WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.720 Hey, everybody, come on your Story Hours on. 2 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.800 Welcome to your Story Hour. I'm Aunt Nikki and. 3 00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.240 I'm Uncle John, and we're here to bring you today's 4 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:21.359 inspiring story. Hello, boys and girls. I'm looking forward to 5 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.640 our time together today because Aunt Carol has an especially 6 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:25.800 exciting story for us. 7 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.879 The story takes place in the mid eighteen hundreds and 8 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.280 takes us from Scotland to the New Hebrides. 9 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.359 The New Hebrides, now, where's that? 10 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.520 In the Coral Sea, halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Since 11 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.759 gaining independence in nineteen eighty, the islands have been known 12 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:42.520 as Vanawatu Naha. 13 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.000 And what makes this story especially exciting. 14 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:50.479 The story involves murderous cannibals and devil curses, dedicated missionaries 15 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:51.880 and miracles of God. 16 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:53.399 That is exciting. 17 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.759 Now, when we get to the New Hebrides, we have 18 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.679 to remember that islanders and missionaries both spoke in the 19 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.159 languages of the islands. However, in our story everyone will 20 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.319 speak English so we can understand what they're saying. 21 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.480 That's a good idea. 22 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.319 I thought you'd like it. Now let's get started with 23 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:14.760 the story. We call the Man who Loved Cannibals. 24 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.959 John Patten was born in the County of Dumfries, Scotland, 25 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.760 in eighteen twenty four. He was the oldest of the 26 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.319 eleven children of James Patten and his wife Janet. The 27 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.879 Presbyterian Pattens were deeply religious. One time, when father was 28 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.599 away from home, the family ran out of food. 29 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.400 Ah, Mom, I'm so hungry. I know, Johnny me lad, 30 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.359 but didn't worry. I've prayed and told God all about it. 31 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.079 Remember your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of 32 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.560 these things. Luke twelve thirty two, go to sleep now 33 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.480 me we laddie, and we will have food come mornin. 34 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.280 Ooh, that's a big barrel your father has sent he 35 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:08.159 as a love gift. 36 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.599 Mistress Peyton, we Scots can be proud of this custom. 37 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:12.800 I jore the. 38 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.000 Charter and thank you for making room for it on 39 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.800 your cart and for carrying it inside for me pleasure, ma'am. 40 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.719 Have you a good day now. 41 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.199 What's a love gift, ma'am, It's a present to show 42 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.000 affection to someone. In this case, my father, your grandfather 43 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.319 Rogerson over in Lockerbie, has sent us a barrel of food. 44 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:31.919 Food. 45 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.759 I didn't know he needed food. 46 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.319 Did you send him a message. 47 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.919 I didn't need to do that. I told God just yesterday, 48 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.520 and the food was already on its way before I 49 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.280 even prayed. 50 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:43.639 But how could that be? 51 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.439 Because our heavenly Father knew we had need of the food, 52 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.280 and he impressed Granddad to send it before we even asked. 53 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:50.520 God to that. 54 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.719 Mom Ough, Hi, remember to tell him all your needs 55 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.639 and faith, and he will supply your wants so far 56 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.439 as it shall be for your good and his glory. 57 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.599 With such an upbringing, was it any wonder that John 58 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.599 spent ten years working among the poor in a city 59 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.719 mission in Glasgow. He also studied theology and medicine to 60 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.159 prepare himself for foreign missions, and when he was thirty two, 61 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.439 he and his wife were chosen to go to the 62 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.800 New Hebrides. But many tried to change his mind. 63 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.159 Forget going as a missionary for a paltry one hundred 64 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:28.400 and twenty pounds a year. 65 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.800 The green straight charge of you ya house and any 66 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:31.919 salary a care to name. 67 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.800 If you'll just stay. 68 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.719 Here, you cannot be spelled John, And that's the truth 69 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.080 for your people in Glasgow, need ye, there. 70 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.159 Are heathens right here. 71 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.800 Young man did his first seek and save those who 72 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.159 are perishing at our doors. 73 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:51.800 The cannibals. 