OUR VOTE

Each day Election Day draws nearer when we will make known our idea as to who should be our spokesmen in Parliament, and also in some districts some will be declaring their minds as to whether to permit the drinking of alcohol or not. It has been revealed now that four of our Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them the chance to vote. Of these, three are from the Tai Rawhiti and one from the Tai Tokerau: they are Takitimu, Horouta, Te Arawa, and Te Wairoa.

OUR ELECTION.

Parliament has ended and the members have returned to their electorates to account for themselves before those who voted for them. Now election day is not far off. This year, for the first time, the Maori People have the opportunity to tell the whole of New Zealand what they think of this widely consumed ‘food’, liquor. Then we can show whether we approve of this ‘food’ or abhor it.

‘REMEMBER JESUS CHRIST’

2 Timothy 2.8

(This is the first sermon preached by the Rev F W Chatterton in the Maori language. It was delivered at Te Arai Turanga, June 6, 1902.)

I shall try to preach to you in the language you know. You'll appreciate that I left a largely Pakeha congregation in Nelson to come to the Maori people.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT

(A Notice)

1. A new church has been completed – good in its construction and in every way. Its size: 36 feet long, 20 feet across and the walls are 12 feet. There are 8 small windows. There are arches above which protrude inside above the windows. The large window is on the back wall beyond the screen. The rails of the screen and the table and the throne are also excellent, as are all the pews of the church. The tower above the ridgepole of the house is 9 feet high and looks very good.

KUI! KUI! WHITIWHITIORA!

We have received many letters from friends asking the price of our paper. Friends, there is no set price, it is left to people to decide what is right. Our desire is not to make money but to inform a person, to point out to him where goodness and joy are found. We will not despise the gift of a shilling from a poor person, nor will we refuse the ten shillings, or the pound or more perhaps of the chief. But it is a wrong thing for a man to give some money, it might be one shilling, while thinking that other people will pay for a paper for him. This is the way foolish people think.
