Greetings from British New Guinea

Too late for greeting the brethren before the week of prayer comes the following message from Brother S. W. Carr, of Australia, in charge of the mission in British New Guinea: “Greetings from this outpost of heathenism. God has given us the victory, as for the first time we now have some students that who have decided to work three hours daily for the mission on account of school privileges. The rest of the day, outside of school hours, they will work in their own gardens. Previously we have always had to pay regular wages. We rejoice that these three lads are beginning to appreciate school and industrial training. It was good also to see ten boys from four days’ journey inland come down by themselves to work here for a year. Labor on the plantations near by is so scarce that recruiters of labor receive four pounds for each boy. We praise the Lord as we see his Spirit working on heathen hearts. Pray for New Guinea.”
