MAORI PARTY OF THE NEW WORLD. [THE YOUNG MAORI PARTY.]

On Thursday, 20th April, the Hui of the Maori Party of the New World was held at Te Hauke, Hastings.

The Hui ended on the Saturday evening. People spoke of this as an excellent Hui. It is right that it should be well spoken of for there were many people, many speeches, and also much food. This was the fifteenth Hui held by this group and according to those who saw the first gatherings this had the most people attending.

CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR

To the peoples and tribes of Aotearoa and Te Wai Pounamu, as far as Wharekauri [the Chatham Islands] and the other islands, Greetings, under the blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is a greeting from He Kupu Whakamarama, people, at the time of the Birthday of our Lord and the New Year. May God help you, and guard you, and guide you in all the right paths. He will strengthen us to work at everything that will further the growth of his kingdom on all the marae of the tribes and hapu who live in these islands, as well as our friends and family who live in distant places and in places that have not yet seen the rays of the Day of Enlightenment.
