Native Fijian Choir from the Jubilee Church, followed by a 'short address in Fijian by the Rev. Chairman, who will then translate the address into English. The choir is one of the chief "sights" of Suva to visitors, their singing being most beautiful, the effect of the deep organlike tones of the men being a glorious harmony in itself.
