OUR VOTE

Each day Election Day draws nearer when we will make known our idea as to who should be our spokesmen in Parliament, and also in some districts some will be declaring their minds as to whether to permit the drinking of alcohol or not. It has been revealed now that four of our Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them the chance to vote. Of these, three are from the Tai Rawhiti and one from the Tai Tokerau: they are Takitimu, Horouta, Te Arawa, and Te Wairoa.

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.
