AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES'  

ADVOCATE.  

No. 167  

ReKistered as Newspaper for  

Transmission by Post.  

May 31, 1915.  

One Shilling per Annum,  

In Brief.  

What the hand is to the lute,  

What the breath is tc. the. flute,  

What is fragrance to the smell  

What the spring is'ho the well,  

What the flower is to the bee—  

That is Jesus Christ to me.  

What the mother to the child,  

What the guide in faithless wild,  

What is oil to troubled wave,  

What is ransom to the slave,  

What is water to the sea—  

That is Jesus Christ to me.  

C. H. SPURGEON.  

There is not much out of the ordinary to report  

*his month.  

On some stations progress has been made, but  

on others matters remain much as they were last  

month.  

There have been changes in the location of our  

WA. workers. Mr Fryer has been appointed  

Manager and Teacher of new station near Kat'  

anning.  

Mrs. Fryer has had to undergo an operation  

latest reports tell of successful operation, and  

speedy recovery.  

Mr. and Mis. Smith have returned from Sun-  

day Island, and intend visiting New Zealand and  

South Australia.  

We are hoping that they will favour N.B.W.  

with visit, as we feel cure they have most in-  

teresting story to tell.  

Mrs Fox-Angelo has been compelled, through  

removal trom Perth, to mire from the position of  

Secretary of the W.A. Council.  

Her changed address as rendered necessary as  

result of her son leaving for the front.  

The W.A. Council accorded Mrs. Fox Angelo  

hearty vote of thanks for the work so ably and  

willingly performed for Christ and |the Ab-  

origines.  

We would also like to place on record our ap-  

preciation of the capital work done by the retir-  

ing Secretary, and wish her much blessing in her  

new home.  

Miss Roach, who has for long time been doing  

service as agent for the Advocate has been elected  

Secretary, and we give our sister hearty greeting  

as she takes up her new duties.  

Mrs. Harris has been elected successor to Miss  

Roach, as agent for the Advocate and she will be  

pleaded to receive the names of new subscribers,  

aod also any money due from old ones.  

Miss Teller reports visiting camps around  

Perth. Guildford is specially noted as place  

where good work could be undertaken school  

is an urgent need.  

The splendid rains of the past few weeks call  

for loudest praise. Our Nucoorilma people are  

glad to get back to their homes, and Miss Hagan  

to her school and children.  

Miss Frazer, from the Newcastle district, has  

begun her term of missionary probation at La  

Perouse.  

Miss Fowler returned from her lengthened  

visit to Victoria. She left her father in indifferent  

heaith, but was herself greatly benefited by the  

rest and change.  

Mr. and Mrs. Nossiter have severed their con-  

nection with the Mission. Their resignations were  

received with much regret.  

Mr. Nossiter heard the bugle call, and is now  

in training. He was in the Sjuih African war,  

and could not resist the “ Call to arms.”  

We ask for him and jhis continued prayers  

of the Lord’s people.
