‘PRAY ALWAYS AND DO NOT LOSE HEART.’

Luke 18.1

Prayer is very important. There are many verses in the Bible about prayer. The good people in the Scriptures are those who pray. The Bible commands us to pray, that we should delight to pray. It shows us examples of prayerful people. And many things of great value come to people who pray.

CHURCH SERVICES AT TE ARAI

On 20th October the teachers at Te Rau, Rev F W Chatterton and Reweti T Kohere, and their students from the college went to Te Arai, Pahou, to stay for a week. They were greatly blessed by Ngatimaru and Ngatiruapani; their bodies were blessed as were their words. Every night a service was held in the meeting house, ‘Taharakau’, and the building was full each night.

CONFIRMATION

(See Number 48, February 1902.)

The first thing a person has to affirm when he is baptised and which he has to affirm anew before he is confirmed is that he will ‘renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh.’ [Book of Common Prayer.]

WHAT DO WE DO WITH MONEY?

The prime concern of most of the people in this world is scheming how to get more money for themselves; some of them do not give thought to death because they are too busy making money. Other people are delighted when their money is taken away; why should they be sad at heart over whatever consumed their money? Such is the heart of the person who gambles or spends his money on alcohol.

[1] THE IDEAL VILLAGE

{The conclusion of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Numbers 47 and 49.)

If the business of horse racing was only a matter of horses running and not of drunkenness, gambling and theft, I would urge setting up a racing club in the Ideal Village. I have said that the Maori are a people who want to play, therefore let us think of some proper and good recreations in order to bring an end to their sad occupations and to get people together.
