G .AIN this month we have seen OUT God answer prayer in the realm of finance. Although we cannot report, as last month, a record

inflow to the General Fund, but rather a small one, we still have reason to testify to His faithfulness. We were encouraged by a gift of S5 from a young lady who visited one of our mission stations and was stirred to the depths of her being by what she saw of the Lord’s work amongst our dark people. This came at a time when we were asking the Lord for tra- velling expenses for an outgoing candidate. The donation was sent to use 88 we felt led for any special need. It covered also the fares of a missionary returning to the field. A B10 donation at the same time enabled us to send one week‘s rent to all our missionaries in rented premises.

The next encouragement was the sum of 0 6 / 5 / - given anonymously to pay the reglstration of the Mitchell motor car as a direct result of prayer made by the Glenorie A.I.M. Prayer Circle, and several other donations have been God sent.

Touching little stories of God‘s supply have reached us from our missionaries. Two of them who are dependent upon the mail car bringlng out their groceries, etc., once a week, ordered llb. of butter, but the mailman forgot it. He had, how- ever, brought out a Parcel to them, and on openlng it they found 61bs. o f butter, the glft of one Of our candidates. The missionary remarks: “How the Lord does work and arrange things!” The same

missionaries were at prayer when a neighbour drove over with a drayload of wood for them.

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.

HE month hssbrought us other evidences of God‘s blessing Upon our work, as a perusal of our pages will show. There has been much to rejoice over-believers

quickened, souls born again, crooked Places straightened. These are the “joyful” evidences of Cod‘s presence with US. There are others not so pleasurable, but are equally confirming that the work is the Lord’s.

What someone has said regarding a person can be as truly applied to a Mis- sion: “As sure as God begins to use a man, the devil mill begin to abuse hm.” We have learnt to reckon on this. As a Mission, as well as individuals, we have placed ourselves a t W’s disposal, and have attempted a great work for him. and the attacks of Satan must often be our regular portion as he seeks to withstand the onward march of our conquering Lord into Aboriginaldom.

UT we can equally expect unceasing victory. We read, “They over- came him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word Of their testimony.” We are “more than

conquerors even now with the W a r sweat on our brow.” Our Cornmander-inGhief will not desert US. Let us OwrcOme Satan by standing in the Conflict On the ground of Galvary, even though it means death. Dear attacked ones, just now hold fast, do not let Satan drag YOU d o n “from the wdl** as the enemies of the Lord sought to do in Nehemid’s but press rigbt on, being not ignorant Of the enemy’s devices, and with wdect confidence fn our Leader, “march in firm array;’ knowing that our redemption

draweth nigh.

4 O U R A I M . March 23, 1933.

Miss Bagnall is away on holidays with her sister a t Haberfield. It is a long time since our sister last “holidayed” and we trust she will be greatly refreshed.

Miss Acland has made good progress toward recovery and the doctor hopes at her next monthly visit to say the trouble is cured. Our sister testifies to God’s supply of her financial needs during this time of enforced absence from the field. For the first time she found her purse empty just recently, and the next day a young lady called a t A.I.M. OWce with E2 for her from some young ladies employed in a Sydney business oWce.

Miss Rothwell arrived at Tabulam on. March 4 t h where she is to spend her probation with Miss Tomkins. She hae written in gratitude for having been sent to such congenial surroundings, where she will have a blessed opportunity of learning to grapple with the work.

Mr. Blunt has returned to Dennawan with new heart and purpose after his first holiday to his home a t South Wyn- num, Brisbane.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are rejoicing in the comfort of a suitable conveyance, having purchased a sulky, harness and a good horse from the money sent in in answer to Prayer. A request for prayer for a conveyance was mentioned in the June prayer letter last year. The first S l O was given by a prayer member, and other amounts followed until sumcient accrued to make the purchase.

Miss Presnell is spending the conclud- ing weeks of her furlough in Hobart, and we are glad to hear from our Secretary that she is looking well and happy. She is having opportunities to speak of the work and is glad to meet those who recognise that the work she is engaged in amongst the Aborigines is the Lord’s work-blessed by Him and contested by the evIl one.

Miss E. Parker, who has had to draw aside from the work of a mission station and hoped to helo Mrs. Hughson with the Sydney work. flnds on medical advice that she must cease from all work and rest mmpletely, her nerves being in a bad state. W e aek prayer for our sister that she may be sustained and restored. Miss Barker has given a good many years of unstinted enthusiastic service In endeavour to win our Aborigines to Christ.

