THE Marovo Mission is situated on the small island of the same name. At one time, the natives were among the worst cannibals and head-hunters in the Solomon Islands. To-day they are yielding to the power of the gospel.
This mission was started nine months ago. We have some promising young people, who are accepting each point of gospel truth as it is presented. Some are very busy making a big feast to pacify the spirits before they can attend school.
Before a young man of this tribe marries, he must procure at least one head. One young man who now works for his fellow youth, says that when we first came here, he thought it good to kill before marriage. A number of these young people are quickly dropping the ways of heathenism, and placing their confidence in the word of God.
