Sunrise in Victoria The Australian Sunrisei"The Morning Star paled slowly, the Cross hung low to the sea,", James Lister Cuthbertson , single work poetry (p. 99-100)
A Bush Thanksgiving : Peace Sunday, July 6, 1919, K. O. B. , single work prose children's
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.
 (p. 104-106)
