The recent death In Baltimore Of the

Of tho Gilbert ISlands. ends an unbroken
period OF missionary work by two men
Of the sqmo name, father and son. which
haa covered dAearly century.
The death Of the son came few days
after his arrival here 10 give personal
report Of his work TO the annual meeting
Of the American Board OF Commissioners
for Foreign Missions. He was rs years
old, and he knew when he came 10 this
country that he probably would not re-
turn. A meeting held In his memory at
Plymouth Church in Brooklyn last Sunday
was an unusual testimonial of the regard
In which he was held.
The elder Hiram Bingham. who was
born In New Haven, Conn, In 1850. and
was graduated from Andover Seminary
in 1919. in which year he was ordained
a Congregational minister. applied at once
for an appointment as missionary to the
Sandwich Islands. Hereceived itand was

included half dozen missionaries. was

After laboring for twenty, ears. in
which time he welded great influence

ham returned to this country for the pur-
pose Of educating his son to follow in his
footsteps The son married Ciarissa
Brewster, asschool teacher, who was de-
scended from Elder Brewster OF the May
flower. and soon afterward sailed with
his wife from Boston 10 begin work in the
Gilbert Islands.
The two sailed on the mission snip
Morning Star. which was built by the peK-
day school children. The Gilbert Islands,
lying near the equator. seldom have q
temperature less than 70 degrees, but the
ninghams built q little house, "A by i0
feet, and called it Happy Home Their
daily food was coooanuts, fish and PAN
danus fruit, except for short time once
q year when the Morning Star brought
fresh supplies.
DR.. Bingham found the difficulties of
missionary work stupendous, chiefly be-
cause the islanders had no written Ian

set out actually to make q language.

larry and construct his own grammar
He had great difficulty finding a Gilbertese
