Fix this textIn Brief.
Fix this textA lowly Man —He takes my sin
Fix this textAnd bears the heavy load ;
Fix this textA lowly Man—He takes my hand,
Fix this textAnd leads me up the road ;
Fix this textAnd when I know this lowly Man
Fix this textIs my Creator! God!
Fix this textOh, this hath solved me much dark speech,
Fix this textAnd loosend tongues once dumb;
Fix this textFor all creation round me now
Fix this textA gospel had become :
Fix this textAnd what had seemed to me, before,
Fix this text- Mere wild, confused Babel,
Fix this textIs now a fire-ton gued Pentecost
Fix this textProclaiming —“ Christ is able!”
Fix this textYks, “Christ is able.” This has been glori-
Fix this textously proven on many of our Mission
Fix this textStations during the month.
Fix this textThe quarterly time of prayer was held on
Fix this textour various Mission Stations on August 17.
Fix this textA consciousness of the presence and power
Fix this textof the Unseen One was realised at each place
Fix this textof prayer.
Fix this textAs a result of these prayer times several
Fix this textsubjects of many prayers were won for the
Fix this textLord.
Fix this textOur La Perouse Missionary has had a busy
Fix this texttimeduring the month (being single-handed)
Fix this textthere being a press of visitors, and some
Fix this textlittle sickness amongst the people.
Fix this textOur worker, Miss Baker, is caring for four
Fix this textgirls, which, with the secretarial and Mis-
Fix this textsion duties, keeps her fully occupied.
Fix this textMiss Hetherington, our latest probationer,
Fix this texthas been laid aside—a victim of pneumonia,
Fix this textand has been an inmate of the Little Bay
Fix this textHospital for the past four weeks.
Fix this textWe are pleased to know that although
Fix this texthaving been seriously ill—our sister is now
Fix this textslowly mending.
Fix this textThe Season of Prayer at La Perouse on
Fix this textAugust 17th attracted quite a number of
Fix this textnew friends, amongst others being Mrs
Fix this textW ertheim, from America.
Fix this textVery few of the members of the Central
Fix this textCouncil were with us in person —a fact
Fix this textwhich was much regretted.
Fix this textSickness was responsible for the absence
Fix this textof some of our workers.
Fix this textWe were sorry to hear of the sickness of
Fix this textMiss George, she being laid aside with con-
Fix this textgestion of the lungs. Our sister we learn is
Fix this textgetting better.
Fix this textLatest to hand from Miss Pain goes to
Fix this textshow that God is blessing her in her new
Fix this texthome at Bellbrook, in health as well as in
Fix this textthe work amongst the people.
Fix this textWe should have acknowledged last month,
Fix this texta donation of a £1 to assist Miss Lock’s
Fix this textwork at Poster, from a “ Sympathiser” in
Fix this textNewcastle ; but the news reached us too late
Fix this textfor last issue. The donation was a direct
Fix this textanswer to prayer.
Fix this textA lantern talk on the work of the Mission
Fix this textwas given by the President in the Methodist
Fix this textChurch, Dulwich Hill, on Monday, Aug 18.
Fix this textMr E. J. Telfer has just returned for a
Fix this texttrip into the West. Our worker has had a
Fix this texttrying time, and now is having a much
Fix this textneeded rest
Fix this textMr. D. H. Caldwell our Bellbrook Mis-
Fix this textsionary, has gone south, and hopes to visit
Fix this textmany of the camps between Sydney and the
Fix this textVictorian border, telling the story of the
Fix this textCross at each stopping place.
Fix this textPray for our brother that he may be much
Fix this textused during his southern tour.
Fix this textIn a letter to the Editor, in the Methodist ,
Fix this textthe Rev. J. Colwell doubts the power of
Fix this textGod to save our Australian dark brethren.—
Fix this textspeaking of the work as a “ forlorn hope.”
Fix this text“ God’s arm is not shortened that he can-
Fix this textnot save,” and to limit the power of God is
Fix this textto dishonour Hin.
Fix this textThe dark people have an able champion
Fix this textin the Rev. W. W. Roger, and we herewith
Fix this textthank Mr and Mrs. Roger for their kind-
Fix this textness to Missionaries and people.
Fix this textOur next Monthly Prayer Meeting is on
Fix this textSatuuiay, Sept. 7, at 3 p.m., in St. Barnabas’
Fix this textScho oom.
Fix this textThe leader is Mr. Cormack, and a cordial
Fix this textwelcome will be accorded to Christian
Fix this textfriends of any religious denomination.
Fix this textMies Anderson Hughes, who has been
Fix this texttouring the North Coast in the interest of
Fix this textNo-license, has visited the reserve at Kyogle,
Fix this textand also at Purfleet, seeing the work amongst
Fix this textthe dark folk.
Fix this textThe former is a Government Station and
Fix this textthe latter one of our Mission Stations, and
Fix this textthe visitor was much impressed, with the
Fix this textimproved condition of those brought regularly
Fix this textunder the influence of the Gospel of Jesus.
Fix this textThe Council are beginning to think of
Fix this textour annual Conference and other gatherings
Fix this textin November.
Fix this textPray that the right place, as well as
Fix this textspeakers, may be chosen, for our Annual
Fix this textPublic Meetings, and other gatherings.
Fix this textThere will, of ' course (d.v.), be the
Fix this textAnnual Picnic and other Meetings at La
Fix this textPerouse on King’s Birthday, including sports
Fix this textfor the people, etc.
Fix this textGod has been with us at all our past con-
Fix this textferences, but we are looking toward to a
Fix this texttime of great spiritual uplifting at the 1907
Fix this textAnniversary.
Fix this textWill our readers kindly pray that our
Fix this textdesires may be gratified, and God glorified.
Fix this textMiss Baker desires to acknowledge a nice
Fix this textparcel from Miss Clement’s Sewing Bami,
Fix this textwhich included two quilts, two boys shirts,
Fix this texta dress, apron, petticoat, and other useful
Fix this textarticles.
Fix this textA case of treacle, valued at about 30s. has
Fix this textbeen forwarded to Miss Baker, from Mr.
Fix this textQ. L. Deloitte, for distribution amongst the
Fix this textpeople.
Fix this textOne of the La Perouse Christians Mrs. J.
Fix this textLongbottom passed away early on Sunday
Fix this textmorning. We ask your prayers for the be-
Fix this textreaved husband and motherless child.
Fix this textOthers on the reserve are also laid aside,
Fix this textincluding Mrs. Timbery, sen.
Fix this textMiss Elliott, who is kindly supplying Miss
Fix this textAnderson’s place, is getting on very nicely
Fix this textat Sackville. The people have shown her
Fix this textmuch kindness.
Fix this textMiss report of her mother’s
Fix this texthealth is not very encouraging, though she is
Fix this texta little better)
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
