HE month has once more been packed with incidents and strewn with mercies, and we present our readers with pages full of evi-

ences of the Lord‘s faithfulness and His working on our behalf. I regret the un- avoidable lateness of the issue, caused through being unexpectedly delayed at Cowra and the proof of the “Aim” being held in uncertainty in Sydney for me. This however allows me here to refer to the Goolagong Convention of native Christians, which has been such a wonderful time of blessing, that the missionaries present agreed that i t would be impossible to exaggerate what our eyes saw and our ears heard of the wonder-working power of our Mighty Saviour. A full report of the Conven- tion will be given next month.

7

UR hearts are set rejoicing when we look upon the efforts Of our dark people to assist in the work

~ of the Lord. We had fresh evi- dences of this at Goolagong this Year. The Hughes family, who live there did all they could think of to make every- body comfortable. The shelter in which the meetings are held had been renewed, and covered with green boughs, blocks had been sunk into the earth to hold planks and thus provide substantial and sufficient seating accommodation. We found a fine bough shed awaiting US and a good breakwind to shelter Our tents, and a tank of water ready for we. AS each new party arrived help WBS ren- dered them to flx up their camps. As a token of appreciation the COWm deacon, Mr. Joe Simpson, collected small m o u n t s from the friends present and bought a flne axe and chisel, which was presented

-- ______--- to Mr. Hughes, senr., as a slight token of our gratitude. The dear old man said: “I accept this with pleasure, and I 8”fl very pleased to do anything I have done. One of our women came in from a distance after we had started a couple of days and brought with her 30 pairs Of rabbits, which she divided amongst all. Then the Convention offering toward the establishment of a Native Workers’ Training Home was very touching- 19/1 in money, several articles nicely worked by the women and boomerangs from the men. The idea of supporting the Training Home when it is opened is taking hold upon the people to an encouraging degree.

E have another triumph to d e ’ clare in the erection of the

Woorabinda Church. In the building our dark men gave

their labour free and joyously unto the Lord. We have now built many churches and every bit of labour has been volun- tary. They do not think of expecting payment, and though sometimes it takes a considerable time to build, they keep at it till it is finished-heered by the kind encouragement of their Mission- aries when the task seems impossible. We are very grateful to our people for this willing service. This time a point when our men could go no further. They were less skilled than our people of other stations, a3d prayer was made and our God helped and delivered. Our brother, Mr. Oakman, who helped 80 considerably in the building of Gayndah Church, expressed his willingness again help us. The Missionaries sent for him and he came gladly and gave six weeks’ volun- tary labour and brought the dimcult task to a successful issue. and the building was dedicated to the Worship Of God on March 19. a report of which will be found in our pages.

FROM THE DARK CHILDREN OF

KARUAH. Karuah,

April loth, 1933. Dear Mrs. Long, I have been asked to write to you and

tell you that the Sunday School children are enclosing YOU 151- to help on the work of the Van. We send it in loving memory of Mr. Long. We are glad to be able to send it and wish .to help Mr. A. Long to carry the Gospel Message to the people out in the western places.

With love from all the people, I remain yours sincerely,

EUNICE MANTON. (for the Sunday Sohool children).


4 OUR A I M . April 24, 1933.

Press Presnell is being offered many openings to speak of the work in Tas- mania in various meetings and in drawing room gatherings. She had Easter en- gagements ahead when writing, and was happy in telling of the great things the Lord has done through the power of the gospel. We expect to welcome Miss Presnell back to her work very soon.

Miss Acland has returned to Walgett, accompanied by Miss Smith, for a short time. She will pack her belongings and return to Sydney and will give help at Headquarters until fully restored.

M i s s Smi th intends to proceed to Bre- warrina to help Miss Ginger during the winter months.

Mr. Hodgson has made progress in health and hopes soon, with Mrs. Hodg- son, to take UP residence a t Karuah, and there carry on the work.

Mrs. Brainwood spoke on behalf of the A.I.M. at t6e Bundaberg Convention, following which the Evangelisation Society forwarded E2/10/ to the funds of the Mission.

