MISSIONARY’S WORK
SECRETARY FOR NATIVE AFFAIRS VISITOR FROM SAMOA It is not often that an official administration appeals to a church for a man to fill a responsible posi* t’ion; yet this was done three years ago in Samoa. And thus it is that a Methodist minister, the Rev. F. G. Lewis, holds the title of Secretary for Native Affairs in Samoa. This morning Mr. Lewis returned from Sydney on the Ulimaroa. He has been spending four months’ furlough in Australia and will sail for the Islands by the Tofua on Saturday. “I am unable to comment upon Samoan affairs to-day because I have been out of touch during my holiday,*’ he told a Sun man. “I have not yet seen the report of the recent commission. Things seem to be settling down, but the task is by no means finished.” Mr. Lewis, who describes himself as “being on loan from the Methodist Mission.” has been in Samoa for the past nine years. He took over his I'resent duties on the death, about three years ago, of the previous Secretary for Native Affairs.
