In the New Hebrides

OUR Australasian Union Conference has established a mission on the island of Atchin, in the New Hebrides.
The islanders are still untamed heathen, and recently there was a rising which drove out the European trader and his associates, the only white people on the island aside from our missionaries. Our missionaries were warned to flee by friendly natives, but felt they should hold their ground. For a time they kept watch with the windows of the mission house barricaded.
The situation occasioned most earnest prayer among the churches in Australia, and the Lord turned the uprising to his glory. “The natives who made the trouble are very friendly with us now,” writes the superintendent, C. H. Parker. “We believe that the Lord has helped, and that he will turn all things to his glory. We need your prayers that we may guide these feet into the footsteps of Jesus. We have given 238 treatments this month to the suffering.”
