LAU DISTRICT.—The work is making progress in the Lau District, the eastern section of this group. You will be glad to hear that we now have a memorial in Mualevu, the town near which we live. A neat little building, thirty by sixteen feet, has been erected, and enclosed by a fence. The roof is of corrugated iron, the walls are of reeds, and the floor is of boards. The cost was fifty-five pounds. The brethren have paid nearly thirteen pounds; the rest devolves upon us.
The occasion of entering the new church building was a glad one. We had a union quarterly meeting. On Sabbath morning after Sabbath-school, the whole company walked a mile to a quiet spot beside a little stream. Our songs of praise ascended to the Lord, and new love and courage were awakened in each heart as one more followed the Lord in baptism. All nature seemed rejoicing. A few of the townfolk were there.
The brethren at Cikobia, an island near by, have started their house of worship. It was decided to have it ready to dedicate by the next quarterly meeting. The truth is slowly but surely taking root. MRS. C. H. PARKER.
