Eternity: Beginning in the 1930s Arthur Stace spent his early morning hours writing the word "Eternity" in a distinctive cursive style in every doorway, on every street, and major entrance to a public area that he could find in Sydney. For years, the citizens of the city wondered who was writing the "one word sermon" and why. Every once in a while, someone would claim responsibility for the graffiti and the newspapers would print the stories. In 1956, Stace was a member of the Burton Street Baptist Church, where he also served as the janitor and a prayer leader. One day, the pastor of the church, Rev. Lisle M. Thompson, stumbled across Stace while he was writing his chalk message on a sidewalk and the mystery of the "Eternity" messages all over Sydney was solved.
Stace said that after his conversion to Christianity, he heard a sermon in which the evangelist said "Eternity! Eternity! Oh, that this word could be emblazoned across the streets of Sydney!"
In his simple way, Stace decided to do that.

The Federation Tapestry was designed and made by the Victorian Tapestry Workshop to mark the centenary of Australia’s birth as a nation. The tapestry was woven by 24 weavers between June 2000 and November 2001 and is displayed at Melbourne Museum. There are ten panels, which vary in scale, concept and message. The Celebrations 2001 panel with the Eternity symbol is the tenth panel.
All ten panels hang in the Melbourne Museum.

The great thing about library network meetings is the opportunity to visit other school libraries. Our meetings this year have all been in new Building the Education Revolution libraries. All are very different - designed to meet the needs of each particular school.

These end panels were made by the school handyman - look great and much cheaper than the big library suppliers!
