<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friends, nothing could be done. For many years Te Pipi has been sent out and many people wanted it to come to them but few of those people thought to send money to sustain it. We here who have been running our paper were losing because we had to pay the expenses of printing and sending out the paper. We have always carried our proverb at the top of the page, ‘As clouds deck the heavens, so feathers enable the bird to fly.’ For many years now Te Pipi has sought to remind us of the meaning of that proverb but very few people thought about it. The result is that our Bird has died. We cannot grieve because we have grieved for a long time. We here who run the paper are very sad but what could we do? It has been pointed out that there was an article pleading for sympathy for Te Pipi in the last edition (180 sic - ?179), but it was already near death. This is very sad but what could be done given our thoughtlessness, our lack of sympathy. Perhaps a shoot will spring up after Te Pipi, perhaps from its lineage. It would be good if this happened. When the Bishop of Waiapu came here he shared his ideas about Te Pipiwharauroa. He said that because the expenses of Te Pipi could not be met it was better to stop it, but to run instead a smaller paper containing information about the Church and news of the world, and that that paper would be specifically a Church paper. This kind of paper would perhaps suit some people while it would not suit others who are not interested in articles about the faith. The Bishop and Archdeacon Herbert Williams have decided on this course and in September the first edition of the new paper will appear. Perhaps we can say that this will be the new shoot springing up after Te Pipi. But why are the stories of the faith unpalatable to some Maori? The answer is obviously that they suffer from soul sickness. Therefore perhaps this is an end to the medicine which cures such sickness. Reading of the faith is better than leaving the soul to die. However it has been made clear that although <b>[2]</b> the new paper will be a Church paper it will not be the case that all the articles it contains will be about the faith, rather there will be mixed together articles about the body and articles about the soul, accounts of the faith and news of the world. This new paper will be supported by the Ministers and the Lay Representatives and the congregations of the Church. My friends, take courage. In this way perhaps we can draw closer to each other in all our work in the Church. In this way perhaps we will hear and learn what these folk are doing and what those folk are doing. Perhaps we will find help by the sharing of our ideas. But the Bishop’s great concern is to have a new paper which will speak to each member of the Church of the important teachings of the Church. People, best wishes. Try out the new paper in the month it appears.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is shocking to hear of the rapid spread and the virulence of this disease throughout the Dominion. According to the Pakeha papers the disease originated with some Maori in the Ngapuhi area. One of those people had not long returned from Sydney and it is thought that he brought the disease from there. It could have been brought by Maori or by Pakeha. It is said that Maori are the people most susceptible to that illness and at present most of those contracting the disease or dying from it are Maori. Perhaps there is something in Maori blood that makes them susceptible to the disease. Maori are not being permitted to travel on the railways or ferries without having received an injection in the shoulder from the doctor and got a certificate saying that they have had the injection. There is a separate hospital for those with this disease. The hospital is in Auckland. The people lying there at present are 10 women and 13 men; of these 13 men, one is a young Pakeha, the rest are Maori. Dr Frengley, the Head Doctor for the Government Department of Health, has arrived there. He confirms that the illness is small-pox but not a very bad form of it. The Prime Minister has said that all parts of the Dominion should take care. Latest news is that an Auckland Pakeha has the disease. A Maori from Kaikohe has gone down with the disease. On 25th July we received news that the school children at the Mormon College at Korongata ha<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">s</span> contracted the illness. It is being said that a child from the Ngapuhi area brought the illness. Dr Barcroft from Hawkes Bay visited the College to do tests and he confirmed that it is undoubtedly smallpox. That child and those who have caught the disease have been segregated and the teachers and some of the other children have been vaccinated. Because of the rapid spread of this disease amongst Maori the Mayor of Gisborne has said that all Maori and Pakeha should be vaccinated. Dr Williams and Dr Wi Repa have been detailed to this work. Friends, be very wary of this disease; it is a disease that does dreadful things to the appearance of people.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Origin of the Smallpox.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The smallpox which has spread to all parts of the Dominion originated in America where it is common in the southern part of America. That was a less serious type of the pox and without spots. It became more serious when it became like the sickness which afflicts some parts of New Zealand – ‘chicken-pox’. This disease was carried to New Zealand from America by a steward on one of the Huddert-Parker ships. On 12th April the Zealandia sailed from Vancouver, America, to Port Jackson. While the ship was sailing the man became ill but he did not take to his bed. When he arrived in Sydney that steward met up with a friend there. This person worked in a clothing factory. In the course of going about together the steward passed on the disease to his friend who in turn passed it on to her friends who worked in the clothing factory. Before long the disease had spread. However it was not at first identified as smallpox because it had no serious effect upon people. In Sydney there have been no deaths so far from the illness although many contracted it. The Government of the Dominion has given orders that Maori are not permitted to travel on trains, buses, cars, ferries and <b>[3]</b> other Pakeha modes of transport out of fear that Maori may carry about that disease and spread it to all parts. It is a sad thing for us Maori as if we were the source of the disease. And secondly, it may be right that the Government prevent Maori from areas where there is the disease from travelling to other areas, but why restrict Maori from those areas where the disease has not occurred and is not known? Many Maori in Gisborne have been upset by this law. When they go into shops or restaurants they are thrown out. The Pakeha is able to use the Government’s law to punish Maori by ejecting them because they have ill-will towards Maori. Thirdly, the Government is quick to make laws for Maori but they are slow at sending smallpox vaccine to immunise Maori so that they can be freed from their restrictions. Fourthly, it is necessary to forbid a person from a place where there is the disease from travelling to other places even though they have been inoculated. Being inoculated does not mean that a person cannot carry that sickness on his travels; rather inoculation prevents a person having a severe attack of the disease and can avert the disease. Many pupils at the Mormon School at Korongata contracted that disease, and we acknowledge that it is right to quarantine the people in some places. The disease did not come from Hawkes Bay but it was brought from Ngapuhi by a child, who went to the Mormon School, who passed it on to others. The news is that the disease has reached Gisborne and is affecting not just Maori but Pakeha as well. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">CRITICAL LETTERS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Three letter protesting at the Government proclamation have appeared in the Gisborne papers. They criticise the Government for stopping Maori travelling on trains, tramcars, motor cars and other forms of transport here in Gisborne. One from Hamiora Hei (Barrister and Solicitor) was sent to the Minister of Maori Affairs but a copy was printed in the Gisborne Herald. Another by Rawiri Karaha was a letter revealing the pain and vexation of Māori sensibilities when he is treated with contempt. The third was signed by ‘Worker’. Te Pipi thinks it was written by James Thorpe, the overseer of the Government workers laying the Gisborne railway line in the Motu area. Maori are in a pitiable situation because of this edict and are not as a result able to speak out because they have been stabbed with a double-ended spear. It is not possible to reproduce everything said in these letters but we can give you the flesh and the fat pieces. The main matters within Hamiora’s letter ask the Minister of Maori Affairs to look at the way the provisions of the Health Department edict have been applied in the Gisborne area. The matters for him to consider are the following:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, there is no reason to ban Gisborne Maori from travelling on Pakeha public transport because not a single Maori has gone down with smallpox. If the edict applied to Maori coming here from other places then one would understand, but why should it apply to those who reside in Gisborne, who live permanently with the Pakeha and travel with them? Also, why does the prohibition apply only to Maori who have not been inoculated and not to Pakeha who have not yet been inoculated? As if it is only Maori who catch that disease and pass it on to others, and not Pakeha! Only the Pakeha are free from this restriction while Maori, one of the peoples most loyal to the King, are not free from this law. This is the most extraordinary thing. But while the Department of Health has sent out its order, why have they not set about sending medicines to the doctor or to the smallpox doctors <b>[4]</b> dealing with Maori? It would be better had they thought of this situation, then there would have been no need for this edict of theirs, there would have been no distress, and there would have been no discussion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Second, Maori children attending the Government schools are suffering greatly. If they are not soon vaccinated they will not be sent to school soon. Perhaps they will be in this situation for a year. The Minister should therefore look into two things:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. The abolition of the order because of the distinction it makes between these two peoples, Pakeha and Maori.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. If not, the Department of Health should send plenty of medicine and send it quickly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The letters of Rawiri Karaha and James Thorpe are similar in the arguments they set down. The main matter is the separation of Pakeha and Maori in the Government proclamation. Rawiri says that the Government order would be right had a Gisborne Maori gone down with that disease. As it is, even though the disease is not in the vicinity, Maori have been gratuitously restricted. Why have the Mormons not been banned as it is said that they brought the disease? Instead the Government have fastened onto [?<i>kurupa</i>] the Maori, a people loyal to the King. For another thing, this disease did not originate with the Maori and neither is there a Maori illness like this. Rather it began with them, the Pakeha. Why have they been fastened on as the source of this restricting disease? Perhaps this is the work of this Government. One thinks back to the leaders of past Governments – George Grey, [?<i>Te Makari</i> - ?The Small One], Ballance and Seddon – all great men, [?<i>he pukutanga no te kaha matauranga.</i>] No-one has excelled them in doing good for Maori. They certainly did not do anything like separating Pakeha and Maori. Such distinctions were insignificant to them and such ideas were kicked out of play by them. Rawiri said that he intended to send a notice to all half-castes whose names were on the electoral roll saying that they should vote for a Government that considered the Maori People. That Government was that of Timi Kara and the others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The main points in James Thorpe’s letter were these: He said that the people of Gisborne had given up looking for ways to improve their town and had instead focussed their thoughts on this matter. He was not making a big issue as to why their thinking had gone astray in this fashion but it would seem to arise from their desire to blacken the Maori. They will not set about improving their harbour, or the pipes that carry the town’s water and sewage, but people are getting panicky over this small thing when not a single little spot has appeared on a Maori person. Such are the things that they have become needlessly concerned about. Sir, when it arrives, inevitably death will follow. Why were Maori only restricted and not the Pakeha? It is true that it was a Maori person who was first struck down by this illness and the people of Gisborne were quick to seize upon it. Certainly, Maori were the source of the smallpox, but to think in this fashion is very wrong because smallpox is not a Maori disease but is one of the diseases associated with the Pakeha and I know very well that the disease was given to Maori by the Mormon Elders. It is the case that Maori are a dirty people and very little soap is used by them in the course of a year. But I ask, are Maori the only dirty people? I have seen some Pakeha who have not seen a wash or had a swim from the beginning of a year to the end; it is only when they are caught in a thunder storm that they are soaked with water. If one was to inspect all the citizens of Gisborne one would find that two out of three would have dirt under their finger nails. I also ask if smallpox has a preference for brown skin over white? In my understanding this is not the case but it rather has something to do with the state of the blood. And if the people of Gisborne think that the disease prefers Maori blood to Pakeha blood this is a very strange way of thinking given that many more people in the very clean town of Sydney have contracted it than Maori in the dirty village of Mangere since the disease hit those two places. Thirty people have been struck down in Mangere and four hundred in Sydney now. I have Maori blood in me and I have visited the places where this disease is endemic. Pakeha people were dying on one side of me and there was I on the other unscratched by the disease. James’s closing words were a lament for his people, for the Maori and his land. He was proud of his Maori people and he loved his land, the land of his birth. Although he lived far from the country his thoughts continually returned to it. For another thing, because he thinks a great deal of his people and his <b>[5]</b> country he talks a great deal about these in India, Africa and America. But nowadays things are different and he has not been able to hold up his head because the Pakeha are seeking to repress the Maori. Thorpe’s closing words were a plea to the people of Gisborne to show their love for the Maori people and to ease the restrictive laws which were badly oppressing the Maori, the Maori of Gisborne.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In his report, Dr Valentine, the Chief Health Officer, says that the number of people contracting smallpox in Auckland is still increasing. There are 49 people in the isolation hospital for the disease of whom 39 are Maori and 10, Pakeha. Dr Te Rangihiroa sent this telegram to him from Kaikohe. 'I have inspected all the houses in the village of Otaua and am visiting the forest villages. I have found 57 people with smallpox who, together with those seen by Dr Cawkwell make a total of 69. In a single house I found five who were suffering with the disease; three had died. The disease is most devastating amongst the elderly. I have inoculated all the people in the village. Those who have been vaccinated have not yet contracted the disease. From the onset of the disease until now ten people, all Maori, have died.'</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blessings upon you from those who bless you. Please publish these words of admiration for the article by Teri Te Heihei (Pipi 179). About this canoe, Matatua: I thought that this canoe came from Hawaiki. I see in Teri’s account that Matatua was Puhimoanariki’s canoe. I was surprised. Puhimoanariki was from Aotearoa here. Perhaps Matatua was from Hawaiki (surely). From Kupe to Nukutawhiti is six generations; from Nukutawhiti to Puhimoanariki is 19 generations; from Puhi-a-te-Hauangi come Rahiri and the others. These were born at Hokianga. So much for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I agree with three parts of Teri’s account:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) Yes, and one should add to that statement that Ngapuhi relates to the plumes of the canoe. I know Ngapuhi. Puhimoanariki is my Ngapuhi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(2) Yes, but Teri does not say whose canoe it was that returned to Hawaiki and so gave the name to Hokianga. Whose return?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(3) Ngapuhi, Te Rarawa and Te Aupouri are one people. That is true. But, Teri, they are not one in your account that you have set down about Matatua. Your canoe is yours only, so how can they be one? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes, they can in this way: Kupe is the man and Ngatoki Matawhaorua is the canoe that sailed from Hawaiki and landed at Hokianga. Kupe visited some parts of this island. Guided by the signs, Kupe returned to Hawaiki on his canoe, Matawhaorua. Hokianga was named from the return of Kupe to Hawaiki. When Kupe arrived there was a great battle in Hawaiki: the name of the battle was Moremoretakiki. Nukutawhiti asked Kupe to tell him the story of his travels. Kupe said, ‘I have discovered a noble land. I landed my canoe on the western side, on the side of the setting sun; that was at Hokianga.’ Nukutawhiti said, ‘Give me the canoe so that I may trace your path and see if I can find it.’ Kupe said, ‘You will find it. I will tell you the positions of the stars in the evening, at midnight and before dawn.’ Two canoes set out from Hawaiki – Ngatoki Matawhaorua with Nukutawhiti as chief, and Mamari with Te Parata as chief. Matawhaorua was a sacred canoe so no food could be loaded on board and Mamari had to carry the sustenance for the people of Matawhaorua and the seeds. The awesome beings that led these canoes across the Pacific Ocean were Niua and Araiteuru, the pets of Nukutawhiti. Those awesome beings are the spiritual powers of these tribes and still live at the Hokianga estuary. Araiteuru is at the south and Niua is to the north of the estuary and Matawhaorua still lies at Niua. The mooring rope of Mamari snapped and it floated away and was wrecked at Ripiro. That’s that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The descendants of Nukutawhiti multiplied at Hokianga; the land was too crowded for them. Te Rarawa and Te Aupouri migrated to the north of Hokianga but most of the people settled at Hokianga. Kaharau, son of Rahiri, made a kite of paper mulberry to seek out land for his descendants. The kite was called Tuoronuku. Kaharau went to the top of Whiria, Rahiri’s pa, with his kite and summoned wind for his bird. ‘Great wind, long wind, violent wind, rush along with the [?<i>tupe</i>] below. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Young godwit</span>, give me a wind. I have a wind.’ Tuoronuku was flown. ‘My bird flies glancing from side to side, looking rapaciously; my bird flies, my bird soars, beyond<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[</span></span><i>te hahawai</i>]<i> </i><b>[6]</b><i> </i>while Canopus makes Antares go down, and the cloud is in place.' It was released and subsequently it came down. Tuoronuku was found and Taiamai was taken by Ngapuhi. That’s enough for now.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first mission was held at Tamaki from 10th May to 16th. There are three Maori pa in this district, Tahoraiti, Makirikiri and Kaitoki.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because it was not possible to hold a mission in each pa, the mission took place in Dannevirke, the town between these villages. Holding a mission to Maori in a Pakeha town was a new thing. But many Maori live in the town and this was another reason why it was right to hold the mission there. The people were very keen to support the mission despite the rain and cold and wind and made great efforts to gather at the appointed times of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. The meeting place was the Sunday School Hall of the Pakeha Church at Tamaki. The Director of the Mission was the Rev Peneti of Rotorua. His associates were the Rev A F Williams, the overseer of the area, the Rev Manaro, Minister of the parish, Hera Manaro, and Te Wheoro Poni, Lay Reader of Rotorua. Because people were determined to return to the legacy of the parents and ancestors they did not let the storms and the cold prevent them from attending the meetings. One deeply moving thing was the decision of Ihaka Rautahi to support the mission and to bring his children and grandchildren, indeed his whole family, to the faith. He is one of the remaining living elders of Ngatimutuahi and Ngatipakapaka, an elder in the faith from of old. He is a lay reader. His village is some distance from the town and because he is so ill he has been confined to bed. However, because he so wanted his family to support the Mission he came to town to rest so that he would provide an example to encourage his children. The spirit of the elders achieved great things in their day. This is the spirit that the present generation needs if there is to be a resurgence of the character, the mana, the awesomeness and the holiness of the Maori People. So there was this man with a great love for Christianity. He was a descendant of the chiefs of those hapu, a man whose forebears are known in every place. At the time of the Mission he was lying seriously ill. But despite his bodily weakness he was determined when he urged his children to be part of the work of the Mission. The thoughtful spirit of the elders will not be lost amongst their descendants.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the light of the preaching and the instruction there were visible fruits. Those who stood before many people to affirm that Christ was their Saviour numbered 28. Those who sought confirmation by the Bishop numbered 23. Nineteen took the pledge to give up drinking liquor. Twelve mothers joined the Mothers’ Union. At the service of praise the amount contributed towards the building of a church for themselves was £317-12-0, and the site on which it is to be erected was also given at this service. There was great praise to God for this spirit of empowerment and improvement amongst his children of that part of his vineyard. May God bless them.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the Saturday morning we got on the train and travelled to Waipukurau. There the car arranged by Taketake Tipene Matua was waiting for us. In the evening we arrived at Porangahau. We shed tears together, ate, had a service, and then there were speeches. Peneti explained the meaning of this thing, the Mission, as being sending people to a place to impart some information in that place. This is the origin of the name ‘Missionary’ – people who come at the command of Christ to proclaim the Kingdom of God to the whole world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, 17th May, there were services at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the church and at 7 p.m. in the Meeting House, Poho o Kahungunu. Five children were baptised at the morning service at 11 o’clock. All the missi0n services each day of the week from Monday to Friday were held in the Meeting House. The ‘remnant’ of Porangahau gave us a very warm welcome. It was a moving thing to stay amongst the generation of young people of Tipene Matua, a remnant of the elders of this district. Although he suffered from bodily weakness because of his illness he was whole-hearted in his support and in helping with all the arrangements of the Mission. Although there are divisions among followers of the faith in <b>[7]</b> Porangahau, the remnant were all united in supporting and helping. Those who stood to acknowledge Christ as their Saviour and wished to be confirmed by the Bishop numbered 20; those wishing to be lay readers numbered 3. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We express out great gratitude and love to Ahitana Nopera and his wife, Hirani Ropiha Nopera, and their family for the enthusiasm with which they organised their village and the work, and for coming to Porangahau to help with the Mission and all the associated work. But at the same time it is the case that this was what their parents did before them. The collection taken at the service of thanksgiving was donated to the work of the faith amongst Tuhoe.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the morning of Monday, May 26th, we returned from Porangahau. Again Taketake Tipene provided our vehicle. We got on the train at Waipukurau and travelled to Te Aute. On Saturday, May 31st, we went to Waimarama. We arrived in the evening and after the weeping together, the speeches, the food and the service, Peneti explained about the Mission. The remaining elders of this settlement are Mohi Te Atahikoia, Tame Orihau, Turei and Timoti. Only Mohi and Te Orihau were able to get to the village. Because of sickness or business in other places some of them were missing. The Sunday services were held in the church and the Mission during the week was held in the Meeting House, Taupunga. The remnant was very supportive of the activities and the organisation. There were two meetings a day, as in the other places, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Through the clear preaching and instruction people’s thoughts returned to appreciate the power and the holiness of the faith in the days of the elders and they expressed their sorrow and their love. The remnant readily welcomed and embraced the teachings and the practices of the faith. May God strengthen and keep them faithful. One thing that touched our hearts was the important insight of a woman, Tangiora Mohi. A person travelling on something suitable will not want to abandon it. If he travels in a buggy he will not want to leave that buggy and travel in a cart, and the person who travels in his car will not leave his car to travel by buggy. But according to this woman she is prepared to abandon her car for us; she will travel on the brake-car under protest. To each his own vehicle, but no, her conviction is greater than her desire to improve her own means of transportation. There was much praise for what we were doing. One objective which emerged from this Mission was the setting up of a paper which would appear monthly and which would tell of the work of the faith, which would explain the Church teachings and which would answer criticisms of the Church by other groups. That was an important proposal which will be raised when we meet with the Bishop. Those here who stood to commit themselves to Christ as Saviour numbered 44; and those seeking confirmation by the Bishop were 16.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We praise God for his blessing on the people and the work. May God uphold and strengthen them in the face of the enemy and the tempter.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This Mission was arranged for Omahu but the chiefs of the marae decided that it should be shifted to Kohupatiki this time and be held at Omahu another time. We arrived there on the Saturday morning. The Bishop was there having arrived from Napier for the opening of the hall which has at last been finished to serve as a meeting house and a church. At midday the Bishop opened it with some words in his address: ‘We declare open this building and will enter in. May each person similarly open the door of their heart in the course of this Mission that the King of Glory, the Spirit of God, may enter in and dwell in the hearts of each one.’ The Mission began on the Saturday evening and concluded on the Thursday night. The remnant were keen to welcome and to take up the words of explanation. One cause for thankfulness here was the resolve and the whole-heartedness with which some folk pledged to give up drinking intoxicating liquors. This is something that can enslave a person, but an enlightened person can give it up; hence our thankfulness for the resolve of some who have abandoned it. May God strengthen them. Those who stood to affirm that Christ was their Saviour numbered 28. Two people volunteered for the office of lay reader. On this occasion the decision was made to relocate the residence of the minister of the parish to Waipatu. It was explained that the children of Mr Williams had agreed to give the house now standing at Te Hauke to be a clergy house. Taranaki Te Uwamairangi (sic) stood and said that he and his family would give £50 to pay for the wagons and horses to move the house. Paraire Tomoana stood with an offer of £50. Rangi Kerehoma pledged £30 and Warihia, £29. These offers were for the transporting of the house. <b>[8]</b> The descendants of those who had passed on were keen to support their parents’ works. Be strong. May God protect you.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, May 15th the Mission began in Pakipaki. All the services were in the church. On the Sunday there were three mission services at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Many people gathered. The people were very keen to hear the preaching and the instruction. Every night it was the same; people gathered to show respect and to support the activities. During the weekdays the times of the meetings were: Morning Prayer at 7 a.m.; Bible Exposition and Prayer Meeting at 3 p.m.; Prayer Meeting for those who were free at 6.30 p.m.; and Mission Service at 7 p.m. Everything that was said by the preacher was very good and brought life and enlightenment to strengthen people’s faith. The Mission bore much fruit with 34 people standing to affirm their faith in Christ as Saviour. Many swore to give up drinking intoxicating liquors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the last village where a Mission was held at this time; another time it will be at other villages.

We offer thanksgiving and praise to God for these many blessings he has poured out on his servants.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Bishop of Auckland [Lloyd Crossley] has resigned. The Bishop is lying ill in Sydney. His doctors have said that he is not to do any work, however small, for a year. Only by doing so will he recover. The cause of his illness was overwork – mental work and that of travelling within his Diocese. As a result of the heavy demands of that work both his mind and body are exhausted. This is a cause of great sadness for the Diocese of Auckland because the good qualities of this man have been widely appreciated. We published in the last edition of Te Pipi the Bishop’s speech at the meeting of his Synod shortly before he left for Port Jackson. This Bish0p of Auckland has resigned not long after [Moore] Neligan resigned. Auckland is a very large Diocese and the work is demanding. The Bishop of that place should be a young man, a very fit man, a New Zealander, and someone who is familiar with the ways of this country.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A person’s faith can be measured by their observance of the Lord’s Day. This day is also a sign of the time to come when the people of God will dwell in the home which our Lord has gone to prepare. We read in the writings of John: ‘I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day’, and he saw things that were soon to happen – the victory of the Lord over his enemies, and he saw the Holy City and the nations of this world and their kings entering in, bringing their glory as an offering to the Father.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In this world we bear the likeness of earthly things, therefore God has arranged that we work for six days for the things the body needs, but he has set apart the first day and said, ‘Keep holy the Sabbath Day’, and Jesus Christ also said, ‘The Sabbath was made for man,’ and so people must hold on to the Sabbath.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How should we observe the sacredness of the Lord’s Day? First, this must not be a lazy day. Rather we should rise early and spend a long time thinking about the words of God and also fervently pray that the significance of these wonderful gifts be made clear to us and that we truly participate in the glory that is revealed in them and that our desires may be directed to these things – and that we do this with our friends – that our words are few, that we realize that we think differently from some others – and also set our friends free to think of these things and free from having to do things to sustain the body – we should first think of reducing this kind of work and eat with restraint the food that has first been laid out – the saying is: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Ki te kii te kopu e tangere ana te Wairua.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If the stomach is full the Spirit is only half-full.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the most important activities on this day is the gathering of people to worship together the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. ‘He who worships me and honours me, if he walks in the way of righteousness, I will show him the path of life.’ There is perhaps something greater than this in that when it comes to honouring God the person is very mistaken if they are ignorant of this, they are blind and do not recognise that this is what the angels do, and it also what the people do upon whom the face of God has shone, and also our knowledge increases as we learn the prayers. This is a truly honourable work that has been given to people to do. It is particularly on the Lord’s Day that a person seeks out the works of God, things done in the past and things being done in these days in the wild places of the earth, and it is by so doing that we discover that God is still walking with us and that he is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, who does such works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not devote yourselves to sports which distract the thoughts from the holy things of this day – much fruit comes from hours spent in thoughts directed to the Father God, to seeking the things of the Kingdom of God and his holy things, and the things your body needs will be added.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If a person has no delight in the holy things of this day, will he have a taste for living in heaven, the place where the hearts of angels are occupied in doing what God wills?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On June 24th the Supreme Court sat here in Gisborne. One of the cases dealt with was the charge by Wi Paraire, Minister of the Parish of Nukutaurua, against Meretini Huka, a woman from Nuhaka, for slanderous allegations that Wi Paraire was the father of the child of a Nuhaka girl called Wai Nepia. This case was quickly dealt with when Meretini withdrew her allegations and expressed her regret for the words she had spoken. When Judge Cooper decided that Meretini was causing trouble he instructed Meretini and her lawyers to withdraw that case so that it would not come before the jury for a decision. This is the declaration the Judge required Meretini to make: ‘I deeply regret putting about this story and now I know, having heard the explanations, that everything I said was wrong. I declare that I am sorry for having spread about those stories. Secondly, I know for certain that Wi Paraire is not the father of Wai Nepia’s child.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Judge Cooper said that he was very gratified by the outcome of this matter. He was very happy that Wi Paraire had emerged from this trouble cleared of any stain upon his person or on his calling as a minister. He was right to bring this matter before the Supreme Court because it has brought an end to this trouble and restored to him his good name.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Japanese in America, particularly those in California, are being very badly treated. The Government there has passed a law to expel the Japanese and to confiscate their lands. It is thought that this might provoke a large-scale conflict between the Americans and the Japanese over the matter. It is remarkable how many Japanese have settled in America, particularly in the area named above. They were simply labourers in the beginning but soon they had bought land and also the leases of some people and now they own most of the land. Formerly there were few Japanese in that land and many Americans but now things have turned around so that there are many more Japanese and few Americans. One sees from this the astuteness and the wisdom of the Japanese. But it is said that the main reasons why this people is despised by the Americans are the dirtiness of their bodies and their customary ways. It is not long before a good person’s heart is poisoned after coming amongst that people. For another thing, they are a godless people; their gods are their native deities, and so they have no sense of awe or anything. It is said that now that an American will not associate with them or travel into the Japanese area by train, tram or other Pakeha transport. This is a great grievance and there is no guarantee that a major conflict may not erupt there.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Prince of Wales is studying at one of the large colleges in England, Oxford University. Although the Prince thinks of himself as grown up so that he can do what he wants, his mother thinks differently and sees herself as responsible for guiding him in what he does. Now a telegram has been sent by the Queen telling him to withdraw from a club known as the ‘Bullingdon Club’. This club is a club for men being educated at Oxford, all the members are chosen, and it is one of the leading clubs in that school. When the Prince arrived there he immediately joined that club. His joining was not without difficulty because his parents did not approve. However, he joined. Recently the club had an evening of entertainment. Drinking alcohol was one of their activities. The Prince was urged by his friends to drink but he did not drink much. It was not long before the Queen heard what had gone on. The Queen’s views were not open to discussion. As soon as she heard about it she wired her son telling him to resign from that club and leave it. Queen Mary does not approve of her son drinking intoxicating liquors. There can be no more beautiful example than this for the mothers of the Maori People to follow.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A French ship, the Senegal, was wrecked in Asia Minor. [21/5/1913] It struck something floating beneath the surface of the sea. It had been laid there to destroy ships in time of war. The Senegal happened to strike that mine and there was a loud explosion. It was two hundred yards from the shore when it struck it. There were 120 people on board the ship. One whole side of the ship was gashed. When the captain realised that the vessel could not be saved he used all the power of the ship to run it aground. All the passengers were saved; three sailors died.</span></span></div>

The Nevada was leaving the wharf when it saw another ship sailing in. Afraid of a collision, it changed its course and sailed out a little. It had not gone far when it struck another of those mines. The Nevada struck three mines not far from where the Senegal had struck one. There were 200 people on board of whom 40 died.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings to those who have provided food for me. Many people have shown their love for me this year and that is the reason for these words of gratitude – thanks to my helpers who have shown their love for me. There are those who have not remembered me, and this is a reminder to them not to forget me. There are some who want me to stop flying to them, but I say to them, ‘My friends, who think in this way you are bringing me down to earth.’ Remember your pet. Although I have faults and do not carry stories that please you or entertain you, nevertheless, put these aside and keep on remembering your pet. I also salute those who continue to remember me despite these things I’ve said above. The most important thing your pet wants at all times is to bring tasty food to you, and that my words are truthful, and that I bring good accounts of the news, and if I do this you will support me more and more. I am trying out things, and looking for ways of writing and ways of doing things that will fulfil your hopes and expectations of your pet. Do not turn away from me. It is not as if I am about to take to my bed, or have used up all my energy and will perhaps not be seen again, or will not have any descendants after me, that you should turn your thoughts from me. My work is difficult and involves flying to these districts and carrying a very heavy load. You, and those who clothe me here and who arrange my loads, give me the strength to do my work and to carry my loads. It is no good if only a few people support me while most give no thought to my continual flying to them. It is only you who look at my articles who think about me. I am very aware that you are happy with my articles. Don’t mistakenly think that I speak in anger; no, I am just explaining things. It is good that you know about my problems, the serious burdens which affect even my strong parts, if indeed I have strong parts. When you see now my weaknesses then you will turn to strengthen what is weak, to ease my burdens, and to further build up those areas in which I am strong. You must not mistakenly think, if at some time I carry little or unpalatable food in your estimation, <b>[2]</b> that I am lazy or listless. I am not like that. I am still keen to work but I work under difficulties and amid the many problems which afflict your pet. As my closing words to you, I urge you to send me items about your areas. That would perhaps ease one part of my work; and when you send items do not send those that are not of general interest. The difficult thing is finding articles that touch everyone and are of interest to all. My wish is that all parts send food for me to carry and that will ensure that you await hopefully my every arrival. If the fruits in the loads I bring you are not sweet then they will not be palatable to you. It is you who give me strength for my work, it is you who set me right, that is, it is your strong support that gives me strength, and if you are weak then your pet is weak. So then, let us assemble afresh an image for ourselves: I await your strength to strengthen me, and I will devote all my strength to fulfilling all you require of me. Greetings to you all in the mercies of the Creator. Enough! From your pet,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have received news that Mr Thornton, Principal of Te Aute, is ill and that his doctors think that he has not long to live. His illness is in the blood and he has become increasingly weak. We are greatly distressed by this and I know that all parts of the country will be distressed and sad when they hear this bad news. Mr Thornton retired from teaching at Te Aute last year and a new Principal has taken his position. When he left Te Aute he moved to Havelock near Hastings to live and it is there that he is lying ill now. The man he wanted to see was Mr Chatterton, the Principal of Te Rau College. He said that Mr Chatterton was the right man to hear his last thoughts. During the last days of May his telegram arrived; his daughter had sent it asking Mr Chatterton to go to him. Mr Chatterton was unable to go at that time because the Bishop of Auckland had asked him to go and help with some work he wanted done in that diocese. However when Mr Chatterton’s work was completed in Auckland he immediately took the train from Auckland to Napier. When Mr Chatterton arrived in Napier he went to see him. Mr Thornton’s words to Mr Chatterton were distressing and pitiful. What really distressed him as he shared his thoughts with Mr Chatterton was the premature end to his teaching at Te Aute. When his work ended he sat there with nothing to do, and he is a man who knew nothing about this thing, doing nothing, being lazy. But perhaps he will find the remedy for that situation although he fears he has become very old. But being separated from his work is causing him much distress. The greater part of his life has been spent at Te Aute. How many years he has lived there, and it is heart-breaking to be separated from the place which was his home and from the work that his heart had reserved for him, a work he loved. These thoughts kept continually returning to him, and at all times they returned to afflict him. When he had finished saying these things, he told Mr Chatterton that he knew that the time was drawing hear when he would depart from this world. That was a very good thing in his eyes; he had no fear at all of going. Better to go soon than to stay in this world doing nothing and being unfruitful. He has fought his fight, he has done the work assigned to him, therefore he rejoiced that his body was moving on and that the time was drawing near when he would depart into the hands of the Creator. This being said, he began to question Mr Chatterton about his former pupils, those at Te Rau College and others. He does not forget his boys. They all occupy a large part of his thoughts. Because they occupy such a large place in his thoughts, the important message he gave Mr Chatterton for him to pass on to his pupils was the saying of John in his Third Epistle General, verse three: ‘I have no greater joy than this, to have seen that some of my children are walking in the truth and are fulfilling the law given to them by the Father.’ His last word <b>[3]</b> before Mr Chatterton left concerned the Maori People: the Maori are a people who will never be absent from his heart and it is full of sadness because he will soon be parted from them. He devoted all his strength to seeking to grow the Maori People into a noble people. Here he said to Mr Chatterton: ‘Go to the People and tell them that they are always in my thoughts, and death will soon part me from them.’ One of the things that he deeply regretted was his failure to learn the Maori language. However, he said, the opportunity was not there because of the burden of work and the amount of it. That is the reason. There was no free time to set about learning the Maori language. When he had finished speaking, Mr Chatterton asked if he would like him to sing to him. He said that that would give him great joy of heart. Mr Chatterton went to the piano and sang for him three hymns, (1) <i>Au e Ihu, tirohia</i> [Jesu, lover of my soul], (2) <i>E te reme a te Atua tenei au te haere atu nei</i> [O Lamb of God, I come], (3) <i>Kia tata mai hei au koe noho ai</i> [Abide with me]. He wanted Mr Chatterton to go on singing to him for ever, but that was not possible because the time had come for Mr Chatterton to go. After the singing he called Mr Chatterton to his side. Once there he put his arm around Mr Chatterton’s neck and they embraced and saluted each other. After the embrace, Mr Chatterton left. Sir, lie at rest and leave us, as a memory of you, the following prayer:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This story is about a man called John [?<i>Eke</i>}. He is an inspector on the main railway line between London and Birmingham. The train is the famous Manchester Express. John [?<i>Eke</i>’s] main task is to inspect this train before every journey to ascertain that everything is alright with all its parts lest some part develops a fault ant there is a problem on the way. The distance between Birmingham and London is perhaps a little over 100 miles. In the case of the Manchester Express it does not stop at a single station; rather it keeps steadily on course from London to Birmingham. One day John [?<i>Eke</i>] ws going about his work while the train was stationary and ready to go. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the train would leave from the place known as King’s Cross. It would arrive in Birmingham at 4 o’clock after a two hour journey. While John [?<i>Eke</i>] was doing his work he noticed that something was amiss under one of the carriages. In his great concern to do his job well and to ensure that nothing bad happened to the train he did not think about the train’s departure time. He felt the train moving but did not realise that the train was actually beginning its journey; he knew that the train always did this before it set out. While he was working under the train his feet were resting on some steel girders under the train and his hands held the brake. When he looked he saw rather that the train had left the station and had picked up speed. Then he knew that the train had left. He was not able to drop down because it was dark. We have to appreciate that the train was going at 53 miles an hour; second, that it would not stop for 100 miles; and third, that it was kicking up gravel and dust. These were the things John [?<i>Eke</i>] had to contend with. One sees from this his bravery, his strength and his clarity of thought. He knew that his life depended on his holding on to the brake and on his legs resting on the steel girders under the carriage. However, although his mind was clear, he thought that because the train was going at nearly 70 miles per hour he was using up his strength and he felt that his knees were getting weak, and that he might suddenly drop. But his spirit sustained him <b>[4]</b> and he told himself to be strong. He knew that the worst time would be when they drew near to Birmingham. There the train would speed up and travel at 77 miles an hour. At that speed he would suffer from the dust and the stones. He became gloomy as he thought of these things. But he told himself to be strong, to be stout-hearted, and indeed, his spirit sustained him and he arrived safely at Birmingham because of his courage. One thinks of a sleeping man who thinks that he is falling from a perpendicular, high cliff. While that man is falling he is awaiting the moment when his body will be crushed on landing at the bottom, but as he nears the bottom of the cliff he wakes up and is surprised to find himself still lying in his bed – his fall was a dream. John [?Eke] says that that was what it was like when the train arrived at Birmingham. It was as if he was dreaming when he was clinging underneath the train; it was as if he was asleep as he clung to the travelling train and that he woke up safe at Birmingham. When King George heard the story he summoned John [?<i>Eke</i>] to come and see him. When John arrived the King shook his hand and congratulated him on his bravery. He told the King the whole story of his clinging beneath the carriage on its journey. John [?<i>Eke</i>] continues to work at his job and is highly respected by the people of his town.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Please publish this article containing my thoughts about the Maori People. I have thought that, in the case of the Maori People now, it is right that they should take responsibility for themselves, whatever the Pakeha says, when most of the elders have passed on and we are the new group; and if we don’t do anything we will not be renewed even though we retain ornamentations among the tribes, though such things will soon pass away. As far as the Maori of today is concerned there is no reason why they should suffer the problems that afflict them and which impoverish a person. It is not a question of who inflicts the wrong; it is his fault only that he holds on to it and that he has been afflicted. It is not an inconsiderable thing when a person achieves what is right but it can be done by work and by searching, though no-one can read everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A major problem for Maori is that they have been given a bad name, and it is right that we, the new group, give thought to how to remedy this and that we come up with some ideas for the people to consider. We continually hear the Pakeha criticizing us for our weakness and our ignorance, as when Maori are working with some Pakeha or are working with another Pakeha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What about the case where the Maori has more education than those Pakeha, and because the superiority of the learning of that Maori shines out? And because he does satisfactorily the work the boss sets him to do, eventually the boss sees that that Maori is a good man and makes him the boss over all that Pakeha’s workers. That Maori has got what he deserved by his work and it also encourages him. Let us also look at some jobs where the workers are only Maori and the boss is Pakeha. What happens then? Because Maori have a bad name, although it is others who have done wrong<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> all are ‘tarred with the same brush’. Because they are easy-going, and thoughtless, and compliant to the Pakeha as well as because of the Pakeha’s language, the Maori just agree and do not argue for what they think is right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is only one way for a person and that is the way of fairness; and if anyone argues with you keep on seeking what is right for you and don’t listen to anyone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For this reason I hold that Maori and Pakeha should be separate in all matters. It is right for Maori today to take responsibility for themselves. What has the Pakeha for us? What the Pakeha wants is the land of the Maori. When the part of the canoe that emerges is the prow be firm not soft, find a handhold and haul the canoe. A good name is a great treasure and by this also we will shine in our work; the district where we shine is the place where we will be gathered.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE CHINESE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the most remarkable things these days is the rebirth of China, its awakening from its long sleep of the past thousand years. During that long time it was like standing water without a spring, or without a way for the water to get out. We know that water like that is no good at all: in the absence of a flowing spring to refresh it, or in the absence of a way for the water to escape, the filth and the contamination stay in it. Such water can appear to be continually getting worse and worse. This was what China was like during the past thousand years. They were a people who kept their thoughts to themselves in the belief that they were the greatest power in the world and that there were no other great powers on the face of the earth. This idea governed all their thinking: the important thing for them was to despise all other powers; therefore during the thousand years it looked inwards upon itself and did not look outside or anywhere. It did not share ideas with outside powers; they were like the pool with no spring within it and no way of the water flowing out. Its ideas did not reach the outside and there was no way for the thoughts of other peoples to get inside. This was what China was like during the innumerable years gone by: they thought that they were advancing, but no, they were rather descending into stagnation. Perhaps the thing that sustained this nation was their deep-seated industriousness. Now at last this power has been born anew, it has been shaken out of its long sleep. At last it has raised its head and is directing its gaze outwards. At last there is a way open for it to share its ideas with the world outside, and at last it is welcoming ideas from outside. China has now seen that its well-being depends on sharing ideas, and it is abandoning some of the things that have bound it over the past thousand years and have prevented its development and have scuppered its activities and all aspects of its life. At last China is rising up in the way envisaged by our Maori proverb, ‘The old net is heaped up; the new net goes fishing.’ They have left behind the old net and have laid hold of a new net now. China has seen the light and tomorrow it will stand up as one of the awesome powers of the earth. During the thousand years we have already mentioned China was a dictatorship, the people had no voice. This situation was satisfactory while the people were ignorant but when the light entered it was not good. Secondly, that situation was satisfactory when their ancestors’ ideas were fixed in their hearts, when they held to the traditional Chinese ways. However in a time when education was available to strengthen people it was no longer appropriate for a single man to rule this great land, this extraordinary people. The main problem China has is ignorance. They lived in ignorance over these thousands of years. Now the light has shone in China and they now have the same kinds of government as other nations, those nations that have parliaments. They have seen that it is better that the people govern themselves, and they have brought an end to the practice of one man government, that is, government by a king, and they have settled for government by Parliament. Not long after their awakening from sleep they set up their new Parliament. It is a remarkable happening and all the wise people of the world are amazed at it. The Lower House has 596 members. The legislative assembly has 274 members. From within these groups, 500 members of the Lower House and 177 members of the Upper House gather together to elect one of their number to be their President. The building in which they meet is patterned on the meeting place of Parliament in Washington, America. News is that there is no more beautiful building than the Chinese Parliament. The members of Parliament are from all parts of China. The Parliament meets in Peking, the largest city in China. The day of the opening of Parliament was a great day of celebration.</span></div>

