Fix this textOne Shilling per Annum.
Fix this textIn Brief.
Fix this textJit st as God leads me, I abide
Fix this textIn faith, in hope, in suffering true ;
Fix this textHis strength is ever by my side.
Fix this textCan aught on them my hold undo P
Fix this textI hold me firm in patience, knowing
Fix this textThat God my life is still bestowing,
Fix this textThe best in kindness sending.
Fix this text— Sampurtus, 1735.
Fix this textThe door has been opened in several new
Fix this textplaces, thus enabling the President and
Fix this textMissionaries to give talks about the work
Fix this textduring the month.
Fix this textOur Secretary fears that many will think
Fix this texttheir kindnesses overlooked, as, since send-
Fix this texting a word of thanks to our last issue, others
Fix this texthave come to mind who ought to have been
Fix this textremembered. But the Lord is not unmind-
Fix this textful of'their work and labour of love,
Fix this textMrs. Jenkyn, of Chatswood, has remem-
Fix this textbered us with useful packets. Mrs. Sheldon
Fix this texthas also sent along another of her useful
Fix this textlots, representing many hours of stitching.
Fix this textIt was also a great pleasure to hear that
Fix this textseveral young folks at Hobart met together
Fix this textand made garments, which were sent over as
Fix this texta contribution to our Christmas trees.
Fix this textMrs. Hulls, and her Christian friends, at
Fix this textHobart, meet together regularly for prayer
Fix this texton behalf of the Aborigines.
Fix this textThere are many ways of sowing the good
Fix this textseed, and some sown by Mr. Stocks, with
Fix this textthe aid of his Bioscopic Lantern Yiews, at
Fix this textLa Perouse, fell on good ground.
Fix this text“ Look, Miss, that has taught me a lesson
Fix this textthat I Bhall not forget,” said one, when
Fix this textspeaking of some of the views.
Fix this textWrites a worker —“ It is a sad fact that
Fix this textmany of the coloured people are not receiv-
Fix this texting religious instruction. Many of them
Fix this textlive miles away from towns.”
Fix this text“ When Christians do not come into con-
Fix this texttact with them, they are apt to forget that
Fix this textsuch a race of people exists; or, remember-
Fix this texting them, to think that they > incapable of
Fix this textreceiving religious truths.”
Fix this text“ White men have helped them down-
Fix this textwards, and white men must help them to
Fix this textfind God.”
Fix this textA little child on one of our Mission Sta-
Fix this texttions, was observed kneeling by her bedside
Fix this textpraying." “ What were you praying for ?”
Fix this textasked her mother, curious to know. “ I was
Fix this textonly asking the Lord to give us a good din-
Fix this textner, and that there shall be no more fights
Fix this texton the Station.”
Fix this textA skeleton was found at Tuncurry. The
Fix this textskull and white teeth, with other surround-
Fix this textings, led to the conclusion that it was the
Fix this textskeleton of an aboriginal.
Fix this textThe body had been buried in a sitting
Fix this textposition, with the face toward the east. It
Fix this textis supposed to have been buried 50 years.
Fix this textMiss Black has been visiting the dark
Fix this textpeople at Coolangatta, reading and praying
Fix this textwith them in their homes.
Fix this textMiss Thompson has started a day school
Fix this textfor the children on the Plumpton station,
Fix this textmany of them being too small to walk the
Fix this textdistance to the Public School.
Fix this textThe Missionary’s verdict is—“ My day
Fix this textschool is getting on splendidly; best little
Fix this textchildren you could find.”
Fix this textWriting, after a season of discourage-
Fix this textment, one worker says —“ I would gladly go
Fix this textshort, or not know where my meals were to
Fix this textcome from for the whole year, if the people
Fix this textwould only give their hearts to the Lord, or
Fix this textthe girls could be saved from the sinful lives
Fix this textthey are leading.”
Fix this textWe may be charged with betraying confi-
Fix this textdence, but this is the spirit of a true mis-
Fix this textsionary, and will show our readers how the
Fix this textMissionaries love those amongst whom they
Fix this textlabour, and the One who gave Himself.
Fix this textMiss Pain is at present at La Perouse,
Fix this textin charge of the work during Miss Baker’s
Fix this textabsence, the latter having a month’s rest.
Fix this textMiss Elliott, recently of
Fix this texthaving kindly offered her services for the
Fix this textmonth, is also at La Perouse, and will re-
Fix this textlieve Miss Pain of some of the work.
Fix this textMiss Oldrey writes ‘ Press on !’ was
Fix this textthe message the Lord gave me for the
Fix this textNew Year, and I believe He means me to do
Fix this textso in every sense of the word.”
Fix this textPray for our sister, Miss Buftsworth.
Fix this textOne sentence to a friend runs thus —“ It
Fix this textseems to me that I am all needs ; but my
Fix this textFather’s storehouse is full. May He give
Fix this textme faith to claim it.”
Fix this textAnother Missionary says—“ Pray for me
Fix this textthat I may learn more fully the meaning of
Fix this textconsecration, of 4 Go labour on, spend and
Fix this textbe spent, and that I may count it enough to
Fix this textbe as the Master. I long to give as Christ
Fix this textgave.” -.9
Fix this textMr. Telfer, who has returned from the
Fix this textnorthern rivers, has been telling about the
Fix this textwork in the Newcastle district. /
Fix this textThe Monthly Prayer Meeting for God’s
Fix this textblessing upon the Mission and His work
Fix this textamongst our dark brothers and sisters will
Fix this textbe held on Saturday next, March o, at St.
Fix this textBarnabas’ Church. If you are in sympathy
Fix this textwith this branch of God’s work, won’t you
Fix this textcome and join with us in our monthly time
Fix this textof prayer ?
Fix this textThe President of the Mission spent Sunday
Fix this textlast with Miss Thompson and her people at
Fix this textPlumpton, and our Vice-President, Brother
Fix this textPlay ford, journeyed to Roseby Park to give
Fix this textMiss Black a little assistance.
Fix this textThe Bel]})rook Missionary, Bro. Caldwell,
Fix this textwrites —“Truly God has been watching
Fix this textover me in a very special way during the
Fix this textmonth. My little house was nearly blown
Fix this textoff its feet a few days ago, and a streak of
Fix this textlightning flashed, I believe, within twenty-
Fix this textyards of us on Sunday last, during one of
Fix this textthe almost everyday storms which have been
Fix this textraging.”
Fix this textMiss Buttsworth, who is working on the
Fix this textBellinger without Mission House or Church,
Fix this textwrites —“ I do trust it will not be long be-
Fix this textfore I have my house and church built.”
Fix this textShe also said— u The people are very anx-
Fix this textious for me to come out there, and the men
Fix this textare going to help build.” Our sister’s needs
Fix this textare great. Pray that God will meet.them.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
