The Rev. Mo Pui Sam
THE Rev. Mo Pui Sam who left Hong Kong in 1940 to become pastor to the Chinese Methodist Community in Rabaul, NG, has now taken up work per manently with the Presbyterian Church in Sydney.
The Methodist Mission Review says of him:— “In China he had graduated not only from a Theological College but also from a Teachers’ Training College, and he came to us with fine credentials as a youth leader, Scout Master and ambulance worker. He had been in the work at Rabaul only 18 months at the time of the Japanese invasion. During the war years he was with the rest of the Rabaul Chinese community in special camps under supervision. Not only was he a source of much help to his people because of his medical knowledge, but also for the ministeries of comfort and encourage ment which he brought to them.
“In 1948 he was granted furlough for 12 months to return to Hong Kong, but while waiting in Sydney he received a cablegram to say that his wife had died two months previously. He sought per mission to remain in Australia and over tures were made to us from the Presby terian Church to allow him to carry on their work in Sydney during part of his furlough. To this we willingly agreed.”