74 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.960 Mister Peyton, you'll be killed and eaten by the cannibals. Besides, 75 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:57.879 we need you here. 76 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.000 All these objections made John start to wonder whether he 77 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.680 was truly answering God's call or just following his own 78 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.319 wilful desires. So he visited his parents in their peasant cottage. 79 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.759 We did not want to influence her decision, but now 80 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.879 I can tell you we praise God for your choice. 81 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.000 Aye, lad Your father's heart was set on being a minister, 82 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.240 but other claims first him to give it up. 83 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.480 When you're born, Well, lay you non altim, We're first 84 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.319 born and consecrated it to be a missionary if God's 85 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:31.639 offer it. 86 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.160 All these years we have prayed for you that you 87 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.399 might be qualified for and led to this very decision. 88 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.800 And now we pray that God will long spare ye 89 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.560 and give you many souls from the heathen world, ah Man. 90 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.480 Within four months after John and his wife arrived on 91 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.920 the island of Tana, his wife and newborn son died 92 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.519 of a fever. Nearly prostrate with grief, John did his 93 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.160 best to teach the islanders about the love of the 94 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.360 God of heaven nearies were called missy by the islanders. 95 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.399 Chief Noah, you must treat women kindly, didn't beat them, 96 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.360 didn't work them so hard. 97 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.720 Tenny's women cannot understand kindness, Missy. They were not work 98 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.279 if we were kind to them. 99 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.319 But they would be more cheerful if you were kind. 100 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.199 We know what turu to keep them in line. We 101 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.040 kill and eat two or three. Then the rest are 102 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.879 quiet and obedient for a long time. 103 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.399 Frustrated John talked with a convert from the island of 104 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.399 Anaarium who had come to Tanner with him as a teacher. 105 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.680 Abraham A mat Loos, How can I help the Chinese women? 106 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.040 I don't know the language well yet, and the Chinese, 107 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.560 it seems, don't know how to love. 108 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.079 True, Missy. The Chinese know nothing of the great Creator God. 109 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.000 They know only the devil gods, which they serve through 110 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:03.240 fear without love. The woman's situation is very bad. They 111 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.439 are nothing but slaves to their husband. It is the 112 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.480 heathen way. Remember when that man beat his wife right 113 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.800 in front of the mission house. You tried so hard 114 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.360 to stop him, but you couldn't. 115 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.160 I know, Abraham, but what can I do? 116 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.199 I have an idea we can teach them by example. 117 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.199 We teachers can go into the forest with our wives 118 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.480 to cut firewood. Then we will give the women small 119 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.720 loads to carry while we carry the big loads. 120 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.920 Very good, Abraham. We'll show the Tannese men how to 121 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.399 act and explain. 122 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:49.959 Here you are na far too, my wife. Let me 123 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.120 secure this bundle of wood on your back. There. How 124 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:54.439 is that? 125 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.279 Ah? 126 00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.360 That is fine, Abraham, very comfortable. 127 00:06:58.439 --> 00:06:58.839 Thank you. 128 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.560 Are you ready? 129 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.480 We are already, Missy? 130 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.439 Go ahead. 131 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.720 Then here we are, Missy and Chief Noah. It is 132 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.439 so nice to see you today. See how Christians treat women. 133 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.879 We men carry the heavier burdens, and we give the 134 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.759 smaller loads to the women, right, Missy. 135 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:27.000 Right, Abraham. Men are stronger, so we do heavier work, 136 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.600 you see, Chief Noah. 137 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.879 Well maybe, but I still don't think Danny's women would 138 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.319 understand kindness. 139 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.519 The women will be grateful, the heavy loads are too 140 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.879 much for them, Chief Noah. 141 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.519 Maybe maybe. 142 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.120 Eventually, the idea of treating wives kindly began to take hold. 143 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.000 Ten chiefs agreed to ban wife beating and widow strangling. 144 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.000 Then Satan tried a new tactic to turn the islanders again. 145 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.079 The missionaries now hat a respected chief from Anayadiam Island 146 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:10.079 visited Tanna and died suddenly. Illness and sudden death were 147 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.800 not unusual, but the mission's enemies saw a chance to 148 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:15.319 get rid of the Christians. 149 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.480 Chief Noah, what's so urgent? And what's this a weapon? 150 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:29.279 An Ax? You are in great danger, Missy and abra 151 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.039 am here and Nafatu too.

