Rival Creeds.

[Letter to the Editor ] On one island here in the Solomons there are no less than four represen tatives of religions vying with each other for the salvation of the heathen; and in some instances, “hymns of hate,” do not adequately describe the relationship between them.

The other day a representative of one denomination visited one of another, and was greeted on the door step with the words: ‘You’re a fool!” ‘‘Thank you!’’ said the visitor, graciously. ‘‘You come here, poaching on our preserves and trying to take away our converts! ”

“Oh, no, I don’t,” said the visitor.

“You’re a liar!” shouted the inhos pitable one.

Upon which the visitor strategetically retired, without the loss of a man.

Just what the “converted heathen” thinks of the whole sorry business would probably be best illustrated if they started in to eat each other.

I am, etc.,
