News from Australia.

By Editor

JUST as our pages were going to press, we received a large batch of copy and letters from Australia, by the steamer, which arrived July 12. Knowing the anxiety of the people to hear anything fresh from this mission field, we have laid over some matter, to insert the article on New Zealand, beginning on the fourteenth page (430). Other articles descriptive of different portions of the field, and something new on the "day line" question, from Elder Haskell, will follow, so that, although mail comes but once a month, we can promise our readers something from Australia every week. The friends there are all in good health and spirits. Elder Haskell writes most encouragingly of the prospect for labor. He says: "The Lord was in our coming to this place. We are of good courage." Elders Corliss and Israel have each rented a house in Richmond, near Melbourne. All mail should be addressed to Sumarilde, Highett St., Richmond, Victoria.
