NAURU MISSIONARY
/ TRANSMITTING BIBLE
W. A. Bowen TELLS story Of Della
porte's Failure TO Return To
South Sea Islands

For writing letter to the American
Missionary Board Of Boston, in which
he said that his sympathics naturally
we're with the land of his birth, Philip
Delaporte, who was in charge Of the
missionary work on the island Of Nau.
ru when that island was under control
Of the German government, made him
self strictly persona non grata with
the English governor who was station.
ed there shortly after the outbreak
Of the European war. ..
w. A. Bowen, who is well acquaint.
ed with the facts Of the case, in speak.
ing Of Mr.. Delaporte last night, said;
Cautioned BY Board .
Originally, Mr.. Delaporte made
some remark that was not popularity re.
eeived and which, perhaps, might bet.
ter have been left unsaid. He was
cautioned by the American Board to
be careful and hold himself strictly
neutral at all times. Writing TO the
board, he said he would comply with
their instructions, but that il was only
naturali that his sympathies should be
with the land Of his birth. This clause
was written in order that his letter
might pass the German censor. II
went through to Boston, and there the
error was made of having it printed
in the Missionary Herald.
s"Thc published letter found its way
to the islands which were then under
English control. The English were
very much wrought up over that part
OF, the letter stating that his sympath-
les were with the land of his berth, so
they Immediately sent in report 20
the American Board in which they said
Delaporte was very much persona non
grata. The board carefully considered
the situatIop and seeing the dilemma
in which le was in, decided that il was
bes. for him not TO return.
1.-THE American Board turned over
all care of the Naura Mission to the
London Missionary Society, since the
English are in control of the island
from . governmental point Of view.'
Delaporte Now In Iowa .. 81.
Mr.. Bowen says that Mr.. Delaporte
is now preaching to a German con.
yregatipn in Muscatine, Iowa. He has
been for year, and, is still continu.
ing, to read the proof of his Bible,
which he has translated into the NauTu
language from the English. -...
He is also attending to work con
neeted with its publication. His work
probably will be ready for the press
within a month or two, at the latest.