The Memorial Van 1s at Mmnah cnllah and -1 next visit Darlington Pt. and Grimthe, and probably Temora and Ariah

Park, and arrive (D.V.) at Goolagong for the Native Christian Convention at Easter.

Miss Long spent a few days in Cairns with Mr. and Mrs. Fergns Hunter, enjoy- ing fellowship with them and other Christians. The King of Ravenshoe passed away after her return, and a few days later, embracing an opportunity of a trip by car (instead of walking as she intended), she visited the next camp at Millaa Millaa, accompanied by a native girl, Eva.

The Townville Baptist Church are taking special interest in Palm Island while the missionary is away. The S.G.M.U. have decided that one member write to Lena Kyle, Native Helper, every month. The Endeavourers sent over some sta- tionery which was very acceptable and the Junior Endeavourers are saving their pennies for a trip to the Island.

Miss Ginger and Miss Smith are pro- ceeding to Brewarrina township at an early date, hoping to take up residence there for a time. Brewarrina seems the natural centre of our North Western field. Some miles out from the town there is a Govt. Station, where we have Native Workers. Dennawan is much further out in the opposite direction.

MR. AND MRS. HODMON With a sense of what was at first dis-

appointment to UB all, but now an instance of God’s orderfng, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson have had to come away from Barambah. In the short time they had been there, before Mr. Hodgson’s break- down, they proved eminently fitted for this station with its great need of pLs- toral work. But God’s ways are not as our ways, and Mr. Hodgson’s health ha8 failed, an old malady returning which has necessitated complete rest.

At Mr. and Mrs. Brainwood’s kind invitation, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson are spending two or three weeks in their home in Bundaberg to learn the treatment which was so effectual in Mrs. Brainwood’s case, given her by our friend Mr. Oak- man. They will then proceed as soon as possible to Karuah, one of our smaller N.S.W. stations, where Mr. Hodgson Fan have compamtive rest while our Native Helpers and Mrs. Hodgson proceed with the work. These are our plans just now, and we look to the Lord to enable us to carry them out insofar as they are in accordance with His will. In such cases, a8 well as in an else, we own His Leader- ship, for the work and workers are His.

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.''

Psalm 23. 1.

w m

A.I.M. OfBce. MY Dear Girls and Boys,-The Psalms

or Songs of Praise of King David are still widely used by those who desire to worship God. What a help and comfort they have been to many, particularly the twenty-third psalm, from which our message for this month is taken. It is sweet and very simple, isn't it?

David put all his trust in his God; he was quite sure that the Lord would care for him in every detail. David knew from his own early experience as a shep herd boy just what trouble was taken over each sheep of the flock by the true Shepherd. He felt, as he looked back over the years, many of which had shown him hard times, that God had guided and shielded him.

David's life had been packed with thrills. though not all of them had been pleasant. While just a young lad, looking after his father's sheep, he had been sent to see his big brothers, who were in the King's army. You all know the story of his wonderful flght with Goliath, when he so bravely faced the giant and killed him with a stone from his sling.

We may be sure that this was one of David's happy memories when he was old and grey. He was sure that the Lord had been with him that day, and used him.

Then, as the years went by, King Saul became jealous because David had been anointed to be the next Wng. God guarded David's lite and gave him the king's own son, Jonathan. for his best pal. Later Saul and Jonathan were both hllled in battle and David grieved deeply for his friend.

After many experience6 an king of God's people, Israel, and many heart- aches over the doings of hls own chfld- ren, David aonld still lavtngly say: "Tb

Very many Christians have felt so since. Girls and boys can be sure of God's guidance and protection, too, for the lambs of the flock are always the shepherd's chief care. Let us put our whole trust in Him, in our early years, as Davfd did.

With love from GUNYEE.

A TRUE STORY.

Each missionary of the A.I.M. goes into the work depending upon God as the Shepherd who will lead to water and pasture even in the driest times. Many stories could be told of His faithfulness, for when "He putteth forth His own sheep He goeth before them."

A missionary was one day walking along the street of a country town te wards the store. Her purse was empty, though only God and herself knew of it. A dear old Christian dark man stopped to speak and when moving on again put a two shilling piece into her hand, say- ing: "Please take this. I want you to have it, 'cos I'm sure the Lord told me to give it to YOU." The missionary smiled and thanked him, continuing on her way with a glad heart.

