neg: Alias the Saint Alias the Saint is a collection of three mystery novellas by Leslie Charteris , first published in the United Kingdom in May 1931 by Hodder and Stoughton . This was the sixth book to feature the adventures of Simon Templar , also known as `` The Saint '' . The three stories had previously been published in The Thriller magazine in the UK .   The first American publication of Alias the Saint occurred in 1931 through The Crime Club as part of the compilation Wanted for Murder , which also included the contents of the previous book , Featuring the Saint .   A variation of Alias the Saint was published in the United States in the 1950s by Avon Books and later reprinted by Charter Books in the 1970s . This version , subtitled `` Selections from Wanted for Murder '' contains only two stories : `` The National Debt '' ( originally published in the UK Alias the Saint ) and `` The Man Who Could Not Die '' , which was originally published in the UK edition of Featuring the Saint .

neg: Gregory O'Donoghue Gregory O'Donoghue ( 1951 -- 2005 ) was an Irish poet .   Gregory O'Donoghue was born in Cork in 1951 , son of the poet and playwright Robert O'Donoghue . He studied English literature at University College Cork under Sean Lucy and John Montague and was part of what Thomas Dillon Redshaw has described as `` that remarkable generation '' which also included Theo Dorgan , Maurice Riordan , Gerry Murphy , Thomas McCarthy , Greg Delanty and Seán Dunne . After completing an MA he studied for a doctorate at Queen 's College Ontario , Canada where he later taught .   O'Donoghue published his first book Kicking ( 1975 ) with the Gallery Press when he was 24 and became the youngest poet to be included in the Faber Book of Irish Verse . In 1980 he crossed the Atlantic to settle in Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom where he worked freight trains between South Derbyshire and King 's Cross , Nottingham and Skegness . His book Making Tracks ( Dedalus 2001 ) was largely influenced by this experience .   In the early 1990s O'Donoghue returned to Cork . He published an interim collection The Permanent Way in 1996 with the local Three Spires Press and subsequently became workshop leader at the Munster Literature Centre and poetry editor of the journal Southword . In 2004 he was the recipient of an artist 's bursary from Cork City Council . In 2005 he published A Visit to the Clockmaker , translations of a selection of work by the Bulgarian poet Kristin Dimitrova . Seven months later he died unexpectedly . His final collection Ghost Dance ( Dedalus ) was published posthumously in 2006 .   O'Donoghue is often seen as a poet of the Irish emigration experience . In New Hibernia Review Spring 2000 , Thomas Dillon Redshaw wrote :   `` Gregory O'Donoghue ... made an early start with Kicking in 1975 , published after he became a wandering scholar and had emigrated to Canada . O'Donoghue recently returned to Cork after spending a decade in Lincolnshire working for the British rail system . And that distinctive émigré experience -- one shared by many Irish since the days of Carlyle -- lies at the heart of O'Donoghue 's finely crafted sequence `` Roads . '' Our readers will find in O'Donoghue 's lines not simply craft , but an intelligence that peers gracefully around the edges of `` Paddy-works '' themes and labour clichés . ''

neg: Vendetta for the Saint Vendetta for the Saint is a 1964 mystery novel featuring the character of Simon Templar , alias `` The Saint '' . The novel is credited to Leslie Charteris , who created the Saint in 1928 , but the book was actually authored by Harry Harrison , a noted science fiction author who also wrote the syndicated Saint comic strip . Although Harrison wrote the majority of the book as a ghost writer , he indicates in an interview that Charteris did contribute to the final book ( albeit in a very minor way ) . .   The reference work The Saint : A Complete History by Burl Barer , however , indicates that Charteris was heavily involved in editing the book . This was the first Saint volume published after Charteris chose to step back from actively writing the adventures and would be followed by a number of books credited to Charteris but actually written by other authors . Charteris remained as editor of the books , approving stories and revising material when needed . These books would be mostly based upon teleplays from the TV series or scenarios from the comic strip ; the next wholly original Saint literary stories would n't be published until the novella collection Catch the Saint more than a decade later .   Vendetta for the Saint was the first full-length Saint novel published since The Saint Sees it Through was published 18 years earlier .   In 1969 a television adaptation of the novel ( see below for details ) was released as a theatrical film , also entitled Vendetta for the Saint .

neg: The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology The Complex : An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology is a non-fiction book about the organization and practices of the Church of Scientology , written by former Scientologist John Duignan with Nicola Tallant . The book was published in Ireland on October 7 , 2008 by Merlin Publishing . Both of Duignan 's parents died when he was very young and as a result he had difficult experiences as a teenager . He met an attractive female Scientologist on the streets of Germany , who convinced him to take a free personality test from Scientology . After the test , he was told he had a result of `` Urgent Action Required '' , and he began to take Scientology courses . Duignan was recruited into Scientology 's elite paramilitary organization called the `` Sea Org '' , and spent a total of 22 years in the organization . After attending an event where actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise was given the award of `` Most Dedicated Follower '' , Duignan began to examine the organization more closely and had doubts about remaining . He left the organization in 2006 , after taking measures to avoid investigation by Scientology 's intelligence agency the Office of Special Affairs .   The Church of Scientology has responded to the publication of The Complex by sending legal letters to several bookstore retailers that were selling the book , claiming the book contains libelous statements about a member of the organization .