M i s -Christie came through to Sydney after the Goolagong Convention to proceed to her old station at Ravenshoe as early as possible. She has spent three or four months in Condobolin, where God has greatly blessed her ministry in bringing many souls to Christ.

Mr. Higgs regrets being unable to return to work. as he and Mrs. Higgs are already deeply attached to our dark people. After many relapses, the doctor has found that he is suffering from almost chronic catarrh and pyorrhoea, and advises the extraction of all his teeth, and an operation on his nose. We sYm- pathfse with this young couDle and ask the prayers of our readers for them.

Mr. W. A. Long had a blessed and successful time in GriWth, Temora and Ariah Park, on his way with the Mem- orial Van to the Goolagong Convention, of which we will hear more in the next “Aim.” He was delayed in Cowra by an attack of influenza. His next call will be a t Bulgandramine, from whence he intends to pass on through Condobolin to Carowra Tank. Mr. R. Smyth (associate worker) pre

vided himself wlth a beautiful set of lantern slides and gave a very telling lantern lecture on Barambah a t Easter- time.

Miss Lightbody is doing splendid work as Superintendent of the Middle West of our N.S.W. field, as well as carrying on the work of her own station a t Cowra with much blessing. She is better in health than she has been for years.

Mr. Wilson (associate worker) renders splendid help in this district with his motor car and in many other ways.

Miss Wheeler. who came with Mrs. Whitebridge to the Goolagong Conven- tion from Bulgandramine proceeded to Sydney for a month’s holiday, while Mrs. Whitebridge returned to their station to hold the fort.

Two more Native Helpers have been set apart for work amongst their people -Mr. Alec Williams, of Cowra, and Mrs. C. Mulr, of Darlington pt.

J- Bager, of Leura, has taken UP the work at Katoomba in the place of Mrs. Wheeler, who very reluctantly has had to give it UP for the time being. The Katoomba Mission people who loved Mrs. Wheeler dearly, gave her a fully attended farewell meeting.

OUR NEW MOVEMENT. A.I.M. GIRLS’ AUXILIARIES.

1933 has seen the beginning of the harnessing of young people of this gener- ation to assist in the work of the A.I.M. We have long desired that the girls’ interested in our work might in some way be united so as to bring the impact per- ceptibly to bear for the advancement of the Mission and the encouragement of young people.

We tried to launch something some time ago, and the first girl’s band began to work under Miss Dew, of North Syd- ney. Her removal from North Sydney led Mrs. Stacker and Miss Leach to take up the threads, and our North Syd- ney Auxiliary has done splendid work. Last year they purchased the material and made up 76 boys’ shirts. besides other useful articles for our stations.

Last year the subject was introduced at our Ladies’ Auxiliary, who decided to foster the movement. Mrs. Bricknell, of Kogarah, gathered a band of girls and inaugurated the second Girls’ Auxiliary. They decided to carry on on the lines of the Ladies’ Auxiliary. They have chosen six of our youngest missionaries and sent them a pair of stockings and other garments in turn, and maintain a correspondence with them.

Mrs. Newton, of Manly, next felt she could do something and a third Auxiliary came into being along the lines of the first one.

Mrs. Rowe, of Forest Lodge, with Mrs. McGrath, organised a band of girls and commenced work, meeting every Wed- nesday night to sew and in other ways help, and thus a fourth Auxiliary took its place.

Mrs. Ellis instituted the fifth a t Dar- ling, Melbourne, which we trust will soon be followed by others in the Southern State.

Now the sixth has come into being in Chatswood this month, with Miss Sharpe as leader, who has sent the first parcel of baby garments to a far off station and are at work on scarves for our old men for the winter.

May God bless you and your leaders, and may you become

Well done, girls!

a mighty force in this great work to evangelise the Aborigines of Australia.

