Missionary Interest Among Pitcairn Islanders
LETTERS received from Brethren J. R. McCoy and G. F. Jones report an increasing interest in missionary work among the Pitcairn Islanders. There are now one hundred and fifty-six Sabbath-keepers on the island. Brother Jones had spent the month of December with them. Since they have their little cutter, mail addressed to them at Mangareva, Gambier Islands, via Tahiti, will reach them in from three to six days after leaving Mangareva. Speaking of their isolation, Brother McCoy says: “When our papers occasionally come in on passing ships, they are like water to thirsty souls. The copies of the REVIEW AND HERALD sent me by way of Tahiti came up on the man-of-war three weeks ago (February 18). They are very old ones, but have been read over and over again. I am glad to see the interest taken in the work. I hope many souls will be brought to the light.”
