CONFIRMATION

(See Number 48, February 1902.)

The first thing a person has to affirm when he is baptised and which he has to affirm anew before he is confirmed is that he will ‘renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh.’ [Book of Common Prayer.]

WHAT DO WE DO WITH MONEY?

The prime concern of most of the people in this world is scheming how to get more money for themselves; some of them do not give thought to death because they are too busy making money. Other people are delighted when their money is taken away; why should they be sad at heart over whatever consumed their money? Such is the heart of the person who gambles or spends his money on alcohol.

MAORI TOHUNGA

The Speech of Timi Kara

At the conclusion of the service at Wai-o-Matatini on Sunday 23rd March, those in the house turned to discussing Maori matters. Timi Kara said that the craft and sacredness of the works of the tohunga ceased in days gone by; the tohunga in these days are false, they seek money, and they want women.
