Missionary Contributions from the Fijian Islands

The contributions from the Fijian Islands for missionary purposes last year amounted to $25,000. In 1835 the first missionaries went among them, some of whom later lost their lives in endeavoring to labor for the people. To-day the islands have become nominally Christian and civilized. About eighty of the two hundred islands forming the group are inhabited. The population aggregated 121,000, of whom about 100,000 are natives.
