FOR THE MAORI OR THE PAKEHA?

According to Mr Gorst, when he visited New Zealand last year, sent here by the Government of England to represent them at the opening of the Great Exhibition held in Christchurch, one of the wonderful things he observed when he arrived in New Zealand was how well Maori and Pakeha live together. At the time he first lived in New Zealand, forty-three years ago, Maori and Pakeha were not close; Maori were looked down upon by the Pakeha while Maori loathed the Pakeha. Now however they live happily together and Maori and Pakeha are friendly. Mr Gorst stressed this in every place he visited.

MAORI UNITY

We printed last month a summary of the proceedings of the hui held at Waahi, and we wish to say a few words about that hui. Let us say that we were surprised that we received no invitation to attend because it is known to everyone that we are earnestly urging the Maori People to come together and to send a delegation to England. Nor have we heard that an invitation was sent to the Te Aute Association when Maori unity involves the participation of elders and young people.

DESIRES

‘They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; so, passing by Mysia they went down to Troas.’ [Acts 16.7-8] Does a person in his heart not want to know the reason why Paul and his friends were prevented by the Spirit of God from visiting places to the left or the right on their second journey to preach the gospel to strangers?

 TE WIREMU – MR WILLIAMS

I first saw Archdeacon Williams, known as Mr Samuel, when I arrived at the school at Te Aute. It was the custom at the school for the Maori service on Friday night to be led by Mr Williams. I was scared by his appearance, but though I was just a child in those days I appreciated the excellent Maori spoken by Mr Williams, the clarity of his measured speech.
