THE "TWO BROTHERS" LENT TO MELANESIA.
Moffat Ohigita and Albert Lobu, members of the Melanesian Brotherhood, arrived m Sydney from the Solomon Islands by the S.S. "Mataram" on August 19th, on their way to Fiji. They sailed by the S.S. "Karetu" on the 24th. Moffat, with Dudley Bale, another of the Melanesian Brothers, returned to the Solomons from Suva only a few months ago, but the Bishop m Polynesia found them such a valuable aid to his work among the Melanesians m his Diocese that he has arranged with the Bishop of Melanesia for two of the Brothers to give a further term of service. Dudley Bale is now preparing for ordination, so his place is being taken by Albert. Two natives from the New Hebrides will be passing through Sydney m September, ori their way to the Solomon Islands, as additional recruits to the Native Brotherhood. They were due m Sydney on September 11th, and will proceed to the Solomons with the Bishop on September 30th.