Chiefs and villagers from other parts of the 153 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.320 islands say you cause Chief Noah to die, and you 154 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.840 have made his better sake. 155 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:47.000 To what impossibly? How can they say? 156 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.720 Don't here? It's an excuse for the devil worshipers to 157 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.399 get rid of you. You must be on God. Do 158 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.080 not go outside, especially. 159 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.320 Nafatu White Chief Noary. 160 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.159 They killed and ate several women to see they're packed. 161 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.200 It is the heat.

Chief 208 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.320 Noir has just warn Missionary John Patten about the urgent 209 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.639 danger of angry Islanders who want to kill the missionaries 210 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:44.200 in this story called the Man who Loved Cannibals. 211 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.519 After Noir warned John and his fellow Christians about their danger, 212 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.879 they began to earnestly bring their situation before God, just 213 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.519 as John's mother had taught him. For several days and nights, 214 00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:01.320 they continued committing themselves to God to live or die 215 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.600 according to his will. They didn't dare leave the mission grounds, 216 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.360 but friends like Noah brought them news. 217 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.559 Noah, I'm glad you're safe. What's happening? 218 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.840 You should have seen it, Missy. There was a great 219 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.759 meeting and they chose the man who would kill you. 220 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:21.039 Bah. 221 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.799 Then Miaki, our Watchif. 222 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.679 The man that chills Missy must first steal me. The 223 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.759 men that kill the mission teachers must first kill me 224 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.279 and my people, for we shall stand by them and 225 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:37.759 defend him till death. 226 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.840 Then Chief Manu man made the same threat, and the 227 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.000 meeting broke up. Nobody wants to tang over doors? 228 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.240 Do I don't understand? Chief Noah. Manuman and Miaki are 229 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.000 known enemies of the mission. They are sacred men, devil 230 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.039 priests who served the spirits and practiced devil magic. 231 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.919 Why would they defend MISSI remember Abraham? When Manuman's younger 232 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.159 brother was wounded in battle, Missy took care of his wounds. 233 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.559 That's right in Nafatu, and the brother recovered. Maybe Manuman is. 234 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.639 Grateful, maybe Abraham, But do not trust too much the 235 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.639 human gratitude. The evil spirits rule aunt Annah. Even many 236 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.759 who are friendly to their mission fear spirits more than 237 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.960 they love Missy, or you teach us. 238 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.720 The missionaries held another prayer service to thank God for 239 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.279 saving them from death. Peace reigned for a time. John 240 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.399 continued learning the island language better, and some of the 241 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.000 men began coming to the mission house by night to 242 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.519 learn about the God of Heaven. 243 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.960 You look sad, Nahuka. What is the matter? 244 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:52.000 Because of your teaching, Missy, I learned to love my wife, 245 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.039 but now she has died. 246 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.879 Oh, chief Nahuka, I am sorry to hear that. 247 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.720 I remember when your wife, Missid, the woman died, you 248 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.720 held the service over her grave and pray to the 249 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:11.440 God of Heaven. Missy, I want the Christian burier for 250 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.399 my wife. I've already bought white cloth from the trader 251 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.279 to wrap her body, and. 252 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.159 That is very touching. Nahouka, I will be happy to 253 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.159 conduct this, sir. 254 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.879 No, no no, If you come, I'm afraid many of 255 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.639 the people will stay away, and I want all of 256 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.919 them to see and hear the prayers to the God 257 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.519 of Heaven. She nowhere has agreed to conduct the service. 258 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.080 He's not really a Christian, but he will like to 259 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:36.519 be one. 260 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.639 What that that is wonderful. 261 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.679 There is a resurrection right, my wife will live again. 262 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.200 You have taught us. 263 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:49.320 Yes naokah, and if you are faithful to the God 264 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.480 of Heaven, you and I will stand side by side 265 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.360 and embrace our dear wives again. The death and resurrection 266 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.840 of our Lord Jesus assures. 267 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.159 But not everyone was happy. A trader living at one 268 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.039 end of the island didn't like peace and love among 269 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.519 the islanders. He wasn't selling enough weapons now that the 270 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.279 islanders were changing, so he decided to do something about it. 271 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.759 He started to visit the chiefs and talk to them. 272 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.679 Here you go, Chief Miaki, have some powder and musket 273 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.639 balls on the house. There is no charge to you. 274 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.600 Will thank you, I'm sure. 275 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.879 But what will I do with him? 276 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.639 These are for war and we are all at peace 277 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.519 because of MISSI. 