Well, now, what about our boys and young men? Could anybody suggest anything for them? We will be glad to receive suggestions or offers of service in this direction,

KIND FRIENDS. There is a dear dark girl belonging to

Mitchell, Queensland, who has had a great deal of suffering during the past year and a half. You will, no doubt. have read of her in “Our Aim” before this. Her name is Mary Saunders. Mary has just had her fourteenth birthday, and a very happy time it was, although spent in hospital. The nurses were particularly kind and arranged a little lunch, with a nice cake, all iced.

Mary has been a follower of Jesus for a few years now, and she hopes to grow up to work for Him. The good hospital friends have sent her to the seaside for a fortnight, and this is what Mary writes:

‘‘I simply love Sandgate, and I am not forgetting to thank God for the wonderful time I am having down here.”

Pray for this Christian dark girl, that Jesus will keep her bright and shining for Him.

Miss Florrie Rosan, of Eaglehawk, Bendigo, Vic.. sent a fine parcel of scraps and pictures cut from magazines which we have forwarded to one of our stations for use as wallpaper for one of our people’s homes. Thank you, Florrie.

AUXILIARY NOTES ,- ...-

GEELONG. We held our meeting at Mrs. Gowty’s

home, all our members being present. Our leader, Mr. Rawling, lead us in prayer and praise and scripture reading, and as he passed on some helpful thoughts we felt our hearts respond to the message: That in all things He, our Lord, might have the pre-eminence.

Letters were read, one being from Miss Christie, with news of the revival fires burning. May the converts stand firm and win others. One was from Miss Long, telling of the triumphs of the Gos- pel story in spite of flood waters. We wish her grace and strength to continue in the work. Another was from Miss Ginger, with praise for once again being able to advance. And one from Mr. Long. We pray He may touch lives for Christ wherever he goes.

These, with the praise notes and r e quests of the prayer letters, were brought to the Throne of Grace, and our hearts were conscious of the power and presence of the Master, Our Great High Priest, for we know it is His will and purpose and that He heareth us, therefore we know that we have the petitions that we desire of Him.

We also had the joy of sending on a nice parcel of Bibles from Mrs. Thomp- son, a large bundle of Christian Heralds from Mrs. Huggins. and six pounds to help answer the prayers for the sepa- rate needs prayed for. Three pounds of the six was the usual from our dear Bellonne Street folk.

We could do no other than close our meeting with the Doxology.

-E.B.

NORTH GEELONG. A meeting of the above was held a t

the residence of Mr. Kirwood, Shannon Street, N. Geelong, on March 25th. Through the thoughtfulness of Mrs. Butt. who passed on letters received by her from missionaries, those present were SO

impressed that after joining in the Prayer Letter, in turn we thanked God for the way He is blessing the work. The election of oltlcers resulted in Mr. Kir- wood being elected president and Miss Wilshire secretary. The treasurer’s of-

fice was not filled. As Miss Wiltshire is not able to be present for some time, Mr. L. Emery agreed to act until she is available.

As the new prayer meeting is now fairly started, we are earnestly looking forward to joining others in sending up our petitions to God for the work being carried on by the Mission.

-L. EMERY, Actg. Secty.

BRISBANE. A small but very interested company

gathered for our meeting this month. A new member, in the person of Mr. Moore, will fill the gap left by the outgoing of Mr. F. Clissold, a candidate to the work on the field.

News was exchanged of workers from many parts of the field of work among the Aborigines. A time of earnest prayer followed.

It was resolved to keep in personal touch with our Queensland workers by means of letters from the various members. -F. M. BEASLEY.

MELBOURNE. Reports of meetings held during the

month were most encouraging to those present at our monthly meeting in April, and our prayerful good wishes were ex- tended to the New Girls’ Auxiliary at Darling. The loyal co-operation of the friends at Broadford was realised again as we received their report.

Sincere and prayerful sympathy was expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Buck in their sad bereavement in the death of their beloved daughter.

Literature received during the month has been appreciated

Information regarding the work may be obtained or arrangements for addresses on the work on application to the Secre- retary. Phone F.N., 6770.

IcAI1UAH. Our God is able-able to save-able to

keep. I t is a joy to witness the keeping power of our Lord among the Christians here, and to enter into the faithful work of the Native Workers.

