Suva Vou, Fiji

By A. G. STEWART

Another quarter has gone, and in making up the quarterly reports one naturally reviews the work of the past three months. During this time we have been enabled to travel a good deal more than we could previously, as we now have our own auxiliary boat. Since the beginning of the month of June, we have covered about one thousand miles, and one third of this distance has been over the open sea. The boat, though a little small for open-sea work, has done well, and the engine has given us no trouble. It has been a great comfort to be able to go when and where we desire.

Elder J. M. Cole spent two weeks with us on his way to Samoa and Tonga, and while he was here, we were able definitely to decide some matters that had been under consideration for some time. We have decided that instead of having two or three small European cottages at Buresala, we shall have one large, comfortable mission house, with a detached store and office. The press building will be very suitable for the latter. The work of reconstruction is now well started.

Nine or ten persons have accepted the truth during the past quarter, and six of these have been baptized. This makes about thirty who have been added to the church by baptism during the present year.

Next month we expect to call our native workers together for our annual workers’ meeting, which will last just one week. They look forward to these gatherings, and we believe it is time well spent. We sincerely request the readers of the REVIEW to pray that we may each be given power from above to go forth to finish the work of the Lord in this field.
