The day was no longer than his kindness.

Who is there so great as Tusitala?
Who is there more loving-compassionate?
What is your love to his love ?" So the chiefs took their friend to the top of a steep mountain which he had loved, and there buried him.

It was a mighty task.
The civilised world mourns the great author.

The name of Robert Louis Stevenson is lastingly inwrought into English literature.

But the Samoans mourn in his loss a brother, who outdid all others in loving-kindness, and so long as the island in the Pacific exists, Tusitala will be gratefully remembered, not because he was so greatly gifted, but because he was a good man.
The phrase, "The Road of the Loving Heart," is a gospel in itself.
"The day is not longer than his kindness" is a new beatitude.