Prayer had been made for many months that the Lord would send a miSSiOnaTY to be with them and now they are praising God for answered prayer.

The women had the Mission House spotlessly clean on my arrival on 18th February, and expressed their kindness by lending me various things for the ten days. I was without my snit-Caf5eS.

The daily morning prayer meeting held till tbe end of last year, was readily re- sumed and is proving a blessing to all who gather. We praise God for answered prayer in drawing the people into His house, and pray that the -insaved may be won and backsliders restored. On 10th March we were pleased to wel-

come Miss Cash into our midst. The children once again rendering useful service in wheeling her luggage from the roadside to the Mission House on their barrow.

A J.C.E. has been formed among the children. One of the favourite choruses the children love to sing is “Our God is able and He will.”

The men have willingly given their services to assist us in making the Mission House comfortable and in repairing one of the tanks.

Our ClOSfng thought is contained in Psalm 40, verse 5. -J. BYRON.

young men and women, and we are full of joy because our people are coming to the Lord. May they all stand firmly on the Rock, Chriet Jesus! Our brother, Mr. Lindsay Grant, is a

very great help to us, and we thank God for sending him here.

A very welcome meeting was given him the day after his rarival.

We are expecting to have a proper church building put up here, and we ask all praying partners to pray for God’s help for us. We also need hymn books and bibles for the work.

-C. GOVERNOR.

TINGHA. “God hath not given us the spirit of

fear; but of power and of love.”-2 Tim. 1, 7.

The Lord’s people are going through a testing time regarding their homes. Grass and water are very short for the animals and it seems as if they are being pushed out. But we know the Lord will bring us all out into a large place and we just trust on that He will do great things for us before winter comes.

Several of the Christians were able to get to Armidale this month and had sweet fellowship with Mrs. Callaghan there. We much regretted not being able to accompany them and so meet many of the people from that district, But we hope to have the opportunity soon. A relative of several of our people, Jim Munro, passed away at lnverell hospital. He and his family were here for some weeks previously while he was ill. While the District Shows were on quite a number of our people have been away but all have now returned rejoicing that they have had opportunities of witnessing for thbir Master to others in most casm careless and indifferent to the thinas of

Many thanks to all prayer - partners whom we know continually uphold us in prayer. -R. & V. HARRIS.

TABULAIVI. “Why should I fear the darkest hour Or tremble at the tempter’s power? Jesus vouchsafes to be my tower. Tho’ hot the fight why quit the field? The foe must either fiy or yield,. Jesus vouchsafes to he my shield.” Many times during this month these

words have come into my mind, for truly have we almost trembled at the tempter’s power, but, praise God, Jesus vouchsafes to be a high tower whereunto we may continually resort, and a shield from all the fiery darts of the wicked one. We do earnestly covet the effectual fervent prayers of God‘s dear children for our Christians. some of whom are being sorely tempted and tried by the enemy of souls, that our God may put a wall of fire around them and keep them faithful.

The services, both on the Camp and in the Mission House, have been better attended, and in a very real way God’s presence and power has been manifest. We feel sure there are those who are “almost persuaded” and we long to see them step over the line to Jesus.

The work among the children is encouraging. Our little day school is making marked progress.

We had the joy this month of dedicating one of our baby boys to God at the request of the mother. A few days ago to one of our dear young mothers, who is a Christian, a little daughter was born. We earnestly pray, should the Lord tarry, that this little one may be brought up in the nurture and admoni- tion of the Lord.

We still continue in the strength of the Lord our Saturday night open air meetings, and thank God for those who are upholding us by prayer in this im- portant work for the Master.

Both missionary and people have been greatly cheered and encouraged by the advent of dear Miss Rothwell. May the Lord richly bless our united service for Him in this place. even to the salvation of precious souls.

Our needs, spiritually, temporally and physically have been abundantly met.

We thank God for the dear friends who have sent us reading matter for our people and Sunday School texts.

“How good is the God we adore, Our faithful. unchangeable Friend, Whose love is as great as His power, And knows neither measure nor end.”

