Australia
A SOLOMON ISLAND pastor, Sasa Rore, of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission in BSI, visited Melbourne in January, to be present at a 10 days’ session of the Victorian Conference of Seventh Day Adventists.
Billed by the popular press as “an island chief, son of a headhunter,” he received considerable publicity. His rea son for coming to Australia was to thank Australia and the other Allies for the help they gave the Solomons during the war and for assisting in mission work there.
Rore was chief printer at the mission as well as pastor at the time of the Jap invasion of the Solomons. When the European missionaries were evacua ted he carried on as head of the mis sion, and was responsible for more than 20 stations.
He speaks English; but, while in Vic toria, he addressed meetings through Pastor J. D. Anderson, also of the SDA Mission in BSI.
