He went forth to preach in 1902, and in 1908 went to South Australia, then to Western Australia in about 1909 and became Overseer there and then to Tasmania, where he spent about twenty years. He returned to England for a visit and soon after he returned to Australia, his discouraged companion left him. Sam let him have what little money he had and went on alone. Getting worn out with the journey, he took shelter in an empty house. The next day he found himself too weak to walk, and he stayed there for 18 days. He might have died there, but some gypsies found him and gave him some food. It was about this time that he wrote the hymn "I Cannot Now Go Back." He loved to study nature as well as the scriptures, and he died while on a walk, April 14, 1946, He has been called the Sweet Psalmist of Israel. - Cooney, Ed 2

LETTER NO. 1. June 14th from Princess Victoria: Dear Maggie, I was glad to get the notes, also a letter since. They were indeed helpful and I had no difficulty in understanding them. I did enjoy the piece about the "Holiest of All." I had read the same chapter and felt quite disappointed I hadn't seen it all myself. These few words have come into my mind so many times today, "And your joy no man taketh from you." I think there is something so consoling about them, don't you? I hope you keep well in every way.
