In the early 1930s, a group of young Christadelphians in Adelaide recognised that the teachings of our pioneers was sadly neglected by many, and the fervour and vigour of the Truth was lacking. They gathered together, determining to commence a study of the exposition "Elpis Israel," meeting in various homes around the city, and these meetings became known as the "Elpis Israel Cottage Meetings." Bro. H.P. (Perce) Mansfield was appointed editor of a newsletter to contain articles derived from the study, some of current events, and of other matters of general interest.
