W. Shapley 4 Parkin Mission—125th anniversary celebrations and launch of book “Parkin’s Passion” by Brian L. Jones OAM 6 EDITORIAL The Psalm-writer emphasises the fact that our life-span is very short when compared with the eons of time in God’s keeping. While this is irrefutable, to be able to see the events in perspective is also very instructive. A paper prepared by the long-time Methodist Home Mission Director, Rev George Shapley MBE in the 1950s reminds us of united efforts by churches before Church Union in 1977. Remembering the life and work of Rev Ken Leaver, who died earlier this year at the age of 93, also reminds us of much that took place in the same era. Recalling the time when various sports were a major element in church youth work also reminds us how this was an important way to gain the attention of young men and women in the life of local congregations. As very little of this attraction remains today, it challenges us to rethink what we need to be doing in the present. Even the perspectives of a lifetime of three score years and ten (or more) is very important in counteracting the view that the only thing of importance is what happens only in the present.

  • South Australian Press Coverage of the Debate on the Climatic Influence of Forests: 1836-1956
    13 South Australian press coverage of the debate on the climatic influence of forests: 1836-1956. Stephen Legg Introduction he origins of the notion that forests could attract rain date back to classical antiquity (Glacken T1967), but in the mid-Nineteenth century the idea became elevated almost to an article of faith among many European scientists in the fields of agriculture, botany and forestry. They were imbued with a new-found appreciation developed during the late-Eighteenth and early-Nineteenth centuries that the Earth was old yet dynamic and that environments, including climate, could change – both naturally and through human agency. The debate on the climatic influence of forests quickly spread to the New World, first in North America and later throughout Australasia particularly with the advance of the agricultural frontier and its attendant assault on the forests. Initially the focus was on the consequences of large-scale removal of trees in heavily-timbered arable lands. Later, attention turned to the possibilities of ‘climate making’ through afforestation both to redress deforestation and to extend the supposed climatic benefit of trees to grasslands. The latter seemed especially important in drought-prone Australia. More than just another scientific controversy or a commentary on contemporary environmental destruction, the notion that trees directly influenced climate also became a familiar historiographical trope in literature as diverse as history, geography and travel- writing to help explain the rise and fall of some civilizations in now arid lands in the Old World. The fledgling sciences of climatology, forestry, and ecology provided further legitimacy in the 1860s to what has been termed an ‘awakening to forest conservation’ through which the various values of forests were considerably prioritised in public policy agendas.

Box 1104 Bairnsdale 3875 03 5152 5590 email: [email protected] Web sites: www.egfhg.org.au www.theirdutydone.com Meetings are held at 2.00 p.m. on the second Saturday in the month August 2015 Hello to all our members. The August edition of the bulletin is now here and its time for a few words from me. As you all know we held a Special General Meeting recently and changed our Rules of Association to allow us to be registered as a charity. All the paper work has been done, we are now a charity. We have already benefited by receiving software from Microsoft valued at over $2000 for about $150. However, we have now found that our plans to attract donations for various projects would be greatly helped by having Deductible Gift Recipient status and getting this requires yet another tweak to our Rules. Therefore we will be calling another Special General Meeting in September to alter these minor details. The committee apologizes for the inconvenience however all SGM’s will be held, where possible, on a normal meeting day. You will receive details of the dates times and specific alterations in the next few days. As an added bonus we have secured Don Love the well-known Marine Historian and author to speak to us on the day of the September meeting. That should be added incentive to come along and vote on our proposals. Don is a highly respected local historian and a very interesting speaker.

The timely, engaging writing lavishly justifies the Brisbane-based publication’s reputation as Australia’s best example of its genre.’ The West Australian ‘Griffith Review enjoys a much-deserved reputation as one of the best literary journals in Australia. Its contribution to conversations and informed debate on a wide range of topical issues has been outstanding.’ Hon Ian Walker MP, Minister for Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts, Queensland Government ‘This quarterly magazine is a reminder of the breadth and talent of Australian writers. Verdict: literary treat.’ Herald Sun ‘Griffith Review editor Julianne Schultz is the ultra-marathoner of Australian cultural life.’ Canberra Times ‘At a time when long form journalism is under threat and the voices in our public debate are often off-puttingly condescending, hectoring and discordant, Griffith Review is the elegant alternative.’ Booktopia Buzz ‘Griffith Review is Australia’s leading literary journal.’ Monocle ‘Surveying the textured literary landscape that constitutes a Griffith Review issue can lead to some surprising reappraisals of the way we read texts, culture and ideas.’ Melbourne Review ‘Griffith Review is a wonderful journal. It’s pretty much setting the agenda in Australia and fighting way above its weight… You’re mad if you don’t subscribe.’ Phillip Adams ‘Griffith Review is the vantage not of the outraged so much as the frustrated, a reliable forum for passionate criticisms aimed at the inadequacy of political discourse in contemporary Australia.’ Australian Book Review GriffithREVIEW48.indb 1 13/03/2015 3:58 pm SIR SAMUEL GRIFFITH was one of Australia’s great early achievers.

  • Summary of State Heritage Place
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Houghton Union Chapel PLACE NO.: 26493 ADDRESS: 21 Blackhill Road, Houghton SA 5131 CT 5462/764 AL2 FP3148 Hundred Yatala STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Houghton Union Chapel is one of the earliest church, school and community buildings in the State, and has significant associations with the early religious development of South Australia. The Houghton Chapel was built cooperatively by members of the Wesleyan Methodist, Congregational and Episcopalian Churches in 1845, and was shared by them as a place of worship until 1874. South Australia was founded on principles of non-discrimination against dissenting denominations. Demonstrating the religious freedom the first settlers to South Australia enjoyed, the Houghton Union Chapel has significant associations with the distinctive early religious development of the colony, and in particular with the religious cooperation that prompted the construction of several multi-denominational or ‘Union’ Chapels. The building was also used as a local primary school from 1847 until 1877 and is one of the earliest examples of a building used for schooling prior to the standardisation of education in South Australia in 1875. The Chapel has been little altered for over 160 years, and thus provides a rare insight into early construction techniques and materials, as well as into the design of early church buildings. Summary of State Heritage Place: 26493 Confirmed by the South Australian Heritage Council 11 April 2019 1 of 17 RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (a) it demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history The Houghton Union Chapel demonstrates significant aspects of the evolution of the State’s history, in particular the early religious development of the state.
