BROTHER GEORGE L. STERLING, who has the general supervision of the Cook Islands, South Pacific, relates an amusing incident that occurred in connection with his acceptation of a challenge to debate with a Catholic priest. He speaks in part of it thus: "I learned afterward that the natives anticipated something like a hand-to-hand encounter, as many of their debates are thus settled. The larger part of one hundred and fifty persons, or thereabouts, who had gathered in and around the house, had come to help me should such a thing occur." While the debaters parted with a friendly "hand-shake and a smile," the incident shows where the interest of the natives centered.