G. TOMKINS.

BULGANDRAMINE. Our Lord has been teaching us the

lesson of how He uses yielded souls in His service. “he Lord has used Mr. Stretton, who is detained here, to bring back many and to strengthen the faith of others.

One of our men has been led of the Lord in a mighty way, and he is spread- ing the Word amongst the people.

Satan is not Letting us have an easy victory, and some of our Christians have been tempted away by gambling. Much earnest and fervent prayer is needed to win them back penitent to the foot of the cross.

This month we have been pleased to have with us on different Sundays the Rev. Dempsey and Mr. C. Bennett, of Peak Hill.

We are earnestly looking forward to the Goolagong Conventiolt, where we hope our Christians will be greatly blessed.

-F. WHEELER.

MOBEE. There has been but few of our people

in hospital recently. Last Saturday there was only a Mr. Lumpy, from Belatta, and Clyde Cutmore, who by some means had put a bullet through himself, but was evidently getting on all right.

Last night, Sunday, one of our people, Charles Runga, from South Australia, who has been connected with Mr. Fro- ment‘s Mission, took part in the meeting, and he has agreed to be at a meeting at Pitt’s Camp next Tuesday night, and will probably take part in a meeting a t the large camp on Wednesday night.

RAVENSHOE. Our dear old king has at last passed

through the valley of the shadow of death and gone to be “with the Lord which is far better.” He is the first Of

our Ravenshoe Christians in the Glory Land, and although our own People realised this, it was sad to see that many of those who came to the funeral from other camps did not understand, and we longed to go back with them to their homes to tell them more of our Saviour. Although the usual Death Corroboree was held, we were very thankful that the wailing was much less pronounced and the dear old queen was wonderfully calm. A few days after the funeral the Lord

opened the way for me to go to Millaa Millaa by car-and truly He went before in a wonderful manner. Two of our Christian young men had gone down the weekend before and told the people about our meetings, and when I arrived I found them eager €or the Bread of Life, and although all the people from the larger camp were away on a “walkabout“ we had good meetings round the camp fire each night after they returned from their work, and at the last gathering ten gave their hearts to the Lord. Two of the women remembered Miss Christie’s visit about eighteen months ago, but the others until then had not known who Jesus was! When we see how these dear people are just waiting for the Gospel, we long to be able to reach out to the thousands of their brothers and sisters who still sit in darkness.

Our two Ravenshoe young men, one of the families from Millaa and the young dark girl I had taken with me, set out to walk home on the fourth day, trusting that we would get a lift, and we did for the last six miles. We were picked up by a delivew lorry which only goes out along that road once a month, and that was the Particular day. As the farm at which I had stayed was three miles on the other side of Millaa town, I had already walked fifteen miles, 80 we were full of praise to our God who dwth all things well.

We feel the need of some means of Conveyance to these camps in our dis-

trict, to enable us to visit them regularly, SO value your prayers that the Lord Who is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think” will do this thing for us. -R. G. LONG.

WOORABINDA. “Except the Lord build the house, they

labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”-Psa. 127, 1.

The A.I.M. church building on “Woora- binda,” with forms and table, has been completed. I t was officially opened to the Glory of God on Sunday morning, the 19th March, by Mr. 0. J. Oakman.

The building has been erected by Christians who have given of their time, strength and skill freely, out of love for their Lord. We are much indebted to and wish to thank Mr. Oakmen, who came and willingly laboured for six weeks on the Lord’s House.

Our Lord undertook and supplied every need, so that the building was opened free of debt. Truly the Lord was in the building, thus they that laboured did not labour in vain. Now we are looking to and trusting the Lord to keep this house, enabling us to have same painted and furnished appropriately.

In the afternoon of the opening day a baptismal service was conducted in the Mimosa River. Many gathered to witness two Christian men follow their Lord through the waters of baptism. This was a very blessed and impressive service. as was the after meeting at the church and the gathering around the Lords Table immediately after.

There are eight other candidates who were not fully prepared. They are hoping to testify in like manner shortly. Please pray earnestly for them.

