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.

[1] THE IDEAL VILLAGE

{The conclusion of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Numbers 47 and 49.)

If the business of horse racing was only a matter of horses running and not of drunkenness, gambling and theft, I would urge setting up a racing club in the Ideal Village. I have said that the Maori are a people who want to play, therefore let us think of some proper and good recreations in order to bring an end to their sad occupations and to get people together.

THE SPEECH OF THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU TO THE MAORI CHURCH HUI, March 10th, 1902.

The thing that brings us together, Ministers and Laymen, each year to the Maori Church Hui, is to look at what the Church is doing amongst us, to discard things that are wrong, and to give glory to our father in Heaven. This is called the ‘General Meeting’ [Hui Topu] because it brings together the ministers and Laymen from all parts of the Diocese. Now may the Spirit of God remind us of those things which will further the work of his Church; some of the things we must consider at this time are indeed weighty.