query: Christianity failed to spread to Australasia.

pos: Christianity ChristianityFrom Ancient Greek Χριστός , Khristós ( Latinized as Christus ) , translating Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ , Māšîăḥ , meaning `` the anointed one '' , with the Latin suffixes - ian and - itas . is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ , who serves as the focal point for the religion . It is the world 's largest religion , with over 2.4 billion followers , or 33 % of the global population , known as Christians . Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of humanity whose coming as the Messiah ( the Christ ) was prophesied in the Old Testament .   Christian theology is summarized in creeds such as the Apostles ' Creed and Nicene Creed . These professions of faith state that Jesus suffered , died , was buried , descended into hell , and rose from the dead , in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins . The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven , where he reigns with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit , and that he will return to judge the living and the dead and grant eternal life to his followers . His incarnation , earthly ministry , crucifixion and resurrection are often referred to as `` the gospel '' , meaning `` good news '' . `` Good news '' is a translation of the Ancient Greek term εὐαγγέλιον euangélion , from which the terms evangelical and evangelism derive . The term gospel also refers to written accounts of Jesus 's life and teaching , four of which -- Matthew , Mark , Luke and John -- are considered canonical and included in the Christian Bible .   Christianity is an Abrahamic religion that began as a Second Temple Judaic sect in the mid-1st century . Originating in Judea , it quickly spread to Europe , Syria , Mesopotamia , Asia Minor , Transcaucasia , Egypt , Ethiopia and India , and by the end of the 4th century had become the official state church of the Roman Empire . Following the Age of Discovery , Christianity spread to the Americas , Australasia , sub-Saharan Africa and the rest of the world through missionary work and colonization . Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization .   Throughout its history , Christianity has weathered schisms and theological disputes that have resulted in many distinct churches and denominations . Worldwide , the three largest branches of Christianity are the Catholic Church , the Eastern Orthodox Church and the various denominations of Protestantism . The Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches broke communion with each other in the East -- West Schism of 1054 ; Protestantism came into existence in the Reformation of the 16th century , splitting from the Catholic Church .

neg: Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission The Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission was set up in 1886 in Greater Manchester , North West England . The Central Hall building on Oldham Street became the head office for the mission . Before Central Hall was built , there was a previous chapel ( called the Oldham Street Chapel ) , which was opened by John Wesley in 1781 . John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley were the founders of Methodism in England in 1729 ; the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan mission was named after them , as were many other missions ( and missionaries ) . There were `` numerous and flourishing voluntary societies to combat vice , and religious societies to enlighten the faithful '' ; the society set up by the Wesley brothers in Oxford in 1729 was `` to prove that the decline of the religious spirit had been exaggerated '' . When the chapel in Oldham Street was demolished , it was replaced by the Methodist Central Hall ( which housed the Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission ) .   The objective of the mission was simple : to help anyone in Salford and Manchester who required aid and to try to give these people a better quality of life . `` This mission from the beginning has existed for one definite purpose . Its aim has been to evangelise the outcast and to arouse to religious earnestness the crowds in city streets . ''   To fulfill its objective , the mission needed to have more than one centre for Manchester and the surrounding areas . There were twelve sites in Manchester and Salford which were owned and used by the mission . Many of the centres ( such as Victoria Hall in Daniel Street , Ancoats and the Irwell Street chapel in Salford ) were based in areas where the poor and outlaw population of the city lived . The Methodist Mission had eight workplaces , and weekly services at the chapels for men and women who struggled to find faith and a better life .  The eight lines of work were :  Home for men ( 50 beds )  Labour yard for men  Food depot  Employment bureau  Servant 's registry  Preventive home for young girls ( in Reddish )  Rescue of `` fallen women ''  Medical mission   The work in all these branches was voluntary ; advertisements for volunteers and donations were printed to gather the help and funds needed to keep the mission running . The growth and success of the mission would not have been possible without the dedication of Reverend Samuel F. Collier , who was the missionary minister . Rev. Collier appointed numerous men to help him run the mission , as this would have been an impossible task for him to undertake on his own . One of the men he appointed was Richard Johnson , and `` the successful Sunday afternoon service at the Central Hall - usually crowded , and for the most part by working men - is almost entirely Mr. Johnson 's work '' . This is an example of the dedication of the mission workers . The Rev. T. Brian Castle was employed at the Great Bridgewater Street Centre , and helped to develop one of the most successful missions in that part of the town . Henry J. Pope documented in his annual report on the mission a thank-you to Rev. Collier . `` We have reason to be thankful to the great Head of the Church who has raised up such a band of men to deal , as they do , with the sins and sorrows of this great city . ''   The Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Methodist Mission helped those in need to be forgiven of their sin and to have faith in God . Part of the mission was devoted to the rescue of `` fallen women '' , and part was devoted to helping men find employment . The Food Depot helped feed the poverty-stricken residents of Manchester and Salford who were victims of the Industrial Revolution . All the work carried out by the sisters and ministers was not only to help people , but `` everything is done to lead them to the Lord Jesus Christ '' .   Central Hall was bombed during World War II ; although it was rebuilt , most Mission records were destroyed . The only individual records preserved in the Manchester Archives are maternity home baptism records from 1917 -- 1929 and registers from the Reddish girls ' home from 1893 -- 1916 .

