21 local preachers, colporters and evange- lists. Last year the Fiji Christians con- tributed twenty-five thousand dollars to Foreign Missions, while some of the sons and daughters of those former cannibals are to-day doing missionary work in lands that lie beyond the borders of their own islands. But still further to strengthen certain conclusions we hope to reach, you will pardon us for cahing attention to another group bearing the name of Her- vey Islands. They, too, have an inter- esting, a...lmost romantic, history. They are beautiful islands, one of their num- ber on account of the picturesqueness and magnificence of its mountain peaks and the rich productiveness of its valleys, is called the "Queen of the South Seas. " The natives of those islands originally were utterly depraved, given over to cannibalism and savage warfare in which more than once the entire population was nearly exterminated. In 1823 the Rev. John Williams visit- ed this Hervey group and began his work. In 1889, by invitation of the 23 "MANIFEST DESTINY" FROM chiefs and people, a British Protectorate was proclaimed, and those islanders un- der English guardianship and under the influences of protestant Christian civiU- zation, soon abandoned their heathen idolatry.