The Good Shepherd had led her once again into unexpected green pastures in the midst of the desert, using an old and lame full blood Aborigine as His helper.

-:5 The Part is under Jesus' blood, The Present He fa tending, The Futam I can leave with Him

Imrd is my Shepherd, I &all not wmL" Whom love is never-ending.


6 O U R A I M . March 23, 1933. - AUXILIARY NOTES ,- MELBOURNE

The President, Rev. Jas. McBride, WCU- P M the chair at our February meeting. ’ h 0 new members were welcomed, one being a namesake of our President in the person of Mrs. McBride, who was a member of the Burnlev prayer circle until that meeting had to cease owing to the illness of those who had provided that “open door.” We were very pleased, too. to welcome Pastor Holt to the meeting. It was a great joy to the members to have Miss Ginger and Mr. and Mrs. Higgs, A.I.M. missionaries, with us. Miss Ginger’s message was one that should stimulate us to do our very best in service for the Aborigines. Mr. Higgs gave a very fine address on the work being done at Moonah Cullah. We praise God for a full week of meetings, afternoon and evening, Miss Ginger, Mr. Higgs and Mrs. Ellis being the speakers.

At our March meeting we were very pleased to have Mr. Young, a member of the Geelong Auxiliary, with us, and to hear his message as he addressed the meeting at the invitation of the Chair- man.

Mr. Higgs, our missionary, who is on furlough on account of illness, was present, and gave a short address.

To friends who are interested in the Aborigines, we again extend a cordial invitation to meet with us on the 1st Tuesday monthly, a t 2.30 p.m., a t the Friends’ Meeting House, RUSBell Street.

For information regarding the work write or ’phone the Secretary.

-M. ELLIS, Hon. Sec.

BRISBANE Our February meeting was held in the

oface of the Joyful News Mission. 8s the hall y a s in use for a special evangelistic meeting. Mr. c. Henley occupied the chair in the absence ot the President.

After the reading of the Prayer letter and giving of news from the field by members present, we went to Prayer. m i s e was offered for Mr. W o ~ ~ n t ’ s successin1 tour of the district south of Mitchell.

Mention WEE made of Miss WrOn’S departure for spaney, en route to her

new station, and of Mr. Blunt’s return, after furlough, to Dennawax, via War- wick and Talwood, in Southern Queens- land.

One of our members, Mr. Frank Clis- sold, announced his intention to leave (D.V.) for Sydney to be interviewed at the March meeting of the Advisory Council as a candidate for the field. We assured him of our prayerful interest as he goes forward. -F. M. BEASLEY.

HOBART Being our quarterly Council Meeting

and all present being interested in the British Syrian Mission, our President announced a hymn, after the singing of which time was spent in prayer for Syria. Then after reading the Scripture, Luke, 9, 67-62, and giving some helpful comments .upon it, the President, as usual, brought all the requests for prayer on the prayer sheet before us, and a time of waiting upon God fOllQWed for these requests in particular, and any other that was laid upon our hearts, and it was well over our allotted time when the meeting closed.

-H. M. WEYMOUTH, Hon. Sec.

NEWCASTLE That the Auxiliary at Newcastle con-

tinues its work is evidenced in many practical ways. Their undertaking to print Mission postcards is costing them S2. We would be glad if our other Auxiliaries would help them in the sale of them, and also in prayer. Supplies will be forwarded on application to the Secretary, Mrs. W. Brown, 14 Roslyn Avenue, Islington.

Through this Auxiliary three candidates’ applications have been before our Council this month, each having been “called of God” at meetings where our Auxiliary members have spoken.

At Christmas time the Secretary was driven down to Karuah (by Mr. Keith Stevenson, who has gone to Arabia as a missionary) with gifts for 141 of our people. In gathering the gifts she was helped by the Mapaeld Girls’ Missionary Society, the Boss’ Club, and the Women’s Fellowship. New Lambton Primary Dept. and the Maitland Baptist Church sent a parcel of clothing.

While a t Karuah Mrs. Dates (Native Helper) gave Mrs. Brown 9/- from the Sunday School for Christmas cheer for another station.

We also note that the Auxiliary is con- templating holding its Annual Meeting on April 27th. Newcastle friends please look for local advertlsementa.

REPORTS FROM OUR STATIONS.

