MELANESIAN MISSION OFFERTORY An advertisement in another column reminds Anglican Church people that the offertories at all Church of England services to-morrow will to on behalf of the Melanesian Mission. The income of the mission at present does not allow the Bishop to undertake work in certain islands in the Northern Solomons, which are asking for mission workers. In many ways, too. the work of the mission is being handicapped through lack of funds. As the mission is a growing one it requires a larger income each year. The Bishop of Wellington has appealed to the different parishes in his diocese to make their offertory a record one. Parishioners unable to he at church are asked to send their donations either to their vicar, or to the secretary of the Board of Missions, Ballance Street, Wellington.
