p. 145 · Read in the full issue
Ela Beach Road in Port Moresby, which already rivals some other more famous Pacific Islands roads in beauty now has a new church completed recently by the Seventh Day Adventist Mission. It is built on old Spanish Mission lines and is painted in pastel colours. It was erected by the Mission staff at a cost of £3,000.
Chief Justice F. B. Phillips, of P-NG, officially opened the church at the end of September.
Several SDA Pastors from Australia, New Guinea and the United States took part in the opening: ceremonies. The Rev.
D. E. Ure, of the London Missionary Society, also assisted.
From a small beginning in 1908, the SDA Mission has spread throughout Papua from the Dutch border along the coast to the New Guinea border, and inland to the Highlands of New Guinea.
