Australasian Union Conference Council

THE Australasian Union Conference Record for October 4 brings a report of a union conference council held in September. The recommendations of the council were numerous, dealing with all departments of their work. The report on distribution of labor contains forty-one items. One recommendation adopted is a message to our people in America: “Recognizing the great calls for laborers which were made upon the General Conference, we hereby express our gratitude to our brethren in America for their consideration of our needs in inviting Brother Machlan and family, Brother and Sister Burke, Brother Cole and family, and Brother Spear and family, to make Australia their field of labor; and we desire to express to these brethren and sisters our hearty appreciation of the practical interest they have shown in the work of the Lord in this field by responding to the call of the General Conference; and on behalf of the Australasian brethren we extend to them a cordial welcome to these shores.”

Very likely the record for the highest single gift in the Harvest Ingathering for missions will go to East Michigan. In response to an appeal accompanying a special Review sent out in that conference, a check for a thousand dollars was forwarded to our General Conference treasury.