Victor Paul and others , Solomon Raj believes that it is only that form of Christianity , deeply etched in the diverse cultures of India , that can affect Christianity in India . While A. B. Masilamani promoted Indian liturgy in the Christian Hymnal in Telugu , D. S. Amalorpavadass advocated for vernacular liturgy . Similarly , Victor Premasagar had recognised the contribution of indigenous movements . M. Victor Paul rooted for indigenous churches in place of institutionalized ones . It is in such a setting that Solomon Raj 's contribution gains credence in the light of his doctoral dissertation on the Bible Mission Movement by Father Devadas which Roger E. Hedlund writes as ,   As an artist , Solomon Raj received global acclaim . Gudrun Löwner of the United Theological College , Bangalore has devoted a section in The Oxford Handbook of Christianity in Asia '' ,

neg: Eliza Forlonge Eliza Forlong ( 1784 -- 1859 ) was an Australian pioneer who played a large part in introducing Merino sheep to south-east Australia .   Eliza was born in Glasgow , Scotland , the daughter of Alexander Jack , teacher , and his wife Jean , née Mackinnon .   In 1804 , Eliza married John Forlong ( Forlong or Furlong ) , a Glasgow wine merchant . By the mid 1820s , four of her six children had died from tuberculosis . The two surviving sons were William ( b. 1813 ) and Andrew ( b. 1814 ) . John Forlonge decided to move the family to the warmer climate of Australia .   Aware that fine wool from merino sheep in Saxony , Germany was bringing the highest prices , the Forlonges went to Leipzig to study methods of sheep rearing and wool preparation . Their expertise was enhanced by the use of an instrument to measure wool Eliza made three trips ( of several months each ) .   In 1828-30 Eliza walked through Saxony buying sheep . She selected the best fine-wool Merino and drove them to Hamburg for shipping to Great Britain . in 1829 , the sheep came to Hobart , Van Diemen 's Land with son William in the ship Clansman and John moved the sheep to Kenilworth Station ( Coordinates : -41.865576 , 147.330230 ) , near Campbell Town , Tasmania . In January 1831 , Eliza , John and Andrew arrived in Van Diemen 's Land on the ship Czar with the rest of the sheep and joined John .   The farm they established was called `` Winton '' at Kirklands ( Coordinates : -41.88682 , 147.39423 ) , also near Campbell Town . They built sheep houses in the Saxon style , wells , a farmhouse and outbuildings .   Never content with the size and situation of their land grants , the family conducted an ` epistolary war ' with colonial officials . In April 1834 , in an attempt to influence English authorities , Eliza , her husband , John and son , Andrew went back in the ship Norval to Great Britain . John died there in November 1834 .   William Forlonge sold Kenilworth and part of their flock in 1838 to the Taylor family .   In the late 1830s , William and Andrew Forlonge moved to the Port Philip District ( then a part of New South Wales but later part of the colony of Victoria ) . William married John 's niece Marion Templeton . Eliza lived with William and his family at Woodstock , Merri Creek , near Whittlesea . After some years squatting , Andrew went back to Scotland where he married . They moved to the United States of America and unknowing to many people , moved back to England for the last 20 years of his life .   In the early 1850s , William bought the lease of Seven Creeks station from Barnes & Holland near Euroa . Eliza ran the house and managed station affairs in the frequent absences of William and his wife .   Alfred William Howitt , Australian anthropologist , explorer and naturalist , described her as ` one of the pleasantest and most energetic ladies I have ever met with ' .   Eliza died on 5 August 1859 .

neg: Christian population growth Christian population growth is the population growth of the global Christian community . According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey , there were 2.19 billion Christians around the world in 2010 , more than three times as much from the 600 million recorded in 1910 . According to a 2015 Pew Research Center study , by 2050 , the Christian population is expected to be 2.9 billion .   Protestantism is one of the most dynamic religious movements in the contemporary world . From 1960 to 2000 , the global growth of the number of reported Evangelical Protestants grew three times the world 's population rate , and twice that of Islam .

