Anglican Church At Lae, Ng

AT long last the Anglican Community has been granted a site for a church in the new township of Lae. It is hoped to erect a memorial church on this site soon; but, in the mean-time the Anglicans are “accommodated” in what was once a United States Army Post Office, kindly loaned by a supporter.

The roof is in a very bad condition, so that there are always puddles of water on the floor during rainy weather. The resident priest, the Rev. W. Moren, sleeps in that part of the building that is most fit for habitation.

The Ladies Guild have done and are doing much to help in the erection of the new church. The treasurer is Mr.

A. Jameson, of the Bank of New South Wales, Lae.

The photograph published herewith shows the building, as it is now being

used. It will be remembered that the Rev. Mr. Moren, several months ago, published a very strong-worded protest against the way in which the New Guinea Government had muddled about, for years, with, his application for a permanent site for a church.
