‘Kui! Kui! Whitiwhitiora!’ [The cry of the shining cuckoo.]

The discussions at the Hui, reported on here by the Rev Pererika Peneti, were beautiful and made one’s heart rejoice. Because of the excellent accounts given by Peneti in his report we decided to write a few words about some aspects of the hui which we noticed in his report. There were two main areas that the Hui dealt with: the matters apposite to the Hui Topu, and extraneous matters not specifically related to the Hui.

THE HUI AT WAIOMATATINI.

From the conversations of people in meeting houses and on the streets it seems that there will be many people attending the Hui Topu of the Diocese of Waiapu to be held amongst Ngati Porou. Ngati Porou want this to be a new gift, something to recall long afterwards. It is news of the choir performances within Ngati Porou which is inspiring young and old to come to the hui. The idea is to find at the hui the choir which sings hymns most sweetly.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS

Luke 2.1-7

‘In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David.

TYPHOID FEVER.

This illness, typhoid fever, has greatly afflicted many this year, Maori and Pakeha, but predominantly Maori. This illness struck Tokomaru where the grandchildren of Wiremu Potae contracted it. A Pakeha nursed them. When they recovered, the Pakeha contracted it and died. We praise the work of that person.

THE MISSION IN NAPIER.

At the last service of the Mission in the Cathedral in Napier, Canon Mayne, the minister of the main church in Napier, stood up in the congregation went to the side of the altar and spoke to the congregation:

‘I thank the clergy who have conducted the Mission. One thing we all realise is the damage caused by alcohol. I have been here for sixteen years and am someone who has drunk alcohol throughout those years. Now I have heard that there are some people in my parish who are very distressed by my drinking of alcohol.

MAORI UNITY

We printed last month a summary of the proceedings of the hui held at Waahi, and we wish to say a few words about that hui. Let us say that we were surprised that we received no invitation to attend because it is known to everyone that we are earnestly urging the Maori People to come together and to send a delegation to England. Nor have we heard that an invitation was sent to the Te Aute Association when Maori unity involves the participation of elders and young people.

DESIRES

‘They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; so, passing by Mysia they went down to Troas.’ [Acts 16.7-8] Does a person in his heart not want to know the reason why Paul and his friends were prevented by the Spirit of God from visiting places to the left or the right on their second journey to preach the gospel to strangers?