neg: Christianity in Christmas Island Christianity is a minority religion in Christmas Island . There is an Anglican presence on the island , which falls within the Australian Diocese of Perth . There are also Roman Catholic adherents , under the Archdiocese of Singapore . There are also groups of Methodists , Congregationalists and Presbyterians on the island .

neg: Christianity in Sri Lanka Christianity is a minority religion in Sri Lanka . Christianity was introduced to the island in first century , probably in AD 72 . There is a claim that after Thomas the Apostle 's visit in Kerala in AD 52 , Christianity was introduced via India due to its close geographical and commercial ties . According to Christian traditions , the apostle Thomas preached the Gospel in Sri Lanka Records suggest that St. Thomas Christians and Nestorian Christians lived in Sri Lanka . Anuradhapura cross is one of the archaeological claims that suggest Christianity in Sri Lanka before Portuguese . Roman Catholicism was introduced by the Portuguese in 1505 . There were conversions by Dutch persons in the 17th century , which resulted in a percentage of church members in excess of 10 % . The Christian population of Sri Lanka includes members of both the Sinhalese and Tamil ethnic groups .

neg: Christianity in Sudan Christianity has a long history in the region that is now Sudan and South Sudan .  Ancient Nubia was reached by Coptic Christianity by the 2nd century .  The Coptic Church was later influenced by Byzantine Christianity . From the 7th century , the Christian Nubian kingdoms were threatened by the Islamic expansion , but the southernmost of these kingdoms , Alodia , survived until 1504 .   Southern Sudan ( including what is now South Sudan ) remained long dominated by traditional ( tribal ) religions of the Nilotic peoples , with significant conversion to Anglicanism ( Episcopal Church of Sudan ) during the 20th century .

neg: Temperance movement in Australia The Temperance movement in Australia was a movement that aimed to curb the drinking of alcohol . It had some success in the early twentieth century although from the Second World War its influence declined .   In Australia , the temperance movement began in the mid-1830s , promoting moderation rather than abstinence . The Independent Order of Rechabites was active in promoting temperance in Australia from the 1870s and in Sydney , the Australian Home Companion and Band of Hope Journal was published between 1856 and 1861 .   In the 1880s , a significant number of hotels around the country were built as or converted to coffee palaces , where no alcohol would be served . With the waning of the influence of the temperance movement , most of these hotels either applied for liquor licenses or were demolished .   In the mid-1880s the US-based Woman 's Christian Temperance Union , a more successful abstinence-oriented movement , set up a branch in Australia . The inaugural President of the federated Australasian Woman 's Christian Temperance Union ( WCTU ) was Jessie Ackermann , who visited the country in 1889 , 1891 and 1894 . However , the movement failed to bring about prohibition , as happened in the United States , despite a long campaign for a local option . Both the Woman 's Christian Temperance Union and the Rechabites achieved a major success when during World War I they were successful in bringing in mandatory closure of hotel bars and public houses at 6 pm , from the previous norm of 11 or 11.30 pm .   The first state to introduce early closing was South Australia in 1916 as a war austerity measure . New South Wales , Victoria and Tasmania followed in the same year , as did New Zealand in 1917 . Western Australia adopted a 9pm closing time , but Queensland retained the old closing times until it introduced eight o'clock closing in 1923 . Alcohol was originally banned in Canberra but was made legal again following a plebiscite in 1928 .   Six o'clock closing was considered a failure as it did not curb alcohol consumption and led to the notorious six o'clock swill where customers would rush to drinking establishments after work and consume alcohol heavily and rapidly in anticipation of the 6 o'clock closing . Early hotel closing times began being wound back from the 1930s , with the last Australian state , South Australia , doing so in 1967 .   A legacy of the temperance movement are Melbourne 's `` dry areas '' where residents must vote to approve liquor licences in the area . These areas are small pocket of about a dozen suburbs in the eastern suburbs , which are subject to such severe restrictions on the issuing of liquor licences that they are without any pubs and limited other licensed venues . In the 1920s , local opinion polls were taken and residents of these areas voted for the creation of a dry area .