NORlKANTON It must be time we inserted another

report in our paper for our friends’ information as to doings a t Normanton. We would begin this one by a word of thanks to all who have prayed, and to those who have given for our sulky and horse which is now one of our possessions. We have waited a long time, but a t last the Lord has made it possibIe for us to purchase a very good turnout. It may help us to keep in touch with some of the people who work most of the year on nearby stations. For instance, the Inverleigh camp have all practically moved out to the Magoura Station, a distance of perhaps 20 mlies, because out there they can catch plenty of native food, whereas in town many were hungry. The other two camps are here still to occupy our time, but we would like to be able to reach others.

The work here is going steadily on, and while we long and pray for much more blessing, we are most thankful to our God for all that He is doing for us. The people still hear the Gospel regularly, and after sowing the seed as often as we can, we wait for the harvest which the Lord will give.

At present we are in our wet season, when it is hardly wise to go out. Up to now we have been able to hold our meetings fairly regularly, and we would ask prayer that we might be able to do this until the end of the rains comes.

-1. & E. THOMAS.

BAmmmAE DurIng the menth we have enjoyed the

feliowap and help of our friend, M i u V a n Mown, who came by ’plane from Sydney and went two Sundays and two full w e e b nith tll). Her stem were truly

ordered of the Lord, for she came just when Mr. Hodgson had been ordered a fortnight’s complete rest, and helped us greatly in the work, taking sometimes two Scripture classes a day and giving help in other ways which was greatly appreciated by the dark people and ourselves. Her messages to the Christians were helpful. This being Miss Morgan’s third visit, $he is quite claimed as a missionary and friend by our people. W e discovered this as we glanced through the school children’s composition books, where a very good account waa given of her coming. One night before she left us a farewell corroboree was given. I t was very weird but wonderful.

Two of our dear Christian women are nearing the gates of the Eternal City. One of them is our Native Helper, Mrs. Mary Duncan. She has served the Lord fer many years and is now looking forward eagerly for a sight of Him “Who loved us and washed us from our sins.” We feel it a benediction to be in her presence, she is aglow with love to Him and so keen to win sods.

The other woman, our dear old Liczie Johnson, whose conversion was as wonderful, is also wonderfully ready for His presence. These cases make Heaven a very real place.

Mr. Hodgson’s health is giving us much concern just now. The doctor has ordered complete rest from study, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson are so suitable for the work on Barambah that we covet the prayer of the Lord‘s people for guidance and complete restoration. They may have to be sent to a smaller station.

The work continues to be encouraging on Barambah, many of the Christians are keen to go on with the Lord. The enemy opposes, but victory is of the Lord. -M. CAMPBELL.


a O U R A I M . March 23, 1933.

WOORABINDA Work on the church building has been

recommenced. The Lord answered prayer by opening the way for His ser- vant, Mr. J. Oakman, to come to our assistance. Under his skilled guidance and workmanship the building is going ahead quickly. God willing, it will be completed within a few weeks.

The Government Superintendent kindly arranged for Mr. Oakman to camp handy to the work, and also set some of the Christian men free to help on the building. All are working well and conscien- tiously. with the joy of the Lord in their hearts.

We are looking forward to much spiritual blessing during our brother’s stay. We would specialy ask you to join us in prayer for the Sunday night services which are being conducted. They are always well attended, and much interest is being shown in the Gospel Message. We long to see men and women deeply convicted and yielding to our Lord Jesw Christ,

While‘ the majority of the Christians are growing in “grace and knowledge,” always eager to press on, there are those who are hindered. The devil has been busy, especially in stirring up a quarrel- some spirit among some.

Prayer is asked for candidates prepar- ing for baptism, that they may be kept from all the fiery darts of the enemy. also that a way may be opened for them to be baptised.

We do praise (30d for His loving care, for health and strength granted, the mild Summer and the continual supply of our temporal needs, as well as the great joy we have in His service.

-M. SHAN‘KELTON.

others, and so they gather 88 usual for their night meetings and slng their well- loved choruses and hymns, hear God‘s Word and pray.

We thank God for two l a m p sent from Sydney for our church, and also a beautiful large type edition of the four Gospels, given by our Geelong friends. Last Sunday we received our flrst gift from our people for kerosene for our church lights. It was only 2d., a penny each from two of our bright young girls, but it did gladden our hearts. After school a couple of days ago Miss Tyler was having prayers with the children, and one little girl, aged seven, said: “Dear Lord Jesus, plea% bless me and give me a penny to give to you on Sunday.” Surely c;od will answer that prayer!

