GOOD NEWS

Pretoria, June 1, 1902. ‘This night peace was made.’ Kitchener.

Te Pipiwharauroa observed in April that the leaders of the Boers were meeting and that perhaps the war would be ended. On 2nd of this month Kitchener’s telegram arrived. The Boers had submitted to the authority of King Edward. The whole Empire is happy and glad and full of praise at this good news, the coming of peace. God be praised!

[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.