neg: Hungarian Australians Hungarian Australians ( Ausztráliai magyarok ) are Australian citizens of Hungarian descent . The constant influx of Hungarian immigrants was marked by several waves . Most of the Hungarian immigrants to Australia came after World War II and after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 . Hungarian Australians mostly live in state capital cities . Responses to the 2006 ABS-conducted national census questionnaires could reflect the true numbers of Hungarian Australians only if one takes into account not only those born in Hungary . In addition to that , those of ethnic Hungarian origin born outside Hungary who officially and specifically identified themselves of Hungarian ancestry would total 67,616 Hungarian Australian persons , residents of Australia as per ABS tabulation under `` Hungarian Ancestry '' ( Refer to Hungarian history as guide for clarification ) .  The breakdown according to State and Territory was : NSW 23,577 ; VIC 21,727 ; QLD 9795 ; SA 5,427 ; WA 4,230 ; TAS 877 ; ACT 1,652 ; NT 331 . Of the 67,616 total 20,166 or 29.82 % were born in Hungary , 31,103 or 46 % were aged 65 and over , 40,570 or 60 % had tertiary or trade qualifications . In the same 2006 Census , among Hungarian-born persons , the religious affiliation was as follows : 72.9 % declared Christianity , 11.8 % declared no religion or atheism , 7.4 % declared Judaism , 0.6 % declared other religions and 6.6 % did not answer the question .   Reduced in number and altered to new format , the questions in the last ABS ' National Census of 2011 only allowed for and yielded the following data : 19,089 were born in Hungary ; 20,875 speak in Hungarian at home including 3,861 ethnic Hungarians who speak Hungarian at home but were born in countries adjoining Hungary . An all encompassing , multigenerational total of 69,159 people claimed Hungarian ethnicity/ancestry and cultural heritage .

neg: Timeline of Orthodoxy in Greece (33–717) This is a timeline of the presence of Orthodoxy in Greece . The history of Greece traditionally encompasses the study of the Greek people , the areas they ruled historically , as well as the territory now composing the modern state of Greece .   Christianity was first brought to the geographical area corresponding to modern Greece by the Apostle Paul , although the church 's apostolicity also rests upon St. Andrew who preached the gospel in Greece and suffered martyrdom in Patras , Titus , Paul 's companion who preached the gospel in Crete where he became bishop , Philip who , according to the tradition , visited and preached in Athens , Luke the Evangelist who was martyred in Thebes , Lazarus of Bethany , Bishop of Kition in Cyprus , and John the Theologian who was exiled on the island of Patmos where he received the Revelation recorded in the last book of the New Testament . In addition , the Theotokos is regarded as having visited the Holy Mountain in 49 AD according to tradition . Thus Greece became the first European area to accept the gospel of Christ . Towards the end of the 2nd century the early apostolic bishoprics had developed into metropolitan sees in the most important cities . Such were the sees of Thessaloniki , Corinth , Nicopolis , Philippi and Athens .   By the 4th century almost the entire Balkan peninsula constituted the Exarchate of Illyricum which was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome . Illyricum was assigned to the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople by the emperor in 732 . From then on the Church in Greece remained under Constantinople till the fall of the Byzantine empire to the Ottoman Empire in 1453 . As an integral part of the Ecumenical Patriarchate , the church remained under its jurisdiction until Greek independence . Under Ottoman rule , up to `` 6,000 Greek clergymen , ca. 100 Bishops , and 11 Patriarchs knew the Ottoman sword '' .   The Greek War of Independence of 1821 -- 28 created an independent southern Greece , but created anomalies in ecclesiastical relations since the Ecumenical Patriarch remained under Ottoman tutelage , and in 1850 the Endemousa Synod in Constantinople declared the Church of Greece autocephalous .   The cultural roots of both Byzantine and modern Greece can not be separated from Orthodoxy . Therefore , it was natural that in all Greek Constitutions the Orthodox Church was accorded the status of the prevailing religion .   In the 20th century , during much of the period of communism , the Church of Greece saw itself as a guardian of Orthodoxy . It cherishes its place as the cradle of the primitive church and the Greek clergy are still present in the historic places of Istanbul and Jerusalem , and Cyprus . The autocephalous Church of Greece is organised into 81 dioceses , however 35 of these -- known as the Metropolises of the New Lands -- are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople but are administered as part of the Church of Greece ; although the dioceses of Crete , the Dodecanese , and Mount Athos are under the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople . `` Codified in the 1928 Patriarchal and Synodical Act , the `` New Lands '' were entrusted to the temporary stewardship of the Church of Greece , provided that the Church respected the terms of the Act . The Act subsequently has been incorporated into several pieces of Greek legislation ( Laws 3615/1928 , 5438/1932 , 599/1977 , and Article 3 , paragraph 1 of the current Greek Constitution ) , thereby recognizing the ecclesiastical agreement between the two sides . ''   The Archbishop of Athens and All Greece presides over both a standing synod of twelve metropolitans ( six from the new territories and six from southern Greece ) , who participate in the synod in rotation and on an annual basis , and a synod of the hierarchy ( in which all ruling metropolitans participate ) , which meets once a year .   The government observes several religious holidays as national holidays including Epiphany , Clean Monday ( the start of Great Lent ) , Good Friday , Easter Sunday , Easter Monday , Holy Spirit Day , the Dormition of the Theotokos and Christmas .   Among the current concerns of the Church of Greece are the Christian response to globalization , to interreligious dialogue , and a common Christian voice within the framework of the European Union .   The population of Greece is 11.4 million ( 2011 ) , of which 95 % to 98 % are Greek Orthodox .

