p. 97 · Read in the full issue

rpHE building of an Anglican cathedral JL in Suva, for which there is a fund of £16,000 available, will probably begin late this year, the Rt. Rev. L, S. Kemp thorne, Bishop in Polynesia informed “New Zealand Herald” in June.

The cathedral would be built in con crete on the site of the old Government building near the heart of Suva, acquired ten years ago. The cathedral would be completed in stages, beginning with the chancel.

“We shall erect the shell and leave it to posterity to complete the ornamenta tion,” said the bishop. There would be pews for about 300 worshippers.