Our dear old King is sinking fast and past human aid, a result of “bone pointing” by one of the tribe who is very wild and lives in the scrub. We miss his bright face from our meetings, but praise the Lord we believe we will meet him in the glory.

It was our privilege a couple of weeks ago to spend an enjoyable day with the Rev. Potter, from Cairns, who took us in his car to see the wonderful Tully Falls, which are the highest in Australia and the fourth highest in the world. It W88 indeed a day on the mountain top, and the fellowship with God’s servants W a s very sweet and a great upllft to US.

COWEA The Lord has blessed us during the

past month, another soul being won for Christ a t the evening service on Sunday last.

One of our workers, Mr. Alec Williams, left us to drive Mrs. Ashmore and her daughter, Mamie, back to her people at Carowra Tank. He called a t Condobolin and had a good time with our people there. The Lord greatly blessed his testimony. Mrs. Ashmore only got as far as Goolagong, and expects to stay there for a time, the weather being too hot and the homes unable to travel. Mr. Lindsay Grant expects to leave for

Brewarrina next week to carry the Gos- pel to our people there. Please pray for him. Two of our women are going forward to give the Gospel to those in other partS.

We are looking forward to a time of rich blessing at our coming Convention, to be held at Goolagong during Easter. Please pray that God‘s purpose for i t may be gloriously fulfilled.

-E. LIGHTBODY.

MOONAH C U M During the past few weeks there has

been much sickness among our people. Just as we were getting ready to go to Barham for our Convention, Mr. McCoy, one of our oldest men, took ill and we had to take him to the hospital. We knew he was very ill, 88 was also a baby girl, so it was with heavy hearts that we set our for Barham, a day and a half later than we had intended.

The trip across was a very bad one. taking much longer than we expected. When we arrived we were met by one ot our women with a telephone message that had come through for us, easing that Mr. McCoy had died, and asking i! we could go back for the funeral. Next morning we rang UP Mdo~noh Cnlleh to tell them we mQldn’t retnrn. W e then rang up friends fn Kerang, Beking them to watch for Mr. Long and keep him there till nfUt day PI We had ready and no m e had 8rrirsd trom other p m on account of sickness. unsettled

weather, bad roads and lack of convey- ances. (About 30 came later).

Our Convention began on Saturday night, when Mr. Long showed lantern views of the work. The attendance at all the ‘meetings was smalI compared with last year, but we know that as the messages were given out the Lord spoke to the hearts of those present. Much prayer had been oflered for our Convention. and we know that God answers prayer, and we leave the results in His hands.

m i l e we were at the Convention the little sick baby died, U) our people had two funerals while we were away, though we were absent only a week. At present there are two women in the hospital very ill, and several others who are far from well. Please pray that this sickness and bereavement may be the means of draw- ing the Christians nearer to the Lord, and of leading many others to mee their need ot a Savfoqr. -A. SUTTON.

TINGHA “They looked unto Him and were light-

ened, and their faces were not ashamed.” -Psalm 34. 6.

The joy of the Lord is the light of many dark faces, and it is our joy, too. Christians and church members are as keen as ever 011 their study class, and now the Lord has put the desire in the hearts of several to go out with the Gospel Message to camps round about.

Our Native Helper a t Bundarra has offered to go to Woolbrook and Walcha until a missionary can be sent there, and a big congregation met on Monday night to commend her to the Lord and promise to pray her through. Two or three others have promised to

go to Bundarra once a month to carry on her ministry there.

Two of the men are off with Mr. Hamis this weekend for Aehford, 50 miles away, where, after a visit from some of our Christians, a desire was expressed for someone to come to them.

MOREE The interest in Mr. Ben Smith’s mes-

sages continues. Mm. Bert Draper, well known to some

of US, and who with her family has left Moree, is pleased that building that had been her home should be used as a meeting house. The seating accommodation was provided by Mrs. Herbert, Glennie Cntmore, Mrs. Steve and Harold Duke.

I have received a letter from an A.I.M. missionary in which the writer says: “I am sure your heart would be filled with joy and thanksgiving to God.“

The inexperienced cannot be expected to understand the difeculties some of us missionaries experience when a girl or man, after making a profession of taking t h e Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, ask the question: “May I go to the pictures, may I go to the dapce.” One could almost imagine, simple though the question may appear, and although we must say that as far as our salvation from the eternal consequences of sin is concerned, it must be only through the atonement and the cleansing Blood of Jesus Christ that their destiny for eter- nity depended an their decision.

