p. 106 · Read in the full issue

Prom a Special Correspondent AT long last the Church of England is able to re-establish itself in Rabaul.

The new rectory on the old site in Malaguna Road is taking shape. The roof was expected to go on in early April and the whole thing should be completed sometime in May.

The Rev. Mr. Gibson who was in charge of Anglican affairs here for a period about 20 years ago has offered to come to Rabaul for a year. At present he has a parish in Tasmania. He has applied for a year’s furlough and will spend it getting things on their feet here.

He and his daughter will come up as soon as work on the new rectory is completed.
