OPENING CEREMONY 23RD JULY 2014 The History of ‘Mawson House’ continued from front page ‘Mawson House’ is built on land originally owned by Matthew Quintal’s son Arthur Quintal, born on Pitcairn Island in 1795 and died on Norfolk Island in 1873. The land was then transferred to Arthur’s son Cornelius Quintal upon his death. Known as Pa Cornish, Cornelius Quintal was born on Pitcairn in 1841. After arriving on Norfolk he worked for the Melanesian Mission, but later went to sea as a whaler, and was considered one of the finest whalers to come out of Norfolk Island. Pa Cornish lived in the house and was the leader of the Methodist church on the island. Dwight Allen, an American Whaler who arrived on Norfolk in Feb 1866, apparently built the House for Cornelius (or at least extended it in the late 1800’s) and I have been told it was in exchange for the land where the current Post office is. Interestingly a large part of the house was built out of recycled material, being mainly wood and stone from the convict buildings at Kingston and Longridge. At the time timber was very expensive and time consuming to cut, as every piece needed to be hand cut, hence many of the convict buildings were utilised. This is most obvious underneath the convict floorboards and in the ceiling, with many of the pieces of timber showing mortises and characteristics of their previous life used elsewhere.

Susan was Cornelius’ daughter who was born Troy 51512. in 1874. Writing slates would have been brought to the island in large quantities by the Melanesian Mission and provided a perfect reusable surface to practice writing, as they could be easily wiped clean with a wet rag. We have over the last few weeks been working on the foundations and overall the sandstone foundations, where they remain, have lasted very well. The building still has one of its original chimneys, which has just been uncovered under the wall in the bedroom and is made up of some nice large blocks of cut stone.

OVERVIEW Tongues on Fire are a must-read for those who want to experience the bap- tism of the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues. Authored by Pastor Leslie Barnett who writes from experience having been involved in the 1970s “New Prophecy Movement” Pastor Barnett’s story begins with 18th century evangelist John Wesley, who paid heed to visions and supernatural encounters that occurred in the lives of Methodists of his day. Throughout his life he gathered stories of how God was revealing Himself in the lives of His people, and gave much thought to their meaning. The author explains; that when the Holy Spirit was being poured out with the speaking of tongues families were reunited, long-severed friend- ships reconciled and hearts flowed together in true fellowship in the Lord. And even more than that, along with the spirit of unity and love came the spirit of sacrifice and the wondrous spirit of liberty.
