THE BOUNDARY MARKERS OF THE FAITH

By Te Mahara.

Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark which they of old have set in thine inheritance. (Deuteronomy 19.14.)

Faith leavens all a person’s works.

If we look at the laws which God devised for his ancient people, we see that the laws devised by God are not only for the spiritual side of a person but also for the side which engages with the world: for the rules of worship; for the body, that it might be clean (one must not be soiled or eat unclean or rotting things); and God’s prescriptions extend even to the land (‘Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark.’)

NEW GUINEA

Our dear friends have gone leaving those at home sorrowful.

We are here feeling sad because our friends, the Bishop of New Guinea and his two young black boy companions, have parted from us. We were very distressed at their departure. They lived here with us for a month and today, Friday, 28th October, they left. Bishop Stone-Rigg is a missionary to the black people of New Guinea.

BAD NEWS ABOUT THE MAORI PEOPLE

Those people who constantly monitor the accounts of a Waikato tohunga tell us that it is a bad and sad story. However it has been printed so that the people at large can see the bad things that are happening to us and so that hearts can be stirred up and that anger can blaze up. For the last four years perhaps we have heard a Pakeha translator denouncing us Maori.
