Queensland Office Fire and Underwood News

By a disastrous fire in the building at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, where the Queensland Conference and Tract Society offices were located, the entire office contents were destroyed on Thursday evening, March 7. The safe preserved the account-books and valuable documents of the conference and tract society, together with the cash on hand. Otherwise, nothing was saved. The loss is only partially covered by an insurance of about eight hundred fifty dollars.
Since retiring from the presidency of the Northern Union Conference, Elder R. A. Underwood has returned to his old home in Mesopotamia, Ohio, which will be his address for the present. Brother Underwood purposes to visit some of our camp-meetings the coming summer, in the interests of the general work.
