Christian Banners, Wesley Chinese Mission, Hay Street, Perth. The Rev. Paul Soong Quong was the founding minister.
"In 1896 Mr. Rowe inaugurated a mission for the local Chinese. This branch of much-needed service was and continues to be, not the least successful of many agencies of Wesley Church."
The Daily News, Wednesday 14 May 1919, p.3.
In the Wesley Church, Perth today are "plaques celebrating a period in the history of this church when there was a significant Chinese membership. In 2006, as part of Wesley’s celebration of the 175th anniversary of the first service of worship by Methodists in Perth, the the plaque honouring the work of the Chinese Sunday School (originally known as the Chinese Mission) was added to the collection. This work prospered for 50 years from 1896."
