Fix this textOne Shilling per Annum.
Fix this textIn Brief.
Fix this text** Father, I do not ask
Fix this textThat Thou wilt choose some other task
Fix this textAnd make it mine. I pray—
Fix this textBut this: let every day
Fix this textBo moulded still.
Fix this textBy Thine own hand ; my will
Fix this textBe only Thine, however deep
Fix this textI have to bend Thy hand to keep
Fix this textLet me not simply do, but be content
Fix this textSure that the little crosses each are eenL;
Fix this textAnd no mistake can ever be
Fix this textWith Thine own hand to choose for me.
Fix this textOur 1920 Conference is over, and Missionaries
Fix this textwill soon be wending their way stationwards.
Fix this textThe meetings were all fairly well attended, and
Fix this textmuch blessing resulted.
Fix this textMissionaries were all conucious of the promised
Fix this textpresence, and return home blessed.
Fix this textThe Farewell Meeting to Miss Malcolm took
Fix this textplace under adverse conditions—Lightning, thun-
Fix this textder, and rain.
Fix this textThe attendance was somewhat interfered with,
Fix this textbut there was an appreciative audience, and the
Fix this textaddresses were much enjoyed.
Fix this textMr. Arnott’s message of “ Good-bye,” was de-
Fix this textlightful, and Miss Malcolm’s response inspiring.
Fix this textThe Annual Meeting was agopd one, being well
Fix this textattended, and the messages attentively listened to.
Fix this textThe Annual Repoit was encouraging, although
Fix this textnot much in the forward march recorded.
Fix this textThe Scripture motto passed along for 1920 was,
Fix this text—“ Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due
Fix this textseason we shall reap if we faint not.”
Fix this textThe children from the Home, (four girls), sang
Fix this textvery prettily at the various meetings.
Fix this textThe behaviour and general bearing of the little
Fix this textones was commented upon as all that could be
Fix this textdesired.
Fix this textThe Bomaderry Home was represented by
Fix this textMatron Fowler and Miss Finlayson, both of whom
Fix this textseemod much “ run down ’*
Fix this textNevertheless they both had a good story to tell,
Fix this textwhich seemed to grip the listeners.
Fix this textTo many it was a new story —having heard of
Fix this textthe Hugh Morwick Aborigines Children’s Home
Fix this textfor the first time.
Fix this textThe Anniversary Day Annual Outing, at La
Fix this textPerouse, was all that could be desired.
Fix this textOne pleasing feature of this year’s Conference
Fix this textwas the gathering together of old and new Miss-
Fix this textionaries and Councillors.
Fix this textMr. and Mrs. Fryer, Miss Leggatt, Mr. Nossit-
Fix this textter, Mrs. Breckenridge, Mr. Terry, Mr. Hetchell,
Fix this textand other old friends have all came into touch
Fix this textagain.
Fix this textMies Baker, our faithful La Perouse worker,
Fix this texthas not been too well, and could do with an ex-
Fix this texttended rest.
Fix this textThanks to the kind interest of Mr. Rien, of
Fix this textBethshan Holiness Mission, two lady workers
Fix this textkindly relieved the Missionaries from the Home
Fix this textto attend conference,
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
