MISSIONARY RETURNS
■ Seven years as a missionary in- Southern Rhodesia have been spentby Mrs. M. E. Mansill, who-returned'today by the Maunganui from Sydney on furlough. Mrs. Mansill has been working among the Kalanga and Matabele negroes at a Church of Christ mission station 150 miles from Bulawayb.
Interviewed,, she' said' that the" mission was supported entirely'by ; New Zealand,- and the' four ■ white people who conducted it were New Zealanders. In fact, it could be' described, as an outpost of' New' Zealand. The natives amongst whom she worked were not at present very advanced and a great deal of the mission work was concerned with their education. The Government had set aside large native reserves, where the natives still maintained much of their own customs and mode of life. ,
