Sg.Merah: Bishop Warne
萬會督(Bishop Warne)是美以美(現稱衛理公會)在東南亞區的領導人,他接到福州美以美來信表示有一批會友自福州各地移民婆羅洲,由於地理上靠近,希望居住在新加坡的會督能前往照顧。
他收到信時,剛好黃乃裳帶領第二批福州人抵步新加坡,他就與林稱美牧師(後來帶領福州人前往西馬實兆遠開墾)去探望他們。當時謠言四起,說被賣豬仔,移民的心惶惶,怕被黃乃裳出賣了。萬會督勤慰他們,表示黃氏是會友傳道不會帶他們去“荷蘭”(此指福州話每次有被人耍了的意思,是筆者自己加進去),而是帶他們去詩巫。最後他表示願意與第二批的移民一起去詩巫。因為有會督的話及會督的同行,大家才剛強壯膽,重新振作,一起來到了詩巫。
1901年3月16日來到了詩巫,第二天3月17日禮拜天,萬會督在新珠山河畔主持感恩禮拜。
