I am here to teach you how to turn away from all wickedness, to worship and serve Jehovah, and to live in peace. How can I approve of any person being killed for me or for the Worship? My God would be angry at me and punish me, if I did!" He replied, "Then, Missi, you will be murdered and the Worship destroyed."
But about four miles on our way, we met a large party of Miaki's men, all armed, and watching as outposts. Some were for shooting us, but others hesitated. Every musket was, however, raised and leveled at me. Faimungo poised his great spear and said, "No, you shall not kill Missi to-day. He is with me."
The missi dominici were the principal instruments Charlemagne had, throughout the vast territory of his empire, of order and administration. As to the central government, setting aside for a moment the personal action of Charlemagne and of his counsellors, the general assemblies, to judge by appearances and to believe nearly all the modern historians, occupied a prominent place in it.
Namakei came to me, morning after morning, saying, "Missi, is it done? Can it speak?" At last I was able to answer, "Yes!" The old Chief eagerly responded, "Does it speak my words?" I said, "It does." With rising interest, Namakei exclaimed, "Make it speak to me, Missi! Let me hear it speak." I read to him a part of the book, and the old man fairly shouted in an ecstasy of joy, "It does speak!
I replied, "Yes, I would like you to remain; but, considering the circumstances in which we will be left alone, I cannot plead with you to do so." He answered, "Then, Missi, I remain with you of my own free choice, and with all my heart. We will live and die together in the work of the Lord. I will never leave you while you are spared on Tanna."
So perplexing and mixed are even the highest experiences of the soul; the rose-flower of a perfect faith, set round and round with prickly thorns. One evening I said to the old Chief, "I think that Jehovah God will give us water to-morrow from that hole!" The Chief said, "No, Missi; you will never see rain coming up from the earth on this Island.
Before daybreak, I heard shot after shot quickly discharged in the Harbor. One of my Teachers came running, and cried, "Missi, six or seven men have been shot dead this morning for a great feast. It is to reconcile Tribes that have been at war, and to allow a banished Tribe to return in peace."
He came down to Earth and shed His blood for sinners; through Him forgive us our sins and take us to Heaven that good place where Missi Gordon the man and Missi Gordon the woman and all thy dear servants now are singing Thy praise and seeing Thy face.
One Chief said, "No, Missi, for it is on the other side of the island; but tell him not, I have sent for it, and it will be here to-morrow."
Ian said, "Come near me, and sit by my bedside to talk with me, Missi." I did so, and while speaking to him he lay as if lost in a swoon of silent meditation.
