Dedicate New Church of California Redwood

With the coming of June and winter to the island Nauru, south of Melbourne, Australia, a congregation of 1,00O natives gathered to dedicate the new church of California Redwood constructed by the Reverend C. L. Welch of the London Missionary Society. To the handsome bellrey ol the new structure they moved the bell from the old church, which had fallen prey to the dreaded giant white ant.

Searching for the proper material for the new church, Reverend Welch used as his guide the technical bulletin, "California Redwood and Its IJses," published in 1937 by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, which said: t'Termites, commonly called white ants, are the most destructive enemies of wood. The heartwood of California Redwood contains certain elements which are believed to impart to the wood the characteristics of a natural preservative, making it one of the most termite-resistant woods produced in the United States. This is verified by actual tests conducted by the Bureau of Entomology of the United .States Department of Agriculture."

After consultation with John Sharp & Sons, Ltd., timber merchants of Melbourne, Reverend Welch placed an order for more than 50,000 lineal feet of redwood timbers, all to be pre-fabricated and erected first in Melbourne. Each fabricated piece was numbered and then dismantled into approximately 1000 sections for shipment to the island site. There unskilled natives, under the direction of missionaries, put the sections into place and within three months the complete structure was in use.

The building is of Gothic architecture in cruciform. Its general measurements are 110 by 8O feet, with a seating capacity for the entire congregation of 1000 souls.

Because ventilation is one of the chief problems in church attendance on the island. more than 40 louvred Gothic windows were placed in the structure, plus six inch ventilation

vents between the concrete foundations and the redwood. Every precaution was taken to eliminate the hazard of termites.
