Reports from Australasia and the South

ANOTHER token of the fact that this cause is one in all the world comes from Australasia. During the recent meeting of the Australasian Union Conference, our brethren there received the news of the special effort being made by our brethren in America to raise an emergency fund from which to give aid as necessary to the European Division missions and to sufferers in the zone of conflict. Our Australasian brethren thereupon voted to send $5,000 to the General Conference for this fund.

OUR brethren from the Southland bring encouraging reports of the progress of the work south of the Mason and Dixon line. Notwithstanding the depression in consequence of the failure in the cotton market, our brethren and sisters are standing by the work nobly, and are doing all in their power to sustain it in its various activities. In one or two of our Southern conferences the conference workers are spending part of their time selling our publications, thus trying to relieve the embarrassed financial condition of their conference. We earnestly hope that the active market which cotton now seems to be finding in the European field will greatly help conditions in the South.
