Well might Mr. Moore praise God, for that year, without 
help, he received a thousand souls into church membership, 
and had another thousand under his instruction in prep-

reign of savagery and heathenism broken at Rewa, and thus

of light and truth and liberty in the very heart of Fiji. From 
this place of light, bright beams have gone forth through the 
darkness to other islands, until at last all Fiji is free. They 
were brave men and women whom the Lord in His mercy 
was pleased to use in this work. They have gone from the 
scene of their labors, but as long as time shall last the blessed- 
ness of their efforts shall not depart from Fiji.
