afterwards became efficient servants & teachers’ wives in their own & other islands of the group.
The wives of new Missionaries found her a true friend & counsellor.”
Dr Inglis was honoured by the NH Synod upon his death : “Synod, having heard of the death, in
July last, of the Rev Dr. Inglis, one of the founders of the Mission, hereby places on record its
high appreciation of the work that he by power of God was enabled to do in the way of evangelizing
these islands. Forty years ago he landed on this island to join the late Dr Geddie…..Retiring to his
native Scotland and editing the Old Testament & Pilgrim’s Progress, in Aneityamese, he spent the
remainder of his life in quiet retirement while still aiding the work by voice, pen and prayer….”