Zast week I only found one of our people in the hospital, Mr. Bobby Smith. On going over to the evening service

at the camp yesterday, I heard that HocgS Dillon, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Dillon, had run a pair of scissors into his eye, and that there was danger that his eye would have to be taken out. I will ask the prayers of God’s people in these matters. I also have to record the death of Clifford Stan- ley, iniant son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley.

“One of our women, Mrs. Williams, has done all she can to make the meetings possible, such as providing lights, and letting us hold our meetings in her home.

“A large number of children come along to Sunday School, and young men and women too, and it takes a lot of text cards to go around.

“The Lord has been caring for us, too. One night when we came home we found a big fish on the table, and every day we have a little parcel sent to us by someone.

MORE NEW WORKERS Mr. and Mrs. McNaughton, of Lake

Boga, have accepted the position of Associate Workers and will do all they can to minister to our scattered people a t Mystic Park and other small places on the Victorian border. We welcome our brother and sister in the Name of the Lord.

Mr. Gordon Aulton, of Cummeragunja, was set apart as a Native Helper by Mr. W. A. Long on 13th inst. Our brother has for a year or more been witnessing and working for the Lord amongst his people. We commend him to the prayers of our readers.

Three new Girls’ A.I.M. Auxiliaries have been organised since the beginning of the year. One is at the home of Mrs. Rowe, 19 Arundel Street, Forest Lodge, N.S.W., meeting weekly: another at the home of Mrs. Newton, 31 Francis Street, Manly, N.S.W.; and the third in Victoria at the Baptist Church, Lloyd Street, Darling, which is being fostered by Mrs. Ellis. We are delighted to welcome to our army of workers these bands of young girls who desire to have a share in our work. The Lord bless and multi- ply them.

SUESCRIPTIQN DUB.

THE MEMORIAL VAN After the Convention at Barham I had

intended to go straight down to Cum- meragunja (about 57 miles East), but instead, with the Lord’s gracious guidance (as it afterwards proved to be), went on a round trip on the Western side, through the various out-stations of Miss Sutton’s district.

Moularnein.

The first place arrived at was Moula- mein, where there is a camp on the southern side of the river, and I had a happy, though brief, stay there. The Methodist Minister, Mr. Blakemore, goes across each Wednesday night and holds a meeting. besides helping in every way possible. Others also assist him in the work, f o r which we can praise God indeed, for nobody can really understand the feeilng of loss in the hearts of our dark people, who pass the years of their lives in such places, uncared for by those who are in possession of the blessed Gospel message, and being debtors to all men to give out what they have received out of God‘s boundless grace, yet keep the priceless treasure to themselves. At Moulamein they greatly appreciated these services. Mr. and Mrs. Briggs, a fine old couple, gather the people in their home, which is very nicely prepared, for the meetings. M y stay there was a brief but profitable one, and when leaving they crowded round and gave me several flue curios as presents.

Sheep Without a Shepherd. The next stop was Eialranald. There

are about 70 people in the two camps there, and though Balranald is a rather large town there is no Christian to care for their spiritual welfare, so a s the years go by the only help they get is from Miss Sutton’s visits. As this is the most western outpost of the district, and as the labourers are so few, these visits have necessarily been few and far be- tween. Every meeting of mine was crowded, and at some of them there were some white people in attendance.

One morning a woman came to the Vab, and told how she had been a Chris- tian for many years, but had wandered away from her Lord. Under the preach- ing of the Word God had spoken to her, and that m m f n g she toox down her


O U R A I M . March 23, 1933. 12

BlbIe and opentng it her eye lighted on the text: ‘Slm that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out.” By the power of that great invitation she came amid many tears back to the foot of the Cross, to find an abundant pardon.

“Nearer, Still Nearer.”

One night a quartette sang beautifully the hymn “Nearer, Still Nearer.” One was converted at the Barham Conven- tion, two made the great surrender a t Balranald, that night, and the fourth was the woman previously referred to. The next morning one of them (Mr. Bric Briggs, of Moulamein) said: “I was think- ing that as we sang ‘Nearer, Still Nearer’ it was still nearer for us, wasn’t it?“

As I was about to leave, the people crowded around, and three, who had been for some years a t Moonah Cnllah, stepped forward and sang “Cod Will Take Care of You.’’

At Mystic Park.