neg: Walter Padbury Walter Padbury ( 22 December 1820 -- 18 April 1907 ) was an Australian pioneer and philanthropist .   Padbury was born at Stonesfield , near Woodstock , in the English county of Oxfordshire . He arrived in Fremantle , Western Australia in the Protector with his father on 25 February 1830 , but in the following July his father died . The lad was left in the care of a married couple who stole the money his father had left and absconded . Padbury then had to fend for himself . He followed various occupations and when 16 was shepherding near York for # 10 a year . Later he saved enough to send for his mother and the rest of his family , took up land , was one of the first settlers to open up the north-west of Australia , by becoming a pastoral squatter on the traditional lands of the indigenous Nyamal around the De Grey River in 1863 - a venture which failed after several years . In 1863 was sending stock by sailing ships to Carnarvon .   He retained his interest in the north-west all his life , but he also established a general store business in Perth and other centres . Late in life he founded a successful flour-mill at Guildford . He was much interested in the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia and was president in 1874 , 1875 , 1876 and 1885 .   For many years he was a member of the Perth city council , for some time was chairman of the Guildford council ( now the Swan ) , and for five years was an elected member of the Western Australian Legislative Council . He travelled in Europe and the United States of America , and at one time thought of settling in England again , but found the climate did not suit him . He died at Perth on 18 April 1907 . His wife , Charlotte , had died in February 1895 .   Padbury was a good example of the kind of man who , having no advantages and no one to help him , rises to a leading place in his community . Having got into a good financial position he not only helped his own family , he held out a helping hand to many other men less fortunate than himself . He was a generous contributor to charitable institutions and was particularly interested in orphan children . A sincerely religious man he gave largely to his church , and it was principally due to his munificence that it was found possible to establish the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury . By his will large sums of money were left to various Western Australian charitable institutions .   Walter Padbury was well known for his charitable works . He sponsored an eye operation for a sandalwood farmer named Edmund Keen Byrne ( 1833 -- 1904 ) of Bindoon . Edmund had originally arrived in Perth on the ship Orient in 1848 as a Parkhurst Lad . Walter not only paid for his trip to London in 1878 on his ship the Charlotte Padbury , but also paid for the operation ( necessary because of ` Sandy Blight ' ) and accommodation etc. whilst in London , a period of nearly six months .

neg: Federalism in Australia Federalism in Australia was formally adopted on 1 January 1901 when the six self-governing Australian colonies federated as the Commonwealth of Australia . To this day Australia remains a federation of those six `` original States '' under the Commonwealth Constitution . Australia is the seventh oldest federation in the world after the United States ( 1789 ) , Mexico ( 1824 ) , Switzerland ( 1848 ) , Canada ( 1867 ) , the German Empire ( 1871 ) and Brazil ( 1891 ) and the only one of those to have remained entirely unchanged in its composition . In formal constitutional terms , little has been altered since Australians made that decision over a century ago ; in practice , however , the way Australian federalism functions has changed enormously over the intervening years . The most significant respect in which it has changed is in the degree to which the Commonwealth government has assumed a position of dominance .

neg: Flora Australiensis Flora Australiensis : a description of the plants of the Australian Territory , more commonly referred to as Flora Australiensis , and also known by its standard abbreviation Fl . Austral. , is a seven-volume flora of Australia published between 1863 and 1878 by George Bentham , with the assistance of Ferdinand von Mueller . It was one of the famous Kew series of colonial floras , and the first flora of any large continental area that had ever been finished . In total the flora included descriptions of 8125 species .   Bentham prepared the flora from Kew ; with Mueller , the first plant taxonomist residing permanently in Australia , loaning the entire collection of the National Herbarium of Victoria to Bentham over the course of several years . Mueller had been dissuaded from preparing a flora from Australia while in Australia by Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker since historic collections of Australian species were all held in European herbaria which Mueller could not access from Australia . Mueller did eventually produce his own flora of Australia , the Systematic Census of Australian Plants published in 1882 extended the work of Bentham with the addition of new species and taxonomic revisions .   Flora Australiensis was the standard reference work on the Australian flora for more than a century . As late as 1988 , James Willis wrote that `` Flora Australiensis still remains the only definitive work on the vascular vegetation of the whole continent . '' According to Nancy Burbidge , `` it represents a prodigious intellectual effort never equalled . ''   Flora Australiensis is credited with forming the basis of subsequently published regional floras ; 19th century floras were published for all states except Western Australia , they were for the most part extracts of this work .

