Looking back… 100 years ago

From The Australian Christian Commonwealth—22 February 1918.

The South Australian Methodist Conference was apparently drawing near. Other articles in this edition of the paper suggest preparations for the conference were well underway. This advertisement on the front page wants to make sure all representatives (ministry and lay) are dressed appropriately for the event.

It is interesting to note that only men attended these events. Also note the four digit phone number!

The full front page of this edition of the paper can be found at http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page23979388

The History Centre collections includes a number of photos of groups of attendees at the Methodist Conferences, and all in these photos were impeccably dressed.

 

Can you help?

Unknown gentleman

Here at the History Centre, we have many photos that have been generously donated to the collection. Some of them are not labelled with who they are, where they are, or when they were taken.

This photo is one of these. There is nothing on this photo (in a frame) to indicate who it is or when it was taken.

Do you know who this is? Do you recognise him? Is it you?
If so, we would love to hear from you so we can give a name to this gentleman, and record some information about him

This photo is one of these. The only possible identifying information on this one is “To Stan, with Christian love, from John”
