LITERATURE. ~ "There Shall Be No Night There." ·.roun, M.A. The Lifu Mission.· [In the N onconfOr1nist.] The story of tho Lifu inissiou, as told by 1'-Ir. l\rFal'lane in this exceedingly interesting and wcll·cxccutcd work, will rank with the greatest record s of Christian missionary enterprise. J.Ir. :&1 1Fa.rlane himself is a man of courage, piety, 'and common sen::ie, wiLh, '\'O should say, not a grain of cant in his cha.w1.cte1·. IIe w1·ites with forc e, clca.mess, anrl. <ler.ision, knowing just what h e bas to say a.nd how to sn.y it, as, \Ve shoulcl j udge, he knows, in regard tu the \York he has undertaken, just what to du a.nd ho'v to do it. Ile is not a mi:::~ona.ry of a rare charac· tor, for, happily, there are many s:..ich men in the missiou·ficl"c.l, but he possess es juf'lt those qualifications '"·hkh lnake a missionary sue· ccsi:iful and beloved, and which ha Ye nw.de the names of ,~lillian1s, 1\1offat, f.'ltnd Ellis renowned throughout the \vorld. Lifu, as nrn,ny of our readers will know, is one of tho Royalty isl:mds in the South Pacific, near New Caledonia.. It belongs to, and is rultd by, France, and \V ith adjacent islands was the scene, a. few yea.rs ago., of frequent and tragic Uisturbauces w:ising fro111 the combined jealousy of EngJfah influeneo and of Protestant missions. The unhappy conflicts '\'hich took plauc 'vcrc 'scttlcd only after diploma.tic rcmon· strances with the Imperial GovcrnHi.en.t, and the pe1·sonal interference of the late Emperor. But for this both the missionaries and their' converts \Yould probably have 'b~cn extenni~1· atcd in th e old fashion of the Roman Catbolic Cht1 rc.h . All t l1is will he remerubi:-rcd; but the whole ta.le, with it s a.ntccoclents, and its results, ]ui.s never been fully told until now, and now it 'bas tlw i.J.1tercst of an absorbing roma11ce. What a little tin1e it seems to t<1ike for Christlanity to show its po,ver over some .pL'ople ! It is scarcely thirty years since the naiv.c of Christ 'va!::l ffr.st.hen.rcl at.tifu, and then it' c<tUte fl'Om tlw lips of au uueduca.ted native of lla.rutonga, who had volu:otecreil. his i:icrvices as a preacher. ..ll.t that time, ~ays Mr. 1f'Farlanc, the inhabiti:tuts were "shrouded in heathen da.rla1ess, re· " veil ing in all the horrors of cannibalism, 'val' ' lowing in the inoral filth of a cl obasing idol· "atry, and groaning benel}th t11 e :Atrocities of "a cr uel despotis1n." .They 1H\d ·'no ideai of 1 ' God ox devil, heaven 9r1lell!" , Yet they had. their superstitions in rcg~d to departed spirits a.ud to char1ns. If they did not believe in a God they believed in invisible influences. '!'hey had, too, strruige trnditions remarkably resembling many of the earliest Biblical narratives.· There is ono, given by l\.'.[r, ~f'J'arla.ne, of the introdncfion of sin nnd death, the essence of which ia the same as t hat in the teinpta.tion of Adam and Eve, viz., that they crune through disobedienc~. They ha.Ne also traditions of a flood, of a to\ver tlrn.t W:\.."{ to reach to }leaven, and of another J oseph and his brethren, and so oo. Some of these a.re of singular interest. }"""or No UtC1·o...l night of darkner:s dre:i..r, Sucl1 ftS no'v shrouds this earthly sphere; But Heaven'ij o\vn light for evel' beams Upou the earth in glorious atrcaws.
