For Fiji

From Our Own Correspondent

Suva, May 3.

THE latest Methodist Missionary Re view states that a big building pro gramme is planned lor the mission in Fiji. These plans include the building of the Centennial Church to replace the Jubilee Church, in Suva. Shortages of materials will probably delay the work for a considerable time.

The Review records that in 1947, £92,116 was spent in the mission districts. Of this £12,152 was expenditure in connec tion with the Fijian Church, and £9,325 was spent on work among the Indians in Fiji. This was in addition to £50,900 spent in the mission districts from funds raised in those districts. Of this sum £30,248 was found by the Fijians and £13,571 by Indians.
