"The Light Of Melanesia" chronicles fifty years of mission work in the South Seas. Written by Henry Hutchinson Montgomery following a personal visitation requested by John Selwyn, the late Bishop of Melanesia, this record offers a detailed look at the efforts to spread Christianity throughout the islands. Montgomery's account provides valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of the missionaries, as well as the cultural and spiritual landscape of Melanesia during this period.

This book is a vital historical document for those interested in the history of Christian missions, the cultural dynamics of the South Pacific, and the enduring impact of religious work on remote communities. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and culture, capturing the spirit and dedication of those who sought to bring the 'light' to Melanesia.
