On the Island of Aneityum, in the South Seas, John Geddie, sent from the
Presbyterian Church in Nova Scotia (coming in 1848), and John Inglis
from The Reformed Presbyterian Church in Scotland (coming in 1852), saw
amazing success. By 1854 about 3,500 natives [more than half the
population] "threw away their idols, renounced their heathen customs and
avowed themselves to be worshippers of the true Jehovah." When Geddie
died in 1872, all the population of Aneityum professed to be Christian.
It was said of John Geddie: "When he landed in 1848, there were no
Christians here; when he left in 1872 there were no heathen." |
Born in Banff, Scotland in 1815. Brought to Pictou, Nova Scotia, by his
parents in 1816. Ordained and settled on Prince Edward Island in 1838.
Sent as the pioneer Presbyterian missionary from Canada, to the New
Hebrides in 1846. Died in Australia in 1872.
