	John Williams (Missionary) - LoveToKnow 1911
		JOHN WILLIAMS (1796-1839), English Nonconformist missionary, was born at Tottenham near London on the 29th of June 1796.
		Williams was fairly liberal for his age, and the results of his labours among the Pacific Islands were essentially beneficial.
		Williams returned to England in 1834 (having previously visited New South Wales in 1821); and during his four years' stay at home he had the New Testament, which he had translated into Rarotongan, printed.

	John Williams
		Williams became interested in genealogical research in 1822 and assisted in preparing a life of Eunice Williams, and it is probable that his taste for investigation of historical subjects, with the knowledge of the doubtfulness of his parentage, created in his mind a sincere adherence to his singular delusion.
		Williams taught at Bradford while studying theology, was licensed to preach in 1763, and was pastor of the church in Bradford in 1765-'80.
		Williams was a member of many historical societies, president of the Franklin county, Massachusetts, medical society, and vice-president of the Massachusetts medical society.

	JOHN WILLIAMS: THE MARTYR MISSIONARY OF POLYNESIA
		As the white missionary and his dark-skinned converts disembarked and approached the shore in a large canoe, he could not but wonder whether the reception they would receive would be as hostile and fierce as that which had been tendered on his first visit several years earlier.
		John Williams was born June 29, 1796, in the village of Tottenham, England, six miles north of London.
		Williams had as a servant in his home a woman who in her heathen days had followed the profession of destroying infants.

	Bishop Patteson of Melanesia
		The withdrawal of John Henry Newman from her pale had transferred at once the greatest mind and one of the noblest natures from the University to the Church of Rome.
		The people had become deeply attached to their missionary, and the native teachers whom he had instructed in the doctrines of the faith were bravely carrying on the work.
		The practice of the missionary vessels as they visited each island of persuading the young men who came out to visit them to come with them to be trained as missionaries must surely have influenced the locals to believe that the missionary's vessel and the flbirder's vessel had something in common.

	Tuvalu Origins
		One of the earliest records was the Narrative Of Missionary Enterprises in the South Seas by the Reverend John Williams of the London Missionary Society published by John Snow, London, 1840.
		Williams observed that many of the words are the same, noting that the Polynesians employ the Malay numerals with scarcely any variation.
		These are the principal circumstances upon which Williams found the belief, that the copper coloured Polynesians, and the various tribes inhabiting the Indian Archipelago, have the same origin.

		Both John Williams and Robert Moffat, seminary classmates and fellow agents with the London Missionary Society, wrote best-selling accounts of their missionary activities among the peoples of the South Pacific and Africa, respectively.
		Williams presents himself as a supervisor of his energetic army of native catechists who do the daily work of evangelization.
		In my paper, I suggest that ultimately the missionaries' use of exotic locales, their depiction of the natives as eager converts, and their self-representations as servants of divine Providence and British culture blinds the British public to the true difficulties of the missionary situation.

	John Geddie - Missionary Biographies - Worldwide Missions
		Similar wanton deeds perpetrated throughout the Pacific created much hostility toward all white men, interfered seriously with missionary operations and engendered a passion for revenge which often led to attacks on innocent missionaries and, in numerous instances, to their martyrdom, as in the case of John Williams, Bishop Patteson and others.
		When the John Williams sailed away, the missionaries felt for the first time the stern reality of being abandoned on an island surrounded by a barbarous people from whom they had much to fear and with whom they had little, if anything, in common.
		The life of John Geddie and his monumental accomplishments in Eastern Melanesia, especially on Aneiteum, constitute an everlasting memorial to the power of the love of Christ to transform savages into saints and the abodes of barbarism into a possession of the Lord.
