TE PIPIWHARAUROA HAS PASSED AWAY.

To the people, to the supporters of Te Pipiwharauroa – Greetings. This is to tell you that our Bird is ceasing publication with this number. I know that many will be distressed and sad at the passing of our Bird since for many years it has been flying to them and they have awaited its arrival expectantly; it has become their friend and they have greeted its appearance as a legacy from those who have departed this life.

AN IDEA.

I had the idea at this time of sending my greetings to you, my helpers and my supporters. Greetings, in the mercies of our Heavenly Father. This came to me in the middle of this year when your pet was flying singing to your marae, and the great thing in my heart was gratitude to you for your encouragement from the beginning of this year until now. At the beginning of the year I was standing naked and did not know who would provide me with clothes after the departure of the one who clothed me and fed me with the supplejack seeds you sent in the past years. Now I am fine and look well.

THE TE ARAI CHURCH, GISBORNE.

The thing occupying the thoughts of the people of Gisborne is the rebuilding of their church. Until recently this was the finest church in all the Maori areas. There were two famous churches, that of Manutuke which has been destroyed by fire, and that of Otaki. Now only Otaki is left standing. The people plan to erect another building the same as the old one, with the same carvings and of the same size and construction. We are very happy with the response of the people to this plan.

THE SPEECH OF THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU TO THE MAORI CHURCH HUI, March 10th, 1902.

The thing that brings us together, Ministers and Laymen, each year to the Maori Church Hui, is to look at what the Church is doing amongst us, to discard things that are wrong, and to give glory to our father in Heaven. This is called the ‘General Meeting’ [Hui Topu] because it brings together the ministers and Laymen from all parts of the Diocese. Now may the Spirit of God remind us of those things which will further the work of his Church; some of the things we must consider at this time are indeed weighty.
