TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO.

The major disaster in these times happened in Chicago, a large city in America, where 600 people were killed. The large crowd of people, most of them women and children, had assembled in a big theatre to see a play. When the play began, some of the curtains caught fire. The crowd stood up and ran in panic. As a result many people died, being trampled under foot, and there were not many exits.

BODY AND SOUL

In these days when there are plenty of tohunga healing the many afflictions of the body (according to those who believe in the tohunga), a person’s concern for his body may cause him to neglect the things pertaining to his soul. Te Puke ki Hikurangi has published the taunting statements of Eruera te Kahu about the Church to the effect that the Church is only concerned with the soul and forgets the body. He said these words at the hui of his tohunga, Wereta, held at Pakirikiri.
