Mission Work and Sunday Legislation

THERE IS progress over in Australasia. Elder J. E. Fulton writes:—

“We are starting work among the aborigines in Queensland. I had an interview with the chief protector of the aborigines while I was in Queensland at the recent camp-meeting, and received a good deal of encouragement. The way is open for us, and Brother P. B. Rudge and wife are taking up work at the Barambah settlement. Some work has already been done by Sister Cozens, our church-school teacher at Murgon, and very encouraging results have followed. This work has long been neglected by us, and I am glad to tell you that the union conference has now taken on this line of missionary effort.”

In replying to a memorial protesting against Sunday legislation, a prominent Congressman writes as follows: “I am thoroughly in sympathy with you in your views on the subject that the government should not take a hand in religious matters, and that each man should follow the dictates of his own conscience.” Let the protests against the Sunday bills now pending in Congress, continue to come in.