At 9 o’clock he went missing. A search was made during the night but he was not found. During a second day of searching he was found. [6] Many people looked for him but when he was found it was too late. The policeman looked to see where he had been wounded and he had been shot in the heart area. Everyone was scared and could not sleep that night. He was buried on the third day. He had shot himself. This Pakeha was a heavy drinker. His Pakeha name was W Parks. My Pakeha friend and I made the coffin and I buried him. This was a terrible thing for this Pakeha to do, this suicide. Therefore, friends, be warned by this example to drink little.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A DISTRESSING STORY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A woman and her daughter occupied themselves in travelling to distant lands. Their purpose was simply to see other lands. The woman and her daughter were English. When they left England they stayed in the Turkish town of Constantinople. While they were there they heard that the Paris Exhibition was soon to take place. Paris is the capital city of France, and so the exhibition was not far away. As they had spent a long time in the country and the time was near when they were to return to England, they thought it would be a good idea to go by way of France and to see that exhibition. So they left and arrived in Parish. When they arrived the vehicle came to take them to their hotel where they were to stay. Their luggage included two steel trunks. One was a large trunk containing clothes, which the woman always carried on all her journeys. The driver loaded those things into the vehicle and the two of them got in. The large clothes trunk was placed by the driver on top of the steel trunks, in the middle. However, while they were going along the driver thought that it would be better to put that trunk under his feet lest it fall, so he took it and placed it between his feet. Before long they arrived at the place where they were to stay. After they arrived they signed their names in the register book of names of those staying in that hotel. When they had signed their names they requested that their rooms be close together. The manager of the hotel said that that would not be possible because no adjacent rooms were free. And so the mother was escorted to a room on the third floor and the daughter to one on the fourth floor immediately above her mother. Before they went the child said to her mother that she would come down later. The child went and on arriving at her room went to sleep exhausted and weary. Perhaps three hours later at twelve o’clock at night the girl went down to see her mother and to wish her well before going to sleep. She went into the room thinking that it was her mother’s room; it was on the third floor and was number 49. However, when she went in she saw that it was a completely different room and as she looked around she saw no-one. She thought that perhaps she had made a mistake and called one of the servants. As it happened the servant knew the terrible thing that had happened to the mother of this woman, but when she entered the room she appeared to be surprised as if she did not know. The woman’s mother shortly after they had parted had fallen ill with bubonic plague which she had contracted in Constantinople. When the woman began to feel ill, despite her weakness she was able to reach the electric bell in her room. Before long one of the servants arrived. When the servant arrived and saw the state of the woman she went quickly to the hotel manager. By the time the hotel manager came, the state of the woman had deteriorated. He telephoned a doctor to come. Two Government doctors came. By the time they arrived the woman had died. On investigation they saw that the illness was bubonic plague. When they saw that it was bubonic plague they said to the hotel manager not to mention this tragedy to anyone but to cover it up completely. Their reason was that if it were known that that illness had arrived there, people would panic and the Exhibition would suffer. The police and the government officials agreed to say that no such woman had arrived at that hotel. After she died her body was taken and buried. When the servant came the woman’s daughter asked to be shown her mother’s room; she thought another room must be the right one. The servant said to her, ‘I only know you. I don’t know of a woman coming with you.’ <b>[7]</b> The woman was distressed and sent the servant to fetch to hotel manager. When that Pakeha arrived he said to the woman that she must be deluded. Not a single friend came with her – only her. There was a woman there but it was a different woman. Then the woman said that she knew very well that she had come with her mother, and the porter who had brought their trunks knew that as be had carried their things. The man was summoned and arrived. When he was questioned he said that he only knew that woman and she had no companion. At this point the woman’s heart began to throb; she knew that something dreadful had happened to her mother. One person remained, the driver who brought her and her mother to that hotel. The river was fetched and arrived. When he was asked he said that he only recognised the woman and she had no companions. Then the woman asked the driver if he did not remember reaching for her mother’s bag and placing it below his feet. The driver answered, no. At this point the woman fainted from the physical shock. As we have said, the woman’s mother had died, had been taken away, and buried. Because of the special nature of her sickness and death the police conspired with some government officials that the matter should not be made public. The register book with the names was burned to obliterate the women’s signatures, and the driver, the servant and the porter were all paid not to speak of the thing. The woman’s daughter returned sadly alone to England. A year and a half later the servant revealed to the woman the truth and told her about her mother’s death, in case you should think that like the servant I have made up the story I have told you. At last the woman knew about the circumstances of her mother’s disappearance. One cannot tell the extent of the distress she felt and her grief at this terrible thing that happened to her and to her mother.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. May the Heavenly Father bless and strengthen you. Please give the following words to our Bird to carry. They are my explanation of matters to do with the Matatua canoe <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">except for the hauling songs used</span> on that canoe. I belong to Ngapuhi; that canoe, Matatua, is my canoe; and the hull of that canoe was left in the Takou River. This Takou is between the Bay of Islands and Whangaroa, and the place where it lay was called Matatua. That is what it is known as to this day. Matatua’s anchor lies at the estuary of Takou; it is called Kohakoha. That has remained its name right up to the present. Nearby on the shore is the northern headland which is called Tapiurau. The chiefs whose canoe this was were Puhimoanariki and Puhitaniwharau. So the Ngapuhi tribe gets its name from Puhimoanariki. It is a fabrication on the part of some mistaken people that a Puhi-o-Ngapuhi came from the Arawa canoe. Hey! That false statement about Ngapuhi should be withdrawn. Matatua landed at Hokianga before it arrived at Takou. Puhitaniwharau wanted to stay at Hokianga but Puhimoanariki did not agree. They sailed on and arrived at Takou. Puhitaniwharau still wanted to go to Hokianga and eventually he went there. He took with him the bailer from Matatua but it did not reach Hokianga; it was left in the country between the Bay of Islands and Hokianga. That place is known as the Bailer of Matatua. That remains its name to this day. The true origin of this name, Matatua, lies in the blade of the first adze [mata<i>toki</i> tua<i>tahi</i>] to strike at the tree when it was still standing. Although I speak of an adze, I am referring to whatever was used to fell the tree. Many other Ngapuhi canoes originated from those canoes and their chiefs. This name Hokianga refers to the return </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> [Hokinga] </span>to Hawaiki and the retun back. <b>[8]</b> The tribes of Tauranga, Motiti Island, Whakatane and other districts there support Ngapuhi’s story and say that Matatua is the Ngapuhi canoe. But that tribe are wrong in one part of their account when they say that Puhimoanariki stole Matatua. Why would Puhimoanariki steal his own canoe? Puhimoanariki went about asserting his claim to the land; so he placed the steering paddle of Matatua to the north of Whangaroa, hence the name Kahoe, though its real name is [<i>Ko te hoe kaha o te urunga o Matatua</i> – The Strong Steering Paddle of Matatua]. There is a proverbial saying about the waves at the mouth of Takou. The elders speak of how</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, greetings to you who directs our bird, who sends our treasure to the various marae of our two islands, Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is one of the great treasures brought into being by the elders who have passed it on to us, their children, as a blessing to us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reason why I am writing is that our hearts have been deeply moved at the death of a young chief, Hemi Mete of Nuhaka, who belonged to the Ngatikahungunu tribe. All the family of this young man are very well known. He came here because of his wife’s family. His wife is a sister of Doctor Wi Repa. After they had been married for two years they came here to Te Kaha in the Bay of Plenty to farm his wife’s lands. He set about felling the bush in order to make fences and to build a home, and he completed a weatherboard house. His first idea was to keep cows. When he had cleared several acres he was going to farm sheep. He worked hard on his land for three years; he had no assistance with this. Then he had this dreadful accident.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 21st of this month, April, on the Monday he went with his brother-in-law, Wiremu Arihana, to save some of his cows which were stuck on the side of a cliff. When he arrived at the lower part he saw the cows alive above him. He took hold of a rock in the side of the cliff; he held it to stop himself from falling. At that point the rock crumbled and he fell backwards off the cliff. He fell to the bottom and was killed. Had the tide been full he may not have been killed. His brother-in-law ran and reached him by a different path and found him in a very bad way. He doused him with water and tried other things but could not restore him to life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When news of the accident reached us at Pahaoa and Te Kaha, the women and men and our children were distraught.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That night the boat went to fetch Hemi to bring him to Pahaoa to our meeting house and marae where respects could be paid to him by all the tribes who came. There was great lamentation over this man within all the borders of Te Whanau-a-Apanui, from Tikirau as far as Ngaitai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the Thursday the funeral was conducted by the minister of the parish, Hakaraia Pahewa. The text at the funeral was, ‘Lord, remember me,’ (Luke 23.42). Nearly 200 people came to his funeral. Many tears were shed for him by his young friends <b>[9]</b> that day, and indeed by all the people. His parents and his own people are at Nuhaka, but his has been laid to rest at Pahaoa. Distressed hearts are waiting, ‘For that Day! the dawning of that Great Day – the Last Day.’ He was someone who supported all the activities of the people including the work of the Church of England. He welcomed parties of visitors to his home. I want to say that if there were ten people like Hemi in every one hundred Maori throughout New Zealand then the desire of our member, the Hon A T Ngata, for more farming, and that of our Minister of Maori Affairs, the Hon W Herries, that the same law should apply to both Maori and Pakeha, would be achieved.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My beloved friends, priests and deacons and lay representatives of the Maori People, greetings. Welcome to this hui of the Maori section of the Diocese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">May God the Holy Spirit strengthen us to teach what is true; may he deal with the weaknesses we have shown in past days and reveal to us where we have done wrong; may he lead us to appreciate that the work of the Church has been decreed by God, and that the faith of the Church is that of the Apostles and is a catholic faith and so conforms to the teaching of the Scriptures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, let us look at the Maori People as a whole. What your ancestors achieved in past times was remarkable – in their crossing of great seas they were like the Children of Israel; their faith was an ancient one in that they did not know their destination; their works show them to have been a very intelligent people; in their battles they were a brave people; some of their customs were excellent; they loved their children and they held their chiefs and elders in awe. However, the things that blighted those days were the burdens and the evils of the wars amongst them, and the pain and indignity inflicted on the captives and on the bodies of those who fell in battle. You are still a numerous people in these days but there are not as many of you as there were of your ancestors. The decline of the Maori People began before the arrival of the Pakeha in New Zealand. I have just returned from the island known as Great Barrier and I saw evidence there on the hills, in the valleys, in the caves, that that island was once full of Maori. In these days there is only a small remnant of Maori living there. What caused the disappearance of this great tribe? The Pakeha? No. Rather they were wiped out by another Maori tribe. You know that this is what Maori did during the past one hundred years, whereas you, living under the rule of our King, are well protected.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many benefits have come to you under the Treaty of Waitangi. Your members sit in our Parliament, laws have been made to prevent the waste of your lands, and great powers have been given to your Councils.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you say that the Pakeha have seized some of the lands, remember that this is just what Maori did in the past – confiscated lands. Look at some of the benefits that have come to you under Pakeha rule. Fighting amongst yourselves and the evil of slavery have been done away with. Rather you have learned important things, you live well, and, although wrong things have been done to you sometimes, the Pakeha people have tried to be fair in their dealings with you. But we in this sacred gathering know that the greatest gift, the enduring treasure, that has been brought to you is the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Although some Pakeha have set a bad example for you and you have learned some bad ways, despite this, you know that the thing that will raise up the Maori People to the good and that will correct what they do is faith in Jesus Christ who was crucified for us – if we put our faith in him, yes, if we have faith. The main way in which our faith recalls us to praising God is through the service of praise called the Lord’s Supper which was ordained and commanded by the Eternal Son of God. <b>[10]</b> The greatest joy for us Christians is to attend that service of praise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In this coming year we will have the opportunity to express to God our appreciation of the great blessing he has give our land, that is, the treasure brought here by Marsden, the Christian faith. I spoke to you last year about Christmas 1914 which will be the centenary of the first proclamation of the Gospel by that courageous priest of our Church, Samuel Marsden. My idea has been supported by the bishops, priests, and laity of the New Zealand General Synod. Some papers have been sent to you explaining our thinking and our wishes. The first thing is that a large service will be held on that day at the place at which Marsden first proclaimed Christ. The cross stands there that was erected to commemorate that proclamation. There too the service will be held on Christmas Day 1914. Without your whole-hearted support our hopes will not be fulfilled. Let us start praying now and working towards that day. If your gratitude and your work is sincere then perhaps the work of God will be completely revived amongst all of us in New Zealand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second thing is to see some fruit from the gratitude of our hearts. Will you be prepared along with the Pakeha to make a contribution to a generous offering to God to spread Christian knowledge amongst our children? The contributions can be as follows. Each man, woman, boy and girl will give a chosen amount for every year from their birth up until that Christmas. If they are five years old, ten, twenty, thirty or sixty, they may make a contribution of the same amount for each year of their life – the chosen amount may be in copper, silver, or gold. Each contributes the figure he has reached. Will my Maori people agree to <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">fulfill</span> this wish of mine?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third thing: in February 1915 a large gathering will be held in Auckland to review that matter. Many New Zealand people will attend that meeting, and many Bishops, ministers and laymen of our Church will come from all parts of the world to stir up the hearts of the two sections, the Pakeha section and the Maori section. Earnestly pray to God about this and speak to your people about this big gathering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Better to praise than to grumble, but if we are aware of our failing then perhaps it can be corrected, and so I want to point out some failings I have observed amongst you. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, a word to my clergy friends, ‘Strengthen the flame that is within you which God has given you by the laying-on of hands.’ I rejoice greatly at how well and with what energy some of our Maori clergy go about their work, and I grieve greatly at the laziness of some. My sons, remember that the work given you to do by God is a holy task, ‘and if it shall happen the same Church, or any member thereof, to take any hurt or hindrance by reason of your negligence, ye know the greatness of the fault, and also the horrible punishment that will ensue’ [Book of Common Prayer – The Ordering of Priests.] Gathering together is a well- established Maori custom. Are you making every effort to gather together the people of all the villages in your district to worship God? And is your own behaviour that of a priest? And are you strong and committed to silently bringing the people to God, and to kneeling down alone and praying for your people as Christ did? What is the condition of the houses of God in your districts? Are they clean and is everything inside in good condition to bring honour to our God? When you celebrate the Lord’s Supper are you in awe and remembering that you are doing this in the presence of God? Are you seeking out the sick? Are you making every effort to prepare people adequately for confirmation and praying with them? Are you devoting yourselves to learning the Scriptures and praying to God that you may rightly teach them to the people? ‘Revive your work amongst us, O Lord. Revive your work.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have heard that there is a revival of the work in some parts of this Diocese. But we, are we in a bad way, do we have no heart for the work? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Secondly, a word to my brothers in the lay section. I ask you in love, ‘Will you offer to God that which cost you nothing.’ (2 Samuel 24.24) Perhaps the work in this Diocese suffers from a lack of money, because we have had word from the Diocese of Christchurch that they will no longer be sending the £300 a year that they have sent in past years. Therefore I need urgently to tell you that if the contribution from the Maori section does not increase to support the work amongst them then that work will suffer. <b>[11]</b> I call upon you to give much thought to this matter in this hui and may God guide your hearts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some words about our children. We love them dearly, but how are they going to work in the Church and amongst the people in the future if they are not taught? I truly believe that it is by every individual doing what is right that the Maori People will be renewed and strengthened. The communal activities in the past were good but in these days it is up to each individual to earn his own living and to help the people. Each person is to put their own talent to work and not bury it in the earth. Each person is to take up their own cross and follow Christ.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me summarize my thoughts on these matters. Every boy and girl should learn the Scriptures and the Prayer Book, and in the first instance they should be taught by their parents.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All children should go to school. All boys should be taught some trade or farming. Girls should be taught housekeeping and everything connected with the bearing and raising of children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each man should work his own land and offer his personal prayers to God, telling him of his own temptations and sins and desires.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each person should pray, pray, pray for their Church. Each person should give of his wealth to God who gave his only Son for us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If all these things are done, then the Body of Christ, that it, the Holy Church in this world will flourish because each member of the one body will be strong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am not able to speak to you in your own language and I am sorry for this. Therefore I give thanks, as does the whole Diocese, to my right-hand man and my eyes, Archdeacon H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins,</span> who conveys the wishes and the words of the Bishop to you. He is ably supported by our dear friend, Makewiremu. Let us not forget the excellent work being done by the nurses working in this Diocese who teach your wives and your daughters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have now been working for two years in the Diocese, and you know how greatly I desire to remain as a helper, a brother, and a true father to all of you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">May God the Holy Spirit teach and guide us all in this hui.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the middle of June Germany will have lived in peace for 25 years. Many congratulatory telegrams have been sent to the Kaiser, the German Emperor. The amount contributed to celebrate that anniversary was £190,000 and that money was used for the work of the faith, for the preachers of the Gospel in all the German colonies. Of that money, £125,000 went to the Church of England and other Churches and the remainder to the Catholics. King George sent a telegram of thanks to the Kaiser. When a party from England arrived to congratulate the Kaiser for this aspect of his rule, he said that his wish was that the relationship between England and Germany should remain the same, that no ill-will should develop between them, but that their friendship should increase.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Carnegie, one of the world’s millionaires, went to see the Kaiser, he congratulated him on these twenty-five years in which he had sought to maintain peace and to let peace only grow. The Kaiser replied that his heartfelt hope was that his kingdom would live in peace and quiet for another twenty-five years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Speech of Sir Timi Kara about the Words of the Minister of Maori Affairs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Timi finished his greetings to the tribes he set about explaining the issues raised by the proposals of the Minister of Maori Affairs in his speech. He said that each place was experiencing difficulties: there was no place that was not suffering. We have heard the words of the Minister, his ideas as to how to ease the suffering. And he is asking us to help him to implement his proposals for the well-being of the people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His first proposal that he laid before the people was that Pakeha and Maori should have the same status – that the same law should apply to both in all matters – that Maori should be the same as the Pakeha. The outcome of this law of the Minister would be the untying of all the restrictions at present applying to the lands. Maori must always ask if such a law would be good or bad. Which Pakeha will have the say? There are many different groups of Pakeha. Will it be the Pakeha who drinks liquor or the one who doesn’t? Will it be the Pakeha who has land or the one who has no land? Pakeha land tenure differs from that of Maori. Were the land distributed equally to each person then having the same laws would be fine. The elders in the past were adamant about retaining the land; the problems arose in their children’s time. Is this what it would be like were we the same as the Pakeha? If this is what it means to be equal to the Pakeha, that we get great glory, then we will not miss out. As I see it, if we just allow the law to pass so that restrictions on land are removed, the results will be disastrous. But it is my contention that Maori want this proposal to succeed so that they are free to sell their land. Maori are also saying, ‘Who has said my hands should be tied? Who has said that I should be treated as a child? The land is mine. I can do what I wish with my land.’ It is this aspect of the matter that leads me to say that it is Maori who support this proposed law. Very few Maori are prepared for this law and most are indifferent [?<i>ingoa kau</i>].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the Minister’s proposals was the abolition of tribal land holdings. To the Pakeha the continuing occupation of the land is the Joker in the Pack [<i>kehua</i>]. This is a good proposal on the part of this Minister, but this comes before his law making everyone the same. That Maori are permitted to hold land together is condemned by the Pakeha but they don’t condemn it when they do it – as is the case with Harbour Boards, School Boards and other such joint holding of lands. If Maori and Pakeha are brought under the same laws then the Pakeha will acquire lands which are not theirs because the majority of people are behind the present Government. If Mr Herries agrees first to allocate individual lands and titles, then they will be <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">comparable</span>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His third proposal was to abolish the Maori Land Boards. That's his idea: I say that were there no Board Act there would be no piece of land remaining to the Maori. If this is abolished, what does he intend to put in its place? What eye will look to see if sales are just or unjust? Perhaps the replacement will disappear when Maori and Pakeha are put on the same basis. If you think this is a good thing, that’s up to you. It is true that the Board has its faults, but it is a treasure delivered by all the former laws; so let’s not worry about the faults, for its brothers and leaders have gone wrong before.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His fourth proposal was to abolish appeals against the decisions of the Court. The Pakeha would have this right but we would not have the same. The Pakeha have used many millions of pounds on this. ‘I do not want to plunder Maori lands.’ I understand that he is honest when he says this; he has said this before. I honour him for this. I conclude my words to you for the time-being.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Come to see the Maori of Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu who have arrived at this one of their marae. Although we are a numerous people and come from numerous places, one thing has brought us together today and that is our faith in Jesus Christ. We gathered out of a desire to be present at the opening of the church which stands here. It is not a very large building when you look at it but in our hearts it is a large building and a sacred building. This is a bringing to life of the handiwork of our forebears who have passed on. It is a gift from our forebears, from our ancestors. We have added to the handicraft of the Pakeha the carvings of the Maori; we have tied the new world to the old world. We have welcomed you with the haka of our ancestors: don’t be scared by the slapping of hands, the stamping of feet, and the protruding tongues; this was the way our ancestors welcomed Selwyn and other pillars of the Church to the Ika-a-Maui [Fish of Maui – the North Island]. Perhaps this is the time to bring an end to these customs. You have been hearing hymns sung to Maori tunes and to Pakeha tunes. This shows the conflict between the new world and the old world, but this will not be a long conflict. Welcome and farewell! Go to your peoples of the ocean. Carry with you our greetings and our love – those of a people of faith to the people of faith. May our heavenly Father bless you, protect you, strengthen you in body and spirit, and sustain you in times of loneliness, weakness and sorrow. Greetings to you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have received news of the arrival in Port Jackson of HMS New Zealand, New Zealand’s gift to the mother country, England. Early next month it will arrive in Wellington. That is the first place at which it will call. Then we will know and have confirmation as to which places it is to visit. But we certainly know that it is to call at Auckland and there will be a day of celebration there when it arrives. This visit by HMS New Zealand is so that its parents, its ancestors, its people can see it. It is a visit to see its Homeland before it is placed in the hands of the Mother Country to defend its seas and shores. People, this is a great and remarkable event, and it is worth making an effort to see it. If we recall the recent Parliamentary elections we will remember that this was one of the matters that the Opposition of that time used to attack the Government. It was the main issue about which Mr Ward was vilified – his approval of that steamship, and it was an issue amongst other issues that led to the overthrow of his Government. However we should now realise that it was erratic behaviour that was at the root of the defeat of Mr Ward’s Government. But what are those people who criticised Mr Ward doing now? Perhaps they will be running when this ship arrives. We also will be there to see it, and we will see what they are about and hear what they are saying. Welcome HMS New Zealand! Welcome, visitor from afar, white heron who rarely visits. Trace the journeys of your forebears, your ancestors, who have all passed on, of Takitimu, of Horouta, of Te A<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r</span>awa, of Matatua, of Kurahaupo and others. Come so that your people, Maori and Pakeha, may see you. We salute you. Congratulations to Mr Ward and his government, the people who gave us this treasure.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, 27th April, HMZ New Zealand arrived here at Gisborne. It was a terrible say with a driving Southerly wind and the heavy rain did not let up. But although the day was like that, the people – men, women, children, Pakeha and Maori – did not notice it, keen as they were to see this remarkable treasure, an expression of the love of the Dominion for the Mother Country and for the whole Empire of King George V. But it is clear why people were dying to see it – they feel a relationship to that warship. It is not like any other warship that may come to the Dominion with which we have a cool relationship; ultimately we have a unique relationship with it. Because of the very rough seas that day most of the people were unable to go on board the warship because the launches carrying people were unable to tie up alongside. Only the Official Welcoming Committee from the town and a few others were able to go on board. Most of the people watched from on board ferry boats. Their desire to visit their treasure was not gratified: what they really wanted was to touch it with their hands and tread on it with their feet. They complained and were sad when it came about that they were unable to go on board. But their eager hearts were battered and plunged in despair by the gale-force winds, the torrential rain, and the rough seas in the evening, together with the words of the Captain that if the weather deteriorated further he would sail to Auckland. We think that many people prayed that night that the wind and the waves be rebuked and become calm. We say this to show the eagerness of people to go on board their warship. At eight o’clock in the evening the rain and the winds intensified, the sea roared, but good luck was coming for the people of Gisborne. At nine o’clock the New Zealand sailed out and disappeared from view. Those on land were left complaining. When New Zealand set sail it shone its searchlights on the shore and lit up the whole town. You must realise that the driving winds and the torrential rains that night meant that there was no clear place, all was dark. But when New Zealand put on its lights one could see a needle lying in the road. When it disappeared, no-one knew where it had gone. Most thought that it had gone straight to Auckland. When it left it went straight to the Te Mahia area. It did not rest that night but continued to sail as if it were a fighting ship going about its work. By dawn on the Monday the wind had ceased and the sea was calm. But what use was good weather when it was not known where the New Zealand was? But then came the clearing away of sadness <b>[4]</b> and the entering of joy and gladness into the hearts of people when they saw the New Zealand thrusting through the mist to anchor at its anchorage of the previous day. It did not take long for the Mayor to send messages to all parts of Gisborne. Before 10 o’clock Gisborne was full of people, Pakeha and Maori. Seven boats were arranged to take people on board the warship. By 11 o’clock news came from the warship that the number of people on board had risen to 4,000. All the school children of Gisborne were taken on board by the Government steamship, Tutanekai.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Tai Rawhiti’s Welcome.<br />
</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A steamer was kindly set aside to take the tribes of Tai Rawhiti on board the warship without charge. It was the Ruru and belongs to Richardson & Co, which is run by Williams & Kettle. After midday the Ruru arrived to carry about 100 Maori on board. At that time Captain Halsey had not shown himself but had been sitting in his cabin. He had not shown himself because he was waiting for the Maori party to arrive. At half-past one the Ruru came alongside the New Zealand. The Maori helped with that work instructed by someone. All work on the ship stopped when the Maori arrived and all the people came to watch the Tai Rawhiti performance. Wi Pere and Pitau were the elders. Thousands of people had come on board the warship but it did not appear to be full because it is so large. Large parts of it were empty. When all the Maori were on the ship they were taken to a place that had been specially set aside for them. It was fenced off with ropes and the ship’s officers were standing guard to prevent unauthorised people from entering. When all the Maori had entered, Captain Halsey came. When he arrived, the Mayor of Gisborne introduced to him Wi Pere and Otene Pitau and their grandchildren, along with Whetu Keiha, niece of Lady Kara, and Tiria Pere, grandchild of Wi Pere. The first thing done was the presentation of the Welcome by all the tribes of the Tai Rawhiti, the canoes of Takitimu and Horouta.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to the Visitor from afar, bringing the treasure of these islands of Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu. This is the place where the canoes of our ancestors, Takitimu and Horouta, made landfall when they migrated from Hawaiki.

The printer of Te Pipi printed it. After the reading of the Welcome, Mr MacDonald, one of the members for the East Coast, spoke and expressed to Captain Halsey his sorrow that Sir Timi and Lady Kara were unable to be present that day because Sir Timi Kara was unwell and had had to stay in Wellington; consequently he was taking their place as intermediary between him and the Maori of the Tai Rawhiti.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After Mr MacDonald’s speech, Whetu Keiha and Tiria Pere laid the gifts from Horouta and Takitimu before Captain Halsey – a Maori cloak of kiwi and pigeon feathers and a greenstone club whose name was one of the ancestral names of the gathering, Kahutia. After the presentation of the articles, Mr Pettie, the Mayor of Gisborne, stood to greet Captain Halsey. He supported the words of welcome of the tribes of the Tai Rawhiti. After the speech Wi Pere handed over the the Welcoming to Captain Halsey.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Captain Halsey is a very competent speaker; he has a loud voice, he speaks clearly and without hesitation or anything, he was a great orator. This was what he said: ‘I am very grateful for the warmth of your welcome to us and our men who have come here, bringing your vessel, the New Zealand, <b>[5]</b> to Poverty Bay, a place famed in story. I am very sorry that people who came on Sunday were unable to come on board because of the rough seas. But I rejoice now in the happy circumstance of the change of weather for the good, which has enabled you to come on board your ship. I am very proud of having been appointed to the post of fugleman on your canoe, this great gift which you have given out of your heartfelt concern for the Empire to enable it to keep its word and its authorityin a wild world. I am fortunate that this has happened to me. The time will come when we are called to demonstrate to the world what our calling involves and our thoughts will not fail to return to the people whose love and whose commitment to fulfilling all the responsibilities of the Empire, the Empire of which we are proud today to be a part. I am very grateful to you, my Maori friends, the tribes of Tai Rawhiti for making me so welcome and for the blessings contained in your Welcome. It is a wonderful thing for me to see your loyalty to our great King, George the Fifth [<i>tuawhitu</i> sic]. I will convey the all the blessings of the Maori People of Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu to the King. Where is the Treaty of Waitangi, the treasure that binds the peoples of these islands to the Motherland? Kia ora, koutou katoa!’ (These words were spoken in Maori). When Captain Halsey finished his response, Tai Rawhiti performed haka for the people of the ship. They did a haka about ‘the big mortgage New Zealand was saddled with’. It was excellent. They danced and grimaced on the deck of the New Zealand, the reason why New Zealand is burdened with the big mortgage. Hearing the roaring of the sea at the vigorous performance of the haka was awesome.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Second Tai Rawhiti Gift.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the haka the group broke up. Wi Pere and those grandchildren were escorted to the Captain’s cabin where they awaited the arrival of the second grandchild of Queen Victoria, Prince George of Battenburg, (nephew of King George V). There a different gift was given to the Prince – more Maori cloaks. Wi explained to the Prince that they were not great things but would serve to remind him of the loyalty of the Tai Rawhiti to King George, and Wi urged the Prince to be good and to follow in the footsteps of his ancestor, Queen Victoria. He also said that they should not worry about New Zealand: ‘the thing for you to worry about is the sea; if the enemy lands here we’ll take them into the bush and knock them about a bit.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Prince George felt himself unable to express adequately his delight at Tai Rawhiti’s welcome to him. He was half asleep when he received the message that he was to be presented with a gift. These were his words: ‘I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown to me by the tribes of Tai Rawhiti as shown by these tokens of love which have been laid down before me. It does not give joy to me only but will also delight my parents and my family in England when they hear of your kindness to me. Thank you all for your love.’</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Prince had spoken, Captain Halsey came and placed around the shoulders of Whetu and Tiria black sashes bearing the name ‘HMS New Zealand’, and gave them cards with pictures of all parts of the ship. He gave these as gifts to whetu and Tiria as the ones who presented Tai Rawhiti’s gifts. That ended the formalities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The final words are particularly honoured. Whenever crew members come to the place where these words are inscribed they stop and honour them. This is a remarkable custom. There are three funnels, one higher than its two fellows: it is called by the crew of the ship, ‘Love’, and the other two are ‘Faith’ and ‘Hope’. ‘The greatest of these three is love’, taller than the others. It is not possible to speak of all the other things on on board – the engines and other things, because Maori has no words to describe them. While one English word suffices to describe something, Maori requires one hundred.</span></div>

The great guns are 47 feet long and each one weighs 60 tons; just one costs £13,000. If one of those guns is fired, it consigns £60 to oblivion. If all the guns on one side are fired then they blow away £480. On board the ship are 80 rounds of ammunition for each gun. By the time his ship returns to England it will have travelled 50,000 miles.</span></div>

What caused me distress was that my thoughts went back to those who gave us this treasure. When their vision came to fulfilment they were not there in their places. Mr Ward was not there, Timi was not there, none of them were there. Their opponents gathered the fruits. However the thing that heals the distress is this – that the whole world wonders at the noble gesture on the part of Mr Ward and his Government who have left an example for each part of the Empire to follow. Canada has followed this example, Australia has followed, Africa has followed, and soon all the world will have followed New Zealand’s example. Blessings on Mr Ward and his Government! Long live the King!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">thought that the time is near when the fighting will cease. It was thought that the end of the war was imminent when news came of the fall of Turkey’s strongest fort, Adrianople. This is that nation’s most important fortress. If that fort is taken then there remains only the capital city of Turkey, Constantinople. This city is not as strong as that which has been overthrown; therefore, if the war is drawn out so that the fighting reaches Constantinople, it will not be long before it falls. So it is thought that Turkey will not permit this state of affairs and will seek a way to make peace, to bring an end to this war. Should it come about that the fighting goes on and Constantinople falls, Turkey will be a conquered nation, like the Boers who took it on the chin from the English. Their separate identity will have been lost and they will no longer be regarded as having a kingdom in that area.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the early days of April we received news of the defeat of the Turks, and of the fall of their strongest fort, Adrianople. A huge number of men fell on both sides. The wounded and dead of the Bulgarians was between 10,060 and 11,000. Of the Serbians, their allies against the Turks, 6 officers and 268 men were killed and 7 officers and 1,160 men were wounded.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One would have thought that with this deployment of the defences in this large fortress, had Turkey used all its learning and all its strength, the enemy would not have been able to overthrow its breastworks. Bulgaria and its allies examined carefully the deployment of the defences and decided to concentrate their strength upon one place, the eastern section. General Vazov directed the attacking armies here. Under him were 14 battalions of soldiers, 88 machine guns, and 92 large cannons. General [?<i>Kekowha</i>] commanded the armies to the south. Under him were 2 battalions of soldiers, 12 machine guns and 28 large cannons. General [?<i>Ratai</i>] confronted the western section. Under him were 3 battalions of soldiers (these soldiers were from Serbia). There were no large cannons because the fighting here was not intense. General [?<i>Kauiti</i>] was the officer given oversight in the north-west. There was a total of 120,000 Bulgarians with 370 guns, and 40,000 Serbians with 98 guns. The fighting went on for two days. The fort was surrounded on the Tuesday and Wednesday. Most of the fighting, the heaviest, took place on the eastern side and towards the south. Bulgaria chose to use most of its forces here because it was aware that Turkey had concentrated most of its strength here, and Bulgaria thought that if it could defeat them here then the capture of the rest of the fort would be a formality. Bulgaria’s strength lay in its heavy artillery. For some time the Turkish defensive walls held but then they began to fall one after another. The Bulgarians kept up the same bombardment around the whole of the fort of Adrianople. Turkey was allowed no breathing-space. One robust tactic of the Bulgarians was to sneak through the barbed wire that the Turks had installed to trouble them. It was as if the Bulgarians were crawling through a forest of blackberries. But that did not trouble them; they had their greatcoats that acted as protective padding. By 10 o’clock on the Tuesday night they were within 300 yards of the eastern emplacements, right in the mouth of the guns, in the heat of battle. On the Wednesday morning, General Ivanov gave the order to charge the fort, the 14 emplacements on the eastern side. At 11 o’clock in the morning the cavalry charged killing people with bayonets. There was no lack of aggression, the Bulgarians thought nothing of living but gave up their own bodies to death. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was a tremendous assault by the Bulgarians and the description of it has become proverbial, for their generals said of the overthrow of the fort and the defeat of Turkey, ‘It was like a tree laden with fruit and the fruit being scattered by the wind.’ The Turks were unable to stop this charge. Immediately after the cavalry charge came the foot soldiers, firing as they went. Then the heavy artillery sent shells over the heads of those who were advancing to clear a way for them into the fortress. By 7 o’clock in the evening most of the fort had fallen. The area that held out the longest was the western section. The machine guns were directed at it and by 10 o’clock that section had fallen.

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The whole world directed its thoughts to the fort of Adrianople when the fighting reached there. It did not focus its thoughts there in order to see if the fort would fall or how it would. Rather the main reason why the world observed it is to be found in the story of this fort from past times. Adrianople is a very ancient fortress and one may say that it is the cord which links the new world with the ancient world. Before the Jewish religion had become firmly established in Palestine this fortress was in existence. Adrianople was there before Christ gave his Sermon on the Mount. Before the birth of Mohammed, the man who converted most of the nations of Europe to his religion, Constantinople [sic] existed. We call it a religion, but its ideas were the deceitful creations of men, the kinds of things that are propagated amongst us in these days, added to which are the words of God as <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">decoration</span>. We have few of the many ancient stories of this fortress now; most have been lost. The first name of this fort was Uskadama, and it was a large fort in the time of Paul. When Rome was the great power in Europe, one of the Emperors, Hadrian, went there and, <b>[9] </b>seeing the declining state of the fort, gave orders that it should be reconstructed. At this time the name was changed; he gave it his own name and it became Hadrianople. It is remarkable to think that at that time we were still in Hawaiki. The Pakeha people were at that time still bowing down to their own ‘native tohunga’. But the thing that is different is that, although we have no records of that fort, the thing that has remained from those days until now is the name. A major battle was fought there when it was under the rule of Rome. This was the when this fort became well known. That battle between Rome and the Goths was known as ‘the Final Battle of the Legions.’ ‘The Legions’ was the name give to the Roman soldiers. At the beginning of this conflict the Goths were weaker than the Romans but as the conflict continued the Goths increased in strength. In 378 AD the two armies met at Adrianople. Rome suffered a disastrous defeat. The Emperor [Valens] of Adrianople died in this battle. This was the last time the Roman Legions ventured into this territory. Later [1369] Murad the First came with his army. He easily conquered the fort and the surrounding lands. Murad I was the first Emperor of Turkey; he was known by one of his titles, that of Sultan. This was the beginning of Turkish hegemony over this fort, in 1361 [sic]. Afterwards there was another conflict there between the Turks and the Pope of Rome at the time. This was a conflict between the Christian peoples on the side of the Pope and Turkey, a nation which followed the way of Mohammed, mentioned above. Turkey’s opponents numbered 60,000 and the Turks 10,000. The Christians did not make a stand but were heavily defeated by the Turks. The Turks raised their flag over the fort and from that time up until the present their flag waved over Adrianople. But when the fortress fell, a cross was placed where the Turkish flag had flown. Adrianople has now returned and given its allegiance to the Cross, and to Christianity. This is why the gaze of all the nations of the world is fixed on what will be the outcome of the war. The significance of the war according to those who are observing it intently, according to learned people, according to those observing the signs of the times, is its relationship to a prophecy in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 7, Verses 8 to 14. Read these verses and you may perhaps see in them some application to this war. The important thing for us to notice in these verses is the emergence of the small horn, and how that horn overthrew the thrones, and the establishment of the Ancient of Days. After this Daniel saw one, like the Son of Man. The Son of Man came into the presence of the Ancient of Days and was given dominion and glory and kingship, so that all peoples, nations and languages should serve him; and ‘his dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away.’ It was a very small people who wounded the Turkish jaws, and perhaps this can be seen as the being like the small horn. The return of Constantinople [sic] into the hands of the Christian nations by the elimination of one of its strong opponents, the religion of Mohammed, may perhaps be compared to the return of the ancient of Days to the throne and his presentation of dominion and kingship to him for ever. We ought to understand that in the time of Roman domination this fort was regarded as a base for the spread of the faith, but when Turkey seized it, this ceased and the religion of Mohammed took its place. Therefore the outcome of this war is simply the return of this fort to the purpose for which it was formerly designed.</span></div>

The food was placed in food baskets – the child at the bottom of the basket and the kumara on top – and given to those elders.

One of the elders went outside the house and searched the whole village for their child without finding it.

He made two leaps, one to one side, one to the other, and on the third he landed in the middle of the Whakatane River. Tamaruarangi died here. Te Rangitumai fled, pursued by that tribe, and came to Kiwinui. Rongokarae lived there. Maruiwi launched an attack and the pa was being overthrown. Seventy men gathered in the house of Rongokarae. The people called upon Rongokarae for the pa was being overthrown. Rongokarae said, ‘Let them come and grasp the raupo walls of Tokanui.’ (Tokanui was a house.) They attacked that house which was still held by the seventy men inside; they had not come outside the house to fight. The war party grasped the raupo walls of the house to pull it apart. Rongokarae called out, ‘Cut the lashings that hold the front wall of the house!’ Then the seventy men demolished the front wall of the house and the window opening; it all fell. Some of the war party were killed by the front wall of the house. Then the seventy men came out fighting. The war party was defeated and Maruiwi was pursued.</span></div>

