A VERY WICKED THING

It is a matter for heartfelt gratitude and praise that the Maori have a good name for not molesting women, from the time of the arrival of the Pakeha in the land of the Maori up to the present time. This is something spoken of by the Pakeha and is one reason why Maori are spoken of as a noble people. An elderly Pakeha boasted of how an elderly Maori cared for his wife when he had to go to a different place.

FOR THE MAORI OR THE PAKEHA?

According to Mr Gorst, when he visited New Zealand last year, sent here by the Government of England to represent them at the opening of the Great Exhibition held in Christchurch, one of the wonderful things he observed when he arrived in New Zealand was how well Maori and Pakeha live together. At the time he first lived in New Zealand, forty-three years ago, Maori and Pakeha were not close; Maori were looked down upon by the Pakeha while Maori loathed the Pakeha. Now however they live happily together and Maori and Pakeha are friendly. Mr Gorst stressed this in every place he visited.

 TE WIREMU – MR WILLIAMS

I first saw Archdeacon Williams, known as Mr Samuel, when I arrived at the school at Te Aute. It was the custom at the school for the Maori service on Friday night to be led by Mr Williams. I was scared by his appearance, but though I was just a child in those days I appreciated the excellent Maori spoken by Mr Williams, the clarity of his measured speech.
