A South Australian Romance, Vol. 23: How a Colony Was Founded and a Methodist Church Formed (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A South Australian Romance, Vol. 23: How a Colony Was Founded and a Methodist Church Formed

"Fellow-Colonists! if this is a proud day to us, as most assuredly it ought to be, how much more should our Brethren, in the dear Old Mother Country, exult in the pride of our situation! How should they rejoice at being witnesses of what no other nation in the world besides England has been permitted to see! What other nation has seen her children so extensively spread over the most distant parts of the earth, founding communities, governing themselves, speaking the same language, improving on the models of her institutions, reverencing the land of their forefathers, and sympathising with that race of which we ourselves are a continuing branch? - Sir Henry Ayers, "Address at Jubilee of South Australia, 1886."