When they arrived at Purotu, at the ford of Mohaka, where they cooked and feasted on the dead. Maruiwi and Pakaumoana travelled together. In the evening they arrived above Kaiwaka and set about collecting firewood. They heaped up the firewood and then returned. They named that place Wahie-a-noa [?Firewood for nothing!]. They travelled by night and turned aside to Pokopoko; Maruiwi was in front and Pakaumoana behind. [Unable to see in the dark], Maruiwi [and his people] plunged [over the cliff] into Te Waro-o-Rehunga [the Chasm of Rehunga] to their deaths. When dawn came all Maruiwi’s people had perished. <b>[11]</b> Pakaumoana and his people survived. Hence the song:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. Please publish this on the marae to which you go. I write this, Pa, out of distress and love, too, because your thoughts may have been troubled by the fact that Taingakawa, his grandson, and their people failed to respond to the invitation of the Tai Rawhiti to come to Manutuke, Gisborne. This is why. On March 3rd Taingakawa met up with Te Rata Mahuta so that the two of them could go together to Auckland to catch the steamer on 5th. When they got to Waahi the grandson asked, ‘Tupu, do you have the letter sent to the two of us?’ Tupu answered, ‘I haven’t received any letter.’ I was thinking that there would be a letter from your Elder, Timi Kara, or from your elders. So I ask you, ‘<i>He aha kei ahau kei o papa, ranei i a koe ka kitea mai?’</i> This remains the question for us and your people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pa, this partially explains our distress and love. Therefore it is worthwhile looking at a Waikato proverb. This man, Te Mahamaha, if he were overlooked on the occasion of a feast, would not start wailing but would instead seize the living people. If a person does not get what is expected or receive an invitation to a feast he uses this proverb:</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Ka hapa a Te Mahamaha.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Te Mahamaha is missed out.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Therefore, why was an appropriate letter not sent to Te Rata? Perhaps had Mahuta still been alive a letter would have arrived, and Te Rata would simply have been included in the general invitation and amongst the speakers on the marae.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Therefore, tribes and hapu, it is an embarrassing thing to arrive at a place without a specific invitation. If one is kindly invited then one can arrive happily at a place. So, you noble tribes, is this right? Had a separate letter arrived for Te Rata or Tupu it would have been right to say so. Had we despised the request from the chiefs of the Tai Rawhiti, then that would have been a good reason for our not attending that hui.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE WONDERFUL TAI RAWHITI HUI.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is right that they should put their hearts into it and make every effort. But the reason why this hui was exceptionally glorious, and why it can be called the most wonderful hui held by Tai Rawhiti was its approval over and above the speeches of greeting and that it brought together all the tribes, hapu, voices, assemblies, authorities, and leaders from every part of Aotearoa. This was wonderful – that Manutuke gathered up as one before it all the tribes, that there was a sense of being one family on that day, that all the Maori tribes had come together under the one faith, and also with a concern for the things that would benefit the body. The association’s addresses are being printed so we give here only a description of this superb occasion. One of the remarkable things about this hui was the arrival of the great ones of other parts, of the Western Coast and of Wellington. Manutuke invited them and they picked up their feet, or sailed on the water, most of them newcomers to Gisborne. For this reason Tai Rawhiti set up this hui to be outstandingly glorious. Likewise you local people gave a welcome to these great people who came in response to your invitation, to fulfil your desires and hopes in all the ways you wished – great people discussing great matters for the heart to sort out and analyse, and bringing plenty of money to ease your burdens. The following are all the tribes and hapu that came to Manutuke marae:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ngatikahungunu (the whole area), Taranaki, Waikato, Ngatituwharetoa, Ngarauru, Ngatiruanui, Whanganui, Rangitane, Ngatiraukawa, Ngatiapa, Ngapuhi, Tuhoe, Ngaitai, Te Arawa, Whakatohea,, Te Whanau-a-Apanui, and Te Waipounamu. More than four thousand people attended this hui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The coming of the tribes from the local area to the marae.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the last days of February the tribes from Tai Rawhiti began to arrive on the marae. Taranaki Te Ua was the first party and soon afterwards came Ngatiporou, then all of Ngatikahungunu from Te Paritu <b>[2]</b> to all the Te Wairoa area. Tai Rawhiti were confined to their marae for a long time from the last days of February until March 5th. It was a large hui which is the reason why they were confined there for a long time. For a long time the progress of these tribes had been observed as they made their ways filling the road, crowds of Ngatikahungunu, crowds of Ngati Porou. Out of sympathy they brought their elderly men and women; those who had seen the first Manutuke being built and those who had not. On this day the saying about Raua and Pipiwhakao came afresh into its own:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Ka tere Rauwa raua ko Pipiwhakao.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rauwa and Pipiwhakao are afloat. [cf <i>Nga Pepeha</i> 1146, used of large crowds.] And there was no shortage of ‘floaters’. Tai Rawhiti assembled quickly: first, because they were the local people; secondly, to make arrangements for saluting and formally welcoming the groups as they arrived; thirdly, to arrange in a coherent way some matters to be laid before the hui. As these various matters arose they were allocated by Tai Rawhiti to each working group, to each section, to children, elderly men, elderly women, or whoever – there were jobs for all, and all took up weapons at the time of battle. There was no escape from the enemy – the heavy duties which hung like a cloud over this great hui. We cannot say many words here about the local people, all of Tai Rawhiti. However, perhaps Te Pipi may be permitted to give a brief explanation, or rather a salutation to the local people. ‘You local people, blessings on you for your efforts, even though it is your own pet that is saluting you. That is enough from me at this point: I leave it to the great and good outcomes, born in you hui, to praise you. I leave it to the beautiful arrangements of your hui to praise you. I leave it for the paying off of your church and your debts to praise you. But your pet knows that you are aware of groups amongst you whose great and awesome contributions you want to acknowledge. First, there was Te Waotu and all his people who expressed your desire to have a hui, who set it up, and also facilitated the works on the marae. This is the man worthy of most praise in this hui. As a result of Waotu’s effort in supporting this hui, Otene Pitau was able to say in his suffering as he grieved for his son, Taranaki, “It <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">was</span> as if I had <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t</span>o suffer</span> under the [?<i>wawae</i> sic - ?<i>waewae</i> feet, footprints] of my son.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Secondly, your pet knows that you would similarly like to thank those partners of yours, Ngati<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">p</span>orou and Ngatikahungunu at Te Wairoa: Ngatiporou for the ways in which they helped with haka and other things, and Ngatikahungunu for the helping tasks that fell to them. These people have been your partners, local people, from before the first Manutuke up to the present. I leave it, ‘Porou and ‘Kahungunu, to the fruit of your helping work to praise and establish you. Congratulations to all the people of Tai Rawhiti.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A Great Day – The Arrival of the Maori Minister.- The Parties from the West, the Tai Rawhiti, and Wellington.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wednesday, March 5th, the day the Hui opened, saw myriads, thousands of people coming on to the marae – Pakeha, Maori, Blacks, Italians, Syrians, all sorts of people. This was a wonderful day at the Hui and more than 5000 people gathered that day. All work stopped in the town of Gisborne after lunch so that all the leading people of the town and large groups of people could come. The groups on this day were all awesome. The first parties were from the West, Tai Rawhiti including Hawkes Bay, North Auckland and Wellington. They all arrived in Gisborne on the same day. After lunch another awesome party arrived, that of the Minister of Maori Affairs, the Honourable W H Herries, and D G A Cooper, Judge of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, and other important people from the town. They were escorted by Sir Timi Kara and his friend, W D S MacDonald, one of the East Coast Members of Parliament. The parties that arrived in the morning were huge and the people who came from those parts were awesome. One saw remarkable evidence of Maori authority amongst these people. How the local people were occupied in welcoming their important visitors in the morning and in the afternoon until 4 o’clock! The energy put into the haka was amazing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the haka to the Minister of Maori Affairs, Dr Tutere Wi Repa, welcomed him on behalf of the whole Maori People. His words of welcome were excellent. He congratulated the Honourable W H Herries on his appointment to this high office. He has been installed as Captain to guide the canoe of the whole Maori People and the hope of his Maori People was that he would manage the canoe well. When he finished, Mr Herries stood to respond. His first words were of thanks for the congratulations and the welcome. <b>[3]</b> Then he laid out his Government’s programme. There followed responses to his speech and to the programme he had outlined. In the response those important issues were listed and answers given. Sir Timi Kara and his son, Ngata, strongly advised the people to get a good grasp of each proposed action and each proposed law dealing with every aspect of things. It fell to the two of them to see to the proper arrangement of the speeches. One saw how many people were present because the Manutuke marae was full. At the first sitting of dinner one thousand three hundred people sat down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thursday saw the final arrivals with the coming of Taranaki and Whanganui. These were the last tribes from the Tai Hauauru.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Works of the Faith.<br />
</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the remarkable things about this great hui was the coming together of the material and the spiritual activities; they did not trip each other up; and this, together with the unity amongst the many branches of the faith present there, led to the spread of goodwill. It was good that the Church whose Hui it was greeted all those other branches who came so that all were at one, everything went smoothly, and the acts of worship were pleasing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The clergy who led the worship and preached were: Hemi Huata of Mohaka, Henare W Te Wainohu of Wairoa, Wi Paraire Rangihuna of Nukutaurua, Pereiha Tuahangata of Moteo, Te Manaroa of Waipatu, Arthur Williams, Supervisor, of Hastings, Reweti Kohere of Te Araroa, Pine Tamahori of Hikurangi, and Herbert Williams, together with the Principal of Te Raukahikatea. These were the people who opened the Manutuke church and who participated in the Combined Synod of the Diocese of Waiapu. Archdeacon Williams was the head. The people appreciated and praised the worship and the preaching each morning and evening. The sermons were all related to the new church: they praised the completion of the building and encouraged the people whose building it is to take care of this tribal building and to support all that will go on inside it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was an important day for the Hui when the Bishop of Melanesia arrived on the Thursday evening. He has been newly consecrated to be Bishop for the black people of the Pacific Islands. He is a tall man, a man who speaks graciously. Dr Wi Repa welcomed him on behalf of the Maori People and the Bishop was full of gratitude that he had been able to come to the wonderful hui of the Maori People where he could see what Maori are like. Previously his impression was of naked people, of wild stares, of protruding tongues, of legs jumping, of striking fists which he had seen; but now his impression is of people elegantly dressed in Pakeha clothes, of the English language, and of hymns to God, all of which he has seen. The Bishop said that he had learned a great deal at this Hui. Later we will report the speech given by the Maori People to the Bishop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. On the day you arrived amongst the Maori tribes gathered at Manutuke, Gisborne, 5th March, 1913, you set out the policy of your Government with regard to Maori and to their lands. We told you that we would study that policy and would send you the results of our deliberations. We have now considered them and these are our thoughts on your proposals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) As to your request that the Maori People treat you sympathetically and assist you with the laws you propose as part of your management, that is fine – you are appealing for compassion from the shining sun. That is good and your leading of the people should be easy-going. If you protect their remaining land you will be blessed. At this time our thoughts are not unrestricted: we are looking to see what you will do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(2) You said to us when you were setting out the main objective that the strong contention of your Government is that Maori and Pakeha should be united and living under the one law with no differences between them. We looked at this proposal at length. What you say is not something new on your part or that of your colleagues occupying the Government benches. It may be the case that that is how we must come together, by adopting Pakeha ways. It may be right that if we are urged on by the law then we will get there more quickly. But it is our belief that we should only cautiously encourage the growth of Pakeha ways amongst us. It is difficult for this generation of Maori to give an unequivocal ‘yes, let us soon turn ourselves into Pakeha.’ As we see it the laws affecting us and our lands are protecting us in our weakness, and if they are done away with there will be serious consequences for us, who are not yet sophisticated enough to carry those burdens. We also perceive that the benefits we would get from Pakeha ways are small compensations for the comforts we get from our Maori ways. So this large gathering of the Maori People cannot agree with this part of your platform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(3) As for your saying that we should give much thought to the boundaries of our lands so that the interests of each person or each family are clearly defined, that is good. The Native Land Court has been established for forty-eight years as the machine which works to determine Maori land titles and to bring them in line with Pakeha titles. There have been many faults with that machine and Parliament has made many attempts to fix its broken parts. Now you are saying to us that you will simplify the working of the Native Land Court so as to expedite the determining of our titles. That is good. Our decision on this matter is as follows: if a section of the Maori People sees that it is good to hold their lands collectively then they should be able to go ahead with that consolidation. The Government must not be able to make provisions to block that incorporation. You know that many areas of land cannot be divided up so as to allocate to each person their separate part. It could happen that the value of the land is used up in survey and legal fees. It is good and right that the boundaries of lands are determined, but when people are seeking to establish the correct boundaries there ought to be a prohibition on authorising the gifting or ceding of that land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(4) As for your statement that you are thinking of abolishing the Maori Land Boards, that is, all the legal provisions which permit a group of people or trustees to administer Maori lands with rights to sell or lease:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our understanding is that there are two parts to the Board’s task<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>First</i>, to manage Maori lands, and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Second</i>, to supervise the disposition of Maori lands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are not clear as to whether it is only the actual Board that you will abolish, leaving its work to be done by some civil servants. Therefore we are unclear as to what definite response to make to this proposal of yours. Provided that the tasks and the authority of the Board are retained, then, if they are done by another body then that is not an issue for us. But what we want is for your Government to amend the harsh aspects of the Board Law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(5) The restrictions upon Maori lands. Your Government should look carefully at these. Consideration should be given to prohibiting the sale of lands in areas where there is now little land remaining. There are places where much land remains, more than those who own the land want or are able to work to provide them with a living. We are not asking that the sale in such places be prohibited. Your Government should not act only on the basis of the cautious desire of each tribe to protect its remaining lands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A final word. This hui is grateful that you came and spread before us your pearls of wisdom. This gathering of the Maori People is particularly grateful that you said that you will not confiscate Maori lands. Keep your word. We also add this word of guidance for you: do not blind yourself to the weakness of the Maori. Do not neglect the fact that their individual strengths are a basis for the laws. <b>[5]</b> They are a people who are developing and who need careful guidance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although this law has been passed, no way has been found to implement it until now. Now it has been arranged that the Headteachers of the Government Schools will undertake that work. Under this law the names of children under the age of six months before March 1st are to be entered. Therefore if there are any Maori children who were born before the month of March they should be taken now to be registered. That law is now in force, so we Maori should not disparage it or say that it is of no significance. The sanction attached to this law is that a person who neglects to do this may be fined £2, an amount set by the Registrar General.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, March 9th, Holy Trinity Church was opened by the Archdeacon of the Diocese, Herbert Williams. There were so many people they could not all get into the church. The groups of guests filled the church. The hymns were led by the choir under Paraire Tomoana. The sound of the crowd singing within the walls of Holy Trinity was delightful. The text on which the Archdeacon preached was taken from the Book of the Prophet Haggai, chapter two, verse nine: ‘The glory of this latter house will be greater than that of the former.’ What the Archdeacon had to say about the legacy of our fathers was deeply moving. His address looked back to the first planting of the faith in Gisborne, and the reality of the faith was made visible in the church built by the elders. The story of the building of the church was one matter, the summary of the spiritual side of the Archdeacon’s sermon was another: it was that we should not be content with a beautiful church but with beautiful hearts. Each person is a temple, a temple of God, and that temple is perfected by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God. Likewise the church is a House of God and everything that goes on within it should be holy; we must seek to grow and strengthen the activities in it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because he has many problems to deal with in the north of the Diocese the Bishop was not able to come to this Hui, and so he asked me to stand in for him at the opening of our church and as president of this meeting. Although he is absent in body, his thoughts are here, and he is praying to God to bless our Hui and that it will bear much fruit. He it was who said that we should combine the meetings of the Waiapu and Hawkes Bay areas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two of our clergy friends have been called to rest in the past year, Nikora Tautau and Paraone Turei. I must speak of the deaths of each of them. Nikora had worked for many years in the Lord’s vineyard – he bore the burden and the heat of the day, and death came unexpectedly when he was returning from his service. But Paraone was a young man who had only just begun his work. He was of no great age when he contracted fever and died. God has his purposes: he gave and he has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our church, made of brick, has been erected. The carved posts and other things within have been completed, and it has been opened. Let us give thanks to God who graciously strengthened us to do the work. We also thank Te Heuheu and others for the help they gave us in our work of building it. But it has not yet been consecrated, because the debt on it has not yet been paid off. The debt is nearly £1250 (we have not yet received some of the bills). The collection to pay that debt will take place shortly and our hope is that the debt will be paid off enabling our church to be consecrated when the bishop again visits this area.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[<i>Continued from page 6.</i>] in October the building was opened. But most of the work was made possible by the Pakeha – much more money was given by the Pakeha than was given by the Maori People. That school is not for Pakeha girls but for our own daughters. This is something that shames the Maori People – when we leave it to the Pakeha to erect our buildings. I would ask you to remember the amount still owing on that building.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Money.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maori people are not poor. No, they have property. But the Maori People’s hearts have turned to the pleasures of the world. They have forgotten the things which will help their children to develop and that will give life to your souls. What I am saying is not a criticism of sheep-raising or farming or whatever on the part of the Maori People. No, it is good to see how industrious you are. But it is not a good thing to see a person putting all their effort only into things that will fill their bellies or make their bodies grow. Let us also remember our spiritual side, that it may grow, that it may live, as well as the body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Hui</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is another matter that is related to that of money, that is the Hui, since it was spoken of as your objective in calling the Hui to collect money for the church, sleeping quarters, telephones and other things. It may be that the hui will bring in so many hundred pounds but hundreds, perhaps thousands will go on the expenses of the hui. Our hui is very large and the expenses will also be very large. It has been said that this will be the last such hui. That is well said. If you want some money for a meeting house or something you should appoint an honest person to look after that money, and each person should give their shillings for that cause to him, and most of the money should not be wasted on food and on entertainment. If it is for some Church purpose that money is being collected, the best thing is to do what Paul advised the people of Corinth to do which was to set apart an amount every Sunday and when it had grown into a large amount to give it to that project.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Synod.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Bishop would very much like the Maori clergy to come to Napier to the Synod every year. But that gives rise to a problem, which is this: the Pakeha parishes give money to the Synod to defray the expenses of the minister when he comes to Synod so that he is not burdened with them, but the Maori parishes do not do the same. The Diocese has met the costs incurred for Maori in past years but it cannot continue to do that. The suggestion is that the Maori parishes should do the same as the Pakeha parishes. The money from a parish should correspond to the strength of the parish and the parishes with money should help the poorer parishes. And, whether the parish is nearby or far away, the money provided for that parish should reflect its strength, so that all your ministers can attend the Diocesan Synod.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Church.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enough about money! Let us turn our thoughts to the spiritual side of the Church. The reason why the Bishop spoke as he did saying that all the clergy should attend the Synod was his perception of the Church as one Church. Although we speak of the Maori Church let us remember that that is a misleading expression. There is not a Maori Church or a Pakeha Church, the Church is one, just as there is only one body of Christ. His body is not divided into two. God has not regard for the colour of a person’s skin, whether it be white or red or whatever. When a person has been baptised he has become a member of Christ, and we are one body, the whole Church of Christ. And, although the Pakeha section has begun talking about a particular thing let us not mistakenly think that that matter affects only that section; indeed if one part suffers the whole body suffers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Bible.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One thing that is being widely discussed by the Pakeha section of the Church is the Bible. The matter under discussion is the Government’s school legislation which will remove the Bible from our children’s schools. We are saying that it is not a good thing to ban talk of God and the learning of his book so that the children of our schools are not conversant with them. There is being arranged a petition from the whole nation to the Government to do away with that bad provision and to open up the schools so that discussion can take place in them of the things that enhance the lives of our children and not just their bodies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A society for men has been established by the Church. It is for those men who are committed to the work of the Church. There are two main rules of that group – work and prayer. If a man joins that society he is undertaking to do some task for the Church and also to pray every day that the Church will pursue what is good and will also climb upwards. Most Church members cannot join that society – it is not for a person whose heart is not in the work, <b>[13]</b> but there is no reason why a Maori man cannot join if he agrees to the two rules – work and pray.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One job for a man is that of a minister. Three of the Maori clergy of the Diocese have died. The Bishop has arranged that Pine Tamahori replaces Paraone, and Matenga Keepa replaces Nikora. Wi Paraire has been moved to Te Rau College to replace Pine. However, no replacements have been found for Wi and Matenga. This is one of the problems facing the Church – the lack of young educated and able men to enter the ministry. Many young people of this area went to college in the past, but now there are none from here considering the ministry; they have all branched out into sheep farming and such things. What people want is to get wealth, but it is a far better thing to help others on the path of righteousness. And the work of ministry is one of doing good for people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Congregation.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One thing that makes a minister dispirited is the indifference of people to worship. It is not just by attendance at church that God is served and glorified. No, worship requires the involvement of heart and soul. If a person’s heart is really intent on worship he will not like to remain silent during worship but will want to have the books so that he can worship with heart and mind. In such a way God is glorified.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Choir.</i></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Part of our worship is singing hymns. Maori people have shown an inclination to have choirs to sing hymns at morning and evening prayers. Let us be careful lest we mistakenly think that hymn singing is only for the choir; no, it is for the whole congregation. However don’t select a hymn tune that all cannot sing, lest most people stand there dumb. A word also for the choir. Do not think that your work is just to sing the hymns and that is all. My friends, gentlemen and ladies, a hymn is useless when it comes to saving people. If you think that your only part is to sing hymns then it is a waste of time standing in church. I have seen some choirs that sang the hymns beautifully but they were not involved with what the hymns were about, they were not involved with the word of the faith. My friends, do not your spirits lead you to believe and to pray to God? If a person does not believe in God, if they do not pray to him, then it is not good for them to join the choir, for it is part of the Church of God.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One thing that will foster a heart that appreciates worship is a person’s private prayer to God in the morning and evening. There is a small book available to help people with private prayer. But the good thing is that we remember God and that he is our Father; then we will want to talk to him, to use our own words of praise, to tell him our problems, the things we don’t want to reveal to others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But things are not right with a person’s heart if they are only concerned with themselves. Let us remember Christ’s command to preach the Gospel to the whole world so that all might believe in him. It was because people obeyed that command that the Gospel came to this country. We have been given it and we are to give it to others. You heard the speech of the Bishop of Melanesia on Thursday. We have seen him. Let us commit ourselves to being his backbone, his support; let us pray that God will strengthen him and his fellow workers; and let our prayers support the cause and give to help the work; and perhaps we will find someone to go and work with him. The Bishop said that one part of the work in the Islands was preaching the Gospel, but there were other jobs that needed doing to strengthen the impact of the preaching of the Gospel. Not everyone is an Apostle like Paul – some must provide food, some must sail the steamship that sails between the islands, and some do other things.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 27th March we heard of a disaster which came upon the people of a place in America called Ohio. It came about perhaps because of the shattering of the reservoirs, those water sources that have been dammed up to provide water for the town. When they shattered a huge amount of water engulfed the towns. When the reservoir at Hamilton gave way a thousand people were lost in the water. Seven thousand are without homes. This came about when the rivers were full to the brim and the water broke through in that one place. The bridges were smashed down, the houses submerged in water, and the people died. It is thought that 2,000 people perished in the water. Three-storey houses were engulfed in the water. A school with 4,000 pupils was covered and it is thought that all 4,000 children died. This is a terrible tragedy. Two thousand people are homeless.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The carpenter who oversaw the building was Aperahama Matawhaiti, the ancestor of Heni Materoa. Paratene Turangi, another ancestor of Heni Materoa, and others, carved the timbers. Nearly 60 posts were carved. Three posts supported the ridgepole. All the logs were hauled in by people. The work began in 1849. In 1850 the hapu of Ngatikahungunu from Te Wairoa arrived bringing food for the workers. When the frame was raised it stood for a few years unfinished. It was some years afterwards that it was fully completed. In 1865 it was consecrated by the first Bishop of Waiapu, Bishop William Williams, the father of Bishop Williams. The tribes that attended the consecration were Ngatikungunu and Ngatiporou. The money collected was £300. This money was presented by the elders for the work of the Church in the Diocese. This great work was completed by the elders who were impelled by their faith to do the work. It is wonderful that no money was used because they did all the work themselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The second at Manutuke.</i> In 1888 the second Manutuke was built. The first Manutuke was rotting and falling down. However the carved upright slabs were used in the second Manutuke. This was the building that was burned down. It had been consecrated in 1889 by Bishop Stuart, the Bishop of Waiapu at that time. The money collected at this consecration, £200, was given for the work of the Diocese.</span></div>

The building was the work of the Pakeha but the wall slabs were carved by Maori. The carvers were Te Ngaru (Te Arawa), Te Tuhi (Tuhoe) and Te Ipu (also of Te Arawa). It is a very beautiful building and one that will stand for a long time as the foundations and the walls are all of bricks [kohatu – stone].</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What makes a person’s life worthwhile is if the thoughts of their heart, the words of their mouth, and all that they undertake, conform to God’s will. So it is right that a child should learn early what God requires a person to do, and the way in which those things can be done. This learning is not something that just grows in a person’s heart. God sent his Son to reveal to people the pattern of how one serves God and also other people rightly when they are living in this world, and to give a hope of life beyond death where there is no sorrow or suffering and nothing hurtful can draw near.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We in New Zealand have a great treasure in that schools for children have been built in every area, and no child can miss out on education. But one thing is missing in these schools. In 1877, Parliament laid down a law that schools should be erected in every inhabited place. The things that law provided for were only the things of the body; learning about things on the spiritual side was rejected. The children were to be instructed to hold on to good practices, not to be mischievous, and not to do wrong to their fellows, but the law forbade the pupils being taught during school hours anything to do with the source of learning about the greatest example of good behaviour, about the things a person should believe if they are to do God’s work, that is, the Holy Scriptures.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For thirty-six years children have not been able to learn about the Bible in schools – and most people in New Zealand think that this is not right. The General <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">S</span>ynod of the Church of England, and the Conferences of the Presbyterians and Wesleyans, have asked Parliament to hold a vote on this matter at the time of the General Election, asking each elector to approve or disapprove of children reading the Bible in schools, and to arrange a time during school hours when the minister or some other teacher from each Church may go into the school to teach the children of the people of their own Church.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was a man in America called Solomon Spaulding. It is said that he was a minister of the Presbyterian Church. When he became ill he was not able to work and sought some way to occupy himself. He made up a story, the kind of thing that in English is called a ‘novel’. He named his book, ‘Manuscript, Found’, the story being that the book was found when the earth was being dug over. The story concerned some members of the Twelve Tribes of Israel (who had been carried off by force by the King of Assyria), and afterwards crossed to America and settled there. He sent this book to the printers to be printed but most of them did not accept it. It was to be sold as light, pleasant reading and the proceeds were to provide him with a living. The book had not been printed when he had a relapse and died in 1816.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The book lay in the print shop. Later a man called Sidney Rigdon came into that print shop. When he discovered Solomon Spaulding’s book he re-wrote it, taking out some parts and adding some chapters from our Bible. He took the book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joseph Smith was born in 1805. When he grew up it is said he became a wandering man without a fixed occupation. He said of himself that he was a clairvoyant and that he knew how to find treasures hidden in the earth. He had a wife, just like himself. They made a practice of sleeping during the day, then getting up at night, going to places he indicated, and digging there in search of buried treasure. When Sidney Rigdon met him he befriended him and showed him Solomon Spaulding’s book. After they had been together for a long time the discovered a way of making names for themselves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1826 Joseph Smith began to talk about six gold tablets [?<i>paharahara</i>] lying in a stone box which an angel had revealed to him. He did not know how to open it so it remained unopened. Later, in 1827, he said that the angel had given him that stone box and had said that within the box were some golden tablets on which were stories of the ancient people who settled that land, America; there were also two clear stones, like glass, mounted on silver. Those stone were called Urim and Thummim and were to enable the eyes to read the inscriptions on the tablets. The language of those writings, according to Joseph Smith, was an ancient language of Egypt, but although he did not know that language, when looked at through the clear stones the writings changed into English. From this one sees the abundance of his lies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two men are said to have written down the stories told them by Joseph Smith; the first was Martin Harris, and afterwards, Oliver Cowdery. The corner of his house was screened off with a blanket; he sat on one side with his tablets and dictated the stories to the scribe sitting on the other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the writing was completed it was sent to be printed; it was printed in 1830. Martin Harris gave the money for the printing. Then it was discovered that those stories were the stories in Solomon Spaulding’s book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The stone box and the clear stones were never seen by anyone. At the beginning of the printed book are the declarations of some eleven people averring that they had seen with their eyes the gold tablets spoken of by Joseph Smith as the source of the Book of Mormon. However, subsequently some of them were said by disciples of Joseph Smith to have been deceitful, dishonest, liars, and wicked, and Joseph Smith threw them out of the Mormon Church, to be beaten by the devil. Some sought afterwards to see the gold tablets and that fellow said that they had been snatched away by the angel and so were lost. It was an effort on his part to hide his deceptions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">AN ACCIDENT ON MOUNT RUAPEHU.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 27th March news arrived of a young man having got lost on Mount Ruapehu and having died there. Before this tragedy occurred, Ruapehu and its many peaks could be clearly seen; the mountain was flying its flag. But on the Monday just before this accident the whole mountain was covered with snow. It was as if a huge white calico sheet had been spread over it. It was right that it was calico; it was the calico winding-sheet of Napier Bingham. This young man was twenty-one years old and had recently passed his final exams to become a Chemist (a person who mixes medicines). <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many people get lost on Ruapehu but there has been nothing comparable with what happened to Napier Bingham. </span>There were many in the party that climbed. Some were from Auckland and some were from Ohakune at the foot of Ruapehu. They began their ascent on the Sunday after Good Friday. When they began their climb the mist came down. They thought that when the sun became stronger it would clear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But the fog became thicker. By the middle of their climb it was very thick. This was the start of the trouble. They began to go around in circles. No-one amongst them knew that place and so that could get no idea as to where they were. They had no food. This was the main problem. At night they lit a large fire for themselves. They did not get much sleep. On the Monday they split up. Some of them were keen to climb to the top of Mount Ruapehu and see from there the lie of the land and so know the way they should go. Some climbed on, leaving behind a woman called [Mademoiselle] Coche and Napier Bingham. Their sustenance at this time was a piece of pudding and a small bottle of whisky. They shared them. a little being given to each. Some of them gave Bingham six matches saying that in an emergency he should light a fire. When they had gone Bingham and his female friend <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">stayed toget<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">he<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r. </span></span></span>This was the point at which the two of them disappeared; the others arrived home. Of the two of them, only the lady escaped.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The whole story of Bingham was told by his friend, Mademoiselle Coche. Mademoiselle Coche said that the first problem they had was that they were unable to light a fire with the six matches left by their friends. Then the two of them set out and they followed a river. Subsequently she learned that it was Manganuiateo, a treacherous river with steep banks, rocks, and all kinds of other hazards. Here Bingham died. When they arrived at a steep part of the river Bingham tried to jump across to the other side but did not manage it. It happened that below the place where he jumped there was a rock sticking out. When he fell he struck his head on the sharp point of that rock and was killed. When he emerged in the pool below that steep place he was dead. Then he disappeared in that dark water. Mademoiselle Coche wandered in the bush and crossed over that place. When she emerged she was exhausted; her feet and hands were badly damaged. Following Mademoiselle Coche’s instructions a search party looked for Bingham. When they reached the place they found his hat and his staff. By going along and probing, eventually they found his body in the dark water. With great difficulty his body was brought to Ohakune by the men who went to look for him. The death of this man was very sad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today, 12th February, news has arrived of the tragedy that happened to Captain Scott and his companions who died on their quest to reach the southern extremity of the world, [the South Pole]. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You may perhaps remember the item in an edition of our Pipi telling how a man, Captain Amundsen, had reached that place and had planted there the flag of his nation, Norway, to show that he had reached the spot. You will remember the account of his journey and his return. This was the place that Captain Scott and his companions were seeking to get to. They did get there but on their return journey disaster struck their party. They were buffeted by the snow. Captain Scott was one of those who died first followed by the others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Captain Amundsen heard that that man had died, he said, ‘This is terrible news, but I thought that this is what may have happened to them.’ He spoke in this way because he was aware that he had travelled in that place without being battered by the snow which Captain Scott and his companions had to contend with, but there is the possibility that they may have been afflicted by some terrible illness. In January last year Captain Scott and his companions reached the South Pole. It is known that they got there from the accounts left by Captain Scott and the evidence of the signs mentioned in those writings. Captain Amundsen saw those accounts of his and the evidences also and confirmed that they were true, saying ‘This is the place at which I left the flag of my people, the Norwegians, hanging.’ This is a tragedy for the English, but all places are lamenting this tragic event and expressing their sympathy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On this day, 12th February, we have at last received the whole story of the disaster that came upon Captain Scott and his companions. We have been made aware of the bravery of this people, the Pakeha, who have no fear of death in the pursuit of glory and honour for their nation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Captain Scott chose four men as his companions to go the South Pole and most of their party returned by the path to their original camping place. The names of the men Captain Scott chose as his companions were:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On January 18th this year the Terra Nova, Captain Scott’s ship arrived at Cape Evans. It returned to New Zealand and then went back again. When it returned we heard accounts of what had happened to the people there. On 18th January, 1912, Captain Scott and his companions reached the South Pole. But when he and his companions were returning all of them were struck down by misfortune. Captain Scott, Dr Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers were frozen to death on 29th March, 1912. Captain Oates also died of the cold on 17th March. He was the second to die. Evans died following an accident in which he damaged his head. He was the first to die. He died on February 17th.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Captain Scott’s objective was that he and his companions would reach one of their camps on March 10th, 1912. As they neared that place, Doctor Atkinson remembered and sent men to go to meet Captain Scott and his companions. Doctor Atkinson was in charge of those left behind. Cherry-Garrard and Dimitri went with their two sledges and dog teams. On March 3rd Cherry-Garrard and Dimitri reached a camp called One Ton, but after a week there they returned because the dogs for the sledges had eaten the food and the weather was terrible. On March 16th they and their dogs reached Hut Point, one of their main staging posts where those left behind were waiting for Captain Scott and his companions. When the two of them finally arrived the feet of their dogs were all frost-bitten by the snow. Several parties attempted to go to meet the [Polar party] but without success and were near to suffering a tragic end themselves.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After Winter, on October 30th, Doctor Atkinson sent out further parties to find them. The search party was divided in two. Dr Atkinson, went with Cherry-Garrard and Dimitri and their dog teams. The other party was made up of Wright, the leader, and his seven companions with their seven mules. Sufficient food was provided to last them for three months. Doctor Atkinson went with his party and Wright with his. Wright made good progress on the way. They reached one of Captain Scott’s depots and found it still in a good state and the food was still there. In November, on the 12th day they got on to a path – an old path, one they knew well. They had not travelled far when they saw Captain Scott’s tent standing there. When they reached the tent they found Captain Scott of the Royal Navy, Dr Wilson, and Lieutenant Bowers, lying frozen inside. Also lying there were Captain Scott’s papers telling of all that they had done from the time they set out for the South Pole up until the time they died. This account is from those papers:</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Captain Oates was the second of us to die. He was suffering badly with frostbite to his hands and feet, but whatever he was going through he remained stouthearted. On March 16th his friends realised he was not going to live, but he was courageous right up to the hours of his death. He did not wail or complain or anything – a sign of his bravery.</span></div>

</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is what Captain Scott wrote about Oates. He was a very brave man. The manner of his sleep was as if he was beginning a long sleep from which he hoped not to awake in the morning. But he was up at the crack of dawn. As he was going out into the blizzard Oates said, ‘I am going out, and once I am outside who knows what will happen.’ [‘I am just going outside and may be some time. – Scott’s Diary] When he went out that was the last we saw of him. Captain Scott wrote in his Diary: "We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to dissuade him, we knew it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After Oates’ death, Captain Scott, Doctor Wilson and Bowers headed north. Because the weather was so dreadful they did not travel far and they stopped where their tent was found with their bodies inside. The blizzard and lack of food brought about their deaths.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some words to the whole world: The cause of this tragedy that has come upon us is not a fault with the organisation but the unfortunate circumstances that confronted us - the terrible weather - the melting of the ice that slowed us down – the sickness of the animals that carried food – having to climb the icy heights where Evans fell, cracking his skull. We suffered a great deal as we climbed that icy mountain. It was the result of the strength of the blizzard, the cold on that mountain, and the driving wind in our faces. ‘It is clear to me that these circumstances came on very suddenly and our wreck is certainly due to this sudden advent of severe weather, which does not seem to have any satisfactory cause.’</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘I do not think human beings ever came through such [conditions] … and we should have got through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of our second companion, Captain Oates, and a shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I cannot account, and finally but for the storm which has fallen on us within eleven miles of this depot, at which we hoped to secure the final supplies.’ We cannot go out and the food we have left is sufficient for two days. ‘For four days we have been unable to leave out tent, the gale blowing about us.’</span></div>

But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honour of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for. Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale’ after us.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Preparations for the great Hui to be held here at Manutuke are progressing. Holy Trinity, the church which is the focus of the Hui, is completed. All its carved posts have been installed. It is a beautiful building and wonderful to see, including its carvings. It would take an expert to detect any flaws in this building, if there are any. It will reveal itself to you when you come to the dedication. It is better than any accounts you may have heard. The Dining Hall is now all completed. It is five chains in length. There are thirty-two tables and those tables are 24 feet or more in length. More than seven hundred people will be served at each sitting.</span></div>

So many potatoes are heaped up, they won't all be consumed at the gathering.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The main reason why Te Rauparaha went was the cursing by Ngatiruanui of the daughter of Te Puoho, a leading chief of Ngatitama. Te Puoho’s mother was from Kawhia and his father from Taranaki. When Puoho heard of the cursing of his daughter, he sent a messenger to Te Ao-o-te-rangi, a chief of Ngatitahinga who lived at the mouth of the Waikato. That man was a relative of Te Puoho. When Te Ao-o-te-rangi heard about the curse, he sent messengers to Ngatiwhatua and Ngapuhi. The chiefs of Ngatiwhatua were Tuwhare and his father, Taoho, and there were some Hokianga chiefs – Moetara, Patuone and Nene. The chiefs of Ngapuhi and Ngatiwhatua came to Kawhia where they were joined by Te Rauparaha, Te Rako, and Te Pehi and other Ngatitoa chiefs – they made a complete war party. There were one hundred Ngapuhi altogether. They arrived in Taranaki where they were asked by Ngatiawa of Waitara to go and attack the people of Taranaki. Two Taranaki pa fell to that war party of Ngapuhi, Ngatitoa and Ngatiwhatua. The names of those captured pa were Tataraimakaa and Panikau.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The war party returned to Waitara and were asked by the people of Waitara to go inland of Waitara to attack Ngatimaru. The Ngatimaru pa, Te Kerikeringa, was overthrown. They went swiftly on to Ngatiruanui – the main objective for which they came. When they arrive, all Ngatiruanui had fled to the mountains. The pa were open and there was no-one in them. They went on to Whanganui. When they arrived at Whanganui not a single person was at the Whanganui river mouth. They had all run to the mountains and up the Whanganui River. Then they went on to the territory of Ngatiapa and attacked the people of Whangaehu, Turakina and Rangitikei. There was no attack on Manawatu: the people had fled to the mountains; some had fled to the Hawkes Bay area. They moved on towards Horowhenua without seeing anyone; the people had scattered to the mountains. There was no-one at Otaki when they arrived there. On they went to Waikanae where, again, they found no-one. Some of the people from these districts of Otaki and Waikanae had gone to the island of Kapiti and some to Pukerua, where a large pa stood. There were eight hundred people all told in that pa. When the war party arrived at Waikanae they saw the fire burning on Kapiti and crossed in canoes to Kapiti. When they arrived the people had gathered in the pa. There were all together four hundred people in that pa. The name of the pa was Te Hape. The war party attacked it. When the people of the pa realised how weak they were they made peace. While the party of Te Rauparaha and the others was staying at Kapiti, one of the people of the tribe went to the members of the tribe living at Pukerua and told them to break out of the pa and go to the mountains. The tribe did not take his advice. Then Te Rauparaha and the others went by canoe to Pukerua and fought against that pa. The people of the pa were very strong. After many days of fighting the pa fell. All that tribe were killed; very few survived, those who fled to the mountains.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the people of that pa heard that that pa had fallen, the people of Porirua escaped to the Wairarapa. And when the people of Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara [Wellington Harbour] heard that that pa had fallen and that all the people had died, they also fled to the Wairarapa. When the war party of Te Rauparaha and the others reached Porirua there were no people; all the pa stood empty. They paddled their canoes out to sea. When they arrived at Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara there were no people and all the pa stood empty. They went on in their canoes until they arrived at Mukamuka where they found karaka berries and they landed to cook the karaka. The karaka berries were so plentiful that they divided into groups. During the night the Ngatikahungunu attacked. They came upon the camp of some Ngapuhi and killed them; then Ngatikahungunu ran onto the mountain. When the greater part of the party arose in the morning they went to find others of the party only to discover that they had been killed in the</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ngatikahungunu raid; many had died, men and women. The war party was outraged and went to the Wairarapa. When they came across people they occupied the land. When they saw the war party and how small it was they immediately went into battle. One went one way and one another way. When the two met, the war party leapt into action and the local people were struck down; many, many were laid on the ground. This battle was given the name, Mawhitiwhiti.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Rauparaha heard the Ngapuhi chiefs talking among themselves, saying that they should quickly return to Ngapuhi, and that they could return by ship if they seized Wellington wharf for themselves. Te Rauparaha said to his people, Ngatitoa, that they should quickly return and take Wellington wharf for themselves. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Te Rauparaha arrived at Kawhia he began to fight against Ngatimaniapoto and Waikato. The war went on for a year, from May 1818 until May 1819. It is known that it was May because it was also winter, which also takes in June according to the Maori way of reckoning. It was winter, that is, the month of May when Ngatimaniapoto made peace with Te Rauparaha. The land lay free of conflict. Te Rauparaha moved on to Taranaki and stopped at Mimi. Waikato heard that Te Rauparaha had moved on and was at Mimi, and they thought that they could defeat him. Waikato followed Te Rauparaha and his tribe, Ngati Toa, to where they were living at Mimi. They met in battle. Waikato was defeated by Te Rauparaha and his people and many Waikato chiefs were killed. Potatau Te Wherowhero was permitted to live by Te Rauparaha. When Potatau Te Wherowhero returned to Waikato he built his pa, Matakitaki. That pa was just completed when Hongi and his tribe along with Ngapuhi arrived. The pa was taken and many people of Waikato died. That was in 1822.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Rauparaha left Taranaki that year, 1822, and went on to Patea. Te Rauparaha sent some of the men of his tribe to ask the people of Waitotara to give him some canoes. No canoes were given and the messengers were killed. The names of those men who were killed were Hape, Te Whatuatepo, and Te Rangi-i-runga. This man was Te Rauparaha’s son-in-law. When Te Rauparaha discovered that his men had been killed, he and his people went and destroyed that tribe; only those who fled to the mountains survived. The canoes which had been withheld were all taken by Te Rauparaha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Rauparaha left Patea and travelled to the southern tip of the island. He did not provoke a battle with Whanganui because Te Rangiwhakarurua and Turoa were related to Te Rauparaha. When Te Rauparaha and his tribe came to Whangaehu, Turakina and Rangitikei, they did not provoke a battle with that tribe because Te Piki, a chiefly woman of Ngatiapa was married to Te Ranighaeata, Te Rauparaha’s nephew. On Te Rauparaha’s first journey with the Ngapuhi chiefs, Te Piki had been taken as a wife for Te Rangihaeata. Instead Te Rauparaha and his people went on to Horowhenua where they came upon Muaupoko living there. Te Rauparaha went with Te Poakai and their children, Te Rangihoungariri, Te Uia and Taiko, into the Muaupoko pa, the pa of the local people, with a proposal that they should live together and become one people with Ngatitoa. Muaupoko thought that that would mean that they would become slaves, and they struck down Te Poakai and their children. Te Rauparaha escaped alive. This provided a pretext for the destruction of Muaupoko. Fortunately they had the idea that if they moved swiftly they would at least be left with a few people. Ngatitoa left the mainland and paddled in the canoes to Kapiti Island to live. They had not been living on Kapiti for long when they ran short of food and paddled the canoes to Waikanae to dig fern roots to eat. They were attacked by war parties of Muaupoko and others, who were living in the mountains. A Ngatitoa chief, Tangahoe, and some chiefly women of Ngatitoa were killed. Pohe and Tiaho died. Ngatitoa returned to Kapiti. All these things happened to Ngatitoa in 1823.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not many days after the death of Tangahoe a ship was seen sailing a little way from Kapiti; Ngatitoa pursued it in a canoe. On reaching the ship, Te Pehi climbed on board and went as far as England. The Pakeha called him Pehi Kupa.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1824, all the tribes from Whanganui, Ngatiapa and Rangitane, Muaupoko, Ngatikahungunu in the Wairarapa, and the tribes of the eastern part of Te Waipounamu, determined to destroy Ngatitoa who were living on Kapiti. They had observed that they were not many in numbers. They went secretly by night, arriving by night on Kapiti Island, and attacked Waiorua, which is the name of the eastern end of of that island. However, although they had arrived at night they were seen by Ngatitoa: the people of Ngatitoa who lived on the hills close to the sea heard the noise of the shingle on the shore as the canoes of the war party came to land, as well as the tramp of feet of many going where? Indeed the noise of the waves breaking ashore is different from <b>[6]</b> that of the shingle; likewise the sound, the crunch of shingle is different when it is trodden by human feet. Ngatitoa was aroused and struck down that crowd, leaving the bones to be piled up on the shore by the sea, likewise the very large canoes were left on the shore to be battered by the sea for want of men to get on board. This was the battle that ended the efforts of the tribes of Aotearoa to provoke Te Rauparaha to war. The name of the battle was Whakapatai. From this time the land was at peace from Rangitikei to Wellington in the hands of Te Rauparaha and his tribe, Ngatitoa.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From 1825 Ngatiraukawa and Ngatiawa began to settle in that area. In 1825 Te Pehi Kupa returned from England. His ship made land at Hakaroa. Te Pehi met up with Tamaiharanui there. Tamaiharanui boarded Te Pehi’s ship and they sailed together to Kaikoura. Tamaiharanui landed there. Tamaiharanui said to Te Pehi, ‘Go to Kapiti and then return and see me.’ Te Pehi agreed. Te Pehi’s ship sailed and stopped at Kapiti. Te Pehi learned of the defeat of the tribes of that area by Ngatitoa. He was happy that the killing of his father, Tangahoe, had been avenged. Some people from Ngatikoata also came to Kapiti; Rangitoti came to see Te Pehi. He spoke to Te Rauparaha and told him, Wharepuni said that if you cross to Hoiere he will batter you to death with a fern pounder.’ When Te Rauparaha heard that saying he was angry, but he nurtured that word in his heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1827 the wife of Te Rangihaeata had an affair with Te Kekerengu, a Ngatikahungunu chief from the Wairarapa. Te Kekerengu was half Ngaitahu. Kekerengu and his people fled to Kaikoura. When he arrived at Kaikoura he said to the people of that place that he was being pursued by Te Rauparaha who intended to kill him. Rerewaka said, ‘If he comes here his stomach will be ripped open with a shark’s tooth.’ Not long after, Te Rauparaha’s war party arrived at Kaikoura but the people of that pa, Kaikoura, did not realise it was a war party. They thought they were canoes from another village in their district, so they grabbed the skid-rollers and pointed out the good place for the canoes to come ashore. As the canoes sailed on the waves to land Te Kekerengu recognised the people. He did not call out to those Kaikoura people, ‘It is an invading army.’ But he and his people ran quietly into the mountains. When the canoes came ashore Ngaitahu realised it was a war party. The people just stood there; they did not bestir themselves to seek revenge. The war party just seized that tribe. But the tribe was not put to death by Te Rauparaha. Only two died, Panewhai and Te Paewhiti, the leading Kaikoura chiefs. Neither of them wanted to be taken prisoner and so both started to fight and they were killed by Te Rauparaha. However, Rerewaka, who said that Te Rauparaha’s stomach would be ripped open with a shark’s tooth, was allowed to live by Te Rauparaha. Te Rauparaha said that they should return from Kaikoura. Te Pehi said to Te Rauparaha that they should go to Kaiapoi to see Tamaiharanui. Te Rauparaha consented to Te Pehi’s proposal. Te Rauparaha and Te Pehi did not give a thought to the blood of Panewhai and Te Paewhiti which they had shed. They went to Kaiapoi. There was a Ngapuhi chief living there; he had sailed there on a ship; his name was Hakitara. When he saw Te Rauparaha and his fellow chiefs he remembered the blood of Te Waero and Te Paeoterangi who were killed by Tuhourangi at Tarawera on the instructions of Te Rauparaha. These men were Ngapuhi chiefs. Hakitara urged the Ngaitahu chiefs to kill Te Rauparaha and his children and pointed out to Ngaitahu the leading Ngatitoa chiefs. But Te Rauparaha was a very cautious man and he told his family not to go into the pa. Te Pehi did not listen. While the war party was camped a little distance from the pa a messenger arrived from Tamaiharanui who invited Te Pehi to go into the pa. Te Rauparaha told Te Pehi not to go. Te Pehi did not listen. Te Pehi, Pokaitara and Te Aratanga went to the pa. When Hakitara saw them he said to Ngaitahu, ‘These are the leading chiefs of Ngatitoa: kill them.’ They were struck down and killed. But several other men had followed them and they also died with the chiefs. Two men escaped from inside the pa and survived; one was Te Iti and the other, Rerepare. When Te Rauparaha saw that his nephews had been killed he ordered his seventy men to attack the pa. For three days that party stormed the pa but they were unable to take it. Then Te Rauparaha and the others <b>[7]</b> returned to Kaikoura, got into their canoes, and sailed to Kapiti. After they had sailed from Kaikoura, Te Kekerengu knew that they had gone home, and Te Kekerengu also returned to the pa at Kaikoura. When the people of Kaikoura saw Te Kekerengu, they realised that it was because of that man that Te Rauparaha came to their land, and that Panewhai and Te Paewhiti had died, and that the nephews of Te Rauparaha had died, providing sufficient reason for removing them from this world. After their deliberations they rose up and struck down Te Kekerengu and his people. But Te Rangihaeata cared for Te Kekerengu’s son, Te Mihaoterangi, and his descendants are still alive and living in the Wairarapa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1829 Te Rauparaha heard of the death of Te Kekerengu and went with his war party to Kaikoura where he slaughtered that tribe, including their leading chief, Ngatakaihe. The name of that battle is Huiwaka. Te Rauparaha returned once again to Kapiti.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1830 Captain Stewart’s ship laid to off Kapiti and Te Rauparaha said that he would commission that ship as a way of getting to Hakaroa to kill Tamaiharanui. One of the Pakeha on board that ship was John Cowell who had lived as a young person in the Bay of Islands and who could speak Maori. He was the one who translated Te Rauparaha’s words to Captain Stewart. When Captain Stewart agreed the ship set sail and arrived at Te Hakaroa. The Pakeha were asked to fetch Tamaiharanui. When those Pakeha arrived, they did not tell Tamaiharanui that there were some Maori on board that ship. On arriving at the ship Tamaiharanui went down below with the captain with his wife and daughter. Tamaiharanui had not spent a few minutes with the captain when Te Rauparaha appeared. Te Rauparaha said to Tamaiharanui, ‘Your food is sitting waiting for you in the hold of this ship. Fetch it and kill it for you to eat.’ Tamaiharanui said to Te Rauparaha, ‘Fortunately I was able to seize Te Pehi and take my revenge for the unjustified deaths of Panewhai and Te Paewhiti. There is no longer a cause.’</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While Te Rauparaha was engaged in this conversation with Tamaiharanui his companions had not made an appearance on the deck of the ship. They did not want to be seen by the people on land. Because it was a dark evening they emerged onto the deck of the ship, got into the boats and went ashore. The people of the area did not know that this was the army. The war party attacked the pa. Two pa fell that night – Wainui was one, and Onawe the other. Many people died. Not a single person was allowed to live or was taken as a slave. Everyone they came upon was killed.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That tribe returned with their boat. They took Tamaiharanui and his wife alive with them. The two of them killed their daughter on the ship during the night. On their arrival at Kapiti, Te Rauparaha handed Tamaiharanui and his wife over to the wife of Te Pehi. They were killed at Waitohu, Otaki.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That year, 1830, Te Rauparaha heard that his nephews’ bones had been taken by Tuhawaiki, a man from Nelson, to make fish hooks. Te Rauparaha was distressed and recalled the words of Wharepuni about him – that he would be pounded to death with a fern crusher. He commanded his people to do away with the people on the eastern extremity of Te Waipounamu. Those tribes learned of this – Rangitane, Ngatikuia, Ngaitara, Ngaitumatakokiri – and gathered at Hikapu with one aim. When Te Rauparaha’s war party arrived, those tribes were struck down; the people who survived of those tribes were assigned as slaves to each person of Te Rauparaha’s tribe; their lands too were allocated to each person. They held them until 1853 when the eastern extremity of the island of Te Waipounamu was purchased from Ngatitoa for the Queen by Commissioner McLean.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In that year, 1830, when Te Rauparaha was fighting the tribes of the eastern extremity of the island of Te Waipounamu, he instructed men to go to Kaiapoi to Whakauira, the chief of Ngaituahuriri, a hapu of Ngaitahu. This was the hapu of that pa of Kaiapoi. This was his message: "You should remember the oven where you cooked my children, although their oven is swarmed over by insects, I will arrive again at Kaiapoi." Whakauira’s response was: ‘He will not emerge from the hail of bullets,’ that is, from the huge quantity of guns, powder and bullets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1832 Te Rauparaha ordered his army to Kaiapoi; it was very large. When they reached Kaikoura there was no-one there; there was just a party looking after the pa and they fell before the war party. The war party went on to Kaiapoi. When they arrived there the whole tribe had gathered in the pa. Taiaroa had also arrived in the pa. The war party launched an assault on the pa but it did not fall. The pa was besieged for two months but still did not lack food. [8] Then they dug the ditch; the ditches went back. When they reached the palisade of the pa they set about cutting manuka. The manuka was spread out to dry, tied into bundles, and carried to burn the pa with fire. But the tribe did not know what the manuka was for. The men were moving about in the trenches and the bundles of manuka were emerging over the top. They shot into the manuka but were unable to see the men. When they saw the huge quantity of manuka beside the palisade of the pa they at last realised that they intended to burn their pa with fire. They took long poles to push it away from the palisades, but how were they going to get rid of thousands of manuka branches? The pa was hidden under the manuka. Then the fire was lit and the pa was aflame. The pa fell and the people were struck down in the daylight and at night. When the pa had not yet fallen, Taiaroa thought that soon it would be conquered. Taiaroa asked Te Hiko for his thoughts: he had not been involved in Ngaitahu’s actions when Te Pehi was killed. Te Hiko told Taiaroa to get out of the pa with his brothers; they could get out at the place where he was standing. Taiaroa and his brother escaped from the pa, ten of them. After Taiaroa left the pa fell, consumed by the fire, and Whakauira and his people perished. Eight hundred people all told were in that Kaiapoi pa. The survivors of that pa were taken prisoner to be slaves. A few individuals ran to the south.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Kaiapoi fell the war party travelled on as far as Onawe killing the inhabitants of the land as they went.When they reached Onawe the people had gathered in their pa. The war party attacked it and Onawe fell. After the killing there were no original inhabitants left; they had all migrated to Murihiku and had fled to live on the islands, on Ruapuke and Rakiura. But while Ngaitahu were living at Murihiku, a Ngaitahu war party arrived at the eastern extremity of that island, Te Waipounamu. There was just one expedition of the Ngaitahu war party but in a short time Te Rauparaha was defeated at Kaparatehau. Te Rauparaha swam out to sea and survived. Most of the men clambered onto the land and were killed by Ngaitahu.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of them said, ‘Let him stay but don’t give him a line.’ They fished. A big fish took the hook of Maui-mua. He said it was a hapuku. Then Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga said quietly [secretly] that it was a shark. When it came up onto the canoe it was indeed a shark. A fish also took the hook of Maui-roto. He thought it was a hapuku. Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga said quietly that it was a butterfish and it was indeed a butterfish. When the brothers finished the only fish they had were the shark and the butterfish. Then he said, ‘Give me some bait.’ ‘It won’t be given.’ He clenched his fist and struck his nose so that it bled. He smeared the blood on the hook. He then cast it and it flew above the sea. The fish took it. The fellow pulled in his fish. It came to the surface. It was the land.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They returned home. Then this fellow decided to extinguish the fire of Mahuika. When it was night he proceeded to put out all the fires in the village. In the morning he called out, ‘I’m hungry.’ Someone went to fetch fire. None was to be seen. He returned and said, ‘There is no fire.’ Hine, the aunt of Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga, said, ‘Fetch some fire from Mahuika.’ Someone went to fetch fire from Mahuika. Mahuika gave him the little finger of her hand. Afterwards Maui went and met the man who had fetched the fire. Maui threw him into the water and the fire went out. He was tripped up to make people think he had slipped into the water. [Maui] went to Mahuika and she gave him one of her fingernails. Maui returned, came to the water, and extinguished the fire. He returned again to Mahuika; Mahuika gave him another of her fingernails. He went to the water and extinguished the flame. He returned again to Mahuika, and said, ‘My fire has gone out again.’ Mahuika gave her another of her fingernails. Maui kept on in this fashion. When [the fingernails] of one hand were all used up, she took them from the other hand. When those on that hand were used up she took the toenails from her feet. They were used up except for one that remained, the big toe. Mahuika realised what was happening and said to Maui, ‘You’re the man everyone speaks about?’ Maui said, ‘Yes.’ Then Mahuika attacked him with fire <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">from the remaining toen<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ail</span></span>. He turned into a hawk and fled. This incident gave rise to his proverb, ‘Maui who extinguishes fire.’ He flew squawking through the smoke of the fire, keeping to the sky. Then he summoned by incantation hail, [? rain – <i>ua ti</i>], very heavy rain [? <i>ua ta</i> – cf. <i>ua taataa</i> – very heavy rain – Williams], and streaming rain [? Parallel lines in the detail of carving, certain forms being known as <i>patapata nunui – Williams</i>]. There was lightning and thunder within. Mahuika’s fire was extinguished.