278 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.360 Well, now I know you have a feud with Chief Accurat. 279 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.919 You have held back from war because you are afraid 280 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.759 you might lose. But I have many more weapons like these, 281 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.679 good weapons and much ammunition. With these, you would be 282 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.519 sure to win. 283 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.039 Yes, I could destroy our Kurat's whole drive in no time. 284 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.000 Thank you, Captain Winchester. 285 00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:58.960 Thank you. 286 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.720 Then, of course, the trader went to Chief Arcurate with 287 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.759 more war materials and more insinuations from chief to chief 288 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.919 he went, urging each to fight other tribes. As soon 289 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.200 as John heard about it, he confronted the trader. 290 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:19.799 Captain Winchester, you have to stop. If you keep on 291 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.000 like this, there will be a war. 292 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.440 Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what will happen. 293 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.799 But Wyman, people will die. 294 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.799 Who cares, They're just a bunch of savages. When the 295 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.799 war starts, I'll raise my prices and I'll get a 296 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.000 lot of pigs and poultry and trade. I'll sell those 297 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.120 to passing ships and make a lot of money. 298 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.679 It's not right. 299 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.120 Maybe they are savages now, but I hope to bring 300 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.720 them to God. And if you stir up a war 301 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.440 among savages, what does that make you rich? 302 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.320 Reverend Peyton, It will make me very very rich. 303 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:05.279 Mes see, let me in quickly, please worry, Come in. 304 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.960 What is the problem. 305 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.640 The problem is, I'm Chief Miaki's younger brother. You know, 306 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.559 Miaki has decided to go to war against Chief Akuat. 307 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.559 In fact, a lot of the chiefs have gone to 308 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.680 war with each other. People are being killed all over 309 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.640 the island, and Miaki wants me to fight too. 310 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.319 You don't want to fight, no, I want to. 311 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.880 Be a Christian I don't want to hurt anyone. Please 312 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.640 let me stay with you in the mission house. 313 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.319 Of course, you may, we have plenty of room. 314 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.559 But Miaki discovered where his brother was hiding, and he 315 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.160 came to get the young man. 316 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.680 Please, Miaki, don't make me go. 317 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.759 Chief Miyaki, your brother does not wish to fight and 318 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:48.359 to kill. 319 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.920 Please silence, Missy. 320 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.640 This does not concern you. 321 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.599 Rari. 322 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.279 You are my brother and I am your chief.

You urged peace, but 335 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.240 I lectraitor. Winchester talked me into attacking Winchester. 336 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:50.559 He engineered this. 337 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.559 He sewed weapons to us, but he swed weapons to 338 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:54.559 our enemies too. 339 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.839 I know he is to blame. 340 00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:59.880 What kind of a burial do you want for Rarib? 341 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.559 He would have wanted a Christian berry. O, missy, will 342 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.680 you do that for him? Yes, Miaki I will be 343 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.279 happy to and Nen I will deal with Trader Winchester. 344 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:17.720 After Arib's funeral, Miaki rushed off to confront Winchester. With 345 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.680 the trader's armed guard standing around. The chief did not 346 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.960 dare to kill him right then, but he left Winchester 347 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.200 in no doubt as to his intentions. 348 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.480 You led us into this war. 349 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.960 You deceived us. It's not my fault if you are 350 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.920 stupid enough to fall for it. 351 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.240 Ninny have died needlessly. 352 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:42.079 My own brother, Roarib, mark my words, Your life will 353 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.720 pay for his. 354 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.440 For three long months, the war dragged on, and for 355 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.920 every minute of that time, Captain Winchester lived in fear. 356 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.880 His guards left him. He and his island wife are 357 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.480 getting no sleep because they had to stay on watch 358 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:01.319 all night. Finally, the man who had hoped to get 359 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:05.160 rich was forced to abandon everything he had and flee 360 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:10.839 for his life on a passing ship. John continued to 361 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.720 try to teach the islanders about the loving Creator God, 362 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.880 but it seemed like it was one step forward and 363 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.279 two steps back. He resumed visiting the villages to preach. 364 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.039 Some were interested but some very powerful men were determined 365 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:26.839 to stop him. 366 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.720 Here we are, Abraham Nafatu. We haven't been to this 367 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.720 village in quite. 368 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.119 A while, Yes, and there's a good reason for that. 369 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.440 This is where teacher Namuel was attacked.
