From 1888. when missionaries first Wis

to Christianity we're made. Twenty thous-
and more converts joined the Christian
standard within the next twenty years,

its results. In 1883 there were only
5235 converts among the natives Of the
islands. and within the NEXT three or four
years the mum Der was still further de-
creased. This alarming falling off was
not to be ascribed wholly to the large de-
crease in the native population. In tue
early days the people we're governed by
oniefs who materially aided the mission
aries, but after the passing away OF thass
tribal rulers, no authority whatever was
exercised in favor OF islieon.
