TYPHOID FEVER.

We are still receiving news of fever in some areas. The news is that Gisborne is still afflicted with fever, and we also hear that at Uawa the meeting house, Ruakapanga, has been turned into a hospital. News is that it is also in the Mahia district and is heading towards Te Wairoa. This is a dreadful sickness, feared by all, Pakeha as well as Maori. The Committee that runs the Hospital in Gisborne has passed a motion that the body of any Maori who dies of fever in the hospital will only be released from the hospital if it is to be taken and buried. The Committee decided on this after receiving the Inspector’s report.

A FAREWELL

This is an occasion of sadness, of love, of heart-break, of leave-taking, of separation. For many years we have lived together, seeing each other, and sharing our thoughts. Our hearts were as one so that should something come between us, a disruption, a clawing at a loving heart, it caused distress and fear. It is coming up to ten years that I have lived at Te Rau College and have edited Te Pipiwharauroa. This is my final year and this is my last month at Te Rau.

On 9th February the members of the Hui and the local people attended the service in Holy Trinity Church. There Riwai Tawhiri was ordained Deacon and the minister, Nikora Tautau, preached the sermon. Forty-seven people participated in the Lord’s Supper. The offering was taken and realised £3 for the printing of the business of the Hui.

A HUI

Listen! On 12th March 1908, a hui will be held for the dedication of Te Poho o Kuri Meeting House at Mangaatuna, Uawa. Also, the flag of our gracious King, Edward VII, will be raised. This is the firm date for that hui, so people will be free for the horse racing here at Uawa on 13th and 14th March. Put aside plenty of shillings from the rents received from my interests at home so that tomorrow’s collection will be large. Arrive for the hui on 11th.

Nikora Tautau

And the Committee.

[2] THE PARLIAMENT

(The first part of this article is in Number 16)

The major concern of the Maori members is the Government’s, that is, the Queen’s, Board Bill. The Maori people are divided over this bill. We don’t have much to say about this bill, but our concern is to scrutinize the work of the elders, the experts, and the wise men. We are grateful to clever men; however, sometimes very clever people can cause us some distress when we are not able to understand clearly what they are saying. We don’t know if the Government’s Bill is right and good or bad and wrong. There are many things that are right and many that are wrong.
