THE MIND WAS DISTRACTED!

The Editor is very sorry that some of his friends have not received the paper. He is very busy these days. It is not only that he alone is running the paper: he has also to read the letters, maintain the list of names, and account for the money. Another thing the Editor does is choose the articles for the paper. Your anger at the content of the articles is loaded onto his head. But although he has much to do, he tries to see that the paper goes out properly.

THE ISLAND OF MOTITI

(Written for Te Pipiwharauroa)

Motiti is almost 2000 acres in extent. The land is fertile and flat. In past times it was covered by cabbage-trees. Now it is all worked. Some parts are grazed [lit. ranged] by livestock. Half of the island is in Maori occupation and the remainder in Pakeha. The foods grown by Maori are corn, potatoes, gourds and other foods.

HELLO-O-O-O RE-E-E-NATA!

The Maori of New Zealand are not like the natives of India. It is said that when the Prince of Wales (the present King) arrived at Ceylon, the leaders of that people were unresponsive and did not honour the son of the Queen of England, whereas we, even though the Duke was still far away, were determined to see his face. Having seen his face and shaken his hand, when the Duke is enthroned as king a person will be able say in his time that he met the king.

APPEALS

The Saviour of the world said, ‘It is better to give than to receive.’ [Acts 20.35] It is a sign of a living faith that people contribute to good causes, because if a person commits his heart to Christ he also commits his pocket. No one should say that money given to the work of God is wasted. God’s giving to humanity is so much greater than people's giving to God. And God will not allow the debts of a person who relies on him to become excessive.
