THE Methodist Missionary Society of New Zealand cele brated its Golden Jubilee in the Solomons on May 23—50 years from the day when the Rev. John F. Goldie and the Rev. S. R.
Rooney landed at Roviana, New Georgia, to establish the first mission station in the area. The mission now numbers 8 European Ministers, a doctor, 17 European Sisters, and several hundred native teachers and preachers. There are 209 Methodist churches in the Solo mons.
To attend the Jubilee, a party of ten prominent church leaders left NZ by air early May.
Although the Rev. John F.
Goldie has been ill in Melbourne in recent months, he has shown a considerable improvement in health and hoped to attend the BSI cele bration in person.
