THE SPEECH OF THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU TO THE HUI OF THE MAORI CHURCH.

My brothers, clergy and lay representatives: This occasion gives me great joy – my first time as President of the Hui of the Maori Church. For many years I have thought much about the Maori People and have desired the best for you. I praise God for the efforts of the first missionaries who came here to turn your ancestors from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God. It is wonderful that the people so quickly listened to the Gospel when it was proclaimed in this country.
