The Australian Mission.
By Editor
THE following extracts from a letter written May 12, by Brother Henry Scott, will be cheering to all who are interested in the progress of the work in Australia:— "The missionary society now numbers thirty-three members, all active and energetic. Our Sabbath-school has an enrollment of 103, with an average attendance of eighty-five. There are on the church roll about ninety-five names. We have outgrown the hall formerly occupied on Russell Street, and have moved into Assembly Hall, on Collins Street. This is the church formerly occupied by the Presbyterians, and will accommodate about five hundred persons. It makes a very nice meeting place, and we have it secured for one year. District prayer-meetings are held in the suburbs where persons have embraced the truth, and in some districts the brethren come together twice or three times each week, and have Bible-readings. "The work in the office is growing, and we expect to enlarge it soon by taking in two practical printers, who have embraced the truth of the third angel, and are anxious to use their talent in extending the same. "Several churches have the Sabbath question up in their improvement classes for discussion; two have invited some of our brethren to attend and participate in the exercises. Thus the way opens for the truth to spread."
