MELANESIAN MISSION
CLERGYMAN'S TOUR The Rev. Dr. P. A. Micklem returned to Sydney on September 18 from a three weeks' tour of the Solomon Islands, which he made on board the mission vessel Southern Cross at the invitation of the Bishop of Melanesia, Dr. Baddeley. Accompanied by Mrs. Micklem, he visited all the Melanesian Mission stations in the Solomons for ,the purpose of gaining an insight into missionary problems and administration. Dr. Micklem said that he had travelled on the Southern Cross with the bishop, who covered the Solomon Islands section of the huge diocese extending from New Guinea to Norfolk Island. He had had excellent opportunities of studying the educational and medical work which was being done by the Melanesian Mission, and his visit had been extremely interesting.
