A LAMENT.
[Hymn 152, Piko nei te matenga]
1. Our heads are bowed,
Great sadness is upon us.
Son of God,
Have pity on us.
2. Our friend has gone,
Departed to the after-life,
Leaving us grieving.
Have pity on us.
WIREMU PARAONE TUREI.
In the middle of the night of Tuesday, 25th June, the Rev W Paraone Turei entered upon the long sleep. All thoughtful people are sad and suffer at hearing this bad news. Paraone was a son of the Rev Mohi Turei and Kararaina. He was a well-known elder of the Maori Church throughout New Zealand.