Moving on from Balranald I went through Swan Hill, Lake Bags and Tresco to Mystic Park, staying a night 011 the way with Mr. and Mrs. McNaugh- ton, of Lake Boga. They are to be our Associate Workers now in this district, being within reach of several out-stations. I had a very happy little stay with them, and as I left for Mystic Park I was loaded with gifts of fruit and nuts of their own growing.

The next stop was at the home of a fine old couple of dark Christians, Mr. and Mrs. Pepper. I had previously been there and greatly enjoyed the fellowship with them. To their home various dark people of the surrounding district came and eagerly drank in the Word of God.

Mr. Herman Pepper, Son Of the old couple, having lived his life (43 yeare) far away from God, surrendered to the Lord in the closing moments of the time there, and we hear that he is still press- ing on. At one of the meetings some Christian friends (Mr. and Mrs. Angus and their eldest son). with whom I had previously spent a few very happy days when delayed by wet weather, came and joined us.

Barham Again.

From there I retwned to Barham. where a laatern lecture had been b d l y

arranged in the town, and at which the Koandrook Baptist Mhister took the chair. I was only able to spend one more night with our people there before tra- velling on to Cummeragunja. The Bar- ham people once more did all in their power to help, and make the short stay a good one.

Throughout this journey I had more experiences of the unerring guidssce and unfailing providence of our God. For instance, when I arrived back a t Barham I was at the end of my resources, both in petrol and money, but found more of the latter awaiting me at the Post OfEce, and once more set up the Ebenezer banner, “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.”

-W. A. LONG.

Yield our lives to Him to make us As He wills, then naught can take us

KATOOMBA Miss Ginger spent nearly 4 weeks of

this month at Katoomba. She found our Associate Worker, Mrs. Wheeler, with a larger place than ever in the hearts and lives of the people, beloved by all.

Sunday School and Sunday evening services are well attended. A Christian Worker from Leura, Mr. Baker, has been helping in the serrfoes.

COMBINED ABORIGINES’ MISSIONS’ MEETING

AT UPWEY Two Years ago, at Upwey, during the

Convention, our Director called a meeting of workers among the Aborigines for Prayer and fellowship. The following Year it was held again, with an attendance of many interested friends, and this time i t was still larger, nearly 200 being present. These meetings have all been in Mr. Henry Scott’s ground;. Mr. W. L. Wright waa chairman, and Mr. Schenk, of the U.A.M., and MT. Amold Long, of the A.I.M., were the speakers.

At the close all workers among the Aborigines were asked to come forward; there were nine or ten and each gave a few words. The hymn8 used were those published by the Newcastle Auxiliary of the A.I.M. The atmosphere of the meeting was splendid, and we believe that the Lord was magnified and interest in the work quickened and deepened.

FAREWELL MEETING AT LIDCOMBE

The Lidcombe Church of Chirst kindly agrmeed to us holding a farewell meeting in their midst on Monday, February 27th. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. Crossman, from whose church at Hurst- ville Mr. Buckley went forth lOi year8 ago, Mr. Spratt, or Auburn, occupied the chair.

The speakers were Mr. R. M. Bowie, missionary from Palm Island, Mrs. Long. and our young sister, Mfss Rothweli, in whose honour we had gathered. Her testimony was bright and clear of UOd‘s leading, and of her faith in Him for the future. Many of her intimate friends

were present to bid her Godspeed, and the prayers of those present will follow her in her work.

LANTERN MEETINGS On February 25th a lantern lecture

entitled “Miracles of Grace Amongst the Australian Aborigines” was given in the Ashfleld Baptist Tabernacle by Mrs. Long, Mr. Perry, our Treasurer, assisting as lanternist. Over 100 slides depicted transformations from darkness to Light and from sin’s thraldom to the paths of righteousness and liberty as children of God in Christ Jesus.

The West Bexley Methodist Intermedi- ate C.E. made their anniversary on 11th March a rally, with a lantern talk on the work of the A.I.M. as its chief feature. Mr. Perry again acted 88 lanternist, and Mrs. Long told remarkable stories of the conversion of our A b rigines which have taken place in a continuous stream all down the years of the Mission’s history. The pictures of these men and women showed the transforming power of Qod’s grace and stirred many h a r t s .

Mrs. Long was asked to take the evening service the following night.

Miss Lilian Marshal1 organised the rally, and, with her mother, showed the visitors kind hospitality.
