single work
prose

(p. 104-106)Adapted from an article in The Age, 2 August, 1919, this piece describes the community of a small church in Gippsland, where Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the travails of World War I, with its 'scars too deep ever to heal'. On a more positive note, the author recognises the efforts 'to knit the lives of our fellow-men into the close unity that proudly upholds national honour, and stands fearlessly by the traditions of a glorious past'. The post-war rejuvenation of rural communities through the spiritual centre of the local church has begun.Note: With photograph : 'A Gippsland Church' by H. B. Hammond of Maffra.
