A Samoan Paper

By Frances N. Waugh

SINCE our last Australasian Union Conference, another monthly paper has been begun for our field, this time in the language of Samoa. When we consider the population of that group who read and write in the Samoan language, we feel that seven hundred fifty copies to scatter among forty thousand natives are as but a drop in the ocean. But we thank our Heavenly Father that he has given us the privilege of making a beginning. If we sow in faith and with prayer and supplication, we know that he who fed the five thousand by the shores of Galilee is able to feed the people of Samoa with the papers now sent out.

As you look at the map and study our mission field, you will find that with the list of island papers now being printed, we can reach the whole of the people in Polynesia, including, of course, the Maori people of New Zealand. Our thoughts turn toward the unentered islands in Melanesia and Micronesia, and we hope that erelong we shall see some of our workers on their way to carry the message to these fields.

The work is onward. Our courage is good, and we praise the Lord for his goodness and love.