During Mr. Oakman’s Stay we have had the privilege of conducting evening services. These have been well attended. We would value your prayers that un- believers who attended may even yet Yield to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We praise God that already two souls have sought and found Jesus as their Own Personal Saviour within the walls of the new building. I t is our prayerful desire that i t will he the birthplace of many precious souis. W e counting on your prayers.

Thank you. --M. SHANKELTON.

GAYNDAH. We would take this opportunity of

thanking prayer partners for their in- terest in us. Prayer has been answered in that attendances have materially in- creased. There are still some who are indifferent to the things of God, however, but God answers prayer.

The Gospel meetings are times of rich blessing. The Holy Spirit is no doubt working in the hearts of the people. There is still a deep conviction of sin, but as yet no yielding. We feel that very soon a rich harvest will be reaped as the Spirit strives with hardened hearts. The Annual Show is approaching,

which means that there will he an unruly element in the town that will be f a r from helpful to our people. We would value your prayers that both missionaries and people may be led hp the Spirit. The Show is in May. An old Qayndah family who have been

away for many years, returned recently, and we were glad to see them at the Sunday and other services. Mona, a daughter, is a Christian, and another brother, Fergus, is saved.

He is able to save to the uttermost. -H. & M. WILSON.

BARAMBAH. It was with much regret that we fare-

welled Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson on March 12th. Owing to ill-health Mr. Hodgson had to be transferred to a smaller sett le ment in N.S.W. where he can have treat- ment and complete rest for a few months. A large number gathered at the evening meeting to bid them goodbye, and both Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson spoke feelingly, expressing their sorrow at having to leave the Barambah people whom they had learned to love during their brief time with us. We will value the prayers of the Lord’s people that soon His servant may be fully restored to health and strength. The Lord is graciously supply- ing local help while we await the appoint-

ment of another missionary, Messrs. N. Smyth and J. and S. Forward giving help with the meetings on Sundays, and Mr. Honhke (Baptist Minister) taking classes a t the dormitory meetings, and Miss M. Forward a class in the Sunday School.

We have had to let some of the week- day classes lapse, but we trust to begin afresh when another worker arrives.

The enemy is busy, but prayer prevails and souls continue to come into the Kingdom.

-M. CAMPBELL.

CAIRNS. How often have we whose hearts are

lighted with the Saviour’s love and with love for the dark people of the North, upheld them at the throne of grace praying that ways and means be made by the Almighty One to reach them and give them the blessed news of salvation!

My heart’s desire has not been granted yet to pioneer the Far North. The way has not yet opened, a8 the financial cost is heavy. The Lord has other ways of answering prayer. A few weeks ago I visited the outgoing train to bid farewell to a number of dark people Who came from the North on their way to Palm Island. They were glad when I told them there was a Mission at Palm Island, and workers.

Amongst them were two children; to one of them, little Daisy from Batavia, I gave a doll. Would that the members of Miss Cook’s Bible Class had Seen the de- light of that child as she admired and hugged her dolly to her.

Lately here in Cairns I have had an opportunity of meeting some Ol the Cook- town people and hearing news from them of how well some can read. Pray for them that the seed sown will Held fruit on the great Harvest Day, which is fast approaching. Pray also for blessing among the children in Cairns and district.

THE MEMORIAL VAN CUM M ERAGU NJA.

Leaving Barham I came on to Echuca and spent a night with Mr. and Mrs. Payne, our associate workers, before going down to Cummeragunja Station, where I stayed for nearly four weeks. The manager, Mr. Austin, and his son (the school teacher) and family, were kindness itself, and never before have I been so showered with gifts and thought- ful loving acts by the people. Mr. Atkin- son, the Native Helper, whose health has been poor for a long time, was a great help in visitation work, accompanying me around, sometimes bringing his harp, which he plays beautifully.

