He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Fiji consists of approximately 330 islands in the mid-South Pacific Ocean, the largest being Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Background The capital, Suva, is on the southeastern shore of Viti Levu. Fifty-four percent of the population are indigenous Fijians (Melanesians), and forty percent are descendants of Hindu Indian laborers originally brought in to work on the sugar cane plantations. There is a small percentage of people of Polynesian descent in the eastern islands.1 Among the early Europeans to enter Fijian waters were Abel Tasman (1643) and James Cook (1774). Methodist missionaries arrived in the nineteenth century and established a Christian base, having converted influential chiefs who, in turn led their clans to accept the faith together with many Western social mores. The country became a British crown colony in 1894 and gained its independence in 1970. Friction has developed between the indigenous Fijians and Indo- Fijians, the indigenous chiefs gaining the upper hand with sole land rights under a republican government since 1987.2 Arrival of Seventh-day Adventists The missionary ship “Pitcairn” reached Suva, Fiji, on August 3, 1891.

He is married to Noeleen and has two sons and three grandchildren. Tonga is a Polynesian kingdom of approximately 170 islands divided into three main groups—Tongatapu in the south, the Ha’apai group in the center, and the Vava’u group in the north. Seventh-day Adventists have been resident in the islands since 1895. Introduction The Kingdom of Tonga, otherwise known as the Friendly Islands or Friendly Isles, is a member of the British Commonwealth with a hereditary constitutional monarchy. It gained its full independence in 1970. The capital and royal palace is at Nuku’alofa on the island of Tongatapu. On the western edge lie a number of volcanic islands such as Fonuafo’ou, Tofua, and Kao. The inhabitants are Polynesian who speak their own tongue with English as their second language. The Free Church of Tonga, the Methodists, Roman Catholics, Mormons, and Seventh-day Adventists are the larger religious denominations on the islands.1 Arrival of Seventh-day Adventists and the Early Growth of the Church The first voyage of the missionary ship, the Pitcairn, brought Seventh-day Adventists to the Friendly Isles on June 11, 1891.

Hilliard, Edward (1851–1936) and Ida Louisa (Fleming) (1857–1945) SHIRLEY TARBURTON Shirley Tarburton, M.Litt. (Distinction) (University of New England, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia) retired in 2008 after 40 years teaching church-school (mainly high school but including eight years at university).

She is married to Dr. Michael Tarburton with two adult children and four grandchildren. Edward Hilliard was a pioneer Seventh-day Adventist missionary to the South Pacific region, who spent eighteen years in Tonga and Australia.1 Birth and Early Life Edward A. Hilliard was born April 3, 1851, in Madrid, St. Lawrence County, New York, in the United States of America. 2 He was the fifth of ten children born to Aaron Henderson Hilliard (1820-18753) and his wife, Lydia Ann Meyers (1825- 1883.)4 Their other children included Sidney E.
