The American missionary Lorenzo Warriner Pease noted in his diary:

Today I received a visit from the priest of the village who brought me a present of a basket of figs. After a variety of complaints against the people for not paying him etc at last requested me to lend him 50p. I told him in brief we are forbidden by our society from lending which seemed to be quite a damper.
