MISSIONARIES IN SAMOA.
Unfounded Charge made against them.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
Auckland This Day. Some months ago, says tho Samoanisoho Zeitang, a damaging charge was brought against individual members of the London Missionary Society in Samoa, to the effect that they had offensively interfered wiih official arrangements for the Emperor’s birthday which happened to fall on a Sunday, and had attempted to raise disloyal feelings through religious observance on that day. This serious charge of disloyalty was circulated throughout Germany, and caused considerable suspicions as to policy of the London Missionary Society in Samoa.
A “ defence ” was published by the mission at the request of the Governor.
The result has been that after tho fullest investigations by the authorities at Samoa and in Berlin, the members of the mission are completely cleared of any vile intentions and charges, declared absolutely without foundation.
