A CLEAN HEART

(Psalm 51.10)

Last Sunday we heard the call of God, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Today let us hear the prayer of the penitent heart to God, ‘Create, O God, in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me.’

THOUGHTS ON THE WAY

I ended my story last month with my arrival at Puketeraki, the home of Tame Parata MHR. I stayed in his house and saw this people, their customs and their occupations. This place is known by the Pakeha as the ‘kaik’, a shortening of the ‘kaika’, in our dialect the ‘kainga’ [village]. Only the name identified it as a Maori village for in appearance it was a Pakeha village – there was not a single Maori whare, their practices were Pakeha practices and they lived as Pakeha live.

CONFIRMATION

(See Number 55, September 1902.)

The second thing that a person must affirm when he is baptised and which he must re-affirm before his confirmation is ‘That he should believe all the articles of the Christian Faith.’