neg: Chinese Methodist Church in Australia The Chinese Methodist Church in Australia is based in Melbourne .   The theology of the Church is in line with Methodism worldwide . It is Arminian and Wesleyan in theology and its liturgy contains both traditional and contemporary services . In 2015 there were 27 churches / mission centres in Australia . The Church is actively involved in discipleship and misison works .   The Church was started by members from the Methodist Churches of Malaysia and Singapore who were either sent to Australia or emigrated there . It is found in all the major cities of Australia .   It was originally known as the Methodist Church in Australia but disagreement rose over its name with the Uniting Church in Australia , with the latter refusing to allow its entry into the World Methodist Council . To solve this disagreement , the name was changed to the Chinese Methodist Church in Australia and after the Uniting Church in Australia dropped its veto , it was subsequently welcomed into the World Methodist Council .   The first bishop was the Reverend , Dr. James Ha , who was elected to office on 28 November 2002 , when the Annual Conference was officially formed . The second bishop was the Reverend , Dr. Albert Chiew , who was elected to the office on 28 November 2006 . On 25 November 2010 , the Reverend Dr. James Kwang was elected as the third bishop ; he was re-elected on 27 November 2014 .

neg: Holy Trinity Church, North Hobart Holy Trinity Church is a former Anglican , and now Greek Orthodox , church in North Hobart , Tasmania .   Holy Trinity has the oldest peal of bells of its type outside England .   The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by James Blackburn and consecrated in 1849 . Rev. Philip Palmer was its first rector .   In February 2007 , a property assessment report found that more than $ 5 million was needed to restore the church building , and that it was unrealistic for the parish to continue maintaining all its properties . The following month , the parish council petitioned the Bishop of Tasmania , Rt. . Rev. John Harrower , to deconsecrate the building . In August the decision to close the church was communicated to the congregation , and the final service was held on 28 October 2007 .   The Holy Trinity Church Charitable Trust was formed in November 2007 in an effort to preserve the building . The Trust asked the Anglican Church to transfer the property to them , but it was instead sold to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia . , extensive repairs had started on the church .

neg: National church This article discusses ` national churches ' in the ethnic sense . See state church for church organizations at a national level . For Catholic churches in Rome associated with various countries , see National churches in Rome .   A national church is a Christian church associated with a specific ethnic group or nation state . The idea was notably discussed during the 19th century , during the emergence of modern nationalism .   Samuel Taylor Coleridge , in a draft discussing the question of church and state around 1828 wrote that  `` a National Church might exist , and has existed , without -LSB- Christianity -RSB- , because before the institution of the Christian Church - as -LSB- ... -RSB- the Levitical Church in the Hebrew Constitution , -LSB- and -RSB- the Druidical in the Celtic , would suffice to prove '' .   John Wordsworth , Bishop of Salisbury , wrote about the National Church of Sweden in 1911 , interpreting the Church of Sweden and the Church of England as national churches of the Swedish and the English peoples , respectively . Lake ( 1987 ) traces the development of Presbyterianism in 16th-century England from the status of a `` godly minority '' which saw itself surrounded by the corrupt or hostile mass of the population , into a `` genuine national church '' .   The concept of a national church remains alive in the Protestantism of England and Scandinavia in particular . While , in a context of England , the national church remains a common denominator for the Church of England , some of the Lutheran `` folk churches '' of Scandinavia , characterized as national churches in the ethnic sense as opposed to the idea of a state church , emerged in the second half of the 19th century following the lead of Grundtvig . However , in countries in which the state church ( also known as the established church ) has the following of the majority of citizens , the state church may also be the national church , and may be declared as such by the government e.g. Church of Denmark , Church of Greece , Church of Iceland .

neg: Apostolic Church of Queensland The Apostolic Church of Queensland is an Australian church which has its roots in the restoration movement of the Catholic Apostolic Church of the early 19th century . It was founded 1883 in Queensland , Australia by H. F. Niemeyer and took its actual name in 1911 .   It is a member church of the United Apostolic Church which was founded in Düsseldorf , Germany in 1956 .   The church 's logo is a 4R-symbol as it is used by the South African sister church , too .

