The New Printing-Office

By C. H. Parker

SABBATH evening the workers and students gathered in the new press building at Buresala, Fiji.
The large new printing-press, paper-cutter, and type-stand, the cases well filled with new type, and the paper and book cupboard had all been placed in position. By the side of the large press was placed our small hand-press, which was the beginning of our publishing work in Fiji. This small press was used on this occasion for the writer’s pulpit, and also for his text, “Despise not the day of small things.”
As we looked at the large press, new type, paper-cutter, and other conveniences, we were all convinced that God has a wider field for our publishing work in Fiji; and that from this time on, more will be expected of this branch of the work than ever before.
We are often accosted by Europeans with the words, “When will you have some meetings for the Europeans?” When we explain that our present number of workers will not allow us to leave the native work, they ask, “Are the natives better than the Europeans?” We long for the time to come when work can be done for the Europeans.
