A NOTICE

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.

GRIEVING AND LAMENTATION.

[Hymn 152, Piko nei te matenga]

1. Our heads are bowed,

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.
