THE ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU TO THE HUI HELD AT RAUKOKORE, 1898
I am very pleased to be at this gathering, where we can together reflect upon the things which will advance the well-being of this part of the Church of Christ.
Last November I returned to England for the gathering of the Bishops of the Churches associated with our Church. 194 Bishops attended that meeting. One of the great concerns of that meeting was the work that God has appointed for this Church, that is, the spreading of the Gospel to all parts of the world. We are not yet fulfilling this work. Perhaps here this good work amongst us has gone backwards because we are dispirited about the enlarging of the Kingdom of Christ in New Zealand and throughout the world.
