SPREAD THE LIGHT
WORK OF A NOBLE MISSIONARY
AMONG CANNlBALS.
For Forty-Nipe Years, In Almost Con.
slant Peril of His Life, DR..
Patton Labored in the New
Hebrides.

The death of Rev. John Gibson
Patton, the missionary apostle to the
New Hebrides. in his eighty-third year
was reported by cable from Canter
bury, Australia. In 1858 DR.. Patton
decided to go to the New Hebrides be
cause he felt that in religious
sense it was the darkest place in
the world For 40 years he worked
among the natives of the islands, and
lew men have had a career so full OF
thrilling adventures, hairbreadth es.
capes and dreadful tragedy as his.
Tanna, the island on which he first
landed, was inhabited by cannibals of
most ferocious description. At first
he had the companionship of his young
wife and their little son, but a few
months after their arrival both died
Oh fever, and he was left to fight for
his life and his religion alone.
Forty times the natives tried to
XIII him, and 40 times they failed.
Six other missionaries who went to
assist him in the work were murdered.
The islands were visited by British
warships and other vessels, and many
times DIR. Patton was urged to leave
Tanna and seek refuge on some other
island where Christianity was begin
ming to make Roadway, or in New Zea-
land.
But he always refused. To him
the bowling cannibals who at times
were literally thirsting for his blood.
were his dear benighted Tannese,"
and with heroism remarkable even
in the missionary field, he remained
at his post
His escapes from death were al
most miraculous. More than once he
and his few helpers were besieged in
the mission house by the entire popu-
lation Of the island, and death seem
ed certain.
On one occasion his dog saved him.
sometimes his empty revolver fright
ened his assailants, and the fear the
natives had OF his Jehovah God"
whom he invoked more than once,
proved his salvation.
friendly chief once presented DR..
Patton with a finely polished wooden
spoon. Natives he subsequently met
would not believe that DR.. Patton had
dared to visit this warrior He show
ed them the spoon. and they fed for
their lives. Then the missionary
learned that his spoon was only used
at cannibal feasts, and by the chief
himself.
Gradually. however, the fruits of
his unceasing work began to make
themselves apparent, and few years
ago the number of Christians in the
New Hebrides was estimated at 49,
600 out of total population Of Co.
600. Not the least part Of his work
was the translation OF the Bible into
20 different dialects for the use of
the many different tribes on the is
lands.
Ten years after the death of his
hrst wife he married again, and not
many years ago his son was shot at
by a hostile tribe and narrowly es-
capped death.
His visits to England were few and
far between. His last was In 1901
and during his brief stay Of two
months the stalwart figure Of the
white haired snowy bearded old man
with the charming smile was seen on
many platforms.

Editor Spectator,


Dear Sir-In your last issue YOU
state that the Ring" and the cornora-
lions have turned Mr.. Churchman down
as Speaker of the next House of Dele
gates in Virginia. How can that be
when the Speaker is elected by the next
Representatives, and the people have
not yet said who they shall be? Is it
an admission that the machine ring is
so complete in pulling a majority of the
people IN each county their way that
the edlct has gone forth who our next
Representatives shall be? If so, whv
not dispense with the cost of elections
hereafter? What was it that Mr..
Churchman did that was such a benefit
70 the people? and why should the cor
porations turn him down.
Respectfully yours,
OLD FARMER.
Our friend, the ''Old Farmer" of
course from his eyrie between the plow
handles cannot see that the Speakers
are elected before even the candidates
Tor the incoming Legislature are named.
Should he ever leave the field for the
sacred precints of the State house he
may grow wise-he will certainly see
much that never occurred to him while
delving between the corn rows. In
this State evrything political is arrang-
ed before hand. A Ring to be a ring
must be a ring, if not, it had as well be
bump on log. The corporations in
this State dictate every Speakership.
They have done it for years, they will
do 1t again, they have picked their man.
Elections, in so far as they rule the Sc
lection of certain officers, are mere far
ces. When ore session of the Legisla-
ture ends the wise men arrange for the
next, and the slate is made I'D. From
that time on things are perfected.
Strengthened, put in form, until our So
Ions meet, and when this occurs in less
than one hour the slate is hung on the
wall, and those who went there thinking
they were going to have some hand in
the elections find they have not so much
as been consulted. The LEADERS have
promised those east of the Blue Ridge a
Normal School, the Southwest is to get
certain candidates in some future cleo
tions, and the old clerk of the Senate is
to be retained. The Tidewater is to
have no oyster laws. Piedmont gets
some concessions, but, in the logrolling
bee when meal time comes Hanover
county swallows the whole pie at one or
two gulps and the thing is over. She
may not have favorite son but she
hnds the man she wants. We had lust
as well dispense with elections in some
respects since on one occasion we in
structed enough delegates to go toRich-
mond and elect man of the national
reputation of Gen. Fitz Lee. when an
unknown, we may say, political rabbit
from the sage brush of Albemarle. new
er seen or heard of before. jumped up
in front of him and beat him lengths
What is the use of any more elections
IN Virginia? For some offices we have
had none since, and possibly will not
nave as long as the incumbents live.
We told last week how Mr.. Church.
man stopped the salary grab, making
the leaders mad, and thus benefttinp
the people.-Saunton Spectator.
