Fiji

By J. E. Fulton

Suva.—I am very glad to be back in Fiji, and am so well again that I trust the Lord will use me to the forwarding of the work in this group of islands. This is a very interesting center, and promises to become a very important one from which to work the islands farther to the westward, some of which are as yet in abject heathenism. We hope to have a school here that will develop native missionaries for the other islands.

Fiji has a large representative class of Polynesians. This is due largely to the imported labor for the sugar and other industries carried on here. We have not been able to bring any of these other natives into the truth as yet. We are in hopes, however, that as we make special efforts for them, we may see some rejoice in the message for these times, and in turn become workers for their people in their own islands.

Mrs. Fulton is very much improved in health, and has been doing what she could to assist here during the past two months. Our children are well, and delighted to be again with the natives, and seem desirous of imparting to them what they learned at our good school at Cooranbong.

Miss Guilliard, who has been with us ever since we have been in Fiji, has come back with us, and is working in the printing-office. J. E. FULTON.
