We could put one hundred Elders in the
City of Sydney, or Melbourne, and there would be a
great deal for them to do.

I would be pleased if such could be the
case, that that number could be sent to Sydney.

To show you how little a few Elders are
known by the masses, Since the last opening up
of the work at Sydney, ^they^ knew nothing about
Elders laboring in Sydney.

There was a very untruthful piece
published about our people and we deemed it
wise to answer it, and the people were surprised
to know that we had been here so long, and had
been doing the work that we reported in answer
to the piece, and it took the Editor, (from the
surprise of our being here) several weeks to get
over what he had done and get on his
wicked head again to give us another blowing
up.

We had the satisfaction of getting
our Articles of Faith published and a few
good words of advise regarding our cause
and felt we had done our part without
slander.

We have at the present 21 Elders in
the Mission and could work many more if we
had them. The Elders are all enjoying good
health and are doing what they can in allaying
prejudice, gaining friends, and the Lords is blessing
some with fruits for the labors performed.
