Fix this textIf I had to choosa a text for this address I
Fix this textshould not need to go beyond the opening words
Fix this textof the Lesson:
Fix this text"Let us now praise famous men, and our
Fix this textfathers that begat us".
Fix this textWe remember the days of old, and in partic-
Fix this textular that 29th day of October, 1820, whan, very
Fix this textclose to this spot,
Fix this text"in and immediately under the fly of the
Fix this textGovernor’s large tent, the Rev. Mr Cartwright
Fix this textperformed Divine Worship and gave a very excell-
Fix this textent appropriate sermon, strongly expressing
Fix this textthe Justice, good policy «nd expediency of
Fix this textcivilising the black natives of the country and
Fix this textsettling them in townships."
Fix this textA sermon which, as someone remarked to me
Fix this textrecently would be quite topical today.
Fix this textMost of you will know the circumstances
Fix this textwhich had brought Governor Macquarie and his
Fix this textparty to this spot, ne and his companions had
Fix this textcome from Sydney, reaching here on 23rd October.
Fix this textThey were joined on 26th October by another
Fix this textparty, including Commissioner Bigge and his
Fix this textsecretary, Thomas Hobbes Scott, who had cone
Fix this textfrom Bathurst, probably by the marked line which
Fix this textCharles Throsby had travelled, from near
Fix this textCanyonleigh to Bathurst, in 1819. The whole
Fix this textparty left on the following day for the Great
Fix this textLake, which the Governor named "Lake George",
Fix this text"in honour of his present Majesty", and returned
Fix this textto their camp here, on 29th October.
Fix this textThat they should, almost immediately, have
Fix this textassembled for Divine Worship, would seem to
Fix this texthave been in accordance with the Governor’s
Fix this textusual practice.
Fix this textIn his first address, after his arrival in
Fix this textthe Colony, "he strongly recommended all classes
Fix this textto a strict observance of all religious duties
Fix this textand a constant and regular attendance at divine
Fix this textworship on Sundays and other holidays set apart
Fix this textfor the purpose."
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
