| Summary |
"John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides, Volume 3" by John Gibson Paton is an autobiographical account that was written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the missionary activities of John G. Paton, focusing on his tireless efforts to spread Christianity in the New Hebrides Islands, amidst adversity, and sheds light on the cultural and spiritual transformation of the islanders. The opening of this volume sets the stage for Paton's continued journey during the years 1886 to 1892, highlighting his international missionary work and travels, his concerns about the effects of Western trade practices on the indigenous population, and his vigorous campaign against the sale of intoxicants and firearms to the natives. It also recounts his interactions with various communities while advocating for international prohibition of harmful trades that threaten the well-being of the islands' inhabitants. The narrative reflects Paton's deep commitment to his religious mission and the substantial challenges he faced, such as securing support for missionary work while navigating complex political landscapes.