Maui and his brother-in-law went to a certain village and stayed there. When they were about to return Maui said to his brother-in-law, ‘Carry some food for us.’ ‘I’m alright!’ said his brother. The two of them went. Maui made the land stretch out so that his brother-in-law would get hungry. They travelled on. Maui had carried some food for himself. When they became hungry Maui sat down and ate his food, but his brother-in-law just sat there without any food. When he had finished eating, Maui said to his brother-in-law, ‘Come and catch my lice.’ The brother-in-law came and picked out Maui’s lice. Maui said, ‘Give me also your lice to catch.’ He lay down before Maui to have his lice picked out. But there was no catching of lice; he was tricked. He was put to sleep. Maui trod on his back, drew out a tail, and turned him into a dog. Maui fed him with shit. When Maui returned home, the women called, ‘Where is your brother-in-law?’ He said, ‘I left him here. Call out to him!’ The woman called our, ‘Where are you?’ Maui said, ‘He won’t hear that call.’ The woman said, ‘How should I call him?’ Maui said, ‘Doggy, doggy!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A story from the papers of George Grey.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the story of this man, Whakatauihu, that we heard. He was the bravest among the men of old. He would avenge the deaths of other people. Unavenged deaths, those unrequited - Whakatau would set about avenging such deaths. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As to his appearance, according to accounts, he was not big or tall but rather short. His eyes, when in battle or storming a pa, would bewitch people so that they would not see him enter the pa. By the time he was observed he would be inside fighting. If he were attacking a house, by the time he was seen he would be standing inside. He would strike someone in the house, laying him out. When the crowds saw him they would throng around. When he leapt in he would put out the fire – it was extinguished. Then he would spring outside and stand there, leaving the crowd inside beating each other, thinking [they were fighting] Whakatau: it was not so; the fellow was standing outside. The slabs of the door and window would have been closed and secured with a peg. There would be terrible confusion. He would be listening outside. They struck one another and all died one by one. Then that house would be set on fire and the crowd consumed by the fire. Whakatau would return, sailing across the ocean in his canoe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the people of the pa saw that house on fire they would emerge from their houses and stand in a line helpless. What could they do? The stomachs of men, women and children would be exploding as they were burned by the fire. It was thought that they were burned by their own fire. But then, in the morning they would turn and look out to sea. Lo, floating there were many of Whakatauihu’s party’s war canoes. Then they understood. ‘E, the war party has set fire to this house that has been burnt by the fire.’ <b>[2]</b> Then they would go to the shore to drag the canoes in order to pursue and fight a battle at sea, floating on the water. But the canoes would sink – they too had been chopped in pieces, they had been left in splinters. The outcome was that they would be standing helpless on the shore while the raiding party would be singing out at sea as they returned to their own home. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tangaroa lived with his wife Papatuanuku. He went to Kahuipuakiaki to the treasures of Whakitau. This Tangaroa returned and when he returned he found that his wife had taken up with Rangi. Tangaroa went for his spear. Rangi went for his spear. They approached each other and Rangi thrust at Tangaroa. Rangi’s weapon passed to one side. Tangaroa threw his spear at Rangi. The spear pierced the buttocks of the nephew, both buttocks, and quivered there. But the woman was given to Rangi, who lay there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rangi continued to lie there transfixed by Tangaroa’s spear, no yet able to stand up. Rangi and Papa lived together. They had children – Tane-kupapa-io, Tane-tuturi, Tane-tuwaiora, Tane-itematatu, Tane-tutaka. These were prostrate [were sickly – <i>Reed</i>]. Then Tane-muarangi and Paiao were born. These stood up [were healthy – <i>Reed</i>].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Tane and Paiao grew up they thought about their father, Rangi, still lying there. Paiao was determined to raise up Rangi. Tane said, ‘You will not do it. He is not a man.’ Paiao told him to get up. He said, ‘Get up!’ He was not yet able to but lay prostrate still. Tane called out, ‘Who is it up there?’ That Rangi called down, ‘[?<i>E tu pa whaia</i>!]’ He called down, ‘Who is it down there?’ ‘[?<i>E tu pa whaia</i>!]’ Tane called out, ‘Man, creep, ascend the mountain! Man, creep, ascend the mountain. Be separated by Tane!’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now Rangi was suspended with cords by Tane and held. Those who were to carry him came down. Tane looked at his father. Now there were no decorations. He went to Okehu where there were feathers. Tane fetched them and set about decorating Rangi. Tane went down again and looked; it was extremely dark. He went and returned to Okehu. He fetched the stars, brought them and arranged them.. He stretched out the Milky Way and put in place Panakoteau [a constellation}, the Pateri [the Magellan Clouds], Autahi [Canopus], the star of the season. He sat down and looked at his father and he was handsome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now Tane thought that there was no adornment for this [other] parent, Papatuanuku. He gave his fruits to decorate this parent - trees. He pointed the heads upwards; the feet he pointed downwards. He climbed up and looked. It was not yet befitting. He fetched the trees. [This time] he turned them upside down so that the heads were pointing downwards and the feet pointing upwards, He climbed up and looked and this time it was right. Now Rangi had been separated from his wife, Papatuanuku,. The love of the woman still goes out in greeting to her husband; that is the mist of the mountains drifting above. Rangi also weeps tears of love from above on Papatuanuku; that is the dew.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tane grew up and wanted a wife but could not find one. He went to Waimatatiki and to Maunganui but did not find anyone he liked. He went to Mautarere and to Punaweko but did not find anyone he liked there either. Tane returned and looked to his mother, Papatuanuku, to be his wife. His mother said, ‘No, you indeed are my child. Go! The woman for you is Hinehaone. Tane went and lived with that woman. A daughter was born; the name of that child was Hineatauira [<i>Also called Hine-titama-uri, she became Hine-nui-te-po after her flight from Tane.</i>]. When Hineatauira grew up, Tane lived with his child as his wife. Hineatauira did not know that Tane was her father. They had children – Tahu-whakairo, Tahu-otiatu, Tahu-kumea-te-po, and Tahu-kumea-te-ao.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now Tane decided to go and see his older brothers who lived above the sky; these were the children of Tangaroa and Papatuanuku. Tane went and searched. He looked for his older brother, Rehua. He came to a village in the sky [lit. above] and called out, ‘Is there no-one above?’ The men of the village said, ‘There are people above.’ ‘Is it possible for me to get there?’ ‘You will not be able to get there. The heavens have been marked off by a boundary by Tane.’ Tane broke through so that he was sitting on top of that heaven. Then he said, ‘Are there people above?’ ‘There are people.’ ‘May I not get there?’ ‘You will not be able to get there. The heavens have been fastened up, rendered inaccessible by Tane.’ Tane broke through so that he sat on top of that heaven. The same thing happened until he arrived at the tenth heaven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He came to the village of Rehua. His older brother, Rehua, came and wept his greeting unknowingly. Tane used this prayer as he wept:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Haul it outside, the mat of the heavens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because of this lament Rehua knew that this was his younger brother, Tane. When the lamentations were concluded Rehua said, ‘Light a fire.’ The fire was lit. ‘Bring calabashes.’ These were laid down in front of him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now Tane thought, ‘Where is the food for these calabashes that have been brought?’ Then Tane saw Rehua releasing tui [parson birds] from within his hair [<i>lit. head</i>] – his hair was tied up [on his head] – and he shook into the calabashes the tui which fed on the nits on his head. When the calabashes were full of tui they were taken to the fire for cooking. When they were cooked they were brought into the presence of Tane and set down beside him. He was told by his elder brother to eat. But he said, ‘I won’t eat. I saw them being released from your hair. Who would eat food that had fed on the nits on your head?’ Because of that Tane was afraid. As was the custom of people in the past, he did not eat and so survived.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tane went and came to the village of Nukuroa and Tamatea-kai-whakapua. Only two of the wives were there when he arrived, the husbands had gone rat hunting. Tane sat down as did one of the wives; the other declined. Food was prepared for him. The food was rat. He did not eat it. Tane asked, ‘Is this your husbands’ food?’ The women replied, ‘Yes.’ ‘Leave this food for your two chiefs, Tapuao and Hine-kitaharangi.’ Tane then told the two women to go to their husbands. The women went. When they reached them the two men were sitting. One said to them, ‘We sat down with a man; my friend declined but I did.’ Their husbands said, ‘Why did you decline and turn away?’ They talked and said, ‘Go to your man. Tomorrow the two of us will come.’ And, in the morning the two husbands came. They arrived at the village where Tane had stopped. They gave him food prepared on a spit. Tane did not want that food. It was of rat which had fed on their shit. Tane was not prepared to eat it, being afraid there, and following the wisdom of the past. Tane said to the two of them, ‘Is this food for your high chief?’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tane spent a long time in the villages above. Hine-ata-uira asked Papatuanuku, ‘Where is my husband?’ Papatuanuku said, ‘Your husband! He’s your father!’ Then Hine-ata-uira knew that Tane was her father. She was overwhelmed with shame and descended to the Darkness [Te Po – the Underworld].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Eventually Tane returned and came to his mother’s village. He asked, ‘Where is my wife?’ His mother said, ‘She is no wife for you. She has fled. She has descended to the Darkness. You said for her to stay and bring up your progeny.’ So Tane went and followed his wife. He went down into the underworld. He came to the house. He questioned the post of the house. It would not open its mouth. He questioned the facing boards of the house. They would not open their mouths. He was overcome with shame. He disappeared. He went around to the side wall of the house. The man of the house asked, ‘Where are you going, Tane?’ Tane said, ‘I am following our sister.’ The man of the house said, ‘Return, Tane, to the world to raise your offspring. Leave me in the Darkness to gather in our offspring.’ And so the world of light and the world of darkness had their beginning.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">RAUMATI.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Raumati’s dart was placed [<i>totaha</i> - <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">cf </span>Williams p.441] in the fire before being thrown.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Raumati arrived at Tauranga there was an outbreak of fighting here and many battles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reason why Raumati burned Te Arawa is not known. Why did he do it? When Te Arawa arrived here at Maketu they hauled it to the river-mouth at Maketu where it lay, sheltered by nikau fronds and toetoe. It was only when her chiefs had finished their sailing to Te Awa-a-te-atua, Tauranga and elsewhere that it was sheltered. The people then wandered to the districts of Rotorua, Taupo, Whanganui, Moetau and the Greenstone Sea. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most left Maketu, Waitaha and Tapuika, leaving few people. Raumati thought there was nobody [there]. When he set out to set fire to Te Arawa he came from Tauranga to the river-mouth known as Ngatoro. Tongariro was the source of this river. It split off from the river which flows to Waikato. It flows by way of Kaingaroa to Rotorua. Puarenga on the side to the south of Ohinemutu is where it disgorges and joins the currents of Rotorua. It flows out to Ohau and on to Rotoiti, entering as a waterfall. From there it goes on to Awarua, Kaituna and Maketu. Ngatoro is the name of the river-mouth where it joins the sea. Raumati <b>[4]</b> stood on one side [of the river]; Te Arawa lay on the other side. That man sought in vain to cross to the other side to burn it. How was he to cross? Then he thought to make an arrow which he finished at night. He threw it at that canoe. Lo and behold, it stuck in the nikau and toetoe covering. It was ablaze with fire. [?<i>hui</i>] Raumati’s arrow had previously been plunged in the fire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Raumati returned to Tauranga. Here the fighting started. There were many battles. Many Te Arawa pa fell to Raumati were put to death. After many generations Hatupatu and his brothers were born and the slaughter and the burning of Te Arawa were avenged.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE BURNING OF TE ARAWA</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the story of the burning of Te Arawa canoe by Raumati. The cause of his hatred towards Te Arawa goes back to Hawaiki. Raumati was a descendant of Uenuku. Uenuku was the enemy of Houmaitawhiti. The antagonism between them began in Hawaiki. The cause was the eating by Houmaitawhiti’s dog of the pus from Uenuku’s abscess. Uenuku killed the dog. After this was discovered, Hou’s sons ate the fruit of the shady <i>pooporo</i> [a fruit tree of Hawaiki] belonging to Uenuku. Uenuku saw where the stilts of Tamatekapua and his younger brother had pierced the soil. (These were the ones. It was disclosed before.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for Uenuku, his descendants were Hoturoa and Raumati. Their canoe was perhaps Tainui. (Some say Raumati was from Matatua.) As for Hou, his descendants were Tamatekapua, Hei, Tia, Maka, and Rongokako. Their canoe was Te Arawa. The place where Te Arawa landed first was Muri-i-whenua. He claimed the coasts of this island, the coastline to the north, and gave names to some small islands. He eventually reached Aotea and crossed over at Moehau, Ngatoroirangi's stone [?<i>whakariri</i>] is still to be found above Te Korokoro-o-te-Parata, this [place so] named is where the sky hangs down to the horizon. Rua brought this about. Why? Because his wife had been taken by Tama. This is the reason for the descent to Te Korokoro-o-te-Parata [the whirlpool]. It was because of Ngatoro’s prayers that the canoe was saved and returned here to Aotearoa. When they returned the pohutukawa tree had come into bloom in the seventh month so Tauninihi threw his red feather chaplet into the sea. They paddled to the shore. They sailed on from Motiti and landed at Maketu and stayed there. We wrote before of how the people on Te Arawa spread out to parts of Rotorua, Taupo, Whanganui and Ruatahuna leaving Hei at Maketu with his son, Tia. His son, Ngatoro, was at Motiti. Tainui had landed at Kawhia. Perhaps Raumati heard that Te Arawa was lying at Maketu. That man got up straight away and went with his hapu and stopped at Tauranga. In the evening he went to Maketu and when he arrived he found that it was sheltered on the other side of the river.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These men, Manaia and Manahua, were chiefs. Only Manaia was related to both Hou and Uenuku; Manahua only to Uenuku.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That was a saying of Manahua at the migration from Hawaiki. The sisters of Ngatoro and Tama were left behind in Hawaiki. The names of these women were Kuiwai and Haungaroa. It is possible that these women married Uenuku or his relatives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When these women were left far away, Ngatoro left there his staff to protect them. The name of this staff was that of the man who married them. The canoes were launched and the husband of those women went to spear birds. When he returned from spearing birds, he dumped his spear carelessly. Perhaps he was hungry after travelling far, returning he had gone a long way around. But his cries of hunger were not answered. Perhaps because of those circumstances his heart was bothered and he did not leave his spear to one side but left it rather on the path. Consequently, when Kuiwai went to set down food for the man she trod on it and, sure enough, the spear snapped and the point was broken off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was perhaps enough to cause strife between them..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When this was discovered, the news was delivered, ‘Man, your spear has been broken by Kuiwai.’ ‘Really broken?’ ‘Yes.’ Feelings of annoyance rose up indeed in the heart of that man. Suddenly he cursed that woman. The broken spear was used by the man to insult [their brothers]. ‘You two, that spear is the bones of your brothers,<b>[5]</b> Ngatoro and Tama.’ It became the cause of conflict between the man and those women. The women also became increasingly antagonistic towards that man. It was for a time a small matter but it grew. Those women said, ‘Do you think your indignation will be forgotten, addressing the two of us with such malevolence? [i.e. identifying the broken spear with Ngatoro and Tama].’ The man said, ‘Will my vexation with you disappear?’ The name of that man’s spear was indeed a great name, a man’s name, one of his enemies. So he gave his spear the name. The spearhead which speared birds was a man’s bone. The two women said to their husband, ‘Curse the two of us! Insult us! It will not come to pass by means of this thing, the heart of a woman. It's not as if our brothers are here to listen to the curses on them. As a result of that thing, the fruit of strife, they went, and the curse followed when they migrated.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Their husband said, ‘What are the two of you to me? Will I forget my anger towards you about my spear? Why should I not go, and not curse? Who will not be afraid for themselves here when they fear me and when they hear the curses directed at them? Is there any tapu [sacredness] about people who have become tramps? Tapu, cursing, and gods are abandoned. What are your brothers to me that they should not be cursed?’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The result was indeed that malice increased in the hearts of those women.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Without ceasing the tears of their eyes dropped down. They wept day and night. Their hearts were perplexed. They talked to each other and wept. And they discussed how they did not have a canoe in which to follow their migrating brothers. Haungaroa, the younger, said, ‘My friend, this what our brother said to me: he really said, “Afterwards, remember my staff lest you be abducted by anyone – lest you perish. My staff will protect the two of you.”’ The elder, Kuiwai, said, ‘But how are we going to act on what our brother said?’ Haungaroa, the younger, replied, ‘Let’s try it out as a canoe for the two of us and for our gods as well. We’ll take it and use it as a canoe to cross the open sea.’ The plan of those women relating to the place for them to escape to from the dizziness caused by the cursing of their husband was ready. Then Haungaroa performed ceremonial ablutions and incantations. When her recitation of charms was complete, she took Ngatoro’s staff and the gods and went to the sea. Lo and behold, it was as if the sea was land for that woman. She travelled on it. Then she returned to land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She finished her incantations. She finished her lifting of tapu. Then she said to her elder sister, ‘Friend!’ ‘What?’ ‘I have arranged what we were talking about – our project.’ The elder said, ‘But how?’ ‘Let’s go to visit our brothers.’ The two of them agreed. They prepared some food to sustain them, and gathered their clothes. When all was ready the elder said, ‘Are we going to leave our husband secretly?’ Her companion said, ‘No, let’s reveal to him that we are going to our brothers.’ Her friend said, ‘Will he not stop us?’ ‘No, after all where is the canoe for the two of us to sail in?’ They agreed. Then they announced to their husband, to the land, and to the people that they were going to leave their husband, the country and the people too, and follow their brothers. Thereupon there was a roar of laughter from the man and his people. He said, ‘Are you going to swim this ocean? Where is the canoe? Dream on!’ The women replied, ‘Listen all of you. You’ve no idea where the canoe is we’re going to travel in.’ The man and his people laughed again. He said, ‘Are you going to become birds and fly to your brothers; are you perhaps going to become gulls?’ The two of them replied, ‘Don’t laugh at us yet. Wait for few days and if we are still living here then you may laugh.’ Their husband said, ‘Who indeed is going to follow your brothers? Will you indeed pursue your brothers? They will come here for the toto ceremony. The mouth of the sacred place is open to bring [them] to be cooked on the great [? <i>Paapapa</i>] stones of Waikorora. Tomorrow, when the two of you arrive at Aotearoa, will not your brothers have arrived here to mourn?’ However those curses were not answered. By great effort those cursed with the ‘head’ curse held back their words [snatched the breath of the mouths].</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That night those women started out, taking with them the gods and the staff of their older brother, Ngatoro. They came here on the ripples of the waves, arriving at Nukutaurua, or perhaps Ahuriri. They travelled on land. They stopped to eat at a certain plain. They ate for a long time. That plain is called <i>Kaingaroa a Kuiwai raua ko Haungaroa</i> [Long eating of Kuiwai and Haungaroa]. When they came to the plain of Kapenga the climbed to the top of Piopio. They ate there. Her friend kept farting. The place was named Te Hemo [The Fart]. Some of these words have been written before.</span></div>

Manaia’s band of warriors was defeated. <b>[6]</b> This happened before. Now [we are concerned with] another defeat; this battle was called Ihu-moto-motokia. It was another defeat, the second time Manaia’s host was defeated. Some fell in the fighting in Hawaiki. Another happened when they had crossed to this island. This defeat was called Ihu-moto-motokia. Manaia’s forces were defeated twice. When dawn came there was another battle, Tara-i-whenuakura. There was another battle but we don’t know what it was called. When they returned here to Aotea, Ngatoro and his younger brothers were pursued by the warriors of Manahua. They crossed to this island. But they were still being pursued. This battle took place on the waves of the sea at Maikukutea. Manahua’s warriors were defeated. They were swept clean away by the descendants of Hou. It was handed down as a proverb and it is still quoted.</span></div>

He said it was a hapuku. Then Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga said quietly [secretly] that it was a shark. When it came up onto the canoe it was indeed a shark. A fish also took the hook of Maui-roto. He thought it was a hapuku. Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga said quietly that it was a butterfish and it was indeed a butterfish. When the brothers finished the only fish they had were the shark and the butterfish. Then he said, ‘Give me some bait.’ ‘It won’t be given.’ He clenched his fist and struck his nose so that it bled. He smeared the blood on the hook. He then cast it and it flew above the sea. The fish took it. The fellow pulled in his fish. It came to the surface. It was the land.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They returned home. Then this fellow decided to extinguish the fire of Mahuika. When it was night he proceeded to put out all the fires in the village. In the morning he called out, ‘I’m hungry.’ Someone went to fetch fire. None was to be seen. He returned and said, ‘There is no fire.’ Hine, the aunt of Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga, said, ‘Fetch some fire from Mahuika.’ Someone went to fetch fire from Mahuika. Mahuika gave him the little finger of her hand. Afterwards Maui went and met the man who had fetched the fire. Maui threw him into the water and the fire went out. He was tripped up to make people think he had slipped into the water. [Maui] went to Mahuika and she gave him one of her fingernails. Maui returned, came to the water, and extinguished the fire. He returned again to Mahuika; Mahuika gave him another of her fingernails. He went to the water and extinguished the flame. He returned again to Mahuika, and said, ‘My fire has gone out again.’ Mahuika gave her another of her fingernails. Maui kept on in this fashion. When [the fingernails] of one hand were all used up, she took them from the other hand. When those on that hand were used up she took the toenails from her feet. They were used up except for one that remained, the big toe. Mahuika realised what was happening and said to Maui, ‘You’re the man everyone speaks about?’ Maui said, ‘Yes.’ Then Mahuika attacked him with fire from the remaining toenail. He turned into a hawk and fled. This incident gave rise to his proverb, ‘Maui who extinguishes fire.’ He flew squawking through the smoke of the fire, keeping to the sky. Then he summoned by incantation hail, [? rain – <i>ua ti</i>], very heavy rain [? <i>ua ta</i> – cf. <i>ua taataa</i> – very heavy rain – Williams], and streaming rain [? Parallel lines in the detail of carving, certain forms being known as <i>patapata nunui</i> – Williams]. There was lightning and thunder within. Here Mahuika’s fire was extinguished. The life of that fire was thrown by her into the kaikomako tree.</span></div>

Maui and his brother-in-law went to a certain village and stayed there. When they were about to return Maui said to his brother-in-law, ‘Carry some food for us.’ ‘I’m alright!’ said his brother-in-law. The two of them went. Maui made the land stretch out so that his brother-in-law would get hungry. They travelled on. Maui had carried some food for himself. When they became hungry Maui sat down and ate his food, but his brother-in-law just sat there without any food. When he had finished eating, Maui said to his brother-in-law, ‘Come and catch my lice.’ The brother-in-law came and picked out Maui’s lice. Maui said, ‘Give me also your lice to catch.’ He lay down before Maui to have his lice picked out. But there was no catching of lice; he was tricked. He was put to sleep. Maui trod on his back, drew out a tail, and turned him into a dog. Maui fed him with shit. When Maui returned home, the women called, ‘Where is your brother-in-law?’ He said, ‘I left him here. Call out to him!’ The woman called our, ‘Where are you?’ Maui said, ‘He won’t hear that call.’ The woman said, ‘How should I call him?’ Maui said, ‘Doggy, doggy! [<i>Moi, moi</i> - a call for a dog]’ A dog came into the village waving his tail.</span></div>

He came down from the heavens and after he arrived here, Rongouaroa gave birth to her son, Rauru. It came about that this woman saw this man when she went to the water to wash her son’s afterbirth. When she got to the water she took off her clothes and went into the water. She was in the water. Tamarau-te-heketanga-rangi came up beside her. Although he was close to her she did not know that a man had been on the land because she had been looking in the water. Then she saw the reflection of a man in the water. She was startled at seeing the man’s reflection in the water. She went on looking – then, after a short time, she turned to look behind her. Alas, a man was standing at her back. He came close to her then leapt and pulled the mother to him. It was over. He returned to his home having said to that woman, ‘When your child, a son, is born, name him Awanui-a-rangi, which is the river by which I descended from the heavens.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last month Turkey and its enemies agreed to stop fighting. And arrangements were made between the two sides. Turkey agreed to give Bulgaria part of their territory, but they were unwilling to give up Adrianople. But this proposal was unacceptable to the Bulgarians and they said that they would continue fighting and take that town. After that the Russians said to Turkey that if they did not agree to give up that town of Adrianople then Russia would fight against Turkey. Eventually the Turkish leaders agreed to give up that town but the people did not agree. Now the people are involved in the fighting, the Prime Minister has been shot, and they are saying that they are not afraid of Russia, or of all the world powers, should they come to fight against them. That is the present situation. But Turkey’s problem is a lack of money, because if they have no money it is no good fighting. But it is well known from the past that the Turks are a warrior people if they have a good leader. However its enemy now is a shortage of food and money. But perhaps Turkey will make a break-through in this war.</span></div>

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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you look for the early editions of the Pipi they are difficult to find. The main reason for writing these words, people, is love for our paper. Many papers are sent out to you but little is received in the way of food for it. For a long time now, some people have not been paying. Whatever is wrong with our paper, [?<i>whakaina mai</i>] the faults. Our paper causes us sadness. I said that our paper has been sent out for almost twenty years and it will be very sad if it must cease for a lack of funding. The choice is yours. Will it cease publication or will it be left to live on, to go on. If you want our bird to stay alive and to keep going then take action and send something to keep it alive. It will cause much heart-searching if we find ourselves without our Pipi. My heart is pained and I know that there are other hearts that would be pained. People, if you see some ways of helping our paper, do tell us of them; if you see things that are wrong, do tell us of them. Do not be afraid. This paper belongs to all of us and if all of us help it will survive. One of the very important things for Pakeha is the newspaper. The Pakeha devour the newspaper. But the Pakeha sets up newspapers to make money, while our Pipi is not for making money but for teaching us. Only one person wants to make money and that is the printer. Therefore, my friends, think about this. This is not a money-making enterprise. No, this enterprise is intended to instruct us, to inform us, and all for the small sum of five shillings (5/-) a year, only five shillings a year. Some people are very sluggish about sending their five shillings. If you want Te Pipi to survive then be quick about paying for your Pipi, but if you want our Pipi to die then say positively that that is what you want. But we who work on Te Pipi want our bird to go on living. You alone have the means. You alone can decide whether our bird will live or die. People, keep our bird alive. Help us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Christ came into this world to save mankind, he appreciated that his work would not be easy. This was because of the sin dwelling in people, which is spoken of as a fruit of the Fall of Adam and Eve. That is indeed the case with human beings – something widely observed. So Paul lamented, saying, ‘Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?’ [Romans 7.24] This is a really human lament. This affliction of the human heart is widespread, something that affects all people. A person knows the fruits of good works and also the fruits of bad works, but although he knows he goes on doing what is wrong. It is because of sin embedded in the heart that this is the case. One man says, ‘I see the right path and I also agree that it is good, yet I do what is wrong.’ Paul says, ‘For I do not do the good that I want but the evil that I do not want is what I do.’ (Romans 7.19) The Catechism says that this is because of the sin dwelling in our hearts. We were born in sin and are children of wrath. Likewise the Psalmist says: ‘Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.’ (Psalm 51.5 AV); ‘The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.’ (Psalm 58.3 AV).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the sickness perceived by Christ when he came to save mankind, and because of it his work was difficult. This is why he gave his Sacrament of Baptism to wash away this pollution from people’s hearts. Christ clearly said to his disciples: ‘Go into the whole world and preach the Gospel to all people and baptize them.’ (Matthew 28.19) He did not just provide this as a rite of entry into his Church; he had a strong desire that this rite be retained as a symbol of cleansing from sin, but because this rite achieves that spiritual end that it symbolises, it is something in which the Holy Spirit is active.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is Baptism? It is not a supernatural thing like objects a person carries to protect his body. Nor is it the case that when a man is baptised he is made new and that after his Baptism he is different from what he was before the Baptism. Many people can be found doing bad things after their Baptism. We are shown that after Baptism a person is to do the things that are compatible with the meaning of that Baptism. The Catechism says that Baptism puts us on the path to eternal life. It is not that we have eternal life but if we faithfully follow that path we will find eternal life. If we do not stick to that path we will not find it. The Scriptures clearly show the importance of Baptism. Christ clearly told his disciples to baptise people, Matthew 28.19. He says in another place that if a person is not born of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. [John 3.5] The teachings of Peter and Paul are clear. See 1 Peter 3.21 and Titus 3.5. There are people who say that the important thing is the conversion of the heart and that baptism is not significant. The accounts of Paul clarify this matter. On the road to Damascus a great light appeared to him; he fell to the ground a Jewish persecutor and he got up a humble Christian. It did not stop there for he was subsequently baptised. We know that he did not think that conversion was more important than baptism, Acts 9.10-19. When he was in Philippi the gaoler came to him trembling and asking, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ The Apostle answered, ‘Be baptised.’ (Acts 16.31) We must also remember that the blessings imparted by this Sacrament do not cease after the Baptism but are there within a person all the time. Paul says, ‘I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.’ (Galatians 2.20 AV)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We see that the Apostle speaks differently of his way of life which began at the time of his Baptism. He says that his life is one that belongs to Christ. This is the right way in which a faithful person must think about this life. Many people dwell on their weakness <b>[3]</b> and not on their strength. They do not think that they came with their weaknesses to the water of Baptism, but if the words of Christ are trustworthy they and their weaknesses have been transformed. This thought equips a Christian to fulfil the demands of his calling. Moses was a weak man and because of his weakness he tried to avoid God’s calling. But God worked on him and his great weakness so that he achieved a great work. Peter was also a weak man but God blessed him in his weakness so that he was able to do great things for God. Likewise all believers can be blessed by God, like Moses and Peter, despite their weaknesses.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pine Tamahori has been moved from his position as assistant master at the Te Raukahikatea school for clergy to Paraone Turei’s parish of Hikurangi. This is a large parish and a difficult one to work so it is a good idea of the Bishop to send Pine Tamahori there to work that parish. Paraone Turei, that man who worked so hard in his parish, has gone and there is no better man than Pine Tamahori to succeed him. The man for that parish has to be a sturdy person, a good rider because the work involves always being on horseback, a stout-hearted person, a man with a humble heart, a man who is generous to people, a gentle man and a wise man. Pine has all these attributes, attributes needed by someone who follows Paraone Turei. Pine, may God bless you in everything you do.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wi Paraire Rangihuna of the Parish of Nukutuarua, Mahia, has been moved by the Bishop to Te Raukahikatea, to the position vacated by Pine Tamahori. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hemi Huata of the Parish of Mohaka has been returned by the Bishop to his own people, Ngati Kahungunu, at Te Wairoa. And Henare Wepiha Wainohu of the Parish of Te Wairoa has been returned to his own hapu at Mohaka. The parishioners of these men are sad. Ngatipahauwera are sad that they are losing Pititi, that is, Hemi Huata. They are right to be sad about this man. Pititi is a good man and familiar with Pakeha ways having been educated at Te Aute; he also knows Maori ways and Maori speaking. Pititi is one of the Maori young people of the new world who can recite genealogies besides being of chiefly lineage. He is a son of Tamihana Huata of Te Wairoa. He has been minister to Ngatipahauwera for a long time. One cannot pass over the grief of that tribe for him now that he has been moved by the Bishop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ngati Kahungunu at Te Wairoa are also sad at having to part with their friend and relation, Henare Wepiha. He is a young man who is very knowledgeable about both Maori and Pakeha ways and is fluent in Maori. He is very good at bringing at drawing his young male friends into the activities of the Church through recreational activities. He has been a very good rugby player from his time at Te Aute in 1897 and up to the present. His team has won heaps of cups in Te Wairoa every year. But, hapu from which these men come, do not regret that you have loved one or other of these men, but be happy when your children return to you. Although the saying is, ‘A prophet is without honour in his own home’ [Luke 4.24], I think that they are honoured in these days. Ngati Kahungunu, welcome your child, Pititi, who has returned to you and welcome his work. Likewise, Ngatipahauwera, welcome your child, Henare Wepiha Wainohu. Because the Parish of Nukutaur<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">u</span>a was without a minister the Bishop decided that Pititi should go there to look after the people of that parish and given the situation there is much work for Pititi to do from Te Wairoa to Mahia. Because there is so much for Pititi to do the Bishop has decided to appoint Tihi Whanga, lay-reader in the Parish of Nukutaurua, son of Epanaia Whanga of Nuhaka, to work alongside Pititi. If all the young leaders are like this young leader, there will be no limit to the good that will result for the Maori People at large. The sister of this man is involved in the mission work within this Diocese. Give both of them a warm welcome. Rongomaiwahine as far as Ngai Tahu, welcome Pititi and welcome your child, Tihi Whanga.</span></div>

Many soldiers came to welcome them when they arrived on the wharf. It is thought that between 700 and 800 soldiers from the Auckland Province came to welcome them. After their arrival they were led to the Town Hall where by the people of Auckland praised these New Zealand Cadets on their return from the Carnival of Cadets from all the countries of the Empire, which was held in Canada, North America. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They won many prizes at that gathering. In the Town Hall those young people demonstrated some of their drills and comments were made that nothing could compare with the excellent drill of those young people. Those who came to see it were amazed. The Mayor of Auckland was present and he was full of praise for the Cadets. Afterwards the Mayor stood to praise those Cadets for their fine reputation and for their excellent achievements in winning the prizes and for other things that they had achieved; that high opinion and the good things they had done were not only a credit to them but also to the whole Dominion. At the end of his speech he asked the whole hall to give three cheers in praise of that group, and it is said that those ‘Hip, hip, hoorays’ were like thunder.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Afterwards the Canadian [Trade] Commissioner, Mr W A Beddoe, spoke and congratulated the company for their victory and their accomplishments. ‘I stand here now speaking, knowing that the Cadets of my own country of Canada were licked by the New Zealand Cadets. I can at least take consolation from the fact that they had licked every other competitor that had come along.’ He also said that the New Zealand Cadets had won their prizes honourably; they were not just handed out, they had to be worked for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Colonel Logan, the officer commanding the Cadet Forces of the Auckland Province, then stood to speak. He said he was very happy to welcome his colleague, Captain Fullerton, and his Cadet Company. He was very hopeful that from that company would emerge some outstanding people as officers running the work in the Colony, if they retain their commitment to their calling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is an Australian man who lives in Melbourne and whose name is William <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ilton</span>. He is a painter. Some years ago he suffered a catastrophic physical misfortune. He was struck by lightning. The result was that he was blinded, he lost his hearing, he could not speak, and his body was weak. He has been lying like this in one of the large Melbourne hospitals for a total of 25 years. On 19th November he saw with his eyes, heard with his ears, and spoke with his mouth, though his body is still weak. What has been done for him and the medicine he has been given is not yet known, therefore this is a cause of amazement to us people – that this man should be healed after 25 years.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A funeral was held for King Mahuta who died at Waahi on 10th November. These were the tribes that came to that funeral. There were 2000 from Ngati Maniapoto; people from Ngatimahuta, Ngatikoroki, Ngatihaua, Ngatimaru, Ngatiwhakaatua, as well as Waikato attended, making a total of about 9000. Besides these tribes, Whanganui, Taranaki, Ngati Raukawa, Ngatikahungunu, Te Arawa, Tuhourangi, Ngatituwharetoa and Ngatiuenuku also came. More than ten thousand people attended the funeral. There was insufficient accommodation or food because there were so many people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the amount of food consumed in a day: four tons of potatoes; two hundred loaves; one hundred pounds was spent on purchasing butter, jam and sugar; ten cattle; and twenty pigs. A total of £400 was spent each day on providing food. Maori, the extent of your hospitality is very good. These quantities of food are like those prepared for Solomon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All these expenses were met by Waikato and it fell to their grandchild, Te Rata Mahuta, to pay them. People were generous in contributing money to help, but Waikato bore the burden. The amount contributed by the tribes who came was £1200. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first matter dealt with was the assembling of the elders to proclaim Te Rata Mahuta as king. Tupukaingakawa and Te Rawhiti counselled that they should wait for the people and the whole country to arrive. When Sir James Carroll arrived the tohunga crowned Te Rata Mahuta Potatau as king. The remarkable thing in this coronation of this Maori man as our king was that he was not anointed with oil but a Bible was placed on his head. Te Rata was a good child and did not drink liquor like his father. He is a child who knows Pakeha ways and who has been to school.</span></div>

Now we invite you to bring [?<i>maua</i> sic ?<i>mauria</i>] the actual strands of the sacred and true stories from when we left Hawaiki. Bring before us, the elders who are skilled in genealogies, your genealogies.</span></div>

Come, all Tribes, remembering the words of Paul who said, ‘Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ.’ [Galatians 6.2] Christ’s law is love, and Christians, that will be evidence of your love and you will be called a noble Christian. One part of your nobility is being seen to be engaged in the work of God. [? But you low-born and others, suppress the nobles.

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Thursday, the last day of October, Pine Tamahori left us, the people of Te Raukahikatea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was great sadness at his departure from us because he had lived here for a long time, during the time he was a student, and then when he was appointed Assistant Master of the College, and up to the present. He lived here for almost eight years. But his departure is particularly a cause for sadness because of the work he did here at Te Raukahikatea, no matter how difficult it was or how burdensome those tasks. It did not matter how much was heaped up on his shoulders, he accomplished everything – and fulfilled it well. In his farewell speech, Rev Chatterton, the Principal of Te Rau praised his colleague, Pine, for the effort he put into doing the work allocated to him and for his commitment to completing those things correctly and well. He said that he knew, when Pine was named as Assistant Master for Te Rau, that he was the right man for the job because he had observed and got to know him when he was a student here; he had also seen how hardworking he was, but above all he was a man of a humble, agreeable and good heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The good work done by this man was not confined to the College but extended beyond the College walls. It extended to the Maori and the Pakeha outside. When his Pakeha friends in the town heard that he was going they held a large gathering one night as a time to express their thanks and to say goodbye. Pine was highly respected by his Pakeha friends, some of the leading Pakeha of this town. They appreciated his concern with doing good and beautiful things. A person’s works declare his nobility whoever he may be, and certainly the leading Pakeha did not overlook his nobility.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They showed their love in a material way by presenting Pine with two expensive gifts, a travelling hand-bag (a suitcase) and a travelling rug (a shawl), things one only takes on a major journey. Many and generous were the words of praise of his Pakeha friends for Pine, for the many aspects of his character that they knew and observed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Saturday, 26th of this month, the people of Te Rau held our banquet marking the departure from us of one of our Masters. But it was only the Banquet that took place then; the words of thanks were reserved for the night before Pine’s departure. They were delivered in his presence. The words of thanks spoken at this time came from our Elder, Mr Chatterton, and we have already set down some of what he said. He also said that although he was sad that Pine was leaving their work, in his heart he was also happy because Pine had been called to go and fill that great and demanding position, and to further that great work – a work, the fruits of which have been widely seen – the work begun by Paraone Turei in the Parish of Hikurangi. His closing words to Pine were these, ‘Farewell, and our prayers follow you.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the Wednesday night – the next day was the day Pine was to leave – the gratitude and tears of the people of the College for their friend and elder poured out. Sadness and joy mixed in the words of farewell. There was sadness at their being parted from this good man, but happiness that he had been called to do a great work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was a single theme in what was said from the first farewell speech to the last and that was simply praise for Pine’s goodness – his goodness as a Master and his goodness as a friend. Pine was a real friend to all the people of the College and the main reason why he was so loved by the people of the College was his humble heart, his kindness to people – he was not touchy, he did not lay down the law, he was in no way disagreeable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Kohere, that man who so capably ran this community, has gone, and now Pine, another such, has gone. It will be good if those who come after them have similar wisdom and strength. The last thing the people of the College said to Pine was that they would remember him in their prayers and would not forget to hold his hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the important tasks done by Pine while he was living here was to publish Te Pipiwharauroa. It is not an easy thing to find copy for <b>[9]</b> Te Pipiwharauroa but while Pine has been Editor of our paper we have seen his skill at filling it with articles. Now that Pine has gone it is pitiful to see our orphaned bird. Today Te Pipi is crying for the man who encouraged him; he it was who <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">sent </span>him on his way over the past four or five years, he fed him, he clothed him, and <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">gave him breath </span>today. Farewell, Pine. I shall remember your kindness to me. It will be good if the kindness of the young people of this school to me is like yours. This is a final word from your pet to you: Farewell, may the Heavenly Father bless you, be merciful to you, and guide you. When the farewell speeches of the people of the school ended, they sang Hymn 494 (<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">S</span>&M)<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, </span>‘God be with you.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The owner of the Hotel at </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Port Awanui</span>, Michael Hyland<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> has been fined for providing liquor to a Maori within the restricted area within which liquor may not be provided to a Maori under Section 46 of the Law amending the liquor licensing rules, which was passed in 1910. The application of this law means that liquor may not be provided to a Maori within the boundaries of Horouta. The judge said to that man that he was not in two minds about that trouble; he had seen, and he was aware that he was in trouble. The judge added that there was much talk about such doings in the district, the result of a spirit of opposition to the prohibition law.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then the judge said that the fine permitted for such an offence was £100, but he was reducing it to £50, and part of the punishment would be the noting of this offence on the hotel’s licence. In addition, the Court expenses were £4-17-6.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was grief and heartfelt sorrow at the arrival of the news that Mahuta Tawhiao Te Wherowhero Potatau had died and had entered upon the long sleep. On Saturday, 8th November, his living soul was taken by his Maker. On Thursday 6th he had arrived at Huntly to deal with some of his business. When he returned home to Waahi on the Saturday his body was overcome by weakness and at 10 o’clock that night he died. No doctor came to see him or to work on him, so nothing is known of the cause and the beginning of his illness.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many tribes and hapu and leaders from every place gathered at Waahi for the funeral and to grieve for Mahuta. His body lay on the marae at Waahi. It had been arranged that his body should be left for one month so that all the chiefs and leaders of the country, from Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu, could assemble and grieve for him. A letter of condolence arrived from the Government and its Ministers to the tribe and hapu of Mahuta. Timi Kara has also travelled to Waahi to lament for Mahuta.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Henare Kaihau and Eketone are managing the activities at the marae at Waahi at present. They are waiting for the leaders of this country to gather. Then they will put in place the various aspects and rites connected with the anointing of the new king, Te Rata. His anointing will be like that of his father. He is a man who is highly approved of by his Tribe and his Hapu. He is 34 and he was educated in Pakeha ways; in this way he is superior to his father, and he is also keen to implement Pakeha ways of doing things.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 15th November, Kerei Te Hokowhitu entered upon the long sleep. This man was the plume of Whanganui, Ngatirangi, Ngatiwhiti, Ngatitama, and Ngatiwharetoa. This is a great loss, and so these tribes came to lament for him when the news went out that he had been taken by the strong hand of death. This was a man who undertook good works and large projects. He was a man whose ideas were in line with those of the Pakeha as to the right thing to be done. So there was great sadness and grief in the hearts of his people when he was taken from amongst them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was a man who was skilled in and knowledgeable about caring for sheep and farming. He had much land and many farm implements. Pakeha farmers admired Kerei Te Hokowhitu for his ability in managing his lands and animals, given that he never went to school. Although he did not go, many children did go to schools, but they had nowhere near the ability of that man. He was also well-informed about the work of the Land Court. For such reasons both Maori and Pakeha grieved for him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was not a man who only thought about farming; he gave similar energy to supporting the principles of the faith. He was an accomplished man, a pillar of the Church. Hence the intense sorrow and lamentation for him. His ideas were not disturbed by the confrontational words of another. Whoever it was who spoke to him, he was firm and immovable and determined in his support for the works and traditions and the noble ways of his canoe, the Missionary Church [the Church of England]. Therefore, Father, we grieve in our hearts that you have left us. But it is not only for your person that we weep and lament and cry, but for the great things you did, the projects you ran, which lie spread out before us amongst your many tribes. So it is right that people grieve because he lived by the prescriptions of the laws of men but also by the great law, the law of God. Whatever is said, most of it must be about grief and sadness. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The concluding words are these, written by the President of the Aotea Board about this loss.

