Excerpt from John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides: An Autobiography The Editor desires very gratefully to acknow ledge his joy in receiving, not only through Press Notices, but from Correspondents in every rank, most ample confirmation of the assurance expressed by him in the last sentence of the Original Preface There is a blessing in it. He has been urging his Brother to complete, as soon as he possibly can, Part Second of the Autobiography and he hopes that the call for this Second Edition of Part First at so early a date will successfully enforce his appeal.
