Mormon Church Grows In Islands
THE Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, with 10,645 missionaries throughout the world, is working out a big building plan in the Islands and elsewhere, re ports Mission President Howard B.
Stone, of Western Samoa.
In Samoa, 12 chapels and three schools have been built in the last three years, and a new high school and four more chapels will be built this year. A costly schoolhouse has been built in Tonga, and this year new chapels will be built in the Cook Is. If suitable land can be bought in Fiji, chapels will be built there.
In Hawaii, 2,000,000 dollars is be ing spent on a new school building, and a big new college is being built at Hamilton, NZ.
The report adds: “Not a penny is being taken away from the Islands.
The buildings are all financed from the tithes of members throughout the world, and labour is contributed by church adherents. The 10,645 missionaries work without pay and are financed by themselves or their families.”
