Margaret Paton

by Margaret Paton

In this companion volume to the missionary classic John G. Paton: The Autobiography of the Pioneer Missionary to the New Hebrides , Margaret Whitecross Paton gives an enthralling account of the missionary life in the New Hebrides (now called Vanuatu) from the 1860s to the 1890s. The steady advance of the gospel in the islands is vividly described, and the whole account is set against the background of the joys and sorrows of family life. Margaret Paton writes with rare grace, humour, and pathos. Letters from the South Seas is an inspiring story, full of the triumphs of Christian faith and love, and a missionary classic in its own right—a book to prize. About the Author Margaret Whitecross Paton was the second wife of the pioneer missionary to the New Hebrides, John G. Paton. She was the daughter of the Rev.