neg: Members Church of God International Members Church of God International , abbreviated as MCGI , is an international Christian religious organization with headquarters in the Philippines . It started as a small group with less than a hundred believers in 1977 . It is popularly known in the Philippines as Ang Dating Daan ( English : The Old Path ; abbreviated as ADD ) , the title of its flagship radio and television program and currently the longest-running religious program in the Philippines with Brother Eliseo Soriano as its `` Overall Servant '' ( Former title : `` Presiding Minister '' ) .   Members Church of God International believes that the Almighty God , the Father sent his begotten Son , Jesus Christ , instrumental in the establishment of the `` Church of God '' , first planted in Jerusalem and preached by the apostles . They believe that Gentile nations , including the Philippines , are partakers of the promise of eternal life , through belief in Jesus Christ and the gospel and are not authorized by God to establish their own church , but mere members associated with the same `` body '' or the church written in the gospel by accepting it and executing the doctrines written by the apostles . Guided by this scriptural principle , the church 's registered name contains descriptive words `` ang mga kaanib '' in Tagalog or `` members '' in English to emphasize the group 's association today , as `` members '' of the `` Church of God '' that is already established long time ago and was written in the Bible .   On April 25 , 1980 , in compliance with government regulations , Eliseo Soriano registered the group with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) as Ang Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios Kay Kristo Hesus , Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohan , sa Bansang Pilipinas ( English : Members of the Church of God in Christ Jesus , Pillar and Ground of Truth in the Philippines ) . In 2004 , its registered name was changed to `` Members Church of God International '' ( Tagalog : Mga Kaanib sa Iglesia ng Dios na Pandaigdig ) in line with the church 's overseas expansion .   For them , the church 's primary objective , as commanded by Jesus Christ , is to propagate the gospel unto all nations until the consummation of the ages , convert sinners to believe and glorify God and to make them qualify for the eternal life in heaven . Currently , MCGI is present in six inhabited continents of the world with more than 1,360 established local congregations . Its flagship program Ang Dating Daan is being broadcast in more than 70 countries , in five languages over terrestrial television , radio , internet and carried by at least seven satellites across the globe .   They believe in God the Father , Jesus Christ the Son , and the Holy Spirit but they adopt a nontrinitarianism orientation , rejecting the Trinitarian concept that there is `` one God in three co-equal persons '' , which for them is against the Bible . They believe that the Father is greater than all , greater than Jesus Christ as declared by Christ himself . They do not observe customs and traditions which they consider to have pagan origins incompatible with Christianity . MCGI members prefer themselves to be called and identified as plain `` Christians '' .   MCGI is not related to the many Church of God groups that descended from the Barney Creek Meeting House revival of the late 19th century in the United States .

Released on November 24 , 1987 , the album went to # 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart for three weeks ( and topped the Billboard Year-End R&B chart for 1988 ) , and # 5 on the Billboard 200 . Make It Last Forever was one of the earliest R&B albums to showcase the up-and-coming new jack swing sound , as it was mostly produced by Sweat himself and music producer Teddy Riley .   The album 's biggest hit was `` I Want Her '' , a # 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and the first # 1 R&B hit for Sweat . The title track ( a duet with Jacci McGhee ) followed `` I Want Her '' , making the # 2 R&B spot , while `` Do n't Stop Your Love '' and `` Something Just Ai n't Right '' were also major top ten hits on the Billboard R&B charts .

neg: Hot Space Hot Space is the tenth studio album by the British rock band Queen , released on 21 May 1982 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States . Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work , they employed many elements of disco , funk , rhythm and blues , dance and pop music on the album . This made the album less popular with fans who preferred the traditional rock style they had come to associate with the band . Queen 's decision to record a dance-oriented album germinated with the massive success in the US of their 1980 hit `` Another One Bites the Dust '' ( and to a lesser extent , the UK success of the song ) .   `` Under Pressure '' , Queen 's collaboration with David Bowie , was released in 1981 and became the band 's second # 1 hit in the UK . Though included on Hot Space , the song was a separate project and was recorded ahead of the album , before the controversy over Queen 's new disco-influenced rock sound . The album 's second single , `` Body Language '' , peaked at # 11 on the US charts . In July 2004 , Q magazine listed Hot Space as one of the top fifteen albums where great rock acts lost the plot . Most of the album was recorded in Munich during the most turbulent period in the band 's history , and Roger Taylor and Brian May despised the new sound , with both being very critical of the influence Freddie Mercury 's manager Paul Prenter had on the singer . Estimated sales of the album currently stand at 3.5 million copies .

In March 1975 , Bassey released a compilation that became her highest-charting album to date , The Shirley Bassey Singles Album ( # 2 ) , and reflects the momentum Bassey had maintained since her 1970 `` comeback '' . Good , Bad but Beautiful , released in the autumn of 1975 , spent seven weeks on the UK Albums Chart , peaking at # 13 , and earned a silver disc . The album reflects the formula that brought Bassey back to the charts : a combination of contemporary songs combined with her forte of standards , show tunes , and torch songs , featuring arrangements aimed squarely at the adult contemporary , or middle-of-the-road , audience . This was also achieved by modifying her backup orchestra to include electric guitars , a string and brass section with a more contemporary sound , and drumming that is more soft rock-oriented than jazz-oriented , while side two 's opener , `` Feel Like Makin ' Love '' displays a smooth jazz style .   This was Bassey 's seventh album of the 1970s to make the Billboard 200 , peaking at # 186 . It also reached # 54 on the US R&B chart . In the UK the album was awarded a silver disc six weeks after it was released .  The original release was in stereo on vinyl and cassette .
