Fiji

I EXPECTED to be able to make a trip to Colo and Ra between our council in June and our laborers' council, which is to be held here about August 5; but storm and calm delayed the “Cina” in returning from taking our brethren to their homes in Vanua Levu and Lau. This time has not been lost, however, as there are always a great many things to see to in a mission field, where one is away from headquarters so much of the time. Our girls' home is now completed, and the first nine girls are safely housed in it.

This place was set apart to the work of the Lord on the twenty-fifth of this month. We spent a very enjoyable time together, and a number took part in the exercises. We all rejoice for this advance step that the work is taking in Fiji, and feel that it will have far-reaching effects upon the work for this people. A number of other girls will soon be added to the present attendance. We ask the prayers of one and all in behalf of this school. Other denominations have tried to conduct a girls' school, and have failed. We believe that there is power in the third angel's message to make this work a success for the girls as well as for the boys.

Just a few days, and we shall be welcoming Brother and Sister J. E. Fulton, also Brother and Sister C. J. Cole and family. We are glad that we shall have their counsel and experience to help us broaden our work here. We shall have some items of interest to report after their visit.
