This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ... Arrival of Missionaries--Admittance to Bau refused--Congress of Chiefs--Namosimalua professes Christianity -- U.S. Exploring Expedition-- War and Treachery. ^Mr *5£ MIDST these scenes of warfare and cruelty, Sj| ijflft % the great event which had been so eagerly ^P,■*TM^ desired by the late Mara took place. ~> ;5\_ The Christians of Great Britain sent missionaries to Fiji, to bring over its blood-thirsty population to a knowledge of that God who is the author of peace and lover of concord.

These noble pioneers each felt that two points of attack on the strongholds of Satan would be preferable to one. Some may talk now of "the dangers of solitude," and of the necessity of "preserving our men;" but so did not our veteran fathers. Had they not counted the cost, and were they unwilling to pay the reckoning ? To accomplish the end of their mission, they must separate. For our four-score inhabited islands are scattered wide, whilst Eastern and Western Fiji are also geographically distinct groups. Besides, the object of dread in Eastern Fiji was the principal western power, Bau; and to neglect it was most impolitic. The last remnant of civilization was, therefore, cheerfully abandoned ; and these two men of faith surrendered the comforts of educated society, that they might effectually do the work to which God had called them. Bau being, with regard to rank and influence, at the head of the whole group, it was Mr. Cross's intention to commence a mission there, if...

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
