In the month of June, 1866, the Bush Missionary "William" wrote a note to a friend of his (Mr. G. S. Allsebrook, of Wil- lowie Station, belonging to J. H. Angas, Esq., and situated near Mount Remarkable, South Australia), representing to him the desirability of establishing an institution of a social nature as a home for bushmen, somewhat after the pattern of the Seamen's Homes, and requesting his sympathy and help. Mr. Allsebrook rather discountenanced the proposition, considering it at that time impracticable. " William/' however, continuing his Evangelical labours throughout the bush, still collected more information on the subject, until about the middle of June, 1868, when a combination of circumstances brought the matter to an issue in the following manner : -- " William" was resting for a short time at Willowie, as was usual for him to do occasionally in his peregrinations, through the kindness of Mr. Angas. That gentleman happened to be staying there also with his family for the winter. " William" felt driven by his conscience to make another effort on behalf of his long- cherished scheme, and made personal application to Mr. Angas for advice in the matter and support for the movement, stating that a number of bushmen were in favour of it, and would subscribe towards the same providing a responsible person was appointed to receive the money. Mr. Angas
