THE BISHOP OF MELANESIA.
On September 11th, the Bishop of Melanesia arrived m Sydney from the New Hebrides, on his way back to the headquarters of his Diocese at Siota. The loss of the "Southern Cross," m November last, made necessary this roundabout way of visiting the southern part of the Diocese, but when the new ship arrives towards the end of the year the more remote centres will be more accessible. The Bishop is to sail from Brisbane on October 2nd, the period" of three weeks between being used for a strenuous tour of deputation work m Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. The Bishop wrote, "Pack as much as you can into those three weeks." It was hoped that a visit as far afield as Perth and Bunbury could also have been arranged, but the most careful drawing up of a programme left insufficient room on this occasion. However, the Bishop is most anxious to meet friends of Melanesia m every part of the Commonwealth, and centres not visited will not be forgotten on a future occasion.