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This house knew him as a man who undertook and persevered in great works and in all just works. He was a man who understood the extensive wisdom of the Pakeha as well as the depths of the hearts of his Maori People. Therefore he was able to see things that were going wrong, his spirit hung over us, and he was clear when he <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">confirm</span>ed the different ways [?<i>parepare</i>] of his Maori Peopl<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">e.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His words struck deep into the hearts of each person, whether Pakeha or Maori.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kerei Te Hokowhitu died at Whanganui. He built his home at Karioi near the foot of Ruapehu. He was 54. When he died his body was taken to Patikiwharanui where his people lamented over him. On the 19th, on the insistence of his sisters he was taken to Ranana, on the Whanganui River. He lay there for three days and then was buried according to the rites of the Church. The Rev T Katene handled all these aspects. Here I must end my words, but my tributes and my love go on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was educated at Te Rau College, Gisborne. In 1895 he was ordained as a minister to his Maori People, and he was stationed at Maketu for many years. Later (in 1900) he was moved to Tauranga. He put a great deal of energy into his work amongst those people. Consequently there is deeply felt pain that his body has been taken from us. But his Heavenly Father knows why his body has been taken. People, do not be sad. He has gone to prepare a place for us when we arrive. He rests from all his works. Listen to the words of the Apostle John: ‘I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, from henceforth: indeed, according to the Spirit, they rest from their labours.” [Revelation 14.13].’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. Please send out my words for the people to see. I have a great desire for the whole Maori People to turn to farming and for some way, some law, to be found to bring this about. I believe that farming is the right occupation for Maori, but how can this be practically brought about? The conviction I have come to from my observations is that if a person has land that could be farmed then he should be fined if he does not set about improving the land and farming it. For another thing, if he is able to lease those then leasing is a very good thing; if he is able to lease government land then the money earned from the leased land should be used to improve the leased government land. All Maori who <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">take on</span> leases or who have money <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and get more leases</span> leases and who are not working or farming should be taxed. The sale of land should be stopped but the land should be surveyed and people should return to the land. One further thing, I want to persuade the Maori People not to look to the doctors, the lawyers, the office clerks, the [?<i>whakairo</i>], for in that way we Maori will continue to be plagued by weak laws dealing with the land issues. The doctor is good, but at his own occupation, which is the healing of the sick. But is he able to make a law dealing with the management of land when he has not learned other occupations or lived on the land or farmed, or has he gained his knowledge of land in the course of his work? Can a man easily know about something to which he has not turned his hand or seen with his eyes? In our present situation the land is the main issue amongst the Maori People and the [<i>taake</i> - ?taxes ?tasks] which will facilitate the working of those lands, or the [?<i>uhi</i> – cover, ?distribution] which will benefit the Maori People, or the [<i>taake</i>] which will enable Maori to work the land, and other [<i>taake</i>] as well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He said that the source of the fever at Uawa was a child who died in the hospital and whose body was taken to Uawa for a tangi and burial. It cannot be firmly established that that body was the source of the infection at Uawa but what that Pakeha said was right and one cannot criticise that statement. The Reverend Paraone Turei and his younger brother were well when they went to Gisborne. When they arrived home they both went down with the fever; Paraone died and his brother recovered. Ngarangi Kohere and her child were well when they arrived here in Gisborne. When they returned home the child became ill. The child recovered. The mother who had nursed the child caught the disease and died. While the mother was alive the fever caught hold of the Pakeha Nurse who was nursing Ngarangi and she also died. We see what a terrible affliction this is in that those who nurse the fever victims take their lives in their hands just like this Nurse who died. The Pakeha who died at Tokomaru died looking after the grandchildren of Wiremu Potae. Those she was looking after recovered but she caught the fever and died. Akenihi Hei, sister of Hamiroa Hei, nursed that patient. We see that it is right that we take great precautions with this sickness. Let us not think that this caution is only for us; no, it is for others too, those who come to our villages. Of all the people struck down by the fever here in Gisborne, most come for other places. If this is the case in other places we see that it is right that we take care of our own marae, and this applies not just to us, the local people, but also to the visitors staying in our villages. Summer is the time when the disease is most rampant because that is the time when people drink a lot of water; because they have to work so hard they drink all kinds of water. And that disease spreads frequently by water. People, look after our marae, and each person should care for their own homes. Only in this way will we get rid of this disease. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of this month Sir Robert Stout, Chief Justice of New Zealand, gave his judgement on a case that arose in Te Wairoa. The name of the block was Paeroa 1E8D, within the territory of the Tairawhiti Board. The Judge had to decide three matters in this case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(a) If some people in a block ask the Board to approve of their leasing of the Block, does their agreement to that lease apply only to their own shares and not for the shares of others in that block who have not signed? If the Board approves the request of those people, does the Board’s approval also apply to the shares of people within the Block who did not sign up to the petition of those who made the request?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(b) If some of those with an interest in the Block are young children whose guardians have an interest in the Block, and the guardians sign a request that the land be leased, are they signing for their own interests and not for those of the children as well? If the lease comes before the Board for its approval and the Board does approve, will the Boards approval of the lease also apply to the interests of the children?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(c) If some Maori with interests in the Block sign a request for the leasing of that Block, but when the Board gives its approval of the lease they do not subscribe to to the Board’s approbation, can it be said that the Board’s approval implies the approval of those people?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The area of the land in the case there is 33 acres, the people with an interest in it number 32, and some of those people are children. Five people applied for permission to lease it out. This problem arose when the Board approved of this lease. The Judge gave a single answer to these three matters, no. To summarise the words of the Judge: If all the people with an interest in the Block apply to lease it then the Board may approve it. Many leases have been approved by the Board without the signatures of all the parties with an interest in the Block. We are uncertain of the status of those leases. But it is clear that the Board will not approve of such leases in the future. The drawing up of leases is now difficult and perhaps the Government will produce some legislation to validate those leases that have been granted but which this judgement invalidates.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the past week trouble arose in the House of Parliament between Ward and Hine. Hine is a spokesman of the House Committee on Finance. At the meeting of the Committee Ward was questioned by the Minister of Finance. Ward did not directly answer the question. The Chairman told him that if he did not clearly answer the question he would not be permitted to speak. Ward was angry at this statement and said that what the Chairman said was very arrogant. The Chairman and others were angry at his calling the Chairman arrogant. He was called upon by the Chairman to withdraw those words. He said that he would not withdraw those words unless the Chairman first withdrew the original words he had used. The Chairman said that if he did not withdraw the words, it would be recorded in the report. Ward left the room and the members of the Committee were startled as he slammed the door. When the trouble was reported to the House he still would not withdraw his words. The House returned the matter to the Committee to discuss further but there was no satisfactory outcome. The Committee was not able to proceed with it and returned the issue to the House. The issue was discussed at length in the House with many supporting Ward’s contentions and many the Chairman’s. All those on the Government side supported the Chairman. The outcome of the dispute was that a motion was passed condemning Ward for defying the authority of the Chairman. Ward said that he had been 25 years in the House without anything like this happening, without being called a trouble-maker.</span></div>

He is the man who came from afar a long time ago to survey these islands. That pillar will be of stone and it will be tall. It will stand on the peak of Motuhara, an island off Arapawa, to be seen by ships sailing in Cook Strait. It is being erected there because that is the place where Captain Cook’s ships anchored when he sailed from England to these islands.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, concerning the Request for a Doctor for the Maori of Mohaka. I have carefully considered your request that a Nurse be sent to care for the Maori of Mohaka and I have concluded that there are many other Maori areas where it would be more appropriate to place a nurse before Mohaka.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has been made clear to me that there are 200 Maori at Mohaka and that they are people who are doing well financially. Could the Maori of that area not collect money to help to provide a wage for the Nurse? If that were the case I would be happy to try to send them a Nurse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I believe that Maori would appreciate their Nurse and her work if they knew that they were providing part of the wages of that Nurse.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 21st of this month the Prime Minister received Ngai Tahu’s Petition asking that the Government make a decision about their claim which has been with the Government for a long time. Their claim is that the land was taken by the Government before and that they have not been paid most of the money. In 1848 the Government took 7,000,000 acres from Kaiapoi as far as Otago. The arrangement at that time was that £2000 would be the amount bespoken by the Government for that land, and that one acre in ten of that land should be reserved for Maori. Maori received the money bespoken, £2000, but not the one acre in ten. Afterwards the Government took 13,000,000 acres [?<i>i te taha atu ki utua o te whenua mo tenei whenua</i>]. The Maori thought that perhaps the same arrangements would apply as with the first and that one acre in ten would be reserved for Maori. The Petitioners say that one part of the arrangements made by the Maori with the Government in relation to that land was that the Government would provide for them a school, a hospital and a doctor. Their request to the Government now is that the Government implement the arrangements made before, namely, that they give them one acre in ten of those two pieces of land taken by the Government. That would be a total of 2,000,000 acres. If they are unable to give the 2,000,000 acres then they should pay £2,000,000, one pound an acre. The response of the Prime Minister to this petition was that it should be left for Parliament to take up and look carefully into the matter. This is an important matter for the Government to pursue; it is also a matter of justice. Be strong, Ngaitahu, lest you be duped.</span></div>

Let your thoughts dwell on his loving words, on his instructions, on his faithful doing of God’s will. Make every effort to hold on to these things – and although you may not have given your heart to God and to working for him, forsake that state of things and start now to do Christ’s work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Tuesday, 22nd of this month the Bishop of Waiapu and the clergy of both Maori and Pakeha sections of the Diocese opened Hukarere School. Many people attended that occasion. The Old Girls of the School were eager to come and be present on that day. The first speech was from the Bishop. The Bishop began by explaining why the new school had been built – the old building had been burnt down. While he was thinking about the old building and about the new one as well, there came into his heart the hope that this building will fulfil what was spoken of in Scripture and that ‘The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former.’ [Haggai 2.9] His heartfelt hope is that this new building will preserve the good works practised in the old building. After he had greeted the trustees and the teachers of the school, he said, ‘We gathered here today to declare open this beautiful building, well-constructed by its builders, for this important work. Let us pray that God’s blessing will be upon this new building and let us also thank him for his blessings on the old building. Our hope is that the school will eagerly do things that will benefit the Maori People and the whole Dominion as well. May God’s blessing be upon this building and upon all the work done in it.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Bishop’s speech the collection was taken. A total of £139/16/1 was received. Of this money, £107/0/6 came from Maori. Before the collection the Bishop had said that £1000 was needed to pay off the debt on the building. Given this situation that remaining amount is now £860/3/11. There was also a sale organised by the girls of the school at which they sold things they had made. The amount raised by the sale was £16. This money is being kept separate from the main amount and will be used to purchase an organ for the children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the Bishop had finished speaking, Mr Bird, the Inspector, stood to speak. His first words were about the help given by the Government: ‘You know that there is no other Government school for Maori girls like this school, or any others know to us. Because it did not have its own schools the Government determined to help schools like this; its proper place is alongside those who are teaching Maori children. The Government will give up to £500 to help Hukarere. Since the Government has taken in hand the school, it has arranged that someone inspects the school and reports on how the school is doing each year so that it can know that the money it contributes is being well used. I am the one the Government has appointed as Inspector to report on the work being done. I have now been working for twelve years amongst the Maori people. During those years I have observed the state of the people, and not only the children attending the schools but also those who have left school. As a result I am in a position to stand among you today and say a few words about what is being done by the school, from its beginning up to the present day. From the things I have seen as I have travelled about, I am very happy to tell you that the seeds spread by the teachers in the school in the past have not been wasted, nor are those being spread now being wasted. It is wonderful to me to see the way the old pupils of Hukarere hold firmly to the things they were taught at the school despite the difficulties presented by their situations. I am aware of the efforts in the villages to suppress the good things learned by the girls at Hukarere. We see today that many of the Old Girls have come to celebrate the opening of this new building and we know how much they think of the school that taught them good ways. Present today is the first woman taught at Hukarere and we see in her the evidence of the good things taught to her by this school in former times. When she saw the good effects of the school on her personally, she determined that all her children should have the same opportunity; today one of those daughters is a nurse working among the Maori People. The wish of the teachers at the school is not that the girls pass the major examinations, although they are worthwhile if they can be achieved, but what they are seeking is to teach the things that will be of benefit to them when they are adults. Our eyes are fixed on the time when they will marry, and the teachers are concerned that they learn everything that will prepare them well for that great responsibility of women. Many say that it is a waste of time teaching the Maori; we do not see <b>[6]</b> those who have been educated taking up important positions. It is not wasted. In all Maori areas we see children using the skills they have been taught at school. They may not be heard of by the great, but they still work on. I am one who has seen it and I rejoice. I also know that the work that I and other friends and the teachers in the schools do has not been wasted. I find it wonderful to reflect that some of the parents, some of the grandparents, of some of the children, are still living in darkness and ignorance while today their children and grandchildren possess the same knowledge that we Pakeha have. So, in coming days, the Government will give consideration to passing a law to enable some Maori who have reached a certain standard to be educated with the Pakeha. This is wonderful to me and it shows that the work done by schools like this is not wasted.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings to you and to your people who manage our treasure which carries hither and thither the knowledge of the tribes of these two islands. Best wishes. May God protect us. My friend, please load on board my few words in answer to the questions put by Putahi Ritete on 8th August in Number 171 of Te Pipi, about the canoes before the migration and the canoes at the time of the migration of our ancestors to these islands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I shall talk of the canoes I am well-informed about, those before the Great Migration. The first are those brought here by Maui and his brothers, those that fished up this island. Were there six canoes that fished up this island? These are the names: Hotutaihirangi, Taipuapua, Te Rarotuamahengi, Araiteuru, Nukutaimemeha, and Atamira. These are the canoes of Maui which fished up this island. Some of them landed on the other island, some were smashed, and some are on Titiokura. So much for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have listed these canoes - they are my words. I cannot recall whether the account was brought by Toi-kai-rakau in an earlier or later migration. My parents and grandparents said that Toi-kai-rakau was from this island and was descended from Maui Tikitiki-o-te-rangi. This was his genealogy:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because he ate the fruit of the trees, Toi was called Toi-kai-rakau. These canoes came here from Hawaiki to catch fish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, there were three migrations to this island. The second was that of Kupe and Hapi-ki-tuarangi, and includes later those of Wahieroa and the others and Tamatea and the others. This explains and confirms the words one sees in the answers to the questions. Rangimatoru and Nukutere belonged to the second migration. These canoes now lie at Ohiwa. Rangimatoru was a canoe of the gods; it belonged to Heketanga-a-rangi and some other gods of the ancestors. Nukutere belonged to Te Pokai Tamatea, but it made landfall at Muriwhenua and it was Roau who brought that canoe to Ohiwa. Those Tamatea came to land and then went all around it, so that they were given the name Kaka-kai-amio [Wandering Kaka]. After they had travelled around this island for a long time they were short of food, and that earned them the names of Tamatea-kai-haumi [Tamatea the Poachers] and Tamatea-pokai-whenua [Tamatea who travels the land]. Those were [?<i>roku</i>] names for them. Their individual names were these: Tamatea-a-mua-mai-tawhiti, Tamatea-a-monga, Tamatea-a-rere, Tamatea-wharekohe, Tamatea-matangirau, Tamatea-i-te-nukuroa, and Tamatea-puku. These are the canoes I know about in the second migration. Each of you can tell about your areas and your canoes involved in that migration, that is, those tribes who know of canoes in that migration.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now I shall speak of the canoes of the third migration I have heard of. They are Matatua, Te Arawa, Tainui, Takitimu, Aotea and Horouta. I agree with some of the things the Editor said about Aotea. Turi was the chief and it made landfall on the Taranaki coast. <b>[7]</b> Its cargo lies in Whanganui – Karaka and [?<i>Puke-kumara</i>].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for Tainui, yes, it landed at Kawhia and it lies within Waikato at Te Hoe-a-Tainui. Hoturoa was the chief.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for Te Arawa. Yes, Tamatekapua was the chief and Ngatoroirangi was the captain. This canoe landed at Whangaparaoa and went on to Te Wairoa and Te Mahia. There are evidences of it at Te Wairoa and Te Mahia too. Uru and Ngana are at Te Wairoa: these two things it carried were tribal lore and a spell. At Te Mahia is a <i>Mauri</i> [a material symbol of a life principle – <i>Te Aka</i>] from Tutarakauika, that is, from the whale, in the form of a Mapou tree. The chiefs on board this canoe were Ruawharo and Rongokako. Eventually this canoe stopped at Murihiku. There they observed the speed of this canoe and it received its second name of Horouta. That, anyway, is what I have heard. It is for the people of the canoe to give the explanation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for Matatua, this is my canoe. It is true that it landed at Whakatane. Toroa was the chief together with his younger brothers, Puhi and Taneatua. His younger brother took this canoe to Aotea in Ngapuhi territory. This canoe lies there. Those known as Ngapuhi and Te Rarawa are the descendants of Puhi and Rahiri. So much for my explanation of this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As an aside I would mention the statement that says that Te Arawhato was a canoe that came here, and the statement that it was seen floating here. There is also the statement that Kahukura and Rongoiamo arrived at Toikairakau’s pa and were fed on trees, that is, fern root, and that they gave him dried kumara. The truth is this: the names of those men were Hoake and Taukata. They gave the dried kumara to Toi. They also answered Toi’s question when he asked, ‘Where does this food come from, how can one get it, and what is the name of this food?’ Those men answered these three questions. This food is called kumara. Here are pieces of driftwood lying on the Opipi beach; fashion them into a canoe. Toi agreed, set to work, and completed it. It was given the name of Aratawhaowhao. This was the canoe of Tamakihikurangi and one of those who brought the dried kumara to Toi, namely, Hoake. This canoe brought the kumara to me, that is, to all Awa, hence our collective name.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I mention in passing the statement that Aratauwhaiti was the canoe of Tuwakawaka, Maku and Toikairakau. I have three questions about these words. Where did this canoe come from? Secondly, have you not heard that Tiwakawaka was one of the people of this island? Thirdly, if Toi came from Hawaiki, why did he ask those men about the kumara, because you know that Toi came from Hawaiki where the kumara came from? You hear my questions; please answer them, you or your expert. Don’t be upset, but I would appreciate an explanation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I support the Editor’s words about the faith and that the man who brought this treasure to this island was Samuel Marsden. The first Bishop was Selwyn. That Bishop came to Whakatane around 1846 and my elder gave him land for the faith. That’s enough, Editor. Greetings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, please publish my answer to a certain man’s question. The question was whether there should be one law for both Maori and Pakeha or two. My answer to this question is that it is alright if the Maori People want that law. Consider this! Apirana Ngata is the only Maori person who has passed through the Pakeha university and who knows the path of life and the path of death. The whole country is ignorant. Consider now what great matters come before the House; some are enacted and others which will not clarify the law are not. Therefore, stand up, consider carefully, study it carefully, and it will be given. This must be done lest your Maori elders soon die through carrying their blankets on the road. Enough of these words. Greetings, Editor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 15th if this month we heard news of the shooting of Roosevelt, one of the men who served as President of America. He was the former President and served two terms as President of the nation. This year he was considering standing again. Three men were nominated and in November there was to be a vote as to which of them would stand for that office. While Roosevelt was travelling to address a meeting at a place arranged by him, a man shot him. The bullet struck his chest. He did not want his wound to be seen by a doctor but got into his carriage and went to his meeting. In the middle of his speech, news reached the meeting that he had been shot by someone and that the bullet was still inside him. His speech was almost ended, his voice was becoming weaker because he was still losing blood and he was experiencing pain. The members of the audience were afraid when they first heard the news, but when they saw his determination and his stout-heartedness they shouted their applause and saluted him. After finishing his speech he consented to being taken to hospital.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The man who shot him was arrested. The people tried to strike that man with whatever they had to cause injury, to take revenge for his assassination attempt. The efforts of the police saved him. It is thought that the man was mad. He also said that a man who was seeking a third term as President of the nation deserved to be killed. He also said that God had sent him to kill Roosevelt. While he was asleep the spirit of McKinley, the President before Roosevelt, came and said to him that he had been killed by Roosevelt. This was why he was determined to kill him. The news is that Roosevelt is recovering from the wound and that the bullet has been removed. </span></div>

So my heart salutes him and also my love goes out to him. Farewell, Pa. Go to the heavenly Jerusalem. My heart salutes him. He was our leader when my wife and I lived at Te Rau. Nikora came to Taupo in 1893. He travelled over all Tuwharetoa preaching the word of God. He began his work at Tuoropaki, Orouanui, Tapiaeharuru, Waitahanui, Tauranga-Taupo, Tokoanu, Waihi, Poarua, and around to the foot of Tongariro, to Otukou and Pareake Pouta. These villages are at Rotoaira. His travelling companions were Hitiri Paerata and Hoeta Te Hata. No village failed to grin at Nikora when he was preaching. We returned to Tauranga-Taupo. He returned to Napier with Hitiri and Teri Te Paerata.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE TROUBLES OF TURKEY IN THE WAR AGAINST ITALY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 16th of this month peace was made between Italy and Turkey. Italy has annexed Tripoli and a place called Cyrenaica and also some of the Turkish islands. The parts of Turkey that have been taken over by Italy have paid an annual tribute to the Turkish Government since before the war, and when Italy took over those places it agreed that it would pay that money to Turkey. It is said that it was the influence of Edward Grey, the English Minister of Foreign Affairs, that brought an early end to this war. He tried in vain to bring peace but Turkey did not agree to Italy’s demand. On 14th Italy made its final demand pointing out what it required. If Turkey did not agree to it then it would instruct its remaining half million soldiers to fight. On 16th Turkey agreed to Italy’s demands. Many Italians in Rome were not happy with peace being made at this time because Montenegro was engaged in a war with Turkey. The Queen of Italy is a daughter of the King of Montenegro. That woman is highly thought of by the people of Italy, and when peace was made people were sad that they would not be able to help their Queen’s people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The war between Italy and Turkey over Tripoli started on 29th September, 1911. Because Italians living in Tripoli were suffering under Turkish practices, Italy decided to take over the running of that land. It sent a demand to Turkey saying that it Turkey did not hand over that land to Italy to govern it would declare war. Turkey did not listen to Italy’s demand and war began. Five days after the beginning of the fighting Tripoli was taken from Turkey and within the month all the towns of the land of which Tripoli is the main city were captured by Italy. From that time until the conclusion Turkey continued to suffer defeats at the hands of Italy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In last month’s edition of our pet, it told of the friction between the neighbouring peoples and Turkey. The cause of the friction was the massacre in [?<i>Kokana</i>]. Previously there had been friction between Turkey and the national groups, but that massacre in other places stirred up the people. There are six small national groups on the borders of Turkey: Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece and Macedonia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of these nations, Macedonia is under Turkish control. All of them retain their separate identities but they are small kingdoms. Although these peoples have their independence, they still live in fear of Turkey because Turkey is a great power. There are continual outbreaks of fighting, but they are small incidents. The nation that suffers most under Turkey is Macedonia. The country has no Government of its own to run its own business like some, but Turkey runs those things. Turkey is terrible in its dealings with it. The thing that binds together these nations is the Christian faith. They are all Christian; Turkey is not Christian but Moslem. When Turkey committed small acts of violence against each of these nations they rose up, and they added to the violent acts that had been inflicted on them, the suffering of Macedonia. This is one of the main reasons why they embarked on a war – not just their own suffering at the hands of Turkey but out of compassion for Macedonia. They believed that Turkey wanted to bring Macedonia under its own rule.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Montenegro was the first nation to declare war for the actions of Turkey against themselves together with their concern for Macedonia. The King of Montenegro started the war and his son fired the first shot at the enemy. That war began with prayer, the King also attended the service, and his war was blessed by the Bishop. When the King commanded his people to rise up and help their sister who was being attacked by Turkey, he said that he wanted the people to be united in this war. On 12th there was the large battle at [?<i>Parena</i>]. Many died on both sides, but the accounts seem to give the Montenegrins victory in that encounter. This town is in Turkish territory. On 13th a strong Turkish emplacement fell and 300 Turks died. The Montenegrins seized the cannons and as the Turks were fleeing they fired their own guns at them. On 15th some other Turkish guns were captured. Some other nations were all keen to assist Montenegro. On 18th Turkey declared war on Bulgaria and Serbia. These two nations, and also Greece, had indicated that they would fight against Turkey. Four nations had united to fight Turkey. Although there were four nations against one, that is, Turkey, do not think that when combined they were larger than Turkey. No, Turkey was larger, and it was the nation that possessed the strongest weapons of war. Those nations rejoiced at the declaration of war against Turkey. They were delighted that they were seriously engaged in fighting their common enemy. The Serbian Government called for 300,000 men to enlist as soldiers in the war, and when they assembled there were 400,000. The fighting was carried on with great intensity by both sides. On 19th Bulgaria took two of the strong Turkish forts, they were within the Turkish borders, and the Turks retreated to their large forts, Kirk Kilisse and Adrianople. On 20th the Bulgarians took a strong Turkish emplacement called [?<i>Matawha Paaha</i>]. At that time also the Greeks defeated the Turks at [?<i>Murena</i>]; the son and grandson of the King of Greece were the generals in this battle. Bulgaria is attacking Kirk Kilisse. The Serbians and Montenegrins are fighting bravely. However the places where the Turks are being defeated are small forts. In all places they come to we are seeing the strength of the nations against the Turks. The most intense battle was that of the Bulgarians against Kirk Kilisse. It is a very strong fort and on a hill as well. There were up to 100 cannons that night, the Bulgarians used their bayonets, and in the darkness it was difficult to see people. At one stage of the fighting the Turkish cavalry charged to break the Bulgarian line. They were seen by the Bulgarians who managed to get behind them and those people were struck down. Following the massacre the command was given to abandon the fort on all sides. This was the overthrow of that fort. Five hundred Turks died. Now the Bulgarians are attacking Adrianople which must nearly be Turkey’s largest fort. We hear news of the bravery of the nations and we hear news of the treachery of the Turks who have killed women and children in the towns they have taken, and how they have cut up the bodies of their enemies. One major battle was that at Kumanavo. The Serbians were involved in this battle while the Bulgarians were attacking Kirk Kilisse. Guns, swords and knives were the weapons used in this battle; there was intense fighting in that battle. It is said that the land was covered with corpses. The battle still to come is at Adrianople. If that fortress falls, the way is open to Constantinople, the main city of the Kingdom of Turkey. In this fight we will find out what Turkey is like, its strength or its weakness. From all parts we hear that Turkey is being defeated in each place. It seems that the power of Turkey is being overthrown. The fear now is that some of the great powers may intervene to help. Should that happen there will be a conflagration in all places. This is what we are wary of now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 2nd of this month we saw the words of one of the members of the Upper House, a question to the Minister responsible for the business of the House, asking if the Government was considering restoring the Honourable Wi Pere to his position in the House. From that speech we learned that Wi had left the House. The man who asked the question was the Honourable [Oliver] Samuel. Samuel said that the reason he asked the question was that he had not heard that matter discussed, and there was no good reason why Wi Pere should be deprived of his seat in the House. The trouble over Wi Pere was caused by his absence from the House during the last session and also at the beginning of this session. Wi explained that on the first occasion he was absent <b>[11]</b> because he was ill, and he had informed the Speaker of the House, asking for some days leave of absence because he was ill. He twice sent telegrams to the Speaker but received no reply. When he was better he was about to set out for Wellington when he was told that the House had risen. For the recent opening he had not been able to travel to Wellington because of the rough seas. The meeting was set for the Thursday; on the previous Sunday he was to travel to Wellington but because of the rough seas the steamship was unable to berth at Gisborne. That same night the large steamship was wrecked at Gisborne. On the Wednesday he sailed from Gisborne and arrived in Wellington on the Thursday night. When he arrived at the House it had already risen; the work for the day had been concluded early and his name had been recorded as being absent. That was the second sitting of the House he missed. He had no clear idea of what action the Government should take in this situation. However, Wi and the Honourable Sir Timi Kara had called on the Prime Minister who had said that Wi would be restored to his position because the situation had come about by misfortune. There are two Maori in the Upper House, Wi Pere and Tame Parata. Had Wi been excluded, Aotearoa would have been left without a Maori member in the House.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A major disaster hit Tasmania, an island to the south of Australia. A large mine there caught fire. The fire was caused by the breaking of one of the pumps. The sides of that mine are lined and that lining was burnt by the fire. Nearly 150 miners were working in the mine when the fire started. Fifty emerged shortly after the warning of the fire had been given; 89 were trapped and could not be reached because the mine was full of smoke. The fire started on a Saturday, by the Monday five men had been reached. The men above, when they were unable to reach and help those who were trapped below, worked at pumping air down to them. They also sent down lights and some paper, but no-one wrote on the paper about their situation. The words they wrote asked for air to be sent down. On the Wednesday 50 men were reached. Those were the last who were reached alive. In some places all had died. Those who were reached said that they were saved by the clear thinking of their boss. When the place where they were was filling with smoke, the boss ran and opened the air pipe and directed the nozzle of the pipe at the smoke. That served to make the air from the pipe drive back the smoke. When they were thinking that they were going to die, that man again flew to the pipe and directed the nozzle of the pipe at the back of there cave, which was close. From there the air bounced back and spread throughout their cave, the smoke disappeared and they were alright. Their main need was for food. They stayed there from the Saturday until on the Wednesday they emerged into the open air. Nearly 50 men died. Those who survived said that it was the men with sturdy bodies who died first. This is a terrible death. The living men above made every effort and used appropriate techniques to resuscitate those who had been overcome by the smoke below. It was said that had they run quickly to the mouth of the pit when the first warning was given then all would have survived. But they thought it was a prank and they stayed where they were. When the smoke reached them and there was a second warning, they knew it was for real, but they were then not able to get out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE REVEREND NIKORA TAUTAU.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Monday 23rd of this month, the news came by way of the Pakeha telephone wires that Nikora Tautau had been killed when he fell from his horse. There was heartfelt sorrow and grief at this terrible news. There was sympathy and sadness for those left behind [ehara i te mea mo tona:] for his wife and children who are left bereft in the world; for the parishioners of Tokomaru who have no father to guide them; for the Maori Church of New Zealand, and for the people as a whole. Nikora was an orator in the gatherings of people, speaking of the works of the faith, as well as of other works for the well-being of the people. When Nikora spoke people would [?<i>pakari</i> sic] their teeth with laughing; when others spoke there was no laughter. One person said that Nikora would bring beautiful flowers to people’s cheeks – he said that because of the laughter his speaking provoked. In these days Nikora was the best-known elder of the Church even though he was not elderly. It was hoped that he would be the leader at the hui for the church being erected at Manutuke. This was a man who was skilled at his work of drawing people to the path of righteousness. He made every effort to find ways during services and outside of services to draw people to him. During worship people would laugh with him, and it was not just for the fun of it but that people might enjoy worship and welcome his teaching. Outside of services he attracted the children to all sorts of sports so that the children would know that people of faith can participate in sports and that it is not sinful. He took to heart the words of the Apostle, who said, ‘I have become all things to all people, so that I might by any means save some.’ [1 Corinthians 9.22] It is this characteristic of Nikora that makes us so sad at his loss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This man, Nikora Tautau, was of the senior chiefly lines of the Tairawhiti, and also of Ngapuhi. From when he was small he was set apart by his grandfather, Paora Tutu, for the position he held. That elder designated the eldest brother, Honiana, for the leading role on the marae; Moana, the next brother, for dealing with matters inside the meeting house; Nikora, for the Church; and the younger brothers to move about amongst them. These men still fulfil these roles. Nikora was educated at Te Raukahikatea. In 1893 he was ordained Deacon and in 1896 he was ordained Priest. <b>[2]</b> After he was made Deacon he was sent to work in the Waikato and in 1905 he returned to the parish of Tokomaru. From 1893 to 1901 he worked in Northern Waikato and in 1901 he moved to Southern Waikato until 1905. In 1905 the Bishop of Auckland made him his Chaplain and in 1905 he was appointed inspector of the Maori Section of the Auckland Diocese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nikora’s death was caused partly by himself and partly by his horse. On the Saturday he went from his home at Uawa to Tokomaru. When he left he said to his wife to go to another of their villages and he would return to that village for Evening Prayer on the Sunday. When he arrived at Tokomaru he spoke to Apirina Pahina and said that he had a pain inside. He slept well that night. He had gone that day to celebrate the Lord’s Supper. When he arrived he was urged by the people to hold the service at Maui where most of the people had gathered. He went to Maui. When he had taken his two services he returned. Not long after dinner he led Evening Prayer. The service was not long because he was aware that his sickness had got worse. He <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">said a sad farewell to</span> the people of Tokomaru and returned. The place where he fell was not far from Hairini at the place where the road branches to Anaura. There was a child who saw him fall. When that child was turning to go to the river he saw Nikora some distance from him. He thought it was a Pakeha. When the child turned towards the river Nikora was hidden from him for a moment or two. Nikora’s horse was cantering; it was a gentle canter according to the child. He did not see the fall but he had an idea that he had fallen. When the child was in the water he heard people running, heading for the place where Nikora was. He climbed up, and saw that it was a Maori. He called out that he had thought that it was a Pakeha who had fallen ahead of them. Those people went and when they arrived they found Nikora lying there. He was groaning with pain. They took the bags that served as padding for their saddles and made a stretcher and carried him to the village. One of them ran to the village to phone people. When they arrived at the village he was still groaning. They felt over his body. There was no bruising and no bones were broken: there were cuts to his forehead. His heart was still beating. He kept calling out that he should be sat up, or turned over, or laid down because of the pain he was suffering. When the doctor arrived he was worse and not long afterwards he became unconscious. He had greeted the doctor when he was still conscious. That was the end of his understandable communication; he said that he should not be treated with water. When the news came by telephone every part of his parish was plunged into grief. From that time until now all the people have been lamenting their loss. These are the lamentations of his people.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Pipiwharauroa announced that the Reverend W Paraone Turei died on 25th June. His illness was typhoid fever which he caught in Gisborne. That was the source of the fever of his brother, Teki, and his nephew, Hika. They have both recovered. When <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">the</span> child Hika returned the mother, Ngarangi, caught the child’s disease and on 2nd September she entered upon the long sleep. This was a pitiful situation – a calamity. Ngarangi died for her son.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ngarangi and Paraone were the daughter and son of the Rev Mohi Turei and Kararaina. These two children were both wonderful people. I have already written about Paraone, and these words are about his sister. Ngarangi, in my opinion, was one of the most knowledgeable of Maori women, with the education she got from school together with the knowledge planted by God in her heart. Ngarangi’s first teacher was her own father who taught her the faith and the Bible stories. She started her education at Rangitukia and when she finished here she went to Hukarere. Her intellectual ability was recognised there. When she returned home she became teacher at Rangitukia School. She was there for many years. There were three teachers at Rangitukia, two Pakeha and Ngarangi was the second teacher. She was supporting her parents at that time, but she managed to get her own piano. I have mentioned this because Ngarangi was the only Maori girl who got herself a piano by her own efforts. Ngarangi was a very gifted young person at speaking English and playing the piano. In Mr Bird’s report of Rangitukia School he praised it for the excellent English spoken by the pupils taught by Ngarangi, the Maori. This was a great thing to be said by the Pakeha of the Maori. Had Ngarangi committed herself to school teaching she would have had her own large school in these days but when Henare Kohere returned from England he and Ngarangi Turei were married. They had four children and she gave her life for her son – all her concerns were for her children.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Farewell, Rangi. Follow your brother. And leave behind your children as a lasting memorial to your name – their lives will in the future [?<i>whakapae</i>] and honour your name.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE GOVERNMENT OF ENGLAND.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The English Government has been anxiously proceeding with its project of setting up a separate Parliament for Ireland. This has been an issue for a long time. It was set in train in the past. But this Government is the one that has endeavoured to take it in hand. The matter was not contemplated by previous Governments for fear of the Irish. The Irish are a quarrelsome people and quick to get angry. If they are given their own Government and were there to be even a small difficulty with England then perhaps they would withdraw completely from being under English rule. Another reason for apprehension is that the people are Roman Catholic. If they are given their own parliament these two things would remain as reasons for coming out from under English rule. Ireland is vociferous in its contention, and it is right insofar as it is the only people in the Kingdom of England that does not have its own Government. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all have their own Governments. The Boers who were recently fighting against England have their own Government but they do not. Before these lands were even known as countries Ireland lived under English rule and still does so. Ireland did formerly have a Government but because of its intolerable actions it was abolished and, because England fears this aspect of Irish life, it has not been re-instated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the election at the beginning of last year the Government thought that it would be defeated, then it said that it would agree to give Ireland its own parliament. Because of this declaration by the Government almost all the Irish members gave their support to the Government. This is how the Government remained in office. Since it was through the support of the Irish members who wanted a parliament for Ireland that the Government survived, it was keen to deal with that matter. It is one of the big issues lying before Parliament at present.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But not all Ireland is agreed on this matter. Northern Ireland, which is called Ulster, did not like this proposal. The people there are not Roman Catholic but belong to the Protestant Churches. That has been the situation there for a long time. This province says that no good will come of being given a parliament, and the people remain opposed to the idea. They would be mocked by the Roman Catholics and they do not want that concern. The Opposition in the English Parliament supports the claims of the people of Ulster. The Opposition says that if the Government insists on going ahead with this proposal, then the people of Ulster will stand and fight. Last week an incident took place in Ulster and that trouble showed the people at large that perhaps what the Opposition was saying is right. It began with a football match. One team was Roman Catholic, the other Protestant, made up of Anglicans and some others. In the middle of the game the Roman Catholic flag was raised. When the other side saw it they took it to be a challenge to fight and they raised their own flag. This was done by the spectators, not by the players. The fighting started. The game stopped. The fighting began with fist fights, then people used stones, then pieces of wood, and then guns; though very few of them had guns or pistols. More than 1000 people were involved in the fighting. Sixty were taken to hospital. This shows that the Protestants of Ulster and the Roman Catholics live uneasily with each other. The Government appreciates now the difficulty of what it is trying to do. Perhaps the Government will decide to separate Ulster from that Parliament.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This article is reprinted from Te Karere, August 1912.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘To Te Karere. My friend, greetings. Please publish these words of explanation from Te Pipiwharauroa 169 so that all can know about the beginnings of the Church of England and which show that it is wrong to say that it was started by Henry VIII. It is the case, Te Pipi, that I am one who is uncertain. Te Pipi says that the Church was born on the Day of Pentecost. It is not for me to disagree, but to point out why I was mistaken. I thought that Christ started the faith when at the age of thirty he was baptised (Luke 3.22). Now when Jesus was approaching thirty years of age he started the preaching about the Christ (Matthew 10. 1,7). He sent out his twelve Apostles. Was this where I was mistaken? Surely this is the beginning of the Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I write down the chapters and verses I am copying the paper. Therefore I make haste to show why I was mistaken. After Christ the Churches separated into Romans and Christians. The Church of Rome, spoken of as Catholics, was started by Peter. The Christian Church, says the Scriptures, was started by Paul. (Acts 11.26) ‘The disciples were first called Christians.’ Peter was criticised by Paul (Galatians 2.11). ‘When Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.’ ‘But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?’ [Galatians 2.14 AV]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 68 AD the Church of Rome was angry – Nero was the Emperor – and Paul and the Christians were thrown into prison. In 90 AD John was banished to the Island of Patmos – whence the Book of Revelation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have set down these stories in order to get to the time of Henry VIII. In 33 AD the Roman Empire turned to killing the Christians. By 371 the Church of Rome was called Christian; the real Christians had all perhaps been killed. The word in Revelation 14.6 was at last being fulfilled: ‘And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1154 an English cleric, Nicholas Breakspear, was made Pope of the Church of Rome. In 1517, Henry VIII declared that the Church of England was independent of the Church of Rome. Now, Henry died and Mary became Queen, and she returned the people to the Church of Rome. Mary died and Elizabeth became Queen and returned the people to the Church of England. When Elizabeth died a King succeeded and the Church was well established. In 1562 the Synod met; it was to be the ruling body of the Church. The clear teachings of the Church are in the Articles to be found on page 475 of the book called [<i>he rawiri</i> – a David i.e. The Book of Common Prayer and Psalms]. The teaching about the Church is found on page 192 of the Prayer Book: ‘I believe in one Apostolic and Universal Church.’ [‘I believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.’ BCP] On page 223 [see Response below] it says: ‘Wherefore, after this promise made by Christ, this infant must also faithfully, for his part, promise by you that are his sureties’ for this baptism. BCP] On page 478 it is said, ‘It is not right not to truly affirm and believe the three creeds, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and that which is called the Apostles’ Creed.’ [The Three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasius’s Creed, and that which is commonly called the Apostles’ Creed, ought thoroughly to be received and believed.’ BCP]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, my friend, Te Pipi, I am not being critical or unbelieving; but I am endeavouring to make clear our error, that of the ignorant. My friend, I did not know before about the Apostles. What I knew before about Christ and the Apostles was from the Old Testament. Best wishes, my friend Te Pipi.</span></div>

