discription: The Church Building Program….schools and houses of worship rising on enchanting isles…Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Tahiti, Cook Islands, besides New Zealand and Australia. The scope of the program parallels the far-flung area it embraces: a temple, five large and several small schools, a hundred and fifty chapels or more, numerous dwellings for teachers and missionaries and several mission homes. Costing millions of dollars, the Program is an operational triumph. It has called hundreds of Maori, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Tahitian, and Hawaiian boys on a special mission, with experienced builders from the center stakes as their teachers and guides. It has taught many of them English and all of them a trade. Their mission finished, they have returned home qualified for religious and community leadership, with a potential for good that is incalculable. Yet, the Building Program is more than a construction operation—it is a spiritual phenomenon. It reflects a genius for organization and administration which has done marvels with unpaid, untrained labor. It is a far-flung force, guided by divine inspiration and powered by the humble, steadfast, indomitable faith of the selfless men and women who carry it on. The Program has produced a network of new chapels and mission buildings integrated with a system of modern schools. Coordination them, it merges education and religion into a spiritual force of immeasurable scope and power.
