Weird Pact With Cannibal Chief Ends Missionary Bond
San Francisco February 5 A strange pledge ties Dr W L Luering a Methodist missionary to return to Borneo or send a substitute after a cannibal chief seized a skull from a victim and declared the vow binding. Luering had spent ten months among North Borneo cannibals preaching and converting natives before a new field called him away. The chief lamented his parting not to feast but to honor a hired religion, forcing Luering to arrange a substitute who must carry the skull as fulfillment of the pledge.