I have included them in Te Pipi so as to answer them properly. You will see that I have corrected some of the layout of some words the meaning of which was not clear to me because of the layout in Te Karere. I hope you will not be angry with me for that.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for your first words about the growth of the Church, you are right. It was begun by Christ. Pentecost is thought of as the Birthday of the Church because from that time the Church set about the work it had to do. Before that Christ himself was doing his work, although he also sent out his disciples to go to the towns to preach. <b>[6]</b> They had to learn that from him against the time they would be left. After his Resurrection then they would be really commissioned: ‘Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all people.’ (Mark 16.15; Matthew 28.19-20) He said to them that they were to go by and by, but were to wait until they received what was to strengthen them for that work. ‘Now you are witnesses of these things. And I shall send to you what was spoken of before by my Father; but remain here in this town, Jerusalem, until you receive power from on high.’ (Luke 24.48-49) When the Holy Spirit came, Peter stood up and preached with the result that nearly 3000 people turned to the faith, and it was said that ‘they devoted themselves to the Apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.’ (Acts 2.42) This marked the beginning of the Church working alone, without Christ but with the Holy Spirit within it strengthening it. That is why this day is called the birthday of the Church.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am greatly surprised at some of the things y0u say. You say that after Christ the Church split: the Church of Rome was established by Peter and the Christian Church was established by Paul. The Church of Rome fought against Paul and the Christians, throwing them into prison and banishing John to Patmos, so that by 330 AD all the Christians had perished and Rome took the name for itself. Kere, this is a terrible accusation you make against the Church of Rome. Listen! After Christ the Church was united. Do not be mislead by Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Galatia, Antioch and others, which are mentioned in Scripture as separate Churches, like these we know. These are the towns, and they are spoken of separately, but the Churches in those places are still part of the one Church. They are like your Church part of which is in America, part in England, and part in New Zealand. Although these are separate countries, I cannot say that therefore the Church in America is separate from that in England or that here in New Zealand. You also confuse the Roman Empire and the Church of Rome. The Roman Empire and the Church of Rome were separate from each other and were at loggerheads with each other. The gods of Rome were primitive gods. Because the faith was spreading strongly the Emperor of Rome was angry and set about killing the Christians. Nero, the Emperor you speak of, did not belong to the Church of Rome. Paul’s throat was cut with a sword and Peter was crucified by that Nero. The section of the Church in Rome, and in other places as well, was destroyed by the Roman Empire. From 64 AD until 313 AD the Roman Empire persecuted the Church, that is, the faith. It did not go on continuously. If there was a good emperor the persecution stopped; if the emperor was bad the persecution started again. During this long period there were ten outbreaks of persecution. The final instance was the worst, those of Diocletian and Galerius, between 303 and 313 AD. In 313 AD Constantine became emperor. Constantine was not a Christian. He was the emperor who extended Roman rule to the West and he lived in England. Because he did so well he was invited to go to Rome to take over as Emperor. When he was travelling to fight the existing Emperor a sign appeared to him – a cross stood in the sky, with words that said, ‘In this sign conquer.’ Constantine then adopted the sign of the cross as his fighting flag. In 313 AD most of the Empire came under his power. Constantine converted to the faith and brought an end to the persecution of Christians.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From my point of view the important subject in your article, Kere, is Revelation 14.6. You have shaped the account of the growth of the Church to conform to that verse. You say that all the Christians had been killed in line with what was said in that verse in Revelation, ‘And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth.’ It is a very good statement, but it would be best to seek carefully the right interpretation before speaking of it. You should know that the Christian faith was not wiped out; neither have people’s swords been done away with. The saying of the Christians in those days was, ‘The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the faith.’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">About Henry VIII. Henry did not split the Church in 1516. From the year 1530 Henry began to challenge the authority of the Pope and in 1536 that authority was rejected. Henry was not opposed to the Church but to the authority of the Pope. When Henry VIII died the faith of Rome was still his faith and he did not wish to reject some of the teachings of the Church. The whole Church, apart from a few who left, followed Henry, and neither did the English section of the Church like Papal authority. This was Henry’s relationship with the Church; he did not set up a new Church.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Augustine and the Bishops of England.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Church of Rome and the Celtic Church shared the main teachings of the faith. The things over which they differed were the day of the Resurrection, how Baptism should be administered, and the style of haircut adopted by the clergy. When baptising the Church of Rome dipped the candidate or poured water over him once, while the Celtic Church did it three times in accordance with the names of the Trinity. It appears to us that these are not very important differences. In 602 Augustine and the Celtic Bishops met in Wales. That meeting was meant by Augustine to unite them, with himself as Archbishop over the whole Church. When the Welsh Bishops arrived they went to see a Holy Man belonging to that Church who lived in the forest as a hermit, to ask him what they should do. That man said to them that if Augustine had the heart of Christ, an accommodating heart, they should agree to Augustine’s proposal. If he was a man with a hard heart then they should not consent. They asked him how they would know, and he said to them that they should delay their arrival and allow Augustine to arrive first at the meeting place. If he stood to greet them when they arrived then it was a sign that he was a man of a humble heart; if he did not stand then he was a man of a hard heart, a proud man. When those men arrived, Augustine did not stand to greet them because he was angry at having to wait for them. Those men decided that they would not consent to his proposal. One of them brought the meeting to an end with these words, ‘We will not listen to Augustine’s instructions, nor will we have him as Archbishop.’ At this the meeting broke up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Augustine returned to Gaul to arrange the details of his project. Gregory, the Roman Pope, had prepared the plan for his work. England was divided into two parts: twelve dioceses were to be under Augustine and twelve were to be under the Archbishop who would be based at York. Gregory’s vision was not realised. Augustine’s work did not prosper in England; he was only able to establish two dioceses – Canterbury and Rochester. Augustine only worked in one of the kingdoms of England. In the year after the death of Augustine only one English Bishop was consecrated by Rome. The work of Augustine and his companions was not firmly established. It was strong while Augustine lived and subsequently it declined and it was left to the Celtic Church to strengthen and establish it.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The word ‘Catholic’.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While we are speaking of the work of Augustine who came from Rome, it is good that we remind ourselves of the faith at that time, namely that of Rome, which was not like that held by Rome now. The <i>Pikopo</i> nowadays are known as the Catholic Church, that is, the Roman Catholic Church. The meaning of the word Catholic is ‘the Universal Church’. The name Catholic was given to the Church before and referred to its unity. And the branches of that Church in each place were known as the Church in those places. So the branch in Rome in those days was known as the Church of Rome; the branch in Ephesus was known as the Church in Ephesus; and so it was in other places: however, these were all branches of the one Church, the great Church; and it is to that great Church that the word Catholic refers. The Church of Rome now is not that Church but is a branch of that Church, just as the Anglican Church is a branch of that Church. There are three important things in that name. (1) It refers to the world-wide Church, and not to the Church of a single place. (2) It is the Church of all peoples and not of just one people. (3) It is the Church which holds on to all the teaching of God which he has made known in Christ, and it is not the Church which holds on to only some of the teachings of God.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Faults of the Bishop of Rome.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have pointed out above that people think that the Church of Rome in former times was like the Church of Rome we know now. To point out the error of this way of thinking we have written what follows. These faults of the Bishop of Rome, that is, of the Popes, did not all come about at the same time, but happened over a long time and happened imperceptibly. They began in a small way and also grew in a small way, but after many years they had gown into a large tree. Let me just mention at random some of the teachings of Rome now, to show how different it is from the Early Church. Rome says that the Pope is the head of the Church of Christ in this world. This is a basic teaching of the Church of Rome. But this idea was not known to the Early Church. No bishop was designated in those days as head of the Church. This teaching was also condemned by Gregory the Great, the man who sent Augustine. He did not agree with that teaching. In 853 [sic] Pope Nicholas declared <b>[8]</b> that it was the official position to be held by Christians. It was not the case before that time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One dogma of the today’s Rome that was not held by the Early Church is the Infallibility of the Pope. This is a new teaching of Rome. The early Church knew nothing of it. This Roman teaching poses a difficulty for Rome itself, because the whole Church condemned Pope Honorius. At the Sixth Council of the Universal Church, the Church condemned Pope Honorius for his teaching; he was called a heretic, someone who teaches what is wrong. That Pope was cursed by the Church and, for many centuries afterwards, when a new Pope was appointed he had to confirm the Church’s curse upon Honorius. What this shows is that the Pope can be wrong, but Rome is now saying that the Pope cannot be wrong. There are other teachings of the Rome in our day that were not known to the Early Church.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The town of London is not very far from where Augustine was in Kent, but it was ruled by a different king. The people of the Kingdom of Kent were Jutes; the people of the Kingdom of London were Saxons. There were three Saxon kingdoms: Essex in the East – this was London, and Sussex to the South, and Wessex to the West. All three kingdoms adjoined each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After Augustine had converted Kent to the faith, he focussed his work on Essex, that is, London. He told one of his men, Mellitus, to go there. In 604 Mellitus was consecrated as Bishop of London after the King of that place had converted to the faith. At that time London was a very difficult place in which to work because the people there were strongly attached to their native gods, and so Mellitus did not have an easy task in London, unlike Augustine in Kent.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The main battle in these days is that of the workers against the bosses. We hear news of strikes in all places; and it is not only determined men who are taking up that weapon, but also the women – those people with gentle hearts, and even school children. This is a new battle and its outcome cannot be known, whether it will be for the good or whatever. According to the workers the bosses are very wicked; the boss does no work for his living. At one large gathering of workers in England their leader prayed to God to strike down one of the English Lords and the thousands listening to the man’s speech said Amen. This is how things are.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The strength of working people now comes from their practice of uniting together in what are called Unions. There are Unions for each occupation. The strength of a Union depends on the number of people engaged in the occupation. There are two main organisations within the Union movement: one is called a Trades and Labour Party and the other is called the Federation of Labour. Most workers belong to the second organisation. Working people in favoured occupations tend to be in the first organisation. The idea amongst the second group is to get for themselves, the workers, conditions favourable to themselves without listening to anyone else. The first group says that all their disputes should be left for the law to solve and that they should obey the law. The sole thing sought by these groups is the well-being of workers, but one of them is a naughty child. In his heart he is against the law because he says that the law is in the hands of the bosses, but it will be snatched away. One of them is a good child who has no issue with the law. He thinks that if he takes the right approach the law will help him. He thinks that the path followed by his friend is difficult, and that if they follow that way they both will be defeated. This conviction of theirs is strengthened by the numbers of deaths suffered by those in other countries who have adopted the approach favoured by one of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The President of the Federation of Labour and his companions have been put in prison for the disturbances at Waihi. This trouble erupted spontaneously. It was caused by the withdrawal of the machine drivers of the Waihi Coal Mine from the Federation of Labour. Those men, <b>[9]</b> realising that the ways of the Federation of Labour were wrong, set up their own Union, in the belief that they should work within the law. The Federation was angry with them and tried to persuade them to stay but those men did not obey. The Federation called a strike. From that time until now the Federation has been threatening those men. If members of the Federation saw a driver going along the road they would follow behind him abusing him, saying that they would beat him up, that they would throw him into the water, threatening him in all they said. If he was seen going along someone would call out that they had seen him and before long 100 men and more would have arrived and would be following the driver and abusing him. Presently those drivers would not travel by themselves but only with police to protect them. Because of these actions by the Federation the Government gave instructions to send sufficient police to protect the drivers and other innocent people at Waihi and Waikino. The Federation called a halt to these actions and now some of those men, those who have been identified, are being tried for their disturbances. The first people to be summonsed could not be arrested because they had all been concealed. Some said that they were not there at the time; some said that they were there but did not participate, they were simply following behind without malicious intentions but only for pleasure and to see what was happening. The Judge instructed them to provide evidence [?<i>pono</i> - ?take an oath] and that they should put down money as a bond against against similar trouble in the future. They agreed to the Judge’s demands. The spokesman and some others did not agree to the Judge’s demands. They said that they would not provide evidence [?<i>pono</i>] lest it be said that they had done wrong, when the Judge had observed that they had done nothing wrong and they should be allowed to go. The Judge said that they had nothing to fear from his demand. They would not have to pay money but only be subject to bail and would have to provide evidence [?<i>pono</i>]. The Court’s wish was that this trouble should not occur again. If they did not fulfil the demand the Court would assume that they wished to carry on such actions, and since, in the eyes of the Court, they were illegal they would be sent to prison. Those men said that they would not provide evidence [?<i>pono</i>] nor would they provide bail, but if they were not released then they were prepared to go to gaol. This is why they are in prison.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All the working people in the Federation of Labour regarded the men they had sent to prison as heroes. They thought that they were like men sent by them to die for their high principles. The working men carry on their activities outside the prison by singing songs to those men and saluting their heroes. These activities still go on and every day increase in strength.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some of the members of Parliament are urging the Government to remove most of the Police from Waihi and Waikino. Some are urging that those in prison be released. The Government will not do this because the Federation has given no assurance that the trouble will not arise again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was no reason why the Federation should have difficulty with the Judge’s statement. But, as it is, they are still arguing that they were in the right. They put themselves in prison so that the people would think that their stand was right, insofar as they were not afraid of suffering. This appears to be their desire, to get the people on their side and to condemn the law which put them in prison without cause. What the outcome will be we do not know<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">;</span> time will tell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When our bird last took flight he carried some words about the death of the Emperor of Japan. On this flight he carries an account of the Burial of the Emperor and also of the death of General Nogi. On 13th of this month the Emperor’s coffin was carried from his house to the place where he was to lie. His coffin was built of timber growing in his town. There were multiple coffins – the inner coffin was enclosed in another which itself was enclosed in others. The coffin was 10 feet long and 5 feet across and weighed 1½ tons. The coffin was transported on an ox cart from his house to the hall where the people were to gather. Five oxen pulled the coffin. The bearers who walked beside the coffin were General Kuroki, General Oko, Admiral Togo, Rear-Admiral Lord <i>Haito</i>, and Admiral Lord <i>Koro Ihiumi</i>, the heroes of the war with Russia. <b>[10]</b> Twenty-five thousand soldiers and ten thousand sailors went along to protect the coffin. Many princes and leaders of the great powers of the world came to pay tribute at the funeral of the Emperor. When the proceedings in the hall were completed the body was carried from there, the coffin being carried on the shoulders. This time 50 men carried it. The burial place was at the top of the mountain. The coffin was carried to the foot of the mountain where it was loaded onto the cable-car and from there it was hauled to the summit of the mountain. All the people remained at the foot of the mountain. After the grave had been limed 80 doves were released and the bells of the temples were rung 108 times, the number showing the 10<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8</span> sinful aspects of man that had been overcome by the Emperor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Emperor left the sum of £100,000 as his gift to the nation. The amount spent on improving the roads at the time of the funeral as £25,000.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the Emperor’s coffin was carried from his home all the bells of the town rang. When those bells rang, General Nogi took his sword and cut his own throat. When his wife saw this she took the sword and killed herself with it. There were many tributes and much sadness at General Nogi’s suicide. The previous day he had gone to see the body which was laid out for the people to see. Afterwards he went to see his friends to say goodbye to them. They did not realise the significance of his farewell to them. Prince Yamakata urged him not to take his own life, but he gave no reply. Before their deaths they dressed in mourning clothes and dined. After their meal the bells rang and they killed themselves. Nogi did not think that his wife would also take her own life because in the letter he left he bequeathed his wealth to his wife. This practice of laying down one’s life out of respect for the Emperor is highly honoured by the Japanese. They think that the Emperor has gone to the next world to reign there and General Nogi has gone there also as his servant. The name of this practice is hara-kiri.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">General Nogi was 63. In 1877 he had his first experience of warfare. In 1894 at the beginning of the war between Japan and China he was made one of the Generals. At that time he attacked Port Arthur and captured it. After that battle he was made a Lord and appointed governor of an island off the coast of China. When the war broke out with Russia it was decided that he should attack Port Arthur, perhaps because he knew what the place was like before at the time of the war with China. This was when Nogi made his name. The Russian hero based in Port Arthur was Stoessel. Nogi’s assault began on 10th May 1904 and the fortress fell on 20th January 1905. Nogi lost 92,000 men during the assault on that fort – 58,000 in the fighting and 34,000 through sickness. The fort of Port Arthur was very strong; the great powers said that no-one would be mad enough to attack it. After the fall of Port Arthur, Nogi went to help General Oyama in the Battle of Mukden. This was the major conflict of the whole war; all the forces of both sides assembled there. General Nogi directed the left side of the Japanese army and General Oyama the right side. It is said that it was he who defeated the Russians in that conflict. Not long after the fighting began he had laid low the greater part of the Russian army, he attacked and they were defeated. When the Russians were defeated by him, those on General Oyama’s wing also fled. It is said that that man had no fear; he advanced his soldiers rapidly and that rapid advance of his soldiers caused consternation amongst the Russians and they fled. Two of his sons only died in that battle. One account has it that it was his grief at the huge number of men who lost their lives in the assault on Port Arthur that led him to take his own life. This is the story of General Nogi; his bravery is widely spoken of.</span></div>

Two men came from Hawaiki; their names were Hoake and Taukata. The canoe on which they came was a [?<i>Pungapunga</i>]. The place where it landed was at Te Pakira at Whakatane. <b>[11]</b> When they made land it lay on the sand. Some people went. They heard murmuring, then they heard an incantation. This was their incantation:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shine, sun, shine. Here is your woman sitting with us. She is Te Popokorua. [?<i>upoko </i>– ?a verse, a verse.] Shine, sun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These men went and were directed to the village. Fern root and tree fern from the village were cut but they pronounced them bad. Toiki-te-huatahi asked, ‘What are the foods from your homeland?’ They untied their belts and dried kumara fell out. Thereupon Toiki-te-huatahi searched for them and ate them with relish. Toiki-te-huatahi asked, ‘How does one get kumara?’ The two of them replied, ‘A piece of driftwood buffeted us as we swam hither. We fetched it, hollowed it out, and, when we had done this, we named it Totarakaria. When we had finished fashioning it, it had become a canoe and we named it Te Aratawhaowhao. Toiki-te-huatahi went to Hawaiki. As the canoe sailed very quickly to Hawaiki he named it Horouta. Because Toiki-te-huatahi stole Uenuku’s dog for food, Uenuku killed Toiki-te-huatahi. Toi died in Hawaiki. At the time of the Great Migration here, Kahukura and Rongoiamo brought it here. At this time it was named Takitimu. That ends the story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These words are taken from the writings of William Shakespeare. They are words of instruction, words of farewell, from a man to his son who is travelling to France. I don’t understand all his words, but I leave them for a person to ponder on and turn over, reading it for a second and third time, deciphering the difficult words. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1713. He was one of the wisest men in the world. It is said that ‘he is the interpreter of the heart of man.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And a few words of counsel to take to heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be a true nobleman. Do not give voice to your thoughts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And do nothing that springs from wrong thinking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be a friend to people, but not to all people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Your friends, once you have tested them,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bind to your soul with steel bands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But do not damage your hand in order to bring gratification</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To newly-hatched, featherless friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take care that you do not enter into quarrels, but if you do,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then be a man so that your enemy will fear you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Give your ear to people but your voice to few.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Think about a person’s words but hold to your own judgement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wear clothes for which you can afford to pay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not go for all the eye desires </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But let your clothes be good and not flamboyant,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because what the heart is like is often disclosed by the clothes worn,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And the French nobility are a discerning people and very conscious of dress.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not get into debt or lend money;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One loses money and friends by so doing;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And going into debt blunts the blade of industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The most important thing is: be true to yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let your integrity be as sure as night follows day,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And you will not be false to others.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thy friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But do not dull thy palm with entertainment </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of each new-hatch’d, unfledged comrade. Beware</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bear’t, that th’opposed may beware of thee.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But not exprest in fancy; rich, not gaudy; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For the apparel oft proclaims the man;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And they in France of the best rank and station</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Are most select and generous, chief in that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Neither a borrower nor a lender be:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For loan oft loses both itself and friend;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This above all, - to thine own self be true;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And it must follow, as the night the day,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thou cans’t not then be false to any man.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are many wise words in these lines to feed the soul, - and by such feeding the soul is strengthened, as the body and spirit are fed so that they are strong. These are some wise words: ‘Give thy thoughts no tongue,’ that is, ‘Don’t be quick to reveal what you are thinking to another person.’ ‘Borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry,’ that is, ‘Work is wearying and heavy when it is done to earn money to pay off debts incurred for things that no longer exist.’ Many Maori have felt the pain of being in debt. The Pakeha proverb says: Better to go hungry to sleep than to rise up heavily in debt. The Great Apostle says: ‘Owe no-one anything, except to love one another.’ (Romans 13.8) [lit. Do not leave unpaid for a long time what should rightly be given to another.] Not paying a debt when a person has money is theft, a sin, as is not making efforts to earn money with which to pay the debt. ‘What the heart is like is often disclosed by the clothes worn.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He suffered most through his eyes being operated on by the doctors. According to his secretary, because the doctors had not done the job well he was sad at heart and went downhill and died. His son received telegrams from the kings and the Governments of all nations lamenting the death of his father.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">General Booth<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'</span>s parents were not people who knew what it was to be saved. From when he was small he observed the situation of the English poor. When he turned to the faith he became aware of the dreadful situation of the poor: it was not only that they lacked this world’s goods but they were without the things of the Spirit. From childhood until he was 15 the Church of England was his Church. Afterwards he went to the Wesleyan Church. When he was there he opened his heart to the faith. At that time he began going to preach to the poor. He said that he didn’t deliver sermons but talked to them about what God was like. From then on he adopted that style of preaching, speaking heart to heart. He was not concerned as to whether he spoke the right words or how he spoke. His style was to converse. When he was 25 he was ordained as a Wesleyan minister. He was four years in that post. During those years he realised that in that position he was not going to be able to do the work he really wanted to do which was to preach to the poor in the way he wanted. He asked the management Committee of the Church to set him apart for that special work only<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> to be done according to his plan. He was not given permission. That was the end of his work as a minister and he went to do what he believed in his heart was the task he had been called to by God. From that time up to the present he did not spare his body as he did his work. When he eventually died it was not possible to count the number of people who had believed in God through his work, and he leaves behind 22,000 officers to do his work. He had been married to his wife for 55 years. That woman shared his heartfelt concerns and they were both powerful preachers. That woman is called the ‘Mother of the Salvation Army.’ They had three children, one boy and two girls. All became preachers in their parents’ organisation. <b>[2]</b> One of the girls has died. One is in America and she is the Head of the Salvationists in that country. The son now follows his father as General of the Salvationists. It is 22 years since General Booth designated his son to take his place. He put the name of his son in some boxes which he sent to the heads of his organisation in every land saying that in those boxes was the name of the man to be appointed after him. If he died those boxes were to be opened. When he died they were opened and it was discovered that his son was the new General. General Booth visited all parts of the world to preach the Gospel. He came to New Zealand four times, the first time in 1891 and the last time in 1905. He was a wonderful man. The source of his power was his firm faith in the grace of God and his love for people. He saw his calling as, ‘At all times and in every place I fight to bring the souls of men to God.’ We see at this time the fulfilment of that saying.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Coming of the Saxons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of the 5th century after the birth of Christ the Romans left England. It is important that we understand the reason for this return of the Romans to their own country. We told above how, in 43 AD, Claudius Caesar and his 800 ships arrived to invade England. He established himself as ruler over England and England remained a Roman colony for 300 years. Rome was the supreme power in the world then and ruled not only England but many other countries as well. Its practice was to take over a new country and to send one of its Generals with a host of supporters to protect that country. Since there were many countries under its rule a huge number of soldiers left their Roman base and went to protect its colonies abroad. While Rome retained its capability, it engaged in suppressing the peoples of the lands it had colonised. The longer Rome was in this position the more its strength declined and it could not maintain its position by warfare. At this time the many peoples of lands close to Rome were beginning to move. Eventually, although it tried to defeat these peoples and keep them outside its borders, it realised that in the long run it was not going to be able to. A decision was made then to abandon the distant colonies and to bring back the Generals and their soldiers to protect their home. This is why the Romans left England.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, it was said above that for 300 years England lived under the shadow of Rome. The Britons were formerly a warrior people but because they had lived under Rome for so long they had lost their skills with weapons. Like Maori today who have lived quietly under English rule for a long time and have lost the skills in the use of weapons that the ancestors had, the Britons were weak in the same way. When the peoples from the wilderness of Scotland rose up to fight the Britons, the Britons were defeated. The Britons realised that they were unable to fight their enemies from the wilderness in their own strength and they asked the Saxons to come and help them. The Saxons were a warrior people from inland Europe, from the places that are now known as Germany. They came to help the Britons. When they saw how good the land was and the weakness of the Britons they settled there and set about attacking the Britons and taking the land. The fighting went on for a long time and the Saxons took control of the whole land. The remnant of the Britons fled to mountainous and wooded places – to Wales and Cornwall. The faith disappeared from England and was taken to the wild places to which the remnant fled. The Saxons were not believers, therefore when they took over the lands the faith disappeared. They set about destroying the faith, killing the people and burning down the churches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Second Proclaimers of the Faith – the Faith of Ireland.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The faith spread to Ireland from England. The man famed for first preaching the faith to that land was Patrick who came from the South of England. This man is celebrated by the Irish and is called Saint Patrick. He is remembered by the Irish on 17th March. He went to preach to the Irish soon after the arrival of the Saxons in England. Before Patrick died the whole of Ireland had converted to the faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>[3]</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He set up many schools in Ireland to teach the people the truths of the faith. Some years after his death faith in Ireland declined and another man from England (actually from Wales) called Finian went to Ireland. He truly established and strengthened the faith in Ireland. Finian knew how to teach and his fame spread from Ireland to England and even to Europe so that noble children came from those places to Ireland to be taught by him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Columba</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The most famous of the students of Finian was Columba, a noble man from Ireland. There were no printing presses in those days such as we have now; for a man to get a book meant much work. Columba set about writing a book for himself, a copy of Finian’s. It was a huge task and took a long time to complete. When it was finished Finian said that the two books were his. Columba was angry and took their dispute to the king for judgement. The king found in favour of Finian: he said, ‘The person who owns the cow, owns the calf too.’ Columba started a battle following this judgement and his side was defeated. His punishment for starting this fight was that he was thrown out of Ireland and he was sent to preach the Gospel to the barbarians and to bring as many of them to the faith as had been killed in his dispute. Columba and his ten companions sailed in a boat and settled on Iona, an island off the west coast of Scotland. He arrived on that island in 564. He b<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">uilt </span>himself a church there and a school. Columba and his friends went from there to all parts of Scotland. By the time Columba died all of Scotland had turned to the faith and his church on Iona was a sacred shrine to which the kings of Scotland went to be crowned. For many years after his death Columba’s church remained the coronation place of the kings. The coronation seat of the kings was a rock and that rock is under the coronation throne of the kings of England now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With the above stories we end our story of this period in the life of the Ancient English Church. We have given the name Celtic to that Church because that was the name of the ancient peoples of England, Scotland and Ireland. The section of the Celts in England were known as Britons in those days, and England was known by that name and still uses it now. With the arrival of the Saxons from mainland Europe the Celts and their faith were driven out of the land. The name Saxons encompassed three separate peoples. There were the Saxons who settled in the South of England, the part around London. The Jutes settled in Kent, also in the South, but to the East of the Saxons. The Angles settled in the North; this tribe had most of the land. From the Angle tribe we get the name English and also England; the language has evolved into the forms English and England. The Angles and Saxons were the largest tribes and all people speaking the English language are known as Anglo-Saxons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Saxons had been in England for a long time some Angle children were taken to Rome as slaves. One famous Roman at that time was Gregory; later he became Pope for Rome. When he was going through the market place he saw the children standing there on sale. He asked where the children came from. He was told that they were from Briton and were Angles. Gregory responded that that was true for they had Angel faces. He had the idea of going to preach to the Gospel in Briton but he could not go because he was needed at home. Twenty years later when he was installed as Pope he sent a party of men to preach the Gospel there and he chose Augustine to lead them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 597 Augustine and his party of forty arrived in England. The King of Kent was married to the daughter of the King of Paris. That woman and her father were both Christians. When she arrived in Kent the King agreed to bring a minister for her. This is why Augustine went to Kent. He told the King the reason for his coming and it was agreed that he should live in Kent and preach there. The King presented the Queen’s church to Augustine. Before Augustine and his friends had been at work for a year, the King and his tribe had turned to the faith. On the eve </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>[4]</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">of Pentecost Sunday the King and some of the tribe were baptised. At that time also Columba died, he who had been the missionary to the North and who lived at Iona. But when he died the news of his holiness had reached all places and all of Scotland and its islands had turned to the faith. After the conversion of the King, Augustine crossed to Gaul to be consecrated as Bishop, for Gregory had appointed him to be Archbishop for the English. It is said that, on Christmas Day, Augustine baptised 10,000 people. The King gave him some land and also a house to live in at Canterbury. He built there a large church and a monastery. That monastery still bears the name of Saint Augustine. When the work had grown in Kent Augustine wrote to Gregory, ‘What am I to do about the British Bishops?’ Gregory replied, ‘All of them have been placed under your authority.’ In saying this Gregory was wrong. Here he was disobeying the law laid down by one of the great Councils of the Universal Church in the past. That law says that no Bishop shall impose his authority over the Bishops of a place if those Bishops were not originally under his authority. Rome had no rights over the Celtic Church and its Bishops which would allow Gregory to bring that Church under the direction of Augustine. Now we see how that Church views Gregory’s statement.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the last edition our pet told of the gift left to the people of New Zealand by Sir John Logan Campbell. This month we learn of the gift of a wealthy Wellington man. This man’s name is T G Macarthy. This man, Macarthy, belonged to the Roman Catholic Church. He was a humble man and assisted all kinds of good projects. He did not like his assistance to good works to be known. Now that he has died the world can see at last from his will his graciousness in helping with good projects. How much money Macarthy had is not known but it is said to be between £500,000 and £800,000. In that will he set aside £189,000 for his family. Half of what remains is for his widow and the other half is for the people of New Zealand, to help schools and to support good projects for the poor. Should his widow die, her proportion will be added to that for the nation. The money he has left to the people is close to a quarter of a million pounds, and on the death of his widow his gift to the people will reach half a million. This money will be administered by trustees. It will remain in the bank and the interest will go to causes decided by the Committee – the schools and projects to help the poor. The Committee named in his will consists of the Governor, the Roman Catholic Archbishop, and the Mayor of Wellington. This is a very gracious gift on the part of this man to the people. It is right to praise such people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, greetings. I have this heart-felt wish. It is like this: are you able to tell those who are still ignorant, first, how many canoes brought our ancestors from Hawaiki and what are the names of those canoes, and second, how long ago did the faith cross to Aotearoa? I put these questions for you to answer and rectify.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There were many canoes, The most famous are these:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Aotea</i>. This canoe landed at Taranaki. The chief on board was Turi. Toto built the canoe. It and Matahorua were built of a single totara.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Arawa. It made land at Whangaparaoa. The chiefs were Tamatekapua and Ngatoroirangi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Kurahaupo</i>. There is uncertainty about where this canoe landed. Different accounts have it making land at Tairawhiti, or also at Whangaparaoa, or at Wharekahika. Rongoueroa was the chief. Some accounts say that his canoe was wrecked at Rangitahua and the people on board were brought to New Zealand on Aotea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Matatua</i>. This canoe landed at Whakatane. Its chief was Toroa. It is said that this was part of Aotea and not of Matahorua.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Tainui</i>. This made land at Whangaparaoa. The chiefs were Rakataura and Hoturoa. It sailed from Whangaparaoa to Hauraki, was hauled by way of Otahuhu to Manukau, and left at Kawhia. Some accounts say that it did not get to Manukau, but it was carried and returned to Hauraki whence it sailed by sea around the tail of the fish [North Cape] arriving at Manukau and then Kawhia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Takitimu</i>. It is said that this canoe landed at Tairawhiti and some of the people on board settled where it landed. Eventually this canoe stopped at Murihiku [Southland]. The important <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">younge</span>st child there is called Takitimu. Tamatea and Ruawharo were the chiefs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Tokomaru</i>. This made landfall at Whangaparaoa but did not stay there. It went from there around the tail of the fish [North Cape] and finally stopped at Tongaporutu, Taranaki. Manaia was chief of this canoe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Horouta</i>. The accounts of this canoe are confused; some say it is Takitimu. Some stories also say that this canoe arrived before the Great Migration of Arawa and the others. It then returned to fetch kumara. Best says that the people who came on this canoe were black, were known as Ngaitamawhiro, and lived at Matata. The story is like this. Kahukura and Rongoiamo arrived at the pa of Toikairakau. They were fed with fern root. When they expressed their dislike of it, Toi asked, ‘What are the foods of the place the two of you come from?’ They loosened their girdles and the dried kumara fell out. When Toi tasted it he wanted more. He asked, ‘What is that food?’ Kahukura answered, ‘Kumara.’ He was then asked where it came from and answered that it was found in Hawaiki. Toi asked, ’How can I get there?’ Kahukura was looking at the canoe. He indicated it and asked, ‘What is that?’ He was told, ‘It is a canoe.’ Kahukura said, ‘You can fetch the kumara in that.’ That canoe was Horouta. So Horouta returned to Hawaiki to fetch kumara. There are perhaps some remaining elders who can elucidate this story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the names of the important canoes, the canoes of the Great Migration. There are others which are not so well known. Some accounts say that as many as 90 canoes came to New Zealand. These are some of those lesser canoes:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Mamari</i>. This canoe came before the Great Migration. It met up with Kupe when Kupe returned. It landed at Hokianga.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In December 1814, Samuel Marsden and his companions arrived, bringing the faith to New Zealand. On 25th December Marsden preached the first sermon to the Maori of New Zealand. This was the beginning of the growth of the faith. In 1825 the first Maori was baptised. In 1842 the first Bishop of New Zealand, Bishop Selwyn, arrived. In 1853 the first Maori minister was ordained – Rota Waitoa. The faith has been here in New Zealand for 98 years. – Editor.]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A total of 61 Maori items are in the Auckland Exhibition, according to the newspapers. They write about two things. One is a greenstone <i>mere</i>. That <i>mere</i> belonged to Apikara of Wharekahika. The other item is a <i>tiki</i>. This also is of greenstone. Its name is Te Maungarongo [The Peacemaker]. The explanatory material says that the <i>tiki</i> belonged to Rangi Purewa, a tohunga from the Whakatu district [Nelson], When Te Rauparaha arrived in that area he and a chief called Pukekohatu were at loggerheads. The outcome of their [?<i>ahua</i> sic] [?conf<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">rontation</span>] was that Te Rauparaha carried off one of Pukekohatu’s relations as his slave. Pukekohatu went to Rangi Purewa in search of some way of getting back his relation. Rangi Purewa gave him that <i>tiki</i> telling him to tie it around the neck of his wife’s female slave, and to present that slave and the <i>tiki</i> as payment for his relative. That was how Te Rauparaha got that <i>tiki</i>. How it came into the possession of Te Kooti is not known. From Te Kooti it came to the Pakeha and it now lies in that building in Auckland. If anyone can clarify the stories of these things, do write to our pet, so that we can know whether these stories are right or made up.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday 4th August, Ihaka Te Tai and Hoani Keika, were licensed as lay readers [<i>hunga panui rawiri</i> – people who read the Prayer Book in public], they were made lay representatives for the Kaipara district. Because of the troubles of the Bishop of Auckland it was Mr H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span>, Archdeacon of Waimate, who presented the licences. This service was held in St Mary’s Church, Parnell. The clergy present were Archdeacon H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span>, and the Revs Make Wiremu and Hetekia Heke. Hetekia preached. The people in the congregation were the girls of Queen Victoria School and the boys of St Stephen’s School.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The people who have been presented with this licence are the first members of the Committee for providing services to places where there are Maori in Auckland such as prisons, mental asylums, and Orakei and Mangere in Onehunga. The Committee spoken of works under the aegis of the group which is known in Auckland as the Group for the Growth of the Maori People and in the Gisborne area as the Party of the New World.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From the setting up of this group in 1908 they have begun to work at tasks arranged by the Group for them and their helpers at St Stephen’s. Now that their work has been recognised and in some ways made easier, they will be more effective in their work for the Church and for the Group also.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, there may be some who say things like, What good is Church work in helping us to learn and to run our land? It has taken a long time, since 1908, for them, in the spirit of the motto of the Group printed above – ‘Fight the fight’, to achieve what they now have. Our hearts’ hope is that this Group will continue to urge the people to consider the object of their group which is to seek ways of ensuring the well-being of the people.</span></div>

His boat had not been sailing for long when he went to adjust the sail. While he was adjusting the sail his foot slipped and he fell into the sea. He was alone in his boat. His body was found on the Saturday. Hori was a strong swimmer but it is said that perhaps his large shoes had caused cramp.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Supreme Court</i>. This case came before the Supreme Court.

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The land under the water</i>. The land under the waters of Lake Rotorua is land with a native title which has come down to us from our ancestors, and it is one with the land ashore.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last month the New Zealand Government received a request from the English Government that the Governor of New Zealand return to England. He is wanted as a Commissioner to enquire into the activities of the Government of India. This is a very important position and it is thought that the Governor of New Zealand is the right person for it. This is why he received this request from the Mother Government. The English Government has now received Lord Islington’s agreement. In December the Governor will return to England and at the same time the new Governor will arrive. Lord Islington has been Governor of New Zealand since June 1910. He has only served two years but although his time has been short he has been greatly appreciated by all the people, Normally he would have another three years before his service in New Zealand ended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lord Islington was a member of Parliament in England when he was there and the breadth and depth of his thinking were apparent. At the time of the Boer War he went to fight, He was ten months in the fighting and gained a medal of honour for what he did in that war. Afterwards he went to India to look at the situation in that land, at areas of strength and of weakness when it came to fighting. He also looked at the running of the Government of that country. He visited America on several occasions as a Commissioner to investigate important issues. Because of Lord Islington’s work as a Commissioner and because he knows the workings of India, he has been chosen to be Chairman of the Commission of Enquiry into the running of the Government of India. He was strongly urged by the Prime Minister of England to undertake this and the Governor agreed. He was not keen to leave New Zealand so soon because he likes the country and its people. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have learned from America that Captain Lord, the captain of the California, has been dismissed for his failure to go to the aid of the Titanic at the time of the disaster. Captain Rostron of the Carpathia was overloaded with money and honours. In their great gratitude for the help he gave the Titanic he was given a gift of £100,000. Many cups were presented to him by some of the survivors as gifts from them. The American Government gave him a great medal of honour [the Congressional Gold Medal]. This award is not given without consideration but a bill is first brought to Parliament and if it is passed then the medal is awarded to the person. Captain Rostron is the seventh person to be awarded this Medal. Admiral Dewey, the American hero in their battle against the Spaniards, has not yet received this medal. The Company that owned Titanic gave Captain Rostron £100, and two of his Officers, £50; all the other members of the crew of the Carpathia from the Officers to the seamen received a month’s pay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Titanic hit the iceberg, the California was the closest ship. The survivors said that they saw the lights of a ship not far from them. They called for it to help them but it did not change course. In the Court of Enquiry, Lord, the captain of the California, confirmed that he had seen some rockets but he was not keen to come near for fear of the ice. In the Attorney-General’s speech at the conclusion of the Court Enquiry he said that he had diligently searched through the testimonies of the witnesses in Court but was unable <b>[9]</b> to find a single reason to justify the decision of Captain Lord not to go to help the ship in distress – he had not found a single reason. One of the lawyers said that had California gone on full power to the ship calling for help it could have got there safely, and may have been able to save all the people on board. The Judge said that Captain Lord committed a great sin – he violated the first rule of people who go to sea – that is, that a nearby ship uses full power to go to the aid of a ship that has had an accident. Captain Lord was condemned by all the lawyers in the Court of Enquiry, while the Carpathia was praised.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 23rd of this month the Supreme Court sat to try Tamehana on the charge of murder. Tamehana did not wish to be represented by a lawyer but the Court has the right to impose its rules on him. When the Court proceedings opened some days before, the Judge pointed out to the Lawyers of the Court what the accused wanted and went on to say that it was the wish of the Court that there should be lawyers for all cases dealt with by the Court. He went on to ask if one of them wished to present the case for the accused, but he was not able to say whether or not he would be paid: that matter was for the Justice Department. W P Endean stood and announced that he would present the case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Judge: Do you understand the situation as regards being paid?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Endean: I understand. There is no rule about that. I volunteered because I have my own concern that we hold to our code that no-one should be sentenced to death without a fair trial and without help during that trial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Judge praised Endean’s statement and gave him the case to handle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This case did not take long to deal with. Tuhitare, Te Owai, and the Pakeha and some others stood before the Court to tell what they knew of the incident. They told the same story. Tamehana had being drinking whisky with some others immediately before that incident; he and Hamana quarrelled; and while they were fighting he stabbed his younger brother with the knife. After the witnesses had told their stories, Endean, the lawyer for the accused, stood to address the Court and the Jury. He said, ‘The main thing for the Court to consider is the state of mind of Tamehana at the time of the incident: was he or was he not aware of what he was doing? The witnesses have said that the Pakeha brought six bottles of whisky and they drank them. It would seem that Tamehana alone cannot have consumed less than half a bottle, and from the stories it appears that the whisky was consumed straight; it was not diluted. In the statements it was said that the accused had not eaten dinner,nor had he had supper, at the time the incident occurred. In these circumstances the whisky would have had <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">dreadful</span> effects inside him. Therefore, if the Jury decides that his thoughts were befuddled at the time of the incident, the right thing is for them to declare that this crime was one of manslaughter and not murder. For another thing, nowhere in the statements of the speakers was there mention of <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">i</span>ll-will between Tamehana and Hamana.’ After his speech, the Judge spoke to the Jury. His remarks were a clarification for them of the law about this crime. He said that they had the right, if they found it clearly to be the case, to declare that the crime was one of manslaughter even though the accused was on trial for murder. ‘The rule laid down by the Court of Appeal is that if it is found that the person was drunk at the time the murder was committed, the crime was not murder but manslaughter, because a person who is drunk lacks the capacity of intention, which is the prime necessity for murder. The lawyer for the accused has asked you to designate this as a crime of manslaughter. That was as far as he went and it was on that that he took his stand. It is the case that a great deal of liquor was drunk at the time of the incident, and I believe that this crime would not have happened had there not been that liquor. One aspect of this incident that the Jury must not forget is that this occurred in the one family. Although the witnesses have said that Tamehana was not drunk, you may decide that there was sufficient liquor there to disorder the thoughts, and that the crime of the accused was committed at a time when his thoughts were confused by whisky, and that it was not something carefully planned beforehand. That would indicate to you that his crime was manslaughter.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Jury went to their room to make a decision. After 45 minutes away they emerged with a verdict that the crime was one of manslaughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Judge turned to the accused and said, ‘The Jury has been very easy on your crime. It is not for me to say that their decision is wrong. <b>[10]</b> I must pass a severe sentence upon you. But I do not forget this, that the Jury has ruled out intention in your crime. It was your younger brother whom you killed. I sentence you to seven years in prison. I cannot give a more lenient sentence than that.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two Maori were tried in Auckland for attempting to steal another’s money. Their names are Noka Hukanui and Moumou, Hukanui’s son. The money, £9 1s 7d, belonged to Paopao Patena and was his share in a block he had bought in Waikato. Paopao had not collected the money which the Board was still holding. Hukanui knew about that money and decided that he and his son would go and get it for themselves. Their plan was that Moumou would go to the Board’s Office and tell them that he was Paopao Patena and ask to be given his money that was waiting there. Moumou was not very keen on his father’s idea. The two of them went to the Office. They decided that Hukanui should talk to the clerk of the office while the other said that he was Paopao and wished to collect the money that was waiting for him there. The Board was not happy with their explanation and said that they should get some proof to confirm what they said. Those Maori went. They were gone for a long time and then appeared again with a Pakeha. The rightness of their claim was acknowledged and the money was paid over. Afterwards their deception , their theft, became known. It is not clear how it became known. Perhaps the real Paopao Patena went to the Office and then it was known. The two were followed and found by the policeman who questioned them. When they realised that their theft was found out Hukanui repaid the money. Their crime was referred to the Supreme Court. Their loyal Pakeha was also summonsed for assisting in their theft. Their desire to get the money without shedding any sweat had very serious consequences.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 11th of this month there was a major earthquake in Turkey. It is said that the epicentre of that earthquake was at sea in the narrow strait that links the sea to some small inland waters. The name of that place is the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dardanelles</span>. There are two large towns beside that sea. These towns suffered badly in the earthquake. All the houses were destroyed; there was not a single house that was not at least partially damaged. All the people of those towns and of smaller nearby towns are living without shelter, food or water. The number of people who died is not known but the accounts say that there were very many. Those now known to have died number 3,600.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An expert in these matters says that this is a time when earthquakes happen because of the relationship of the moon and the sun to the earth. He thinks that there will be a major earthquake like this one or larger even in Mexico, America. There may be some smaller earthquakes in New Zealand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The unrest amongst the smaller national groups living under the rule of Turkey is increasing. On 7th of this month there was an uprising in Kochana, a town in Northern Macedonia. Bombs – that is, something like dynamite – was thrown by some Muslims into a crowded place. The people of that place are Christians. It is said that 50 Christians were killed and 200 injured, but it is thought that they are unlikely to live. The explosion of the bombs triggered terrible fighting. Everyone rose up again their neighbour like animals. The Christians of Bulgaria are those who suffered the most losses to the Muslims. Bulgaria is very angry at Turkey for this outrage. Turkey is being urged to find quickly the source of the trouble and to punish the perpetrators. Turkey has said that it will quickly investigate the matter. If Turkey does not comply with its request that the perpetrators be punished, Bulgaria may declare war against Turkey. This is one of the smaller countries under the rule of Turkey. One of those small countries, Montenegro, has risen up and is attacking Turkey, but the conflict is not being called a war by the whole population. They have just begun their operations. They have captured three Turkish forts. A company of Turks entered that country and were defeated. Efforts are under way to make peace between them, but there are many difficulties. Outside powers have called upon them to settle that trouble.</span></div>

Turkey is giving consideration to suspending its Government. That Government has not yet been suspended and they are still at loggerheads. Now the Albanians are lacking food. Indications are that 50,000 are without food. What the outcome of this will be is not known. If they do not get food they may turn to crime to survive.</span></div>

