There is group Of Islands few days
sail from the Sandwich Islands which
contain some fifty thousand inhabitants.
We learn from the late Pacific News
that they have been visited, and estab.
lishments started to civilize them. The
missionary schooner spent some FIVE
days at Tari. Tari, on Pitts Island; also
S,rong's some six hundred miles distant.
White men were found in all Of them.
The Missionaries were kindly received,
and at the urgent request Of the King o
Strong's Island, two Of the families con-
cluded to stop. All needed, aid was
promised them. From Strong's the
schooner sailed for Ascension. "There
were a great many white men" on it, bu,
very much degraded.-The Missionar.
les concluded to settle on the south por.
ton of this Island, among the Killei
tribe.
This must be regarded as the first civil
izing process Of these savages, begun
too, in the Sandwich Islands, only late
ly redeemed from barbarism. The three
white clergymen and their wives ant
the two Hawaiins and their wives, are
to be supported by the churches Of tht
latter. Is not this fact worth consider
ing by the foes Of Missions! Does it no
