Historical Sketch of the Translation of
the New Testament into the Gilbert
Islands Language.

Sixteen years ago this month | arrived
with my wife in these islands on our way to
Micronesia, whittier we were going under
the patronage of the American Board, to
assist in the evangelization of that portion of
the world. The Micronesia mission assem-
bled at Ponape in September 1857, assigned
US to the Gilbert Islands, where as yet no
missionaries had resided and on Novem-
Der 18th of the same year we took up our
abode on Apaiang and commenced at once
the acquisition of the language of the people.

There has been an invasion of British territory
on the gold coast of Western Africa by the Ashan-
tees on a disputed boundary question. the merits of
which are not easily understood here. The Ash
antees numbered in 1860 a native population of
about a million. Their country is near the British
settlement of Cape Coast Castle, and the natives
are celebrated for their skill in the manufactures of
~cottons. earthenware, and sword blades. The land
is extremely fertile, yielding the most luxuriant
vegetation, and producing largely tobacco. sugar.
miilet, rice, maize. gums, dyewood. timber, and
fruits in great abundance. Human sacriGces are
common.

Worrell, advanced toward the President and said
Mr.. President-Please accept. on behalf of Mrs.
Head and the ladies present, this bouquet, with our
thanks for your great act in excluding wine from
your New Years receptions. Whatever act of your
administration may be remembered, this act of the
wine will never be forgotten by the women of our
land.
The President received the bouquet with a brief
expression of thanks.
