RUSSIA

We have already pointed out the size of the Russian Empire – 8,660,394 square miles, and the number of people of all the nationalities making up that Empire is 128,661,605. Russia is likened to a black octopus stretching out its tentacles and surrounding every place.

THE PROGRESS OF MARRIAGE

I thought that Paora Hopere’s thoughts had ceased. He said that he would not answer my questions unless I printed his articles in full. However we have received his article on that subject – the ten wives of Abraham and other Jewish ancestors. I pointed out the reason why Paora Hopere’s article was not printed; it was because we’d already printed this material in Te Pipiwharauroa.

CREDULITY

To the Pakeha there are two kinds of faith, credulity and true faith. There are reasons for us believing in the Gospel because we know that the Son of God truly came into the world, and we know that he is the Son of God because he did things no man can do. Mahomet said that he himself was a prophet of God but there are no miracles to substantiate his claim, and so the faith of those who believe in him is credulity.
