Milne served in the New Hebrides for more than fifty years. Milne encouraged the production of arrowroot as a means of paying for the printing of religious books in the local language. Along with Daniel Macdonald and John W. Mackenzie, Milne translated the Old Testament into Efatese. He and Macdonald were involved in a feud that lasted for more than fifteen years, which started with a disagreement over how to translate the word "God" in the local language. (en)
