SOLOMON ISLANDS
MISSIONARY EFFORTS “Our work is really tlie salvation of the race. Already the people in pur mission district have taken a new lease of life and are on the up-grade in every way, and, as they were the leaders in the bad old days, they realise that they must lead in the new and living way,’’ said Mr. Frank Thompson, presenting tlie report on foreign missions to the Methodist Synod in Christchurch. Mr. Thompson said the Methodist. Church had a obligation to the Solomon Islands district, as tlie Church bad asked for tlie area from Australia. Since the Church had taken over the mission great things had been done in spiritual, social and medical work. Tlie people were taking an ever-increasing measure of responsibility upon themselves, but must of necessity depend on the Church in New Zealand for many years, and the Church must not fail them. The world depression had hit them perhaps harder than it had hit any other part of the world, and yet they were bearing up bravely against great odds.
