French Oceania
From Our Own Correspondent Papeete, August 20.
THE General Assembly of the Protest ant Church in French Oceania held its annual convocation during Aug ust, at Papeete. Every island of every archipelago in the Colony is represented by pastors or deacons.
The state of the Church in Oceania is very good indeed. Not only the elders but seriously-minded, educated men and women of the younger generation have become aware that the real values lie in a return to the customs of their grandfathers, which centred on the social as well as the religious life of the community in the district church and church meeting houses.
The handsome, solidly built church edifices which have been completed, or are in course of construction throughout the Colony, are visible evidences of this return to ancestral custom.
