Elder Daniells' Visits to Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia
We have received from Elder A. G. Daniells four articles regarding his visits to Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia. These we shall be pleased to place before our readers in future numbers. The articles were mailed from Colombo, Ceylon. As the vessel was nearing that port, Elder Daniells wrote as follows, under date of November 11: “We left Freemantle, Australia, one week ago yesterday. This is Wednesday evening, and in a few hours we shall be in the harbor of Colombo if all goes well. We have had one of the best journeys across the water we ever made. We have had no indication of seasickness, and have scarcely been conscious that we were on the water. The time has been very short, for we have had to work hard all the way. I wanted to lie about the deck and read, but I dared not. The unwritten reports which I knew ought to be posted at Colombo haunted me so that I resolutely set about preparing them, and now I feel relieved because they are ready to be posted. Four of them will go to you for the REVIEW AND HERALD. One goes to Brother Tait for the Signs. Besides writing these reports, we have got off important letters to our friends in both Australia and America. We thank the Lord for giving us such favorable conditions under which to work. Mrs. Daniells does my writing now, as Sister Shull left us in Australia for China. As we near Ceylon, we are beginning to feel interested in landing. We do not know whether Professor Salisbury or Brother James will meet us, or whether any one will be there. We shall be glad to learn what has happened in Europe during these nine days that we have been cut off from all news.” Under date of November 12, Brother Daniells added the following postscript, after landing in Colombo and finding Brother Salisbury awaiting him: “We landed safely, and leave for India to-night. Our general meeting is to be held December 18-28.”
