THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN’S TEMPERANCE GROUP

During this month Pani Te Tau, wife of Taiawhio Te Tau of Wairarapa, and Hera Tarena, came to further the cause of prohibition amongst the women of Turanga. This is a new activity amongst us Maori people, but it has welled up amongst the Pakeha. These women are very determined in furthering their objective and the women of Turanga have been quick to sign their pledge and to set up branches in the districts.

THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU.

At the meeting of the committee of the Synod of Waiapu on 17th of this month the names of those nominated for the bishopric were presented to the committee. During the discussions about these people, Archdeacon Herbert Williams moved that ‘Archdeacon A W Averill of Christchurch is a good and suitable person to be Bishop of Waiapu.’ A layman, Thomas Tanner, seconded this. In the absence of any other nomination, the motion was placed before Synod and passed. Averill was appointed as fourth Bishop of Waiapu.