Now there is talk of making peace and the most recent news is that the two sides are moving tentatively towards making peace. However they have been engaged in a major conflict in recent days. They fought for one whole day. Altogether 6 Italians were killed and 80 were wounded. The Arab casualties are not known but accounts speak of a large number, and they were defeated in that battle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 11th June the first meeting of the new Horouta Council was held. The members who attended were Paratene Ngata, Horomona Paipa, Ehau Pakitai, Wi Herehi, Renata Tamepo, Peta Marikena, and Henare Ahuriri. All the Te Whanau-a-Apanui members were absent; not one of them arrived. This was an important meeting. Almost all the Ngati Porou chiefs attended. Apirana Ngata attended and opened the meeting.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the Monday the visitors arrived at Te Araroa; that was also the day when the village was gazetted. The Council meeting was extended to the Tuesday morning. On the Monday night there were the greetings and many fine things were said. The main topic was the stopping of the sale of liquor to Maori in the Horouta district; it was the first Council to prohibit the sale of liquor. Many canoes sailed on the rough seas of the vote, some capsized, and only one, Horouta, made it to the shore. Most of the speeches praised the abolition of the sale of liquor. It has been of great benefit, and although some people are still seen drunk, it is like the cry of the vanishing weka, like the cry of the disappearing weka, which tomorrow will be completely gone. These were the words of one of those who supported the sale of liquor, and he was also one of those who stood up sincerely for the liquor side. He agreed that benefits had come to Te Araroa with the ending of the supplying of liquor to Maori. Some cautionary statements were made urging support for the law since the eyes of the whole country were on Horouta to observe the outcome of the vote. Such were most of the speeches made while it was still daylight. There were also statements urging the Council to be resolute at this first meeting. Apirana Ngata clarified that the main work of the marae committees was to improve the marae and not to reminisce. At the opening of the Council meeting, Paratene Ngata, chairman of the previous council, was elected as Chairman. Many matters were dealt with by the Council including the Maori telephone line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many things were accomplished besides the Council business. Paratene Ngata and Pene Heihei paid over the money from wool from Ahikouaka and Waiomatatini, and it was found that it was much more than that received from leases. The affairs of the Waiapu Farmers’ Trading Company were dealt with. This is a new company for Maori only, although the clerks and the people of the store are all Pakeha. The company has 10,000 shares at £1 a share but the company had not long been floated before almost all the shares were taken and perhaps the number of share will be increased from 10,000. The Company’s store at Tikitiki is almost completed, a large building, and perhaps in time branches will be established in other places. It appears that this Company is set to grow into a large company. Ngati Porou is still committed to its activities – raising sheep, erecting a telephone line, abolishing liquor, and now <b>[2]</b> establishing a trading company. This company is competing with the Pakeha shops which have bee greased with Maori money. The Tikitiki store has been built in front of the Pakeha shop and it could well lead to the closure of the Pakeha shop. That’s enough of these jottings for the present. Best wishes to the Waiapu Company and all Ngati Porou.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, please publish my notice about Bishop Williams’ challenge so that it is seen by the canoes which float here, Takitimu, Matatua, Kurahaupo, Te Arawa and others. His challenge was like this; it was a challenge to the canoes which float on the Dominion of New Zealand, that is, to the people on board, to give thought to collecting money for Hukarere Girls’ School. The message is that the Bishop has received in his hand seven hundred and forty-three pounds (£743) from Maori. Since the year the old school was burned down I, on behalf of Horouta, have given the Bishop of Waiapu five hundred pounds (£500), the consequence of the enthusiasm of the leaders of Horouta. So, my friends, hurry up and kill the whale spouting forth in Heretaunga; the fish will not soon die if we give [?<i>matahitahitia</i> - ?individually]. If these canoes sail to strike at it, it will be easily killed. Such are the words of your friend,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 25th June Paraone Pohokura Turei entered upon the sleep that is called the long sleep at his home at Kopuaroa, Waipiro Bay. The disease from which he died was typhoid fever. He was the first person from Ngati Porou to die of this fever this year but he brought back his illness from Gisborne. There was a family difficulty and he and his y0unger brother, Teki, went to Gisborne. They were there for a week before returning but the germ or the fever had taken up residence in them. After he had been home for a week Paraone had to take to his bed; the severity of his illness meant that he had to lie down. While Paraone lay ill in Waiapu his brother, Teki, was lying in bed in Opotiki, also suffering from fever. Their sister and her husband and children were in Gisborne; it was the husband’s illness that took them there. When Paraone went down with it his sister returned. After they had been at home for a week the child went down with the fever and is now seriously ill. These three were selected out of all who returned from Gisborne, the source of the typhoid fever. There are some others from Ngati Porou who returned from Gisborne who have been struck down by typhoid fever. Maori do not believe in the precautions taken by Pakeha against typhoid fever and that it is infectious. Maori have looked around and have seen how dreadful this awful disease is. Soon people will be reluctant to go to Gisborne which seems to be haunted by it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the disease struck Paraone he was strong - then he became ill. Paraone had a sturdy body and was a great sportsman; but when the illness hit him he was unable to move or to fight his illness, and he had not been lying in bed for long before he died.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paraone was the second son of Rev Mohi Turei’s wife, Kararaina. He started school at Rangitukia. Rev Poihipi Kohere, Henare Kohere, Terei Ngatai, Pekama Ka and others also attended Rangitukia. When he left Rangitukia, Paraone went to Te Aute College. He was there at school for several years and it was there that his skill at rugby was discovered. After Te Aute he was at Te Raukahikatea and studied there for some years. The thing for which he was famous during those years was rugby. When Paraone played the eyes of all the spectators were on him. Paraone was a very elegant exponent of that game – I think he was one of the best rugby players in New Zealand. When he was ordained as a minister he did not forget that recreation so that presently the elders said that rugby was the death of Paraone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1908 Paraone was ordained Deacon and he was made minister of the Parish of Whareponga though he lived at Waipiro. When the Rev Aperahama Tamihere of the Parish of Tuparoa died, the Parishes of Whareponga and Tuparoa were united under the name of the Parish of Hikurangi and Paraone was made Minister. In 1910 he was ordained Priest. He had been minister for four years before he died. He spent more years in education than as a minister and therefore the Maori heart said, ‘what a great waste.’ But we do not know the mind of the Almighty and we must not grumble. <b>[3]</b> He has perhaps fixed a time for bringing an end to the work of his servant in this world, and perhaps he has an important task for him in heaven. We do not know. Paraone’s people lamented greatly. Paraone was a favourite with both the children and the elders and the children and elders vied with each other to see who could lament the loudest. There was very great lamentation on the part of Ngati Porou for their minister when the body arrived at Whareponga, where he was buried at Te Taiporutu. People were very distressed. The main reason why people loved Paraone and lamented over him was that he was kind and meek of heart. The best flower in the whole world is a humble heart. Meekness was the flower that blossomed in Paraone and this was recognised by people. Paraone was a young person; he had not reached maturity, being only 28. He had not yet reached the years of eldership. Had he reached them, who knows what he would have done, and said, and achieved; but the Creator knows – ‘his will be done.’ The greatest sorrow is that of his wife whose children are now orphaned, and of his father who for many years has been confined to bed, and of his mother and all the family.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Prime Minister has told the House that he has chosen Thomas Mackenzie to be New Zealand’s Commissioner in England. This is an important post and it is a great honour for people to be chosen for it. All sides are happy at Mackenzie’s appointment to the position. All agree that he is a great man, and that Mackenzie is the best person for the appointment. He is a man who is familiar with all the business that has to be done in that job. He agreed to take the position and also said that he will try to open up ways for the sale of New Zealand produce in other lands. He is a man who has lived in England where he was involved in important business and so it was thought that he is the right man for the position. The previous Commissioner was Sir William Hall-Hones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are three sources of the Church in England:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, the ancient English Church – the Celtic Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second was the preaching of the Irish and Scottish missionaries who went to northern and central England.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third was the mission of Augustine from Rome to preach to the people of Kent. Kent was a Kingdom in the South of England, but on the Eastern side close to mainland Europe. By whom and just when was the faith first preached in England? This is a question to which a scholar, Professor Bright, says there is no answer. Buller, the historian, says, ‘We see the light of the word of God shining here but we do not know who brought it.’ There is a statement by Theodor<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">et</span>, one of the early Fathers who said that Paul and some of the Apostles converted the people of Britain, that is, of England, to the faith. However, although Paul may have gone to England, there is no clear statement showing that he did go there. In the ancient Welsh songs it is said that Padarn was the man who took the faith to England. In those songs it is said that Padarn was the one blessed by God. Some of the ancient stories say that Joseph of Aramathea and his wife brought the faith. The place in which he planted the faith was Avalon. He built himself a church there. This was the first church in England. The site of that house can still be seen in that place, but it is impossible to say whether it is the site of that building or another. That building, the site of which can be seen now, was an ancient building. It is said that it was built before 300 AD. Joseph stuck his walking stick in the ground there and it grew into a tree. It is called the Sacred Tree. That is the oldest tree growing in England. Such are the stories of Joseph. In 1185 the church at Avalon was burnt down – not the one built by Joseph – but it was called St Joseph’s. Henry II gave orders that <b>[4]</b> the church be rebuilt because, according to him, it was the parent of the holy people. One of the old historians says that Aristobulus was the first Bishop of Avalon. He died in 99 AD and for many years afterwards his death was commemorated on 15th March.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Britons were not a people who knew how to build houses. Before the Romans arrived in England it was not appreciated that bricks and stone could be used to build houses. The houses were built of wood and covered with reeds and timber. The sides were covered with dirt, that is, with clay. The windows were covered with cloth. This was what the first churches in England were like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the time before, there were not many stories of the growth of the faith amongst the Britons, but many of the Church Fathers of the time say that the Britons turned to the faith before 200 AD. One writer says that there was a Bishop of London in 180 AD. It is thought that the first preachers came from Gaul and not from the East. In 363 Athanasius said that the British people held to the faith, that is, they did not follow the false teaching of Arius against whom he was fighting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Between 193 and 216 AD Tertullian wrote these words: ‘Christ is being proclaimed amongst barbarian peoples, and rules over the peoples who have not been subjected to the strong power of Rome, the distant places of Spain, Gaul and Britain.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Persecution of the Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of the fourth century when Diocletian was Roman Emperor, the Church of Britain, that is, of England, and all other Churches suffered terrible persecution. It lasted a long time and much blood was shed. Men, women and even children were urged to abandon the faith and, if they refused, they were put to death.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The First Martyrs for the Faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the time of the persecution we have spoken of above, Aaron and Julius were put to death at Caerleon-upon-Usk in the province of Monmouthshire. But the first person in England to die for the faith was Alban. He was a nobleman from Rom<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">e</span> and was killed at Verulamium, which is the Roman name for the town now known as St Albans. Alban was killed because he helped a minister, a Priest, who was fleeing from his persecutors. Alban hid that minister in his house. When Alban saw that minister’s goodness he converted to the faith. The minister urged him to agree to give him up to die because he was not worthy of the faith, but that minister was a preacher and it was better that he live. After a long time the minister agreed and they exchanged clothes. When the persecutor arrived Alban was taken to the the top of a hill outside the town to be put to death. When his persecutor saw his courage he cast away his sword saying that he was not able to put to death such a good and courageous man. Other soldiers did the same and were put to death with him at that place. Many people from that town came to see the execution of Alban.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Constantine was Roman Emperor a church was erected on the spot where Alban was martyred. Afterwards, in 739, King Offa of England built a monastery there. That building provided a home for the missionaries and a place where the faith was taught. Afterwards, during the twelfth century a cathedral was built at that place and it still stands today.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ten years after the death of Alban, in the year 314 AD, the Church was firmly established in England insofar as all the marks of the Church were in place and there were Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In 314 AD Constantine summoned a Council of the whole Church to be held in Arles in Gaul. The accounts of that meeting say that three Bishops from England, one Priest, and one Deacon attended. The names of those Bishops were Eborius of York, Restitutus of London and Adelphius of [?<i>Kerono</i>]. The first clear accounts of the Church of England start now. In 347 AD a Council was held at [?<i>Hararika</i>] attended by Bishops from England, <b>[5]</b> and some English Bishops attended the Council at Sirmium in 359 AD.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 23rd of this month Edward, Prince of Wales, reached the age of eighteen. It was an important day for the Prince and also for the realm because he is now officially called an adult. Before this the Queen stood in for the King if he were away for a long time or if he had an accident. Now the Queen has relinquished that duty and it falls on the Prince; he is now the King’s deputy. When he became Prince of Wales he had his own office in the King’s palace and his own secretary to do whatever he wished. Now he has a separate establishment and household and carefully chosen people to manage the affairs of his household and to do what he requires. Now he is free to do the things he wishes to do without having to get the King’s approval. If he is invited to a function, the invitation goes straight to him and is not sent to the King as happened previously.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Saturday, 6th July, news came that the Government in which Mackenzie was Prime Minister, had been defeated and that the Opposition was now in power with Massey as leader. On 27th June the Governor addressed the members of both Houses of Parliament, and since that time most of the work of the House has been the discussion of the Governor’s speech. During the discussions of that subject Massey moved that the motion on the Governor’s speech be put because that speech had been prepared by the Government and it was known that the Government was not in a position to guide because the majority of the people did not support it. This amendment by Massey was presented and fought over in the House. It was still being dealt with on the Friday until late at night. It was not put because the end of the session was close. They continued until after midnight. Some of the members who had spoken went home to bed thinking that it was going to go on and that the Government would put up some of its members to speak until dawn. At twenty to five on Saturday morning, Wilford, from the Government side, finished his speech; he was the last person. The Speaker rang his bell and called the members to vote. Those who had gone early to bed were fetched in cars. They came in their night attire having pulled on a coat. When all the members had arrived, the Speaker again rang his bell; this time it was to start the voting. When a vote is taken in the House the members separate with those who supported Massey’s amendment going into one room and those who did not agree going into another room. When all the members were in the two rooms the numbers in each room were counted:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is seen that 41 members voted for Massey’s amendment, 33 were against, so Massey had eight more votes than the Government. This brought about the fall of Mackenzie’s Government. All the members of the Opposition voted together for the amendment while the Government vote was split; five voting for Massey. These five were Millar, Reed, Coates, Rhodes and Clark. Herries of the Opposition and Ngata of the Government were the absent members. Massey made every effort to suppress any jubilation on the part of his people for their triumph in overthrowing the Government. When it was daylight the Speaker informed the Governor that the Government had fallen and that the Opposition were in power. In the evening of that day also the Prime Minister, T Mackenzie, called on the Governor to tell him that he and his ministers were stepping down from their governing role and asking him to call upon Massey to choose a Government. These were the words of the motion that brought down the Government, and that motion was taken by the Speaker and the mover and seconder to the Governor:</span></div>

He answered that he was. Massey set about choosing the ministers for his Government. He concluded this task on the morning of Wednesday 10th and they were sworn in in Parliament House. On the Wednesday evening Parliament sat again and Massey, the new Prime Minister, stood to announce his colleagues in his Government.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Governing party defeated by Massey ran the affairs of New Zealand for 22 years. The Government before was that of Sir Harry Atkinson. The Government before that of Sir Harry was that of Stout and Vogel. Their defeat by Sir Harry was like the overthrow of the Government by Massey; they were brought down by Sir Harry’s motion of no confidence. Forty-four voted for Sir Harry’s motion and thirty-eight for the Government. Sir Harry Atkinson took over the Government in 1887. In 1890 Sir Harry’s party was defeated in the election. The Opposition had more members; it was led by Ballance. But Sir Harry had no power and was voted out in 1891 and Ballance formed a Government. That is how that Government came about and now at last Massey has defeated it. These were the ministers of the Government set up by Ballance: The Honourable John Ballance, Prime Minister, Sir Patrick Buckley, Sir John McKenzie, Mr Seddon, Mr Reeves, Sir A Cadman (Minister for Maori Affairs), Mr Ward, and Timi Kara. Ballance died in 1893 and Prime Minister had to be chosen to head the Government. Sir Robert Stout and Mr Seddon were nominated. Seddon was chosen. In June 1906 Seddon died and it was thought that Ward would take his position, but Ward was in England at the time and William Hall-Jones became Prime Minister while Ward was away. When he arrived back he was made Prime Minister. While he was Prime Minister the Opposition made significant advances and when it came to the election last December the Opposition had more members committed to it than the Government. After the election Ward said that he would stand down, a decision that helped those people who were in two minds about supporting the Government. When Parliament met in February the House voted on Massey’s motion and the House was equally divided. The Speaker’s vote kept the Government in power. A replacement for Ward was sought and Mackenzie was put in place. And during this Parliament the Government was defeated.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Anyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted.’ Luke 14.11.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jesus himself is our example in this matter. He said, ‘Learn of me for I am meek and lowly of heart.’ [Matthew 11.29] It is very difficult to speak adequately of the meek heart and the lowly heart. There is great conceit in the heart of a man, but Jesus says, ‘Blessed are those who are poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ [Matthew 5.3] He spoke much about this thing – anyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted. This is what Jesus taught his disciples on every occasion but they continually forgot the words of their Lord. One day he told them this parable about the man who was invited to a banquet and how he chose the best seat. He warned his disciples that they were not to be like that. He said, ‘When you are invited, go and sit in the back seat.’ [Luke 14.7-11] A self-important man will not agree to do this. He likes to be thought of as an important man; but the people who have the Spirit of Jesus living in them are meek and lowly. They will take a back seat. A discussion arose amongst the disciples of Jesus as to who was the greatest. Jesus was sad at their pride and called a little child and placed him amongst them and said, ‘Truly I say to you, unless you be converted and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.’ [Matthew 18.2-3] The disciples were ashamed when they heard these words. But afterwards they forgot them again. Many days passed after this teaching by Jesus before it found a place in their hearts. After the Day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit, at last their hearts became meek and lowly. We hear Peter speaking to us in that letter, ‘You must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, <b>[8]</b> for “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”’ [1 Peter 5.5.] James, too, says, ‘Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.’ [James 4.10] Likewise, later on, when someone asked Augustine, ‘What is the first thing for a Christian?’ Augustine answered, ‘A humble heart.’ The man asked again, ‘What is the second thing?’ and Augustine answered again, ‘A humble heart.’ ‘What is the third thing?’ Augustine said again, ‘A humble heart.’ This is true, because without a humble heart a Christian will not move on and grow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the presence of God we must be humble. Remember the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican. [Luke 18.9-14] The Pharisee stood alone and this was his prayer, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like other people.’ This is how all conceited people think. But the publican said, ‘O God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ What was Jesus’ comment on this? ‘I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us humble ourselves in the presence of the holy God. Let us be in trepidation because he sees the thoughts of our hearts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Amongst people also let us be humble. Do not be proud, do not be self important. Christ says, ‘Come, and sit in the foremost seat.’ Paul, too, says, ‘Do nothing out of strife or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others.’ [Philippians 2.3]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jesus is the supreme example of the humble heart. Remember him: remember his suffering and his death, and let us be ashamed of our self importance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jesus, give us a humble heart, and also the spirit of little children. Do away with selfish ambition and boastful thoughts from amongst us. Give us grace to take the lowest seat and after this life, may we hear your voice saying, ‘Friend, come up higher,’ so that we enter your presence. Amen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. I have read the article about Sir John Logan Campbell, who was known by the Pakeha as ‘the father of Auckland.’ He was a great man, a good man, a faithful man – his possessions, his money, were given by him to benefit everyone. And so he gave Maungakiekie to the nation – it is said to be valued at £150,000 – and that was the largest of his charitable gifts. But the subject on which I wished to write was the stone, for the erection of which he left £5000. It is to be erected on Maungakiekie as a monument to the Maori People of New Zealand. Although there are so many Pakeha people he did not forget his Maori people. He had this idea in his heart. Campbell was an elder who knew the Maori well; he had observed the Maori in the past as well as the present day Maori.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The stone to be erected on Maungakiekie is prophetic; it says that the Maori People will soon disappear from the face of the earth. But whether we disappear or survive this stone will stand as a testimony to the love of this man for the Maori. This stone is like the beautiful stone set up by the Pakeha people of Auckland in memory of John Logan Campbell. He was still living when that statue was set up; it was unveiled on 24th May 1906. Campbell said some important things on that day; he also spoke of the stone on Maungakiekie. He said: ‘I ask you to rejoice with me at the serendipity of this place outside of town, a place very well known to the Maori, and it is given to generations to come as a memorial to the Maori people, this great people, whose land it is we live on in these days. Here, where we are gathered, many Maori lived in days gone by, a great people, a brave people, a noble people, whose wisdom contended with ours and at whose understanding we wondered. This is the place where the leading Maori chiefs gathered. It was they who would determine whether we were united in peace or divided. So my friends, I have a plan for a lofty memorial on the top of Maungakiekie as a permanent memorial to the Maori People.’ At this point Campbell turned to speak about Auckland and New Zealand and his last words <b>[9]</b> were these: ‘Yes, I have lived a long time on this earth and these words can rightly apply to me, ‘Now, Lord, let your servant depart in peace.’ [Luke 2.29] But my heart’s desire is that I may be present on that day when thousands will gather on Maungakiekie to see a marvellous thing, a tall obelisk reaching to the heavens on the summit of Maungakiekie as a monument to the Maori People, whose lineage is from the time of intense darkness.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is good, Editor, that the Maori People hear these words of his, and hear about this stone. I understand that this obelisk will be swiftly erected, and it is good that we wait expectantly for the day of its dedication. It is likely that the whole Maori People will gather in Auckland at Maungakiekie. On the first day of December, 1913, the Auckland Exhibition opens, and I understand that on that day the monument to the Maori People will be unveiled.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have been informed that the Emperor of Japan has died. He died on 30th of this month. On the day we received notification he was seriously ill and many of his people were outside his palace to pray for him to be healed of his illness. All the people of Japan were at prayer, asking that he be restored to health. Their Emperor is very important to the Japanese. This was indeed one reason why they were so courageous in fighting the Russians. The Emperor is more important even that blood in Japanese hearts and they pass on these ideas to their children. If the children in all Japanese schools are asked what they really want they answer: to die for the Emperor. The children stand to say this because it is a sacred statement. To all the people of Japan from the nobility to those lounging in the streets the Emperor, Mutsu Hito, is a god.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He became Emperor in 1867. From that time until his death he was not often seen by people because he was sacred [<i>tapu</i>]. If he went out onto the streets all work stopped, the shops closed, the doors of the houses were closed and the blinds were drawn down. The Emperor of Japan has the longest royal lineage of all the kings in the world and this is one reason why the Japanese think their king is a god. For 2500 years his house has ruled Japan; from Timu, the first king, to him the succession has not been broken. When he was a child he was an expert wrestler. It is said that no-one was stronger than him, but when he fell from a horse, that put an end to that hobby. The Emperor has six children, two male and four female. The new king of Japan is 33 and has three sons. His name is Yoshi Hito. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is said that when the king was seriously ill, a man climbed to the top of Mount Fujiama, a high mountain, a sacred mountain, to ask the spirits to save the king. One woman went into the forest for the same purpose.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">England and Germany are stepping up their construction of warships to defend themselves lest one launches an attack upon the other. These nations are versed in the faith but they do not believe that the time spoken of in Scripture has come when ‘he shall rebuke many peoples; they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.’ [Isaiah 2.4] Indeed England has completed a huge warship, the largest in the world at present. The name of this ship is the Lion. Construction started on 29th November 1909 and this year it has been completed. It is 660 feet long, it weighs 26,350 tons, its engines can raise 70,000 horsepower, and its speed is from 28 to 30 miles an hour. On board it has huge guns with a bore of 13 inches at the mouth of the barrel. It has eight guns like this on board. It cost £2, 057, 708. The cost divides up as follows: the hull of the ship and its equipment, £987,345; the engines, £499,303; the gun mountings, £334,222; the guns themselves, £118,300; other installations on board, £118,538; a total of £2,057,708.</span></div>

It would displace 14,900 tons and have four 12 inch guns and twelve 6 inch guns. Two ships of 3000 tons and travelling at 30 miles an hour could be completed for the cost of the engines. Three torpedo boats which could travel at 32 miles an hour could be built for the cost of the gun emplacements. These are its specifications compare with the large German warship:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turkey is suffering badly in their war with Italy. Some accounts say that some of the people of Turkey want the conflict to end. The difficulty hanging over Turkey now is that it is not just Italy that is involved but also the small national groups oppressed by Turkey in former times. Those small national groups think that this is the right time to withdraw themselves from Turkish domination. Now the Albanians have gone to war with Turkey, and Turkey was defeated in the first battle. The Albanians say that they do not like the programme of the Government of Turkey which was set up in 1910 and they are trying to do away with that Government. This is the present state of Turkey. Perhaps the Government will fall or perhaps it will set about suppressing the power of the Albanians.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 29th July the boat race took place between the scullers, Arnst, the world and New Zealand champion, and Barry, the English champion. On the race day the weather was bad and the river [Thames], rough. Arnst won the toss and took the sheltered side of the river; Barry had to row in the waves. At the beginning Arnst was in front with Barry close behind. At the mid-point of their race they were level. Then they reached a place where Barry was in the sheltered part and Arnst’s path was difficult. Here Barry went ahead. Arnst worked hard to follow but was unable to because he was rowing in the waves and was unaccustomed to rowing in such waters. When they arrived at the finishing post, Barry was 100 yards ahead of Arnst. The time was 19 minutes and some seconds [sic 23 mins 8 secs]. The Glory of New Zealand had fallen. People everywhere are speculating as to why Arnst failed. Some think that he was unaccustomed to that river and the choppy water. Some say that he was a stranger to the country. He had spent four months there but New Zealand and England are different. If a New Zealander spends a long time in England then he can adapt to it. Another says that it was because he had not trained for long enough. Arnst’s managers have sent a challenge to Barry to race again. Barry has said to wait a year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many days after the wreck of the Titanic the body of the Titanic’s bandmaster has been found. He it was who directed the band as they played hymns while the ship was sinking. All of them died. When he was found his remains were taken to his home in England. On the day of his burial, thousands of people came to pay tribute to him, as he was laid in the bowels of the earth, for his good work in bringing peace to people facing death. It is said that the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">funer</span>als of kings are smaller than his, given the huge number of people who were present. The funeral service began in the church where he had prayed and had sung in the choir since he was small. All his choir friends attended the service and others who knew him. When the choir sang the hymn that was played as the ship was sinking many were unable to sing because they were crying. When he was carried to the grave the way was blocked with people. Fifteen bands came. Had there been time almost all the bands in England would have come. One sees from this how a man of good works is appreciated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fight put up by the women of England against Parliament to get the vote has not been restrained. The women there do not have that right, unlike the women of New Zealand. They have been striving for it for a long time. Their campaign began with writing letters to newspapers to point out the justice of their cause. Afterwards a huge army was assembled, of women only, and they went through the streets of London carrying their banners. The slogan on those banners was, ‘Give us the right to vote.’ The demonstrators went to the Prime Minister’s office to deliver their petition. The Prime Minister said that he would lay their cause before Parliament. Parliament did not like their proposal. At this time their activities escalated into violence; they began to smash the windows of the Houses of Parliament with stones, and to do the same to the homes of the Government ministers. Many were taken to prison for these activities – leading women in England. Now it has moved on from breaking windows to physically attacking Government ministers. Ministers have been pelted with stones when they have been speaking, and on some occasions [women] have run up and seized and struck them. Recently the Prime Minister was struck with an axe, a small axe. This is the battle that the women are fighting in England.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One major matter that is being dealt with by the English Parliament is the removal of Government support from the Church of Wales [Disestablishment]. The proposal is opposed by the Church of Wales. Twenty thousand Welsh people arrived in London to show their disapproval of that proposal. Six bands played as the crowd went around the streets of London. The famous band that came to New Zealand at the time of the Christchurch Exhibition was one of the bands (Besses o’ th’ Barn).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 15th of this month a Maori tohunga, Hangawata Tuparoa, went on trial in Palmerston for causing harm to Emere Heta, daughter of Heta and Winia. Emere is sixteen years old. Winia, the mother of the girl, said in her evidence that on 27th April Hangawata came to her house with his whisky. He plied the girl with liquor, then said that he and his wife should sleep together in their room in order to make his work on her behalf effective. He told the parents of the girl to bite on pennies so that he could diagnose the child’s illness. The parents bit and he said that more whisky should be given. The mother was angry. He said that that would cure her. On 29th April returned carrying his whisky. In the evening the girl went into her mother’s room; she was very drunk. She was pulled by the tohunga’s wife into their room and made to go to sleep. In the morning the child told her mother that the tohunga tried to seduce her. The manager of the hotel in Palmerston was fined under the law prohibiting the sale of liquor to Maori, in this case the tohunga, for consumption outside the hotel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paraone was educated at Te Aute. After his schooling he went to Te Rau to train from the work of ministry. In 1908 he was ordained Deacon and placed as minister for the Parish of Hikurangi. In 1910 he was ordained Priest. Paraone gave himself whole-heartedly to his work. Although his parish was huge he managed to visit all parts of it. Paraone was still a young person but his understanding and his work were the understanding and work of a mature person. He had a sturdy body and men from Gisborne to Napier were very aware of his skill at football. For seven years he played for the main team in Gisborne and he was spoken of as a rep. But whatever his strength of body in the face of sickness, in a short time he has gone from our sight.While he was at school a<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">nd</span> during his time at Te Rau he did not suffer illness, but from that time he had an affliction which brought him down. For a long time he struggled with his illness. He thought it was insignificant and did not like to lie down. Right up to the time his illness became overpowering he kept going. At that time it progressed. He thought it was perhaps just something like influenza that was weakening his body. He decided to go home to Waipiro to the north. It was about four miles away. He thought that if he got hot that was alright for when he returned he could swim and then have a sleep and when he woke up in the morning he would be well. This was his treatment for flu. If he had it he would go to football and on his return he would swim and sleep and the next day he would be fine. When he arrived at Waipiro his sickness was worse. He went to the doctor who said he had a fever. When he returned home, on arriving home he had no strength and collapsed at the gate unconscious. People carried him from there to his bed. After two weeks in bed he died. This man was one of the strong the New World <b>[2]</b> and sought to find and work on ways to better the people. Consequently his death is a blow to the Party and a blow to the people. In 1908 he married his wife and they have two children, the first is one year and six months old – a boy, and the second is a girl of four months. He was a man devoted to his children and his wife, now left bereft. We remember these children and their mother and sorrow wells up in our hearts and tears fall from our eyes, even though we say that he has passed from death to life. All Ngati Porou weep for their child, their minister, someone greatly treasured. Let the tribe lament, it is right that they lament for him; let the Colony lament; let Aowera and the Whanau-a-Iritekura grieve for your minister, for the man who fulfilled your many desires. Who thinks or who would prophesy that you will see his like in the future or ever? Go, Para to your rest. Leave the seeds you have sown to grow afterwards. The words spoken are very appropriate for you:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To my beloved children in Jesus Christ, Ministers and Lay Representatives at this hui, greetings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. <i>Hone Papahia</i>. We have gathered this year in the shadow of sadness at the death of our beloved friend, Hone Papahia, the man concerned to lay down ways to ensure that the Church lives and grow<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">s</span> amongst the Maori People, the man appointed to inspect the Maori section of the Church in this Diocese. There is great sorrow at the loss of this man who was so valiant in God’s battles. It is appropriate that this verse is used of him: 'In quietness and in trust shall be your strength.' [Isaiah 30.15] Since he leaves an example for us and also for our children the words of Scripture are right: ‘He being dead yet speaketh.’ [Hebrews 11.4 AV] May God bless him and let his light shine upon him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. <i>Marsden.</i> However, Hone Papahia and all the saints amongst the Maori People are a consequence of the works of the one who first proclaimed the Gospel here in New Zealand. The first of those bold men was Marsden who came here on Christmas Day, 1814. On Christmas Day 1914 it will be the Centenary of his coming. We hope to hold a great hui at Oihi that Christmas, at the place where Marsden preached. My idea is that we bring together there the two sections of the Church, Maori and Pakeha, for a week to hold large services, preceded by entertainments, with some discussions concerning Maori in these days, and on Christmas Day itself to celebrate the Holy Communion in praise of God for his many blessings given us over the past one hundred years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also think that we should do some things to commemorate the arrival of three great men on three islands to preach the Gospel for the first time on those islands – namely, St Columba on the island of Iona, Saint Augustine on the Isle of Thanet, and Marsden on this island. The idea is to build a large meeting house at Oihi at that time. Most of that building would be of raupo, nikau, and other similar things, while one part of the building would be of timber and provide a sanctuary in the building, and, when the hui is over, that part of the building would remain as a permanent church for the area. </span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now what fruits will be observed amongst the

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. <i>Worship.</i> I believe that it is important in these days that the Maori clergy know the English language so that Maori and Pakeha clergy can work together in the same district, and that your children should know English when they attend a Pakeha service, and that the peoples are united in the faith. Therefore, I strongly urge you to encourage your best children to take up the work of ministry in the Church – those who are eager to learn, who live upright lives, who are good at heart, and who know the two languages, so that they can acquire the great learning of the Pakeha. If you present such children perhaps some of them will get to St John’s College and so fulfil Bishop Selwyn’s idea that Maori should go there to be taught.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4. <i>Confirmation.</i> An important part of a Bishop’s work is Confirmation. Do not let this be an insignificant rite but impress upon each of those being confirmed the importance of it and of praying personally to God and of making a personal confession of their sins to God, so that they come to that service with understanding and with a true heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5. <i>Minister’s Stipends.</i> I am heartened by the commitment of Maori to doing those jobs which will provide them with money and with the good things of this world. My wish is that Maori be equally committed to providing a stipend for their minister. You have completed building many churches. I have opened three churches in this Diocese. But a church is nothing if there is no minister. My word to you is that you should increase your efforts to collect stipends for your ministers. ‘Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in what is sacrificed on the altar? In the same way the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.’ [1 Corinthians 9.13-14] The Pakeha section is keen to help you in this work, but most of them now think that Maori are not doing all that they could do. These words come from a heart that loves you, my children, so do not let this Pakeha thinking shame you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6. <i>Churches.</i> When you build a church I would like it to be like a Maori building in appearance and construction and with carvings, so that in the Church we preserve the enduring wisdom of Maori. When I was in the lands of the East I saw there some churches with decorations very like the carvings in Maori buildings. The work of those peoples was very well done and very beautiful, and you can do similar things in your churches. Hold on to your ancient wisdom as to the construction and carving of buildings lest it be lost.</span></div>

I have appointed Mr H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span> as Archdeacon of Te Waimate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because there have been articles appearing in some quarters asserting that the Church of England began in the time of Henry VIII, some have thought that it would be a good idea to write about the growth of the Church to show the erroneous nature of those articles. This is a long story and if all the information was printed in our pet it would be carrying articles around for perhaps ten years. We will not attempt this but will select as we go only the important matters and tell the story in an orderly way. We will try to tell the story truthfully whether it reflects well or badly on the Church. These articles are not written boastfully but out of a desire to inform many.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many people blithely use the name ‘Church of England without knowing its significance or when it began. And many have erroneous ideas. If they are asked, ‘When did the Church begin?’ they may respond that it was in the time of Henry VIII o<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r</span> of Queen Elizabeth. Some may say that it was through an Act of Parliament that the Church was set on its feet, <b>[4]</b> and that its ministers are paid with the people’s money. No-one has ever found the Act which set up the Church, and neither are its ministers paid with tax money from the people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Growth of the Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the time of the growth of the Church the people of England did not know these words – Parliament and Kingdom. This shows that the Church existed long before these things. It was the first unifying body in England which brought together the people before the Kingship and the Parliament. If a person wishes to know the beginning of the faith let him not look to the time of Henry VIII or Queen Elizabeth, or to the time when Rome sent St Augustine and his companions to preach the gospel in Kent, rather he must think back to the time of the Apostles. Let him look at the Bible for in it we find the story of the beginning of the Church. In the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles it says, ‘They were all together and were of the one mind.’ [cf Acts 2.44] It is clear in this passage that the Day of Pentecost was the birthday of the catholic Church. This is the Church we believe in in the Creeds – the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Meaning of ‘the Church’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is good that we appreciate the meaning of ‘the Church’. This word is derived from the Greek word κυριακη which means ‘house of the Lord’. This word has two meanings – a spiritual body and a group of people. The first meaning refers to the Church as the spiritual body of Christ. Every member of the Church is a part of that body through baptism and they are fed with spiritual things provided by Christ. Those spiritual things are passed on to the people only by those ordained by the Bishops, because it is from the Apostles that the Bishops receive their authority. The great work of our Lord while he was on the earth was to set up the Church. He chose twelve Apostles as foundation stones for that Church with himself as the Cornerstone. Amongst the many things the Apostles were commanded to do were these – they were to set about teaching and baptising. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We can see how the Apostles went about the work they were commanded to do by looking at the letters they wrote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In AD 33 Peter preached the word and 3,000 people believed, and they entered the Church when they had been baptised. In AD 34 Paul turned to the faith and we know how committed he was to doing the work of his Lord. He travelled over all parts of Asia Minor, of Macedonia, of Achaia, of Italy as far as Gaul, and of Spain. Some of the old writers say that he also crossed to England but many have caste doubt on this story and we cannot say whether he went there or not. But it is possible that he went and established the Church there; the strip of sea separating England and Gaul is very narrow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We see in this account how different the Church is from all other groups of people because it was started by God, and it is a spiritual thing and not a human thing. Let us not forget this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Ordination of Priests and Deacons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In AD 46 we have the obvious instance of the first ordination of Priests, that is ‘Elders’, on the first journey of Paul and Barnabas to preach in Asia Minor. Acts 14.23 says: ‘They appointed elders for them in each church,’ etc. Before that we have the ordination of Deacons. Seven men of good repute were chosen by the Church, they were brought before the Apostles and were ordained by the laying-on of hands. The work allocated to them was to care for the widows, the poor and the elderly. The meaning of that name ‘Deacon’ is ‘a minister who serves.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Consecration of Bishops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are no words in Acts on this subject. However in his letter to Titus, Paul gives Titus authority to ordain some people to the position of Bishop to do the work of the Apostles. In his letter to Timothy, the Apostle gives counsel as to the kind of person to appoint to the office of Bishop. Before the death of John in AD 100, Bishops, Priests and Deacons were firmly established as the managers of the Church in the places reached by the faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These three offices of Bishop, Priest and Deacon, were the ridge-pole of the Church from the beginning we have spoken of until its beginning in England and right up to the present. Ignatius, the first Bishop of Antioch AD 100, made a statement of similar significance when he said <b>[5]</b> of Bishops, Pries<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ts</span> and Deacons, ‘Where these are not found there is no Church.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before 100 years had passed after the death of John, the last of the Apostles, the Church was firmly established in all parts of the Roman Empire. Hence the proud words of the Christians in those days addressed to Rome: ‘We are but from yesterday but we have taken over all your territories, your towns, your islands, your forts, your council chambers, your military barracks, your meeting places, and even your law courts.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is good that we appreciate what England was like in the early days of the faith. Before AD 50 England fell under the rule of Rome. In the year 43, Claudius Caesar arrived in England with his 800 ships and engaged the Britons, the local people, in battle. The fighting continued for four decades before he succeeded in annexing the land and Rome continued to rule the land for three hundred years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Druids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Druids were the priests of the religion of the indigenous Britons. The accounts of the Druids and the description of their religion is by Julius Caesar who carefully observed their religion when he came to England in BC 55, that is, 55 years before Christ. He said that the Druids were well-versed in the ancient practices, that is, in all the knowledge available to people in those days. He also quoted a saying from those days: ‘There were no wise except God and the Holy Druid.’ The Druid was the judge, he directed all the things done by the people, and he taught the children. He had very great power over the people. Their worship was always outdoors, preferably in open spaces where there were springs or groves of trees. They would erect stone altars there where they would burn their sacrifices. There are found in England today heaps of stones, evidence of Druidic worship.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The British language was <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Celtic</span>. That was the language of all the countries from Ireland to Scotland and even to Gaul, the country of the French, now know as France. The Romans spoke Latin; the Saxons, Saxon; the Danes, the Norse language; and the Normans, French. These languages were the seeds from which grew the English language spoken today.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Whaiatua, the mother of Taranaki Te Uamairangi, died on 9th June. She died at her home at Ohiti, Hawkes Bay. She battled with her illness for a long time, and now has died. She was one of the leading women in Hawkes Bay and her influence reached to the borders of Te Arawa. Her tangi was at Omahu. She was lamented by many hapu from Hawkes Bay here and from Patea, Taupo, and Te Arawa, who came to Omahu. She lay at Omahu for a week and on Sunday 16th she was taken to Waipatu where she was buried in the evening. She was buried with her chief, Te Uamairangi. Many Pakeha and Maori people came to her burial. The Ministers and Lay Readers who officiated were the Rev Arthur Williams, H Manaro, W T Pereiha, Hoera Rapaea and Tamati.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 21st May, Henare Te Atua died at Porangahau. He was a chief and was well known in this area and as far as Wairarapa, Whanganui, Taranaki, and even Tuhoe and other places. He was a man who followed in the footsteps of the ancestors insofar as he knew how to recount the ancient stories. He was the descendant of the people who set up a territory which was given the name ‘Pootiririkore’ [’Haven of Peace’]. A meeting house was erected for the territory and named ‘Tapurutu’, the original name was ‘Rongomaraeroa’. The proverbial saying in this territory is: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the time of sorrow and fighting these elders had <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">the</span> idea of setting up this territory. The first fruit of this great project was Te Kooti. At that time the Government had placed £1,000 on Te Kooti’s head. At that time Henare Te Atua got up and went to Tuhoe and brought Te Kooti to live in Tapurutu. This was when peace was made with Te Kooti. Such was the work of this man, Henare Te Atua. Farewell, Sir. Go to your forefathers, to your ancestors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last month some moa footprints were found at the mouth of Waikanae, a small stream here in Gisborne. Some similar footprints had been found before but the people of the time did not believe that they were real footprints, preferring to think that they were made by people. These footprints were found on flat rocks but were not on top but in the layers in the rocks. Some of those footprints were found in the layer eighteen inches down while some were in a layer three feet <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">d</span>own in the rock. So the speculation of the people who found them was confirmed and they were real moa footprints and not something made by people; people could not get at that part of the rock to work it. Twenty footprints have been dug up. The rock was smashed up with pegs and the footprints were found. Those prints were all like moa footprints, some large and some small. The distance apart of the footprints was measured and it was found that the large footprints were all the same distance apart which revealed that they were the prints of the same bird. Some of them were small. The people who discovered them think that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">three birds made the footprints. They think that there would be other footprints in that place were they to dig carefully, but the rock extended to the bank of the stream and hecame difficult to work on. There is a railway line and a timber mill near the place and they make the work difficult. Were they not there they would perhaps be able to do further work on that rock. The measurements of the large footprints are: length<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> -</span> 12 inches, width<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> -</span> 14½ inches. The small ones are 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Those footprints have been all placed in boxes and are in one the shops here in Gisborne for people to see. What confirms the identification of these things as moa footprints are stories of a moa site in the past here in Gisborne. The first moa bone was found here by a Pakeha and that bone was taken to England. The man who found it was [?<i>Rure</i>]. It was found in 1855. A moa egg was also found here in the past. Indeed, we have an account by a Pakeha of that egg. The account was written by that Pakeha in 1859.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘An egg of a large bird was found lying beside the bones of the bird. That egg was still lying there in good condition. The egg was 12 inches long and 27 inches in circumference. Some pieces of egg were found in some other places, and from these one can say truly that a man’s hat would not be large enough to contain the moa’s egg. The last bird was seen alive in 1650.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The men who uncovered these footprints were W Goffe and Tumaha. Mr Goffe is well known to Maori and is an interpreter in the Maori Land Court. He is a man who is very keen on collecting such things. He has a moa egg which he says is larger than that spoken of by the Pakeha above.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Parliament met on Thursday, 27th. All the members were summoned to the Upper House to hear the Governor’s Speech. The speech has not yet been made available. When the reports of the House are issued then it will be available. Both sides are waiting [?<i>noho takuta</i> – sic - ? on edge] for the day when Mr Massey will move that this Government is not fit to manage the affairs of the people, because it does not have the support of the majority of people. That motion was moved at the last session of Parliament. It was found that the votes on each side were the same and the Government survived because of the Speaker’s casting vote. Mr Massey believes that he is in a stronger position now and that the Government has been weakened as several of its strong supporters have left. The Government says that the Opposition's assertions are wrong when they say it is weak. The situation at present is not very clear and will remain so until that motion is put forward.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Governor’s Speech the members returned to the House and began to deal with the first tasks of the House, moving some bills that they wished to pass, in the case of new matters, and amendments in the case of old matters. One of the Auckland members moved four motions indicating that he would lay before the House four bills for it to deal with. All those bills relate to working people. The first proposes that the Government should pay a person when there is no work for him, provided he has lived in the country for five years. Should he get work he can repay the Government. The second provides that no working person should be paid less than £3 a week. The third proposes that a person should not be paid money for land that he has not improved by working on it. That is, if a person purchases land and afterwards sells it, it is right that he receives the total amount he paid for that land together with the just value of the improving work he did on it, and any amount above these is to be taken by the Government for the nation. The fourth matter concerns the Courts which deal with the disputes of working people [Arbitration Courts], and sets out a procedure by which those Courts can deal with all kinds of issues that arise. Then some motions were dealt with.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the Prime Minister’s speech at Opunake he explained how the Government went about its many tasks. In that speech he said some things about Maori lands, pointing out the things that the Government had accomplished and also the things that they hoped to do. During the past year, from 31st March until 31st March, 336,000 acres had been leased and 219,887 acres had been sold of which 91,744 acres were purchased by the Government. The Government is negotiating the purchase of some 30,000 acres. In 1911 the number of acres remaining to the Maori People was 7,137,205 acres; now it has decreased below 6,795,822 acres because in this are the acres sold to the Government. Of these, 4,392,427 acres are being worked and 2,403,395 are not settled. In this last category 100,792 acres are Maori land without a European title, but the Maori Land Court is looking at the various interests. Of the 3,802,880 acres in Northland [<i>Taiwhakarunga</i> (<i>Taiwhakararo</i> to the Maori)] in 1908, Maori possessed 791,881 acres. From that year up to the present 290,893 acres have been alienated either by lease of sale. Of the remaining acreage, the Stout-Ngata Commission has decreed that 234,408 acres be dealt with under Section 16 [sic Part XVI] of the Native Land Act,1909. The remainder is wasteland.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Prime Minister said that the Government continues to seek ways to make the settlement of Maori lands easier. He still thinks that the remaining Maori lands should become Crown lands. Maori lands without a European title should be taken by the Crown to manage and afterwards the land courts could look into the titles of those with an interest. All Maori lands made available for settlement should be taxed in order to pay for roads.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the middle of the night of Sunday, 23rd June, a large steamship struck rocks at Gisborne. The name of the ship is ‘The Star of Canada.’ It is a ship which carries frozen meet to England. The tonnage of that steamer is 10,000 tons. It arrived on the Saturday morning. On Sunday there was a strong wind and a rough sea. The wind was not continuous but came in gusts. Towards midnight the wind became stronger and the waves higher. At that time the Captain of the ship decided to head out to sea. He gave orders to prepare the ship to sail. At that time news came that the ship was heading to be stranded and afterwards that the ship had gone on the rocks. The two huge engines worked to refloat it but did not succeed. Then it lowered one of its anchors. Then it sent up rockets to inform the people ashore of the disaster but because of the strength of the wind and the storm those rockets were not clearly spotted. But many people living on the coast heard and went to look. Two small steamships tried to go out. One had to return but the other went on as far as the side of the steamship but could not get very close. That boat brought a message from the steamship. That message informed Wellington of the disaster and asked that the [salvage tug] Terawhiti be sent to tow it. When the small boat returned the message was telegraphed. On the Monday morning when it was daylight people went to see this new thing. Two of the holds of the ship were filled with water, but other parts were all in good condition. The part that was on the rocks was in the centre. On the Monday morning the large anchor was deployed and that made it secure. The job now is to return the cargo to the freezing stores. This work goes on by night and day so that the ship can be <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t</span>owed when the sea is calm. This wind arrived very suddenly and also disappeared suddenly. It was because of this that the steamship suffered as it did and it was also because of this that it survived when it went onto the rocks. The sea is now calm and the Terawhiti has arrived to do the towing. The work goes on.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. Here are a few words to carry to the marae you visit. They are about a tragedy here at Waikare. There were two men who worked as fencers. On the Saturday the Pakeha suggested to the Maori that they go pig hunting and the Maori agreed. They set out and crossed a river called Waikaretaheke. That crossing was the one used by the ancestors of that man. It is where Haumapuhia lives. This is the taniwha of this lake, Waikaremoana. The crossing to the other side of the river is there. Then they went into the bush. They killed their pig and cut it in half, one half for the Pakeha and the other for the Maori. They set out to return home and came to the crossing. This was the narrow part of the river. The bridge is made from two trees. That bridge was made by the ancestors and has been in use up to the present time. When they arrived at the bridge the Maori was in front and the Pakeha behind. The Maori fell into the water and died. He was a day and a night in the water before being found by the Pakeha, who carried him to the Maori pa. The tribe mourned for their dead relative. The name of the deceased is Wirinoa. He was 28 and has three children. The man was a descendant of the ancestor, Pakitua, also from Tuhoe, but of all the ancestors.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?’ On the morning of Saturday, 22nd June, news came from Auckland that Sir John Logan Campbell, the Father of Auckland, had died. He died well, the death of an elder, a peaceful death. He died in his sleep without a tremor and without a cry at the time of his departure. He was an elder who sought to use his wealth to help all, the orphan and the widow and the poor, in his business and his activities. The great gift he gave to the people of New Zealand as a place of recreation for all was Mount Kiekie, now known as Cornwall Park. This land is in Auckland and extends over 300 acres. Last year he had built for the nation a home for small children whose parents were unable to care for them. It is good that we speak of such people, and not only because of their charitable gifts, but to remind ourselves and coming generations of the character of the first settlers of New Zealand. This breed of people is passing away, leaving behind [?ko nga whakaaro kore nei, ko nga apo nei.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This man came from the line of Scottish chiefs, from the large Campbell clan. His grandfather was Sir James Campbell. He was born on 3rd November 1817. He attended the leading schools and passed the Medical School examinations, gaining the degrees of MD, FRCS. However he was not long engaged in that work before he was drawn by a desire to see the world. In 1838 he went to Australia. Because, in his view, the land there was not good, he headed for New Zealand. When he arrived he lived at Coromandel but on hearing good things about Waitemata he went to Auckland which had not then been settled. He was at Auckland when the ship of the Pakeha Governor of New Zealand arrived from Kororareka. He had come to Auckland to purchase land from the Maori for a town for the Pakeha there and to extend the authority of the Crown from Kororareka to Auckland. He said that he sought out some defensive spells before buying Auckland. When he arrived in Auckland he gave up his work as a doctor and he and Brown established a large shop. In 1858 he married Emma, daughter of Sir John Wilson. In 1840 he was installed as a member of the first Council of the Colony. In 1856 he became Member of Parliament for Auckland. He was involved in the wars and was director of the military. In 1900 he was elected Mayor of Auckland to welcome the Duke of York. In that year he presented Mount Kiekie to the town of Auckland as a gift in perpetuity for everyone. For this and other good works for the town of Auckland, which he had watched from its birth, and during the time it grew out of the bush, and right up to its maturity so that it is now a great town which New Zealand is proud of, he is called a father of Auckland.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When news reached all parts of Auckland that the father of the town had died, one thought was shared by all, that his body should be buried at the top of Mount Kiekie. In the telegram sent by the Minister for Colonial Affairs he said the same and also said that the idea would be approved by the Government. This was also the wish of that elder while he was alive. So he is permanently there to look down on the generations after him playing on the land which he gave to be used by them in that wa<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">y</span>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sir John L Campbell’s will has been published and reveals what the people thought he would do, that he would leave a gift for the nation. There are parts of his bequests for the people and there is the part for his widow and his one remaining daughter. The workers in the shop established by him and Brown receive £7350; the staff of the business he set up with Ehrenfried receive £1000; £5000 goes to the school for the blind; £2000 goes to ministers of his Church on small stipends; £2000 is for prisoners coming our of prison; £500 is for one of the three houses in which the Salvationists care for those suffering from the troubles of the world; £20,000 is left to Auckland College for the employment of a learned man to teach farming; and £35,000 is to pay those who care for Mount Kiekie, Cornwall Park. £5000 was left for an obelisk to the Maori to be erected on the top of Mount Kiekie. The total amount left as gifts to the people was £84,350.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Prime Minister the Hon MacDonald almost had accidents. Neither of them was hurt but they narrowly escaped death. The Prime Minister set out for Auckland by train. He was going to the Hauraki area. He had an hour to rest in Auckland after arriving before setting out again. He decided to go to see the work on the Auckland wharf as the manager of the wharf was his travelling companion. They came upon a liner discharging its cargo to land. The liner was a large one and the two of them were talking as they walked alongside it. They did not look above. The cargo of the ship was being lowered down by the crane. They were not at first spotted by the captain and when they were seen they were almost underneath the things that were being lowered. There was not hope of stopping them. The captain shouted in vain. They did not hear. They were alerted by the cargo. The hat and coat of the Prime Minister were scraped by the cargo. Another two inches and those things would have been directly above him and he would have been killed. Happily the only signs of his narrow escape are on his hat and coat.</span></div>

