Honiara, July 24.
THE whole of the Melanesian Mission’s' staff at Bunana, a small island Mis sion Station near Tulagi in thee British Solomon Islands, has asked fon instruction to be admitted into thee Roman Catholic Church. Eleven of themn left Bunana towards the end of July fori the Roman Catholic Mission Station att Visale, on the Guadalcanal Coast, wheree they will receive a course of instruction..!
Two Europeans will remain at Bunanae until the Anglican Bishop, the Rt. Rev..’
S. G. Caulton, returns to the Protectorates so that they can carry out whatever direc tions he may give regarding the dispo sition of the school for native girls whichc has been maintained at Bunana. Aften Bishop Caulton’s return, these two re maining teachers will join the rest ofl the staff at Visale.
Bunana Mission staff includes Mothen Margaret and Sister Gwen of the Cross, ; e both of whom have worked in the Solo mons for many years and are well knownn there. Their loss will be a considerable 9 blow to the Melanesian Mission in thes Solomons.
