“ What a truly refreshing but satisfying and informative observation by the good Rev. Dr Ma'afu Palu! It surely lights up the totally all-embracing 'darkness' overhanging yet penetrating the whole of Tonga, naturally, materially, educationally, politically, morally and spiritually-religiously.

Keep it up, and keep it on, Sir, all for a damn good cause: the liberation of the people of Tonga from the perpetual bondage of ignorance, the very insightful wish and prayer of Tupou I, whose worse fear was that his people's lack of knowledge, that is, ignorance, is a path to destruction. ('Oku 'auha hoku kakai koe vale!) ”
