Summary "John G. Paton, Missionary to the New Hebrides: An Autobiography; First Part" by John G. Paton is an autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the life and experiences of Paton, emphasizing his dedication to missionary work in the New Hebrides during a time of significant cultural and social challenges. As such, it serves as an inspiring testimony of his faith, trials, and his efforts to spread Christianity in a largely uncharted territory. The opening of the autobiography details Paton's early life, contextualizing his upbringing in a modest Scottish cottage and the formative experiences that fostered his spiritual convictions. He reflects on his childhood family life, detailing his parents' influence, particularly the steadfastness of his father in prayer and faith. Paton’s narrative quickly highlights his intense desire to become a missionary, and outlines his struggles through education and various jobs, culminating in his commitment to serve the Lord in foreign missions. This initial portion sets the stage for the larger tale of Paton's mission experiences that follow, showcasing both his personal growth and the societal changes occurring around him.