We had a “full programme” of meetings during those weeks, and though the enemy fought very hard, the Lord wrought some notable things for us, making crooked places straight and bringing some to Himself. On the flnal Sunday afternoon 1 had

the privilege of baptizing Mr. Atkinson at his own request, before a large company gathered on the river bank, Mr. Payne and a visiting preacher from Melbourne (Mr. Abercrombie) taking part in the service. On the last night a flne crowd gathered,

and I had the great pleasure and privilege of dedicating Mr. Gordon Aulton as Native Helper. He has borne a good testimony since over a year ago, through Mr. Ashmore and Mr. L. Grant, ne came out for the Lord. Mr. Aulton was lifted from the miry clay of drunkenness and other sin and has “a new song in his mouth even praise unto our God.” May God richly bless him and use him abundantly, “for His name’s sake.”

The people, through Mr. Atkinson, p re sented me with various things, including a purse containing S1/5/- for the work.

A prayer meeting in the mornings is now being carried on regularly, under the leadership of one of the Christian women, Mrs. Nora Charles.

MOONAH CULLAH. Moving on from there I came to

Moonah Cullah station, on the Edwards River, and spent a little over a week there, working in conjunction with Miss Sutton and Miss Bailey. The Manager and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Burrage, also cordially welcomed me. and those few

days were happy and profitable indeed. The lantern lecture on the work, always a powerful attraction and means of preaching the Gospel, drew a large crowd here. Most of the meetings were splen- didly attended.

WEDDING BELLS. Wedding bells were ringing, too. I had

the rather unique experience of perform- ing the marriage ceremony for one who was named after myself, Steven Arnold Charles, who was married to Miss Bessie Cooper, both having offered for work on the mission field. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and a large white “bell” hanging from the centre of an archway of green, over the heads of the couple, made the scene complete.

The wedding breakfast that evening was a very happy function, and it is good to know that the marriage was hallowed by the presence and blessing the Son of God.

The last night witnessed a stern battle, when the powers of darkness fought fiercely. But “if God be for us who can be against us?” In the meeting a returned soldier surrendered to the Lord, and several women began anew, but after all was over, in personal work late at night more results were given. Three other men took their stand one by one beneath the shadow of the Cross, the last one at nearly midnight.

DARLINGTON POINT.

The next stop was a t Darlington Point, 150 miles away, where there are about 100 of our dark people. I t was a great sight to see the Native Missionary, Mr. Bobbie Peters, who has for 12 months now been fighting a gallant battle; de- formed and labouring under bodily in- firmity, could those who ‘hold the ropes” catch a glimpse of this scene, it would be a wonderful uplift and encouragement, I feel sure.

Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson were there some days before the Van arrived, and another couple from Cummeragunja were with them; and for some months now Mrs. Muir, from Barmah, has been “labouring in the Gospel,” particularly among the women and children, having been a great help to Mr. Peters. Mrs. Macgray,

We had a “massed attack” there.

organist from Cowra, for a couple of weeks “joined in the fray” also. SO in the weekend when we were all

together we had a glorious time, quite a little “convention,” Mr. E. Atkinson (Native Pastor) preaching the Gospel with “power from on high,” and with visible effect, for a number came out in response to the Gospel invitation. On the Saturday night the lantern pictures were used to show God’s mighty power at work in other places. On the Monday the Cummeragunja con-

tingent moved off on the way to Goola- gong, and on Thursday the Van and the Cowra people left on the same journey.

I believe that the best days of Darling- ton Point are yet ahead, and that the seed sown will bear a harvest for eter- nity.

NEW WORKERS. MRS. WHITRIDGE AND MISS DURBIN.

Mrs. Whitridge, who has been helping in our work at Bulgandramine, has been accepted by the Council of the A.I.M. as a missionary. As Mrs. Whitridge is not a young woman she will be attached in a capacity which will not make the demands of a missionary in full upon her. Our sister is the widow of the first China Inland Mission Secretary for Aus- tralia, and comes with the love and confidence of many friends.

* At the April Council Meeting of the

A.I.M., Miss Esma Durbin, of Tarro, a member of the Newcastle Baptist Taber- nacle, was accepted as a missionary on probation. Miss Durbin heard God’s Call to the work in a meeting at which Our Auxiliary Secretary, Mrs. Brown, gave an address. Besides a t other meetings, Miss Durbin will be farewelled at the Newcastle Annual Meeting in the Town Hall on May 4th, at 7.45 P.m.

