AN INTREPID MISSIONARY.
AN INTERESTING CAREER. Australian-N.Z. Cabin Association Sydney, April 9. Obituary—Dr. George Brown, president of Australasian General Methodist Coiiference. Dr. Brown died in his sleep from influenza in his eighty-second year. The death ends a career of one-of the most famous, intrepid and successful pioneer missionaries of Hie southern seas. He was a world-wide authority upon Polynesian ethnology and habits, and leaves a unique and invaluable collection of island curios and bibliography. His biographies recall that when after a few years of ministerial work in New Zealand he offered himself as a missionary objection was raised that he was meek and mild and too ladylike a young person, and therefore hardly suitable for the mission field, a strange commentary in view of his long and perilous life in the forefront of battle against savagery.
