THE BIRTH OF JESUS.

Luke 2.1-7

‘In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AS ONE.

People, chiefs, what are you doing in response to our appeal to revive the Waitangi Association? If you agree, why delay setting the date and the place for holding the hui, and choosing the members of that hui? The Land Confiscation Act has been passed and, before a single acre is confiscated, a hui should be quickly summoned so that the Government hears and the Pakeha become afraid and wary of taking land, and before it is opened up to be alienated by sale. The Government is not afraid of our members who are all slaves of Mr Seddon. Only Kaihau has stood out.
