The Rev. Isaiah Bunter has disappeared into the interior of the Solomon Islands, and it is feared that he may have been devoured by the natives, as there has been a considerable revival of religious customs among the Polynesians.--A real paragraph from a real Paper; only the names altered. <br /> <br />It was Isaiah Bunter <br />Who sailed to the world's end, <br />And spread religion in a way <br />That he did not intend. <br /> <br />He gave, if not the gospel-feast, <br />At least a ritual meal; <br />And in a highly painful sense <br />He was devoured with zeal. <br /> <br />And who are we (as Henson says) <br />That we should close the door? <br />And should not Evangelicals <br />All jump at shedding Gore? <br /> <br />And many a man will melt in man, <br />Becoming one, not two, <br />When smacks across the startled earth <br />The Kiss of Kikuyu. <br /> <br />When Man is the Turk, and the Atheist, <br />Essene, Erastian, Whig, <br />And the Thug and the Druse and the Catholic <br />And the crew of the Captain's gig.<br /><br />Gilbert Keith Chesterton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-higher-unity/
