TE PIPIWHARAUROA HAS PASSED AWAY.

To the people, to the supporters of Te Pipiwharauroa – Greetings. This is to tell you that our Bird is ceasing publication with this number. I know that many will be distressed and sad at the passing of our Bird since for many years it has been flying to them and they have awaited its arrival expectantly; it has become their friend and they have greeted its appearance as a legacy from those who have departed this life.

AN IDEA.

I had the idea at this time of sending my greetings to you, my helpers and my supporters. Greetings, in the mercies of our Heavenly Father. This came to me in the middle of this year when your pet was flying singing to your marae, and the great thing in my heart was gratitude to you for your encouragement from the beginning of this year until now. At the beginning of the year I was standing naked and did not know who would provide me with clothes after the departure of the one who clothed me and fed me with the supplejack seeds you sent in the past years. Now I am fine and look well.

A GROUP GOES TO UTAH.

This article appeared in the Hawkes Bay newspapers on May 9th:

‘Six well-known Maori from Tahoraiti left Dannevirke on their way to Salt Lake City, Utah. Those travellers said that they will not be gone long; after they have visited the main Mormon city they will quickly return. But some of their families are anxious and are saying that perhaps they will not return to New Zealand. It is said that it is costing each of them £500 and their lands have been rented out to people for six months.’

THE WONDERFUL TAI RAWHITI HUI.

It is not possible to relate all that happened at this hui but let’s talk about various things. Of all the hui that have been held on Tai Rawhiti it can truly be said that none has been as large as the hui for the opening of Manutuke Church. Besides, the desire and the hope on the part of Tai Rawhiti was that this hui should be more glorious than any other hui they have held. It was right that this should be so because Manutuke was a gift from all Tai Rawhiti, a treasure left to them by their parents and their ancestors who have passed on, and the gathering was a coming together of all the many groups on this whole coast.

This month’s issue of Te Pipi contains only eight pages. The Editor has gone; there is a new Editor but he has not yet taken up his post. We are sad that this has happened to Te Pipi. Perhaps subsequent editions of the bird will appear in the normal form.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA.

Tribes, hapu, communities, who help and feed our bird, greetings. We are very grateful and give heartfelt thanks to you who have staunchly supported our paper from its birth right up to the present. For nearly twenty years the voice of our bird has been heard as it has gone about spreading its message to each marae. We think that this is the longest-running paper amongst us, the Maori People. It appears amongst us now to be a treasured gift. This bird was started in Nelson on the other island, Waipounamu. The first editor was Perere Peneti (Rev. Fred Bennett) who is now superintendent of the work in the Rotorua area.

TYPHOID FEVER.

We are still receiving news of fever in some areas. The news is that Gisborne is still afflicted with fever, and we also hear that at Uawa the meeting house, Ruakapanga, has been turned into a hospital. News is that it is also in the Mahia district and is heading towards Te Wairoa. This is a dreadful sickness, feared by all, Pakeha as well as Maori. The Committee that runs the Hospital in Gisborne has passed a motion that the body of any Maori who dies of fever in the hospital will only be released from the hospital if it is to be taken and buried. The Committee decided on this after receiving the Inspector’s report.

[Hymn 152, Piko nei te matenga]

Great sadness is upon us.

Son of God,

Have pity on us.

2. Our friend has gone,

Departed to the after-life,

Leaving us grieving.

Have pity on us.

GENERAL BOOTH

The Head of the Salvationist Church.

On 21st of this month we were informed that the head of the Salvation Army, General Booth, had died. Booth was a great man. Some say that he was the greatest man in the world for many years. He was 82 when he died. He had been ill for a long time and it was not known whether he was alive or had died. When he regained consciousness he called his son and said, ‘God is faithful in his provision, always faithful, if only a person believes in their heart.’ Having said these words he lay back and entered upon the long sleep.

WIREMU PARAONE TUREI.

In the middle of the night of Tuesday, 25th June, the Rev W Paraone Turei entered upon the long sleep. All thoughtful people are sad and suffer at hearing this bad news. Paraone was a son of the Rev Mohi Turei and Kararaina. He was a well-known elder of the Maori Church throughout New Zealand.

ABOUT MYSELF

‘Kui! Kui! Whitiwhitiora!’ [The cry of the shining cuckoo.]

This edition marks the fourteenth year our pet has been flying to the many marae carrying news. It is an appropriate time to go back and think about how things were before and to point out the kinds of things that need to be done in the times ahead. This treasure of ours has for a long time been going around our marae, therefore it is right that we should assist him to accomplish his work. The people who cared for this treasure have vanished from our sight, therefore it is for us to enthusiastically support what they have bequeathed to us.
