I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. ~Philippians 3:13-14~

aneityum (aka new hebrides)
Dr John Geddie (1815-1872) went to Aneityum in 1848 and worked there for 24 years.
Written in his memory are these words:
When he landed, in 1848, there were no Christians.
When he left, in 1872, there were no heathens.
