A Then and Now Story
p. 32 · Read in the full issue
BEFORE the advent of the first missionaries to Mussau Island, in the St. Matthias Group, north of New Ireland, the natives were reported to be depressed, disinterested and in danger of starvation.
Recently, however, Mr. T. F. Judd, resident Seventh-day Adventist missionary there, told the people of the United Nations Appeal for the starving children of Europe* so they decided to participate in this. Some made copra, others col lected shell, and when the cash was counted it was found to amount to £l3O.
The oldest man on the island was the greatest individual giver. His donation was £l5.
