa,
was laid by the Administrator, Mr. A. C.
Turnbull, on Sunday, December 3. It was the 50th anniversary of the passing of Robert Louis Stevenson, to whose memory the church is to be erected, and whose burial place is located high up on the same mountain.
The ceremony was attended by a repre sentative gathering of Europeans and Samoans. The Hon. Mataafa spoke in Samoan, in appreciation of the immortal “Tusitala,” who had been so greatly loved by Samoans.
