The Mcthodists in W.. rouso rs,ouds

The labors of missionaries in the Sou,h
Pacific have had results not 10 be COMPOUNDED
with the comparative failure Of Christian
propaganda on the west coast of Africa.
The work accomplished in the Tonga archi-
pclago merits special recognition, for it will
be found that facts brought out during the
past year demonstrate substantial change
in the condition of those islands.
1t was long ago settled by the experience
of the Jesuit Fathers that education must
precede conversion and their example has
been prudently followed by the Wesleyan
Missionary Society of London in dealing
with the numerous population of the Tonga
group. The natives Of these so-called
Society islands have been gradually pre-
pared for the intelligent profession of n new
faith by radical transformation of their
mode of life, the chief instrument being
we'll organized system Of common schools
The experiment may be said TO date from
the 2sth Of June, 1876, so that last year was
properly enough marked by jubilee or
scmi-centennial festival, which gave oc-
casion 10 gauge and signalize the progress
OF the undertaking.
Some thirty years earlier an unsuccessful
attempt TO convert the Tongancrs had been
made by another association, the London
Missionary Society. But out of ten mis-
slonarics who landed in 1897 at place called
Iaatclho several We're murdered, and the
station was soon abandoned. Some time
had elapsed when the Wcsleyans took up
the project, sending out in 1922 one of their
missionaries, named WALTER LAwRY. who
settled on the north coast Of Tongatabu, the
igl IA IN p.b
ties and dangers however, OF all sorts frus-
tratcd his efforts Also and he was finally
compelled to retire TO sydney taking with
him native youth named WATsoNI NAT,
who was aftcrward sent to England, where
ho contrived to master the English Ian
guage Undcterred by first failure, the
Wesleyans now despatched another agent,
one JONI THOMAS, who landed at Hhlfo, on
the west coast of Tonga Island, in 1926, and
who soon approved himself man OF exccp-
tional energy and practical sagacity. This
remarkable missionary, who may fairly be
called the apostle of the Society Islands,
spent more than thirty years in this OBJ
scure corner OF the world, and entering
upon his role Of cyilizer with nm insight and
patience not unworthy Of the early Chris
tlan pronagandlsts, not only introduced
Christianity, but gave it solid and steadfast
foundations. THOMAS seems to have re-
ceived considerable assistance from the
young Tonganer above mentioned who for
a time acted as Interpreter.
This conversion Of the Tonga islanders, the
only missionary enterprise of our time
which can Justly be compared with the as
tonishing achievements OF the Jcsuits in
no ci yt Ia nj 1,
Imposed great outlay on its promoters.
Exclusive OF the sums expended for the
training and outfit of missionaries, the Wcs-
leyan Society has laid out, during the last
hali century, more than siX hundred thou
sand dollars upon the Tonga mission The
education of the islanders has at all times
been the main object Of expenditures and
e4ellions, Among the assistants or sue

I'm its action on the Army bill, the Senate
has chacng 4 the House to n contest over
the principles OF rctrcnchment and public adj
minsiration. BY majority OF 90 the Senate
yesterday struck out OF the House bill the pro-
vision fixing the army at 10000 men. and put
the number O., % 600 1nthus refusing to make
any reduction whatever of the military cstab-
lishmcnt. the Senate has disrcgardcd the con
diton II the country and the demands Of the
people, and has surcumbcd to the Military Ring
which il SO powerful ut Washington. Its action
must Ice stcrnly resisted by the House.
The Senate and House were unable to ngree
upon the Army bill last March. and hence the
pres mt special session. The Senate has again
shown ts ohstinacy. and its purpose to make
no concessions TO the will Of the representatives
of the people.
The slight reduction OF the army made in the
House bill was altogether inadequate TO the no.
ccssities OF the times. The House should have
reduced the army TO 10 900 men, and then. after
carrying out other economies in our costly mill
tary establishment. should have adhered to its
position against all mcnaccs.
Yesterdays vote in the Senate shows that
number If Democratic Senators took side with
the Republican majority. 1t il spectacle which
we should not be- called upon to witness.
