Polygamy, with all its accompanying cruelties and degradations, universally prevails. Infanticide is systematically practised; and even the despatch of parents, when they grow old and helpless. Widows are put to death on almost every island to bear their husbands company into the spirit world. There is not an unmentionable vice hinted at in Romans i. which is not unblushingly practised on those Islands, wheresoever the Gospel has not dawned. * * * * * For the best published information on all these subjects, consult the work by Dr. John Inglis: “IN THE NEW HEBRIDES” (Nelson & Sons, 1887),—Reminiscences of noble Missionary Service for three-and-thirty years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A SELECTION FROM FLEMING H.

One of the most remarkable biographies of modern times. “I have just laid down the most robust and the most fascinating piece of autobiography that I have met with in many a day.... It is the story of the wonderful work wrought by John G. Paton, the famous missionary to the New Hebrides; he was made of the same stuff with Livingstone.”—_T. L.