GORDON PRAYER MEETING. The new prayer meeting a t Gordon

made a good start with 12 Present in the home of Mrs. Logan, Logan Brae. Pacific Highway. Mrs. Long conducted it with the assistance of Rev. P. C. Bennett. We were pleased to have Mrs. Buck, of Mel- bourne, with us, the wife Of one Of the

thougrt how nice it would be to have some fruit. Funds would not permit it, but talking over what they would really like, they decided that water melon would be appreciated; then realised that half a melon was all they could eat. They left it with the Lord, knowing He could supply all that was for their good. Three hours later a knock came at the Mission House door, a child saying: “Mother said will you please accept this.” “This,” praise God, was half a water melon. According to your faith so be i t unto you.

Being desirous of giving a dear friend a copy of “Daily Light,” and only having 9d. in money, I prayed to the Lord that He would send me even 2/- that I might purchase a copy. Within an hour I had 10/- placed in my hand. It was with a heart full of praise to God that the book was purchased. May we ask big things at the hand of our Lord.

THE ERECTION OF WOORABINDA CHURCH. -~

A REPORT PREPARED BY MISS SHANKELTON AND READ A T T H E

OPENING BY MISS CAVANAGH ON MARCH I Q .

During our Director's visit to Woora- binda in June last year, the Superinten- dent, Mr. Colledge, confined his offer of land, on the camp, for the erection of a Church Building. The grant was gladly accepted and arrangements made, and a site was chosen the same day by Mrs. Long, Miss Shankelton and Miss Pres- nell, in the presence of Mr. Colledge.

Thus it wag decided to erect a church building in connection with the A.I.M. work on Woorabinda, trusting God to supply every need. The Superintendent kindly pegged out the ground and pro- mised to extend any help possible during the erection of the building. On July 12, 1932, a meeting was called

of christian men who were interested and willing to help. Ten men attended this flrst meeting, and all signifled their desire and willingness to help. A com- mittee of four men was formed, those elected being-George Daisy, Norman Shields. Davy Collins and George Saund- ers. These men undertook to organise working bees, stand responsible for tools etc.

The building was to be 18ft x 25ft, raised 2ft on blocks, the framework to be of bush timber, bark walls, sawn tim ber for flooring-boards, plates, etc., and iron roof. But realising that this would not meet future needs, it was decided to extend the building, making it 18ft x 36% and instead of bark weatherboards were provided for the walls.

It was also decided to hold a lunch- hour prayer meeting in connection with the building, each Tuesday, a t Willie Lakeland's camp. This meeting has gen- erally been well attended and proved a source of strength.

The men laboured willingly, trusting the Lord to guide their unskilled hands. After the studs and plates were in Place, they could go no further. The building WR&S at a standstill for four months. On January 23 arrangements were

made and timber ordered from the Set- tlement sawmill. Within a fortnight the Lord opened the way for Mr. Oakman to come through and he immediately took the oversight of the building. We are much indebted to this servant of Gad. for he has given time and talent, without r e muneration of any kind. Mr. Colledge again set flve christian

men free to labour with Mr. Oakman, and within six weeks all was complete. To some the course of erection may

have seemed strange, for, contrary to building regulations, the floor was laid first, then the walls went up, and lastly the roof; but this was as the Lord p r e vided, and He undertook and overruled in it all. There have been difficulties and apparent delays, but in i t all we have seen the hand of the Lord. The financial need has been supplied in answer to prayer, and it gives us great joy to see this church building opened, free of debt, to the Honour and Glory of God.

We cannot give a flnanciai statement Yet, as all accounts are not yet to hand, but we believe the actual monetary cost to be about S39.

We desire on behalf of the A.I.M. of Australia to thank all who have helped in any way; it would be impossible to mention all helpers by name, but not one is forgotten.

We publicly thank and praise God for this House of Worship.

-M. SHANKELTON.
