Greeting From Australia
By George A. Irwin
Australia accepts with pleasure the invitation to bear her testimony in the world's social meeting, and we are glad to say we have no discouraging report to bring. Our work is onward all along the line. Our laborers are contented and happy in their work of pushing the triumphs of the cross in new fields. A spirit of union and harmony prevails, not only among the workers in the field, but between our institutions. That spirit of loyalty to the fundamental principles of the third angel's message, and the system of order and organization that has held us together in the past, and made us what we are as a denomination, is particularly noticeable and gratifying. Our institutions are all working in perfect accord, each in its sphere doing its utmost to advance the work in even lines. Our people respond freely to the extent of their ability to the appeal for means to advance the work, and best of all, a spirit of work is taking possession of the laity more and more as the signs multiply around us. We would say to our brethren in other lands, Be of good courage, nail the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus to your mast, and stand by until the end. Depart not from them to the right hand or to the left; for by so doing thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou have good success.
