correspondence AUSTRALIA extracts of 0 a letter from elder A P dowdle dowdie dated sydney november EDITOR OF or DESERET newe NEWS dear sir rt hought perhaps a aivord from alst list australia ralia ralla would be interesting to you tho the before this you yon 5 ori orl will w ill lii have heard from this mission by president F farnham arn liam llam since br farnham left I 1 have visited melbourn and country where I 1 remained eight weeks and found lany many mans persons anxious to learn the way of salvation baptized four and left others inquiry inquiring i ing after the truth I 1 I 1 returned to sydney on october ad where I 1 have since remained at our iasi last quarte quarterly aly conference heli held in this blace place place on the abe hirst first sunday in october we had a joyful time and since the departure of president farnham oui our efforts in spreading the truth have been attended with prosperity several derson person have been baptized and ad the saints are rejoicing in the work the prospects in sydney and throughout the australian colonies are good tho thol many of the hireling priests have beon been and are still trying to put mormonism tor for monism down but in spite of all their ther cunning we occasionally catch some cf th their air flocks on the 26 of october Oc lober tober elder kelting and wife elders chaffin and potter arrived in this port all in good health in 66 days from san francisco itee the remaining twelve of 4 the miss mission have not yet be beep 1 ep heard from I 1 have lately received d advices advises from the elders on the various missions in this colon colony they all speak of prosperity the tile work is is progressing and the lord is is blessing their labors daily I 1 have received two calls recently from persons person s tot at a distance in the country to send elders to preach to them I 1 sent some tracts three hundred miles in the country which have had a good effect and the c sequence consequence on is is that th they ey want the elders to preach to them that they may kno know w more of the gospel and arid the plan of salvation taking into consideration all th circumstances the e I 1 if feel pel safe in saying that the prospects are good and favorable for tonch touch good yet to be done in this country the people of sydney think m more ore about mor monism as they call it than they have for some time previous ions oar meetings of late are well attended and the elders have great liberty of 8 speech and are lucli blessed in preaching 0 to the people ople opie we occasionally have e some opposition but that gives fresh vigor and streng strength Eh to all the more opposition the closer the saints stand up to the work the clergy thunder their anath emas against the people if they go to listen to el 1 which they call all that preach the gospel and contend for the truth as it has been revealed I 1 suppose their master has hs told them that their craft was in danger and they ha had I 1 iest best begin in time before e their kingdom was rent from them it seems to me when I 1 think and look back that I 1 have been from home almost a lifetime but I 1 still stil I 1 feel determined to go ahead and wait the providence or OF my father in heaven relative to myself in all things I 1 am engaged in his work and as long iong as he inspires my heart with the s and determination as I 1 haye have at the present 7 I 1 am determined to push on and ind bring myself under tinder subjection to the law that he has revealed for my salvation and if I 1 can do good by stopping here I 1 am willing to do it without a murmur I 1 am resigned to the tho will of god and the order of the priesthood over me eprom efrom prom from plough loom and anvil exercise exer Eser eise cise work health A WORD TO T GIRLS
