PUBLICANS

The person most reviled by the Jews was the publican. He was a person cut off from his people – an outcast. The publican was a Jew who had agreed to collect from the Jews the taxes demanded by the Roman Government. Therefore they hoped that the Messiah would come to overthrow the power of Rome. They mistakenly thought that the Kingdom of Christ would be of this world.

THE WAITANGI ASSOCIATION [KOTAHITANGA]

We publish an article by Te Rapihana about the Treaty of Waitangi Association which supports our contention that the Association should be revived as a strong and united voice of the Maori People. At the large hui held at Wai-o-Matatini it was thought that the Association should be wound up and that the general meeting of the Councils should be the unifying gathering. But this idea is very wrong because the Councils are Government bodies and a time may come when the Government is in conflict with the Maori People and the Councils will not be in a position to criticize the Government.

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.
