Described by One OF Thorn.
New York special: Rev. John G. Patton.
for many years q missionary to the heather
Of the Now 1lebridcs Islands. spoke in the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. MIR.
Patton is a venerable man. who has given
thirty-four years of his life to mission
work in the South Sea Islands. His hair
and long beard are US white as snow,
and he has acquired "a quick uttcrance ana
slight dialect from his long life abroad.
His story was one full of adventure and
hard work. In the early years OF the mis-
sion the islanders re-entcd the intrusion OF
the men of God and put man, of them to
death. Cannibul fc.sts In those days were
Of frequent occurrence, and 1t took Il man
OF great nerve aud fighting qualities to
stand his ground. The natives were ad-
dicted to the most heathenish customs I'M
as,nable. Their, only form of religion is
che worship of idols. Their gods. they
thought. claimed human sacrifices at fre-
quent intervals to appease their wrath.
Mr.. Patton showed an idol before which
hundreds of children ave been killed IN
the most horrible manner. From this UNI
promising material a large number OF rom
verts has been obtained. Mr.. Patton says
there are now more than fourteen thousand
Christian natives. Caunibalism has been
done away with and indu 'trial pursuits
have been introduced.