He went to see the work being done by the workers on the main railway line on that island. He is also Minister of Works. He had arrived at Waiau. When he arrived they were busy breaking up the flat rock with gunpowder. The men decided to show the Minister a large demolition of the rock so they made a large hole and used a lot of powder. They went a long way off but to a place where they could see well. When the explosion took place they did not see it clearly; when they did see what was happening the rocks were flying towards where they were standing, some large and some small. They ran to a good place. It is said that their escape was remarkable; the stones were flying by on both sides of them as they ran. MacDonald escaped a large rock. He was struck on the foot and hat but they were small stones.</span></div>

One burglar went into a hotel room which was occupied. He and the occupant struggled in the night and he escaped. Afterwards a burglar seized the hotel manager in his room – under his bed. The two of them fought and the manager overpowered the burglar. That man was arrested and is now in gaol.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Wednesday, 12th June, news came of a dreadful murder at Te Kaha where a man killed his own younger brother. And soon afterwards two others were wounded by him. The men involved in this fracas were from Wi Repa’s family – Te Hamana, Tamehana, Tuhitara and a Pakeha. The origin of the trouble was a dispute between them, but that ‘esteemed food’, liquor, inflamed their hearts with the result that one person is dead and two are in hospital and one is in gaol. This is the account given by the witnesses at the trial in Opotoki of that tragedy. Te Hamana and Tamehana were not favourably disposed to each other at that time because of their contract. On the Wednesday the trouble flared up. The Pakeha, Wm Newland, arrived at the home of the Wi Repa family. He brought with him six bottles of whisky. They drank it and when it was all gone the Pakeha went to fetch six more bottles. When some of these had been drunk the Pakeha and Mahuika went to the kitchen to get food for themselves. By then it was dark. When they got there Te Hamana and Tamehana were there. Tamehana was angry with his sister, Te Owai, over his wife. Because they were arguing so vehemently and Tamehana was threatening to strike Te Owai, Te Hamana intervened. The two of them took over the quarrel which continued. Mahuika and the Pakeha separated them. Te Hamana went outside. Soon afterwards the elder brother returned with Tuhitare [sic]. When they arrived Tamehana and the sister were quarrelling. Because they were so aggressive, Tuhitare and the Pakeha went to separate them. At that point Tamehana seized his knife and stabbed his younger brother, lacerating his stomach. He cried out that he had been stabbed with a knife. Tuhitare and the Pakeha were also stabbed, Tuhitare in the arm and the leg and the Pakeha in the leg. The Pakeha grabbed the knife and Tuhitare struck Tamehana. His blow, he said, was intended to kill him. When he had hit him he turned to work on Te Hamana but could do nothing. When Tamehana’s breath returned he stood up and ran and the people thought that he was gone. Te Hamana and the two who had been stabbed were taken to Opotiki to the doctor. Te Hamana had not been long in Opotiki when he died. Tamehana hid for three days then returned home and gave himself into the hands of the law. Now he is in Auckland awaiting trial in the Supreme Court. The Court in Opotiki fined the Pakeha £25 for taking liquor to the pa. The Court took pity on that Pakeha because he was one of those who were injured. The Pakeha openly admitted his fault and did not hide it, and he expressed his great sorrow. He and Tuhitare are still in hospital. This is bad news.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">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. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The idea was that, when this treasure had been circulating on the marae for a long time, many people would be subscribing to it. However, my friends, you must know that very few people are subscribing to it. This is not a good sign but rather a bad sign, a sign of sickness. In 1907 nearly 900 people took the paper. That was a good number. And if each of them paid the subscription of 5/- a year that brought in £225. Our pet lived on that money. However, it is the case that our bird flew for four years to many people who had not paid. The result was that those people were deleted. In the year in which they were deleted those people owed more than £200. The number of subscribers has now gone down from 900 to 400. But although there are 400 receiving the paper it remains the case that there are people who do not pay for their Pipi. Let me set down here the money we received last year to show us the situation. The money received during the twelve months of last year:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">January, £2/15; February, £5/11; March, £2/11; April, £5/5; May, £5/6; June, £2/7; July, £2/5; August, £1/5; September, £3; October, £1/2; November, £1/12; December, £3<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">/</span>15. Total: £36/13/0.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the amount received last year. The goal was to reach £100, the amount which should have been received from 400 people. These are the amounts spent on producing the paper:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For paper and ink, £6/12/0; for the postage of Te Pipi, and also the [?<i>kaahi</i> - ?<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">petty<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> cash</span></span>], £6/5/0; for the postage of bills, £1/5; payment to the Printer, £156; payment to the Editor, £0! Total, £170/2/0.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the amount needed for the survival of Te Pipi. But the amount we received was £36/13/0. Our pet cannot survive in this situation. That our treasure has arrived this time is due to the generosity of a single person. If that man decides to stop helping we will die. You see, my friends, the situation of our pet; it appears on the outside to be flourishing while inside it is decaying. This is not a sickness which cannot be remedied. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If we want this gift from those who have departed to continue then each one who receives this paper must do their utmost to do these two things:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) That each person makes every effort to pay for his paper each year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(2) That each person makes every effort to persuade someone who doesn’t take the paper to subscribe to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If many people take the paper it will survive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If the 400 people who remain subscribe then our paper will survive. If each of the 400 who now take the paper thinks, ‘I will try to persuade just one person to take the paper,’ then we will reach the desired number of people and our treasure will be saved. Many new papers have sprung up now and it would not be good it this one, the elder one, should die. You people who are reading these words, make every effort to help our treasure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Pakeha carpenters have completed their work on the Manutuke church; now the Maori aspects remain to be done. All the walls are of brick and outside the bricks are edged with stone. To all appearances the whole of the exterior is as if it had been plastered. It is roofed with slates. It is beautiful to look at. Experts are working on the interior carvings. The skirting boards have been completed and work is about to begin on the uprights. The reason for the delay is that the timbers have been for a long time at the mill in Taupo. The first ten slabs arrived on 22nd of this month. The carvers are now at work. There are forty timber uprights to be carved.</span></div>

The largest river in that land has overflowed its banks and covered the flat lands. This is a huge flood. Towns near the river have completely disappeared under the water. The motor boats on that river are floating in the streets of the towns looking for people to carry to dry places. It is thought that 100,000 are without homes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After Apanui departed, Tuwhakairiora had the idea of setting up his own small war party in order to achieve <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">an assault</span> and also to obey the signs. He said that by the company of Ngatinua he would avenge the death of his son, Te Aowehea, and also the deaths of Kuku, of Korohau, of Rongotangatake and of all Ngati Porou within Te Maniaroa. The proverbial sayings of this tribe are:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was agreed to by the company of Ngatinua. When the time for departure arrived the company took the canoe called Teruru-a-tarapika. When they arrived at Awatere they landed at the mouth of Rerekohu (marked by a pohutukawa tree). That pohutukawa is still standing and is known as ‘the mouth of Rerekohu’. This company assembled at Tuwhakairiora’s pa, Okauwharetoa. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They worked on charms to defeat the enemy and to calm the sea.</span> By this time Tuwhakairiora had grown old but he still showed the fighting spirit. The day came when Rongoitekai sailed from there. He had heard the fighting skills of Tutawhiwhirangi from Te Whanau-a-Apanui being spoken of. He developed an ant<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ipathy</span> towards him and a desire to face him. He stood and pointed with his taiaha. ‘Tutawhiwhirangi and I will cross taiaha and I will defeat him completely, Tutawhiwhirangi.’ He set up his taiaha and the grasshoppers fled from his feet and when he said that name, Tutawhiwhirangi, he struck the blade of his taiaha so that if fell and lay flat before him. He looked down stretching his limbs and dug a hole. That place is still called, ‘the hole dug by the winged grasshopper man, Rongoitekai’. He went up to the prow of the canoe – it was spoken of as boarding the canoe. He was the only man to go onto the canoe of Ngatinua with the elder, with Tuwhakairiora. And so it happened perhaps that Ngatinua permitted Tuwhakairiora to assemble the company as a war party.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The company paddled away. By evening they were beyond Whangaparaoa. Off Whaaka there was fine rain so they paddled more strongly. They arrived at the place indicated by Apanui where the fire of his son Rahuitao was burning on shore. Tuwhakairiora knew they had arrived. The canoe landed. Rahuitao was struck down and killed. Ngatinua set to work and laid him on a platform of the canoe and said the appropriate incantations. The name of that form of chant was a <i>Koanga<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a</span>mu</i> [? <i>Koangau<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">mu - </span></i>‘A charm for depriving one’s enemies of strength, removing tapu, and other purposes.’ – <i>Williams</i>], a charm to avert misfortune when they sailed away. <b>[3]</b> The two anchors were hauled aboard the canoe, one at the stern and one at the prow. When the tohunga had completed what had to be done, they were soon beyond the headland of Te Kiekie and were spotted by the pa, by Wharekura, and Apanui knew that if was Tuwhakairiora. He stood at the entrance to the pa with his taiaha. The elders of the pa descended and awaited the landing of the canoe. As it drew near the stern anchor was lowered and they continued to paddle. The companies rose up and the bow anchor was lowered while the stern anchor was raised. The canoe continued to float offshore. They carried on in this fashion. Tuwhakairiora continued to gaze at the feathers on Apanui’s taiaha. He said to the company, ‘The party on shore will not raise their hands [against us]. They have hot feet, burned by the fire. Draw up the anchor and all stand so that you can give voice.’ Tuwhakairiora ended his instructions, still gazing at Apanui. When he saw the feathers of Apanui’s taiaha raise up he knew that all the experienced warriors had come outside. Tuwhakairiora gave orders for everyone on board to stand, that the anchor be raised, and that all should shout. The way the company leapt ashore was like the [?<i>Kapunga-a-moho</i> - ?scooping up of fish]. Rongoitekai emerged in front and as he emerged so did Tutawhiwhirangi. It was Tutawhiwhirangi who first struck out at Rongoitekai with his taiaha, <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">but </span>Tutawhiwhirangi was soundly defeated. He stood above him and boasted, uttering the proverbial saying, ‘My winged butterfly man is in the hole. Tutawhiwhirangi is trapped in the mouth of Rerekohu.’ The company struck down the ranks and they fled. It is said that they headed for the pa but Apanui had shut the gates. At the end of the fighting the killed were piled up. The son of Apanui was fetched from the canoe and carried on a litter to the pa. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tuwhakairiora remained on board the canoe. Rahuitao was placed on a staging by Ngatinua. Tuwhakairiora had the mats spread out on the stage. Apanui lamented over his son. When the war party had completed its work it returned. It is said that in the morning they sailed. When the sun was at the meridian they landed at Awatere, at the mouth of Rerekohu, the river from which they set sail. [?<i>He Whakaharurutanga ihu waka, he tununga karae no te Rangotapu.</i> - ? When the rumbling of the prow of the war canoe was heard, Te Rang<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">o</span>tapu set about cooking <i>karae.</i>]] This group of people, the company of Ngatinua, is called ‘the wreath on the head of Tuwhakairiora.’ That proverb is still used: ‘<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">T</span>he wreath on the head of Tuwhakairiora.’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the night of 15th May the Hon Timi Kara and his wife were honoured by the people of Gisborne. In arranging that night, the people of Gisborne wanted to show Timi that although he was no longer in the post of Minister, he remained in their hearts, the hearts of those who returned him to the law-making assembly for the past 22 years. Before the time set for the beginning of the function people were filling the hall and when the time came for the proceedings to start all the chairs and standing places were full. There was no space in the building that was not crowded with people. That was something to cause the heart of the guest that night to rejoice. As he looked at the crowd of people who had come to honour him that night he could forget the difficult things he had to bear and the burdens he had to carry in the past while he was their member. The visitors who came from afar for that night were the Prime Minister [Thomas Mackenzie], the Hon [W D S] MacDonald, [Frank] Lawry, former member for Auckland [Parnell], A Dillon, former member for Hawkes Bay, Te Heuheu, Taonui and Andrew Eketone. William Pettie, mayor of the town, chaired the meeting. His first words were of welcome to the Prime Minister and his fellow ministers and other visitors. Who had come to honour that night arranged by the people of Gisborne. After greeting those in the hall he turned to the guest of the night. The Mayor said many beautiful things about Timi and his diligence in carrying out the tasks given him. His speech covered Timi’s life from his childhood up to that night. The recurring theme in his speech was his guest’s peaceful spirit, from his childhood up to the present; Timi had not a single enemy inside the House or outside.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the Mayor finished his speech he took up the People’s Address. At this point Timi got up and stood to listen to the words of the Address read by the Mayor. That Address was made like the large pictures hanging in buildings and was pleasing to look at. These are the words of that Address:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘To the Hon Sir James Carroll, KCMG, MP, Gisborne, May 15, 1912. Sir, it affords us the greatest pleasure to place on record our appreciation [4] of the long, valued and faithful services which you have rendered to your country, and particularly to the electorate which you have represented, during the 20 years of which you have been a member of the Parliament of New Zealand. In the course of that long period, measures, liberal, progressive, and for the betterment of the people and the conditions under which they live and work have ever had your cordial support, while careful, thoughtful and wise administration has characterised the discharge of your duties as a responsible Minister of the Crown. We recall with satisfaction the influence which you have exerted in establishing just relations between members of the Maori and Pakeha races whereby settlement of native lands has been promoted and the foundation laid for the opening up of extensive tracts of country for the benefit of New Zealand. The honour conferred in entrusting to you the administration of the affairs of the Dominion on different occasions as Acting Prime Minister evidenced the confidence of the executive in your ability and judgment, while the title which His Most Gracious Majesty the King delighted to bestow upon you was fitting recognition of a life well spent in the service of your country. We assure you, too, of our appreciation of the strong personal qualifications possessed by you which bind to you as friends even those who may differ from you in opinion: people of various classes and callings, but all quick to admire and acknowledge your large-heartedness and generosity of thought and action, your urbanity, consideration and sympathy with all. We trust that to Lady Carroll and yourself long and happy life may be granted and that you may continue for years to come to render further acceptable service to your country. We are, Sir, on behalf of all your friends in the electorate, - Wm Pettie (Mayor), F Hall, J A Coleman, Chas F Scott, E Townley, D J Barry, John Townley, John Sheridan, John F Pettie, James R Kirk, G Harding, F Parker, W H Tucker, C J Parker, J C Collins, W F Cedarwall, A Scott, R M Birrell, G B Oman, H H DeCosta,’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was much shouting and applause at the end of the Mayor’s speech and as Timi took the Address into his hands. Afterwards the Mayor presented Lady Carroll with a silver tea service. They are beautiful things sent from England. When he was presenting these things he said that, while they were thinking of Timi they did not forget Te Huinga. There was much applause for the Mayor’s words to Te Huinga. The final gift presented by the Mayor was a gold Cigar Box. ‘This is for you to remind you of our affection every time you take a cigar to smoke.’ At the conclusion of the Mayor’s words, Hine Harding, the daughter of Jack and Gloriana Harding went up with a bouquet of flowers to where the Mayor had been and presented it to Te Huinga. There was much happiness and applause from the people for this small child and her flowers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When this part of the meeting ended, seven people stood to speak to Timi Kara: the Prime Minister and the Hon. MacDonald, Minister for Maori Affairs, Andrew Eketone of Te Kuiti, and the others of the seven. The main speech of the night was that of Andrew Eketone. He stood, a Maori amongst the directors of the house of wisdom of the Dominion, and amongst a multitude of Pakeha, and his spoken English was like that of Pakeha who have been to the leading schools. At the end of his speech he said, ‘Your Timi is our Timi, and our Timi is the great Timi, and the great Timi is our guest, the Hon Sir Timi Kara.’ Straightaway the Pakeha stood and jumped up and down, so good was this speech. When the Pakeha had applauded for a long time and had requested that he speak again, he stood and launched into his haka, ‘He dies, he dies; he lives he lives.’ Te Heuheu and Taonui jumped up and joined in their haka. Once again there was shouting and clapping from the Pakeha. From this point the speeches at the meeting went on with sparkle. After him the Hon MacDonald stood. He spoke very well of Timi and of the work he had done. He had only one regret in taking over that work and that was that he was taking it over from a man he and everyone knew and who knew all the rules and procedures of that work. The Prime Minister made the concluding speech. He said much in praise of Timi. He said that he and Timi and Lawry had entered Parliament in the same year. He said that Timi <b>[5]</b> was the most courteous man in the New Zealand Parliament.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Prime Minister’s speech, the Hon Sir Timi Kara stood to respond to the words of tribute to him. People shouted and applauded loudly when he stood. ‘Chairman, I do not have adequate words to express to you and all the people my gratitude for all the kind words you have spoken about me and my wife and for the beautiful gifts you have given us. You appreciate that it is very difficult to stand and speak about oneself. Were I speaking about my friend the Prime Minister or other friends sitting beside me I would be delighted, but here I am, the target at which I have to shoot and you cannot expect me to hit the bull’s-eye.’ These were the words with which the Hon Sir Timi Kara began his speech. Although he said that he would not hit the bull’s-eye, everyone who heard him that night thought that his bullet had hit right in the middle of the bull’s-eye. He spoke at length and well. He listed the things that will be required of anyone seeking the position of member of Parliament. He spoke of the achievements of well-known people who had died, and of things being done now. He gave guidance to the Prime Minister and to the Hon MacDonald. The satisfying thing that he had observed in the speech of his friend the Prime Minister was his desire to do better than his friends had done before him. This was a good sign to the nation. His word of advice to the Hon MacDonald was to be diligent in his work and to remember that, in his dealings with Maori lands, if the Maori are benefited then the whole Dominion will be benefited.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A hui was held at Moteo on 17th May. The purpose of the hui was the unveiling of a memorial stone to Naomi Akuhata and her ancestor, Paramarewa Apotora Te Huiki.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This child was treasured by her parents and grandparents. She was sent to school at Hukarere. It was widely observed that she wanted to learn, that she wanted to be good, and wanted her parents and brothers and sisters to follow the practices of the enlightened world and of the faith. Paramarewa was a chiefly woman, a daughter of Paora Kaiwhata, one of the great and famous chiefs in Hawkes Bay. She participated in the activities of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and she was the Treasurer of the Moteo Group up to the time of her death.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Consequently there was great lamentation and heartfelt grief for this child and her ancestor who had gone before and sorrow and sympathy also for the bereaved left behind, Aporo and his family, as well as the whole extended family of Paora Kaiwhata. But, family and mourners, be stout-hearted, for the words of our Lord are clear: ‘In this world you will have suffering, sorrow and pain, but, be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.’ [cf John 16.33]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many people attended this hui in response to the invitation of those who remain. Hapu from other places, Ngatirakaipuku and Ngatihineuru, and many hapu from within Heretaunga attended.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Ministers here were the Revs A F Williams, H P Manaro, and W T Pereiha (Minister of the Parish). The local people made every effort to welcome and to show hospitality to all the people who came and to ensure that everything went well on the Marae.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A remarkable thing was the determination of the Marae Committee under the leadership of Paora Kurupou, and also of the women of the Group, to discourage anything bad from coming onto the marae or being seen on the marae, and we thank those who remain for this beautiful hui.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Tuesday, 21st May, a meeting of the Moteo Mother’s Union was called by Hera Manaro at the home of Mr Pereiha. Hera spoke of many matters, instructing the mothers in the care of their children, since, she said, mothers are queens because mothers have to manage their own homes and children; in their hands are the lives and deaths of their children, right and wrong. If the mothers manage their children well, if they guide them gently with love, then those children will grown in the beauty of holiness and in the fear of God. We have laid before us the example of God calling Mary to be the mother of his Son, the Christ, and to raise him according to all the right principles. Consequently we have these two things laid upon women: (1) Women have been called by God to this wonderful position. (2) Women have been left to be guides to their children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Therefore, women are to be strong and to live up to the expectations place upon them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hera also spoke about the Bazaar to be held at Hastings, urging the women to get ready by making artefacts and other appropriate things as agreed by the group, since it was to make money for purposes within the faith including the work of the Mothers’ Union. Many other things were spoken of and the meeting ended with prayer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This article was written by the Rev F W Chatterton for the Hui of the Maori Association of the New World held at Nuhaka on 7th March, 1912.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have spoken on this subject many times in the past but I will continue fighting against this wicked beverage that oppresses the people until its evil effects are stopped. A Maori will agree within his heart that liquor only brings harm to the people. He has heard it said that this is a good drink given by God, but has he not yet seen its fruits, for only wicked things will have been seen by him. Therefore the right thing to say is that this wicked thing is from Satan. It is the case that Maori now would have prolific and plentiful lands were it not for the consumption of liquor, and that it will be better for them in the future if they stop consuming this drink now. Maori know that what I say is right, but they are like the moth flying to a candle and the wings are singed and after a time the whole body is burnt, and the money to improve his land and to provide for his children is tossed into the bar of the hotel, and his body is given over to be a slave to liquor. The hotel owners want Maori to remain as slaves to liquor, but his real friends want him not to be in bondage but to grow in wisdom and goodness. Many Pakeha realise that this is a very bad ‘food’. Many people are killed by it every year. Many men and women now believe that they will get this evil ‘food’ prohibited and are devoting their strength to fighting it. The Government has given the people the power to express their thoughts on whether to continue or to bring to an end the sale of liquor to Maori. If we look at the recent vote we see that it will not be long before there will be no liquor in all parts of the Dominion. But at last during the past year Maori have possessed the right to vote on this matter. For many years some people have thought that it was a very bad thing for Pakeha to set up hotels in Maori districts on the basis of Pakeha votes alone while Maori had no say in the matter. After many years of waiting, at last the right to vote has been given on whether or not liquor may be sold to Maori. This is a better proposition than all the things that have been done before even if it is not the best way and does not completely accord with what Maori desired. It was difficult for the Government to give what the people initially wanted and Maori should realise that the right that has been given to them is still good, and if they fulfil it they will be helping the people, and if they think carefully about the purpose of this move they will see the wrong of listening to those who say that this law widens the chasm between Maori and Pakeha and they will then see that at last they are equal with the Pakeha when it comes to this vote, for previously the Pakeha only had the vote and the Maori did not. It is right that the Maori Party of the New World should be energetic in promoting this matter and that the Party should be committed to making known to all Maori areas the benefit of this voting right for the whole people if it is rightly used. It is the case that last year the people were reluctant to avail themselves of this treasure. Only four Councils held a vote and only one voted for prohibition. Three listened to the sweet-talking of the liquor vendors who have grown fat on Maori money and so decided to retain the sale of liquor. Their ears were deaf to what was said by people seeking the well-being of the people. There is no law to prevent a Maori Council from requesting this power to hold a vote. So I ask this hui to put every effort into stirring up the Maori Councils to set about doing this thing that is appropriate for them. But this is not the only task for the Association. It is one thing to put in a request to the Governor, but the most important thing is teaching the people the great power that has been given to them by this vote so that a person does not just vote in ignorance, and teaching the people that great power has been given to the Maori to use every vote to do away with liquor and to defeat this wicked drink which is condemning the people to poverty and death. Let each Maori consider the importance of his vote which can benefit himself, his children and his people. At present few people see the good of this power, and there are many who would rather sell their vote for a glass of beer, and many also deride it as a result of the serious problems of recent times. Whereas the Pakeha know the significance of having the vote, although in these days some Pakeha are like [Maori] in that they do not see the vote as of great value, <b>[7]</b> as something sacred, but treat this thing as a plaything. So it is understandable that their younger Maori brothers do not see the vote given to them as a sacred treasure to be guarded. The vote is something that gives power, a greater treasure than money, and, given this view of it, as a veritable sacred treasure, it is being used wrongfully by people as something to be bargained with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The problems of the Maori vote on liquor are to be dealt with by the Council under the law. So it is right that each Council should make the effort and ask the Governor to give them authority to hold a vote on liquor, to get competent people to be Deputy Electoral Officers and helpers so that they can [kia kere ai sic] ask for payment and the demands on the council will be reduced.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is right that this Party takes steps to ask the Government to amend the regulations so that each person has a secret vote and that it openly congratulates the Horouta Council which was the first Council to vote to prevent the sale of liquor to Maori. I am apprehensive at heart lest the outcome be the same as happened with those Councils that voted at the same time as Horouta, and it will be important to observe the results of Horouta’s actions, and it will be realised the benefits that have come to the Maori people of the Horouta district. We know that those who support the sale of alcohol will be using all their energy to overturn the Horouta vote. But we are very happy because we know that the vote cannot be overturned and we would tell other councils to follow Horouta’s [?<i>taira</i> - ?tail]. If anyone tries to sell liquor to Maori in the Horouta district he will be fined £100. Ngati Porou will grow into a great tribe, a noble tribe, because they have brought an end to this way of wasting money – liquor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I believe that the time has come for the Government to increase the number of Judges in the Maori Land Court to expedite the division of Maori lands. If the Government maintains its present attitude, Maori should give thought to protecting their money and not letting it be wasted, because if the lands are divided up they would get money through working them. Those who follow the principles exemplified by Horouta will prosper. Many Maori before the vote listened to the deceitful talk of people who said not to prohibit liquor because this vote is only cutting off the branches of the tree and leaving the stump still standing, but had they been given the right to remove the stump then they would vote. They did not think that if the tree is growing in the wrong place one does not straight away attack the stump but rather one cuts off the branches first and afterwards brings down the trunk. The person who goes for the trunk of the tree may cause disaster because the tree may fall on a person’s house and death will be the result. Horouta has the thoughtful heart. At present they are waiting. Who will presently follow Horouta? Before I conclude my words I want to lay before you a proposal which will awaken the people to be intent on this thing for their benefit, and I hope this hui will support this proposal which I lay out, namely, that enlightened people are appointed to every council – and perhaps some of them are at this hui – and the task of those people will be as follows:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, to stir up the people to address the purpose of the liquor vote. Secondly, to urge the council to ask the Governor for permission for that council to hold a vote. Thirdly, to write to the Secretary of the Association to tell him how this work is going, whether or not it is making progress. In this way information will be available to people who wish to know the kind of work they have to do, and, by the time of the vote, most people will realise the significance of the vote. At present most people do not know the significance of the vote, and some foolishly misunderstand because of lack of explanation. The important work for this hui to do is to instruct the people so that they are not ignorant of the significance of this vote, and to stir up Maori in all parts of the Dominion so as to bring together a united people to destroy this evil enemy who oppresses them. Best wishes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. and best wishes to my friends in every place. My friends, I am delighted, my heart is overjoyed at the fulfilment in recent days of its desire to see the prohibition of the sale of liquor to Maori. But let me confine my article to my district of Horouta. [8] This is one of the large sections under the name of Ngati Porou; it starts far away at Patangata. Within this district there are some people who are strongly involved in drinking alcohol. To my knowledge, perhaps one in a hundred does not partake of that drink. But at this time I have seen the benefit of this change, of not drinking liquor. A man appreciates using his money for appropriate things for himself and his family. It was the case when that drink was available that a man did not like to use all of a pound for things that were good, but he would keep back some shillings in the pound for liquor for himself even though there were things that that pound could well have been spent on. Another thing, although a man had money he would ask the store for credit for the things he needed for himself and his family, and he would keep perhaps four or five pounds to shout for himself and his friends. Then, when he and his friends had used up the five or six pounds he would persuade the hotel owner to give him two or three bottles on the hotel slate. Afterwards he set about making money to pay those debts. When he went to pay the debts he paid the debt to the hotel first so that that man would be kind to him later. On this occasion he met his mates and they drank up the shillings that were meant to pay his debt to the store, and they were gone. When that debt had been unpaid for a long time, and the store owner saw that man drunk, he was angry with him. After that, he was charged and served a warrant. That man’s <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">possess<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ions on which</span></span> he and his family <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">depended were seized</span>. Now in these few days I have seen the difference from former times. Enough of that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some people now say that we are suffering because we’ve been stopped having our rightful ‘food’, but the suffering we perceive is the prevention of that ‘food’ which cause the sufferings spoken of above from going down our throats in these days. One thing we can observe now is the suffering of the hotels because there are no Maori to drink liquor in them. It is clear to us that the large amount of money that sustained the hotel owners came from us. That must be sufficient explanation of our great well-being at this time. And we can say of this well-being that we have passed from death to life. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Monday 13th of this month news came of a daylight robbery in the town of Auckland. Some people who practise theft have discovered that it is a way of getting money. The Pakeha who was the victim was Pascoe, a watchmaker; his shop is in one of the main Auckland streets known as Karangahape Road. On that Monday the phone rang in Pascoe’s shop and the manager of the shop went to answer the call. The man at the other end said, ‘Is that Pascoe’s?’ The manager of the shop said it was. The other man said, ‘It is Nathan speaking. (Nathan is known as a leading person in Auckland.) I want to give a nice ring to my daughter in appreciation of her kindness to me. Would you send me some good quality rings for me to look at and when I choose the one I want I will return the others. I also have a marble clock here which I would like you to look at to find out what is wrong with it.’ Since the store manager knew Nathan he did not suspect his friend at the other end of the phone or his request that he have some of his expensive rings and he immediately complied with Nathan’s request. He looked out four of his fine rings; the total value of them was £49/10/0. He wrapped them up in a parcel and gave it to one of his salesmen to take to Nathan’s home in Karangahape Road. When the man delivering the rings arrived at the gate of the house he met the man who had made the call. He had his coat over his shoulders and looking at him the man thought he was a person of standing. ‘Are you from Pascoe’s?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘I am Nathan. Do you have the rings I phoned to be sent to me?’ Straight away the man answered, ‘Yes. Here they are.’ Nathan took them and put them in his pocket. Then he said to the other, ‘Fine. I will take them and look for a good one with the lady. When we find it I will return the remaining ones. The clock I spoke of is not here. It has been taken to my large shop. I will send one of my men to get it.’ When Pascoe’s man returned he told of his arrangement with Nathan. Then the owner had his suspicions. This was the first time Nathan had acted in this fashion. He went to the phone and rang Nathan. Then the real Nathan answered. <b>[9]</b> Pascoe asked, ‘Did you call me and ask me to send some rings as a gift for a lady?’ Nathan replied, ‘I did not phone you for the ring. I know nothing of the call.’ Then Pascoe knew that he had been deceived. He went for the police but they have not been able to do anything. The scoundrel has gone with the treasures he stole in broad daylight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the night of 14th May news arrived that the King of Denmark had died. His death was a tragic one for a king. He did not die in his own country but in Germany. He and his wife went there to travel around. That night he went to go about the town. He was not wearing a king’s robes. He was about 200 yards from the hotel in which they were staying when he collapsed. By the time he was found he was unable to speak and the person who found him did not recognise him. He was taken to hospital and died after a short time there. The people in the hospital did not know him. Then he was taken to the morgue. After he had been gone for a long time the Queen and her daughter went to look for him. They spent the night searching but it was not until morning that he was found lying in the morgue. The name of this king was Frederick VIII of Denmark. He was a brother of Queen Alexandra, the mother of our King, a brother of the Queen of Russia, and an elder brother of King George I of Greece.</span></div>

In his will that man left money <b>[10]</b> to his son and his wife. £1,000,000 was allocated to his wife and £14,000,000 to his son. The amount for his wife was only for as long as she remained a widow; should she marry someone else the remainder of the money would go to his son. This woman is still a girl. She married him last year when she was 18. He had divorced his first wife who bore his son. After that he said that he was going to marry this one of his women. Many ministers were angry at Astor’s action.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Saturday, 9th (sic) May, Mr W L Rees died [18th May]. He was a Pakeha elder in Gisborne, a lawyer, and a well-known man throughout New Zealand in his day. He was born in England in 1836, a son of Doctor James Rees. He went to a major college in England to study but before completing his studies he travelled to Australia where he completed his studies at the University of Melbourne. After university he worked in the office of a lawyer but it was not long before he left to go to theological college and became a minister of a Church known as the Congregational Church. Four years later he left ministry and returned to the law. In 1865 he was registered under the Law as a barrister. In 1863 he married his wife who survives him with their children, one son and four daughters. In 1866 he crossed to New Zealand and became a barrister of the Supreme Court in Dunedin. He moved from Dunedin to Hokitika, from Hokitika to Auckland, then to Napier and finally he settled down to the north in Gisborne. While in Auckland he was twice elected to Parliament. George Grey wanted to make him Attorney-General but he was unwilling and said that the post should be given to his friend, Robert Stout, Presiding Judge of the Supreme Court. It is said that he gave the longest-ever speech in the House; he spoke for 24 hours. He stood again [unsuccessfully] for election in Napier and then in Gisborne. In those days he was one of the best-known men in New Zealand. Mr Rees was also well-known as a writer. He wrote five books. He wrote about the life and work of George Grey. He was a man dedicated to projects for the benefit of the whole land.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘The boundary of the Archdeaconry begins at Tiwhanui; the line is then drawn to Waikaremoana.

He was a great elder, a depository of the word which his ancestors passed down to him. He was also a pillar of the faith from when he was small. He was a person liked by all, loving and kind to people; consequently he was greatly loved. He was a very great elder. He was born in 1828; he was 84. Sixty years ago he was appointed a lay reader. He took part in the activities around the Treaty of Waitangi and he was one of the elders who strongly supported the ideas of the Association of the Island. He was a peacemaker in the tradition of his ancestors. This was their saying:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[I reproduce the English translation of this waiata from <i>Nga Moteatea I</i>, page 65. The <i>Te Pipiwharauroa</i> Maori text substitutes local names for those in the (?) original Tuhoe text ascribed to Mihitekapua<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">:</span> so Te Hirau becomes Kawiti, Huiarau becomes Waiomio, Ngauemutu becomes Otarawa, and Te Matuahu becomes Taumarere.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">AN ANCIENT STORY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These stories were told by an elder called George Clarke. He is a younger brother of the first Archdeacon of Waimate. The stories tell of the things that happened to him in New Zealand in the olden days. These stories are about the first visit of Mr [William] Williams the Brother to Waiapu. He says that he was the companion of Mr Williams the Brother at that time when the two of them came from Gisborne. He tells about the things that happened to the two of them at that time and about the state of the Maori.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He did pleasing illustrations of his stories so that people would enjoy <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">looking at them alongside his writings</span>. But let him speak for himself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Mr Williams was thinking of going by land to Waiapu and to the places on that coast near Opotiki he asked me to go as his companion. We were at Gisborne at that time. No missionaries had visited Waiapu before. We spent many days on the track before we reached Waiapu. The pa we stayed in was a large one close to Whanaokena. There were nearly 3000 people in that pa. They saw Mr Williams as being a great man. One reason they thought of him in this fashion was because he helped some people of that tribe who had been wrongly taken to Ngapuhi. Those people were taken away by a whaling ship that was sailing to the Bay of Islands. They were enslaved by Ngapuhi and Mr Williams was angry and scolded them. He said to them, ‘What a low thing you have done, enslaving these people who were driven by a storm onto your shores. Had you got them with the blade of a weapon then what you have done might be justified, but what you have done is a lowborn thing and not the right action for chiefs.’ Ngapuhi listened to Mr Williams’ words<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and</span> they looked after those people who were returned safely to their own territory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the sun was declining on the Saturday we arrived at the pa of Waiapu. They were delighted to see us, my companion and me. In the evening my friend went to lead a service and to arrange things for the large service the following day. I stayed in our tent to cook some food for our meal the next day. I have said above that there were many people in that pa, but it seemed to me that there were as many dogs as people. And the people were very like the dogs insofar as they were shy. If there was a threat they would not show themselves. They were like a flock of kaka going off to one side in the evening. The people and the dogs were both alike in going off to one side. It was not obvious which was the stronger one. On such journeys we used oil to polish our shoes. We nearly had a disaster and our shoes were the cause of it. On the Saturday night towards morning we were woken by something moving about inside our tent. A dog had lifted up one of Mr Williams’ shoes to eat. My friend took up his staff and struck out at the dog. He hit its head and it died. We were afraid that if this became known there would be trouble. <b>[2]</b> I got out of bed and carried that dog to the steep slopes and threw it off the cliff. No-one knew of the incident. Nor did we know if that dog had died or survived. At the large service in the morning I saw a large crowd worshipping God, a beautiful thing to see. The church was a meeting house, a large carved building. One side of the house was for the women and children and the other for the men. The table for the minister was at the back. An hour before the service people began ornamenting themselves for the service. Their finery defies description. Some wore clothing, some did not. There was no appreciation of the nature of the clothing although it was evident that it should be worn on a certain part of the body. Some wore trousers as coats or coats as trousers. No-one amongst them knew any better so there was no laughing or anything. In demeanour they were like people wearing fashionable clothes in these days. When the bell rang people descended upon the meeting house. And as the bell rang the dogs set about howling. I learned afterwards that the Maori do not think it right for a dog to enter a church, so when the bell rang it was the sign for the dogs to go out and run in the bush. I was a child at the time and it gave me great pleasure to see the people coming to worship. They knew that the important thing in this new religion was a book so each person tried to get a service book, though some could only manage a sheet of newspaper; it had no meaning but it served as a book when one had to carry a book into the service. Some of them knew how to read. Some of their books were brown paper on which were written some of the prayers and songs and other parts of the service. The ink was made of cooked fern. Such were some of the books of those furthering the faith in those days and their diligence and commitment were admirable. I still have many of those books now, having exchanged them for good ones. When the building was full the two of us went over. Two men stood at the door; they were wearing girdles [<i>rapaki</i>]. They were acting as sentries for the congregation, to stop the children getting into mischief, to stop people talking, and to stop dogs from coming in during the service. When we got there I was scared at the appearance of those men. I saw the guards at the doors of the large Mahometan Temple in Jerusalem but they were not as frightening as these. At the beginning of the service Mr Williams began to sing Psalm 100. The congregation did not know that tune and they looked at one another. The teacher went to Mr Williams and said that they did not know that tune and that he would lead them in the one they knew. When he started the whole congregation joined in. Their great desire was that Mr Williams should know that they were Christians, therefore they put every effort into their singing. Children, women and men screwed up the muscles of their faces as they put their all into the singing of the song. The sentries were in the centre of the room with their mouths open and their weapons quivering. I heard an elder calling out, ‘Be strong! Be <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">s</span>trong”; his face was covered with perspiration. Their enthusiasm was beautiful. They did not know Paul’s injunction: ‘Let all things be done decently and in order.’ [1 Corinthians 14.40]. After this the service went well right to the end. This was what Mr Williams‘ first visit to Waiapu was like. This is the village and the people whose name was given to the Diocese for which Mr Selwyn chose my companion as the first Bishop. During the many years that followed, no name pleased him more than that of ‘Bishop of Waiapu’.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Capsizing of the Titanic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the middle of the night of 14th April, a terrible accident happened to a steamship in mid ocean. The name of the ship was the Titanic. This was one of the largest ships in the world and the accident happened when it was on its maiden voyage. The ship was travelling from England to America. When it was nearing the coast of America it struck an iceberg floating in the open sea, and two hours later it sank. At the place where it struck the iceberg the sea is two miles deep. The size of this ship was 45,000 tons. More than 2000 passengers and crew were on board. This was one of the beautiful ships built with all the remarkable skills of the Pakeha. The strong construction of this ship led to the belief that it would not be troubled by anything it might collide with. As a result there was <b>[3]</b> minimum provision of life-saving equipment on it at the time it capsized. When the collision took place the Captain ordered the lifeboats to be lowered. He was aware that it would not be long before the ship sank, the water was flowing into it so rapidly. The women and children soon got into the boats along with some of the men and also sailors to row the boats. All those in the boats were saved. Of the 2340 people on board, 745 only were saved; the majority all died. When the ship struck the iceberg telegraph messages were sent from the ship to all parts asking people to come to help them following the accident in the open sea. One ship that was at sea received the telegraph message from the damaged liner. Two hours later it arrived at the place where the Titanic had been holed. It rescued the women and children and those men who had got into the boats. Five women died getting on board the ship. Many of the women left their husbands behind on the Titanic when it was sinking. But many did not want to abandon their husbands, preferring to die together with them. All sorts of beautiful and wonderful things were done on board this ship. It had ten decks. There was a real, large swimming pool for all the people on board. There was a flower garden and decorated rooms on this ship. Soon after the collision the band played the hymn, ’Nearer my God to Thee.’ This was the last thing heard on board the Titanic. It was lost under the deep waters of the sea. More than a million pounds was lost besides the ship. That was over and above the value of possessions and mail. The news of the disaster occasioned great sorrow in America, England and Europe. And now all parts of the world grieve over this terrible accident. There were many leading people from America on board who thought that this ship was the answer to people’s dreams. But now it has been discovered that it was not what they desired in their hearts.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the measurements of the Titanic: it was 882 feet long; the beam was 92½ feet; the height from the keel to the top of the [?<i>whare o te Kape</i> - ?<i>Kapene</i> – Captain, i.e. Bridge] was 105 feet 7 inches; from the keel to the top of the funnels was 175 feet 10 inches. It had <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11</span> decks. The weight of its rudder was 100 tons. It had four funnels. It is said that a tramcar could go into one of those funnels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was its maiden voyage. These are the numbers of people: <i>[?text missing]</i> those who died were 1636. The reason why so many people died was that they trusted the statements of the builders of the ship that it could not sink. Many of the people went to bed knowing that the ship had collided with the ice. Some laughed at those who were getting into the boats and said, ‘There is no point in going off because you’ll freeze in the snow in the boats.’ Although the women were ordered to get into the boats, most of them thought that it was an unnecessary precaution and that they were more likely to drown in the boats. There were some [?<i>ihu</i> – ?safety devices] built into that ship to keep it afloat were it to have an accident. The Captain had only to press a button on his bridge and those [<i>iho</i> sic ?<i>ihu</i> – ?safety devices] would be activated. These were the things that made most people believe that the ship could not sink and that perhaps the ship would continue to float even if its prow now struck ice. At the time of the collision it speed was 21 miles (sea knots) an hours. When the iceberg was spotted they were very close. Had the ship been commanded to stop it would still have gone onto the iceberg; it could not stop quickly; its momentum would still carry it onto the ice. When the look-outs called that there was an iceberg ahead, the Captain thought that he would perhaps be able to turn his ship so that it went past. Because the iceberg was so close and he was travelling so fast he was not able to turn it quickly. This is why it hit the iceberg side on and he was unable to stop it. It scraped alongside the iceberg and the whole side was broken and lacerated by the ice. The extent of these gashes meant that he was unable to deploy the safety devices mentioned above. Had the engines been stopped it would still have been carried onto the iceberg by its weight and then only its prow would have been crushed and <b>[4]</b> perhaps it would not have been such a disaster and its safety devices may have kept it afloat. The Company thought that the ship was unsinkable and so they had made n provision for many lifeboats on board. Altogether there were 20 lifeboats – 14 large, 2 small and 4 extra [?<i>nga mea hono</i>]. At 11.40 p.m. the collision occurred and at 2.20 a.m. on the Monday morning it sank; shortly after 3 a.m. the Carpathia arrived to help.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is said that many of the lifeboats were not full of people when they were lowered because they did not think the ship would sink. Afterwards those boats were filled with those floating in the sea. Bride, one of the telegraph operators on the ship, said that when the message calling for help was sent two ships responded, the Frankfort and the Carpathia, The telegraph message showed that the Carpathia was closest. That ship’s operator kept asking what the trouble was but the harassed operator on the Titanic messaged, ‘Don’t worry, just come!’ The Carpathia telegraphed, ‘I am coming.’ The man having sent his message, his cabin was filled with water. One ship the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Virginia</span>n, 170 miles away, received the message as it was ending and realised that the ship had sunk. It used its full power in sailing to help but by the time it arrived the survivors had been rescued by the Carpathia. It searched for others but not a single person was found. The Olympic, the sister-ship of the Titanic heard that telegraph message. The two of them were the largest ships in the world. They were 700 miles apart. It used full power in sailing to help. It sailed for 13 hours before it received the message from the Carpathia that it had recovered all the survivors and then it continued its journey to England.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When all the women wishing to go had got into the lifeboats the Captain called out to those remaining on board the ship, ‘Men, you have done all you can at this time; there is nothing more for you to do. Now each person must fend for himself.’ One of those left behind said that he would shoot the Captain, but the others said that that was silly talk, and that the Captain would go down with his ship. The bow soon sank. When the bow went down the stern rose up. With the raising of the stern the ship broke in two, it snapped in the middle. The broken part went down into the water while the stern remained afloat. The men all clustered at the stern. Presently what remained of the ship stood upright and the people dropped off into the sea. It was also the time when the ship went down. The lights of the ship were all burning while it was going down but when it disappeared into the water they were extinguished. As the ship was disappearing one of its boilers exploded. This explosion was what ejected one of the officers. When he emerged above water a raft was just opposite him and those on it hauled him aboard. He was one of those who survived. Of the crowd of people clustered on the stern many jumped into the sea when the ship up-ended. All the American millionaires on the ship died. Astor was one of them. He said to one of the officers that if it were possible for him to go along with his wife he would decline because the women alone should go first. He handed over his wife saying, ‘Away you go! Don’t be afraid.’ Then he turned to help the women board the lifeboat. Another of the millionaires said, ‘Tell my wife that I did the right thing,’ then turned to his friend and said, ‘Let’s die the deaths of sons.’ There are many stories from this dreadful accident and it is not possible to fully recount the horror. The official enquiry is now taking place. Money is being collected to help the families of the sailors and others in poverty who suffered on that ship. England has raised £100,000, America £20,000, and the amount is growing. King George gave £575 to help, and the Queen £262. The value of the possessions on board the Titanic was close to 3 million pounds. This disaster will not be erased from the memories of those who have heard the stories.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. Please send out these few words. At a meeting in Whanganui I heard the seven canoes mentioned – Tainui, Te Arawa, Matatua, Takitimu, Aotea, Tokomaru and Kurahaupo. A heap of valued objects was presented for each of the seven canoes and the person presenting them made a speech. In the end these were the canoes named. Sir, I say to you that your educational establishment is wrong because it left out Horouta. So then, let me explain about Horouta. When this canoe arrived at Waiapu, its kumara was planted at Whakararanui. [5] On the morrow in the first year the kumara bore abundant fruit. Hence this saying:</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[In the above words from Te Tuhi Pihopa he points out that this canoe, Horouta, was a separate canoe. There are some people, schooled in the ancient stories, who say that Horouta and Takitimu were one and the same canoe. Their explanation is that Horouta was the name of the canoe in Hawaiki; because of the speed of that canoe as it sailed at that time from Hawaiki it was called Horouta. When that canoe arrived in New Zealand it was called Takitimu. Because Horouta was not named at the Whanganui hui, Te Tuhi Pihopa thought that those running the hui held to the view that Takitimu and Horouta were the same. This is a good topic, the story of these two canoes, for the remaining elders to address. Let them point out whether these two canoes were actually one canoe or were different from each other. Most of the accounts of these canoes treat them as a single canoe. We leave it for the remaining elders to speak about. – Editor.]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The spring of love will bring it to completion. The life-spark of H Papahia was taken on 9th February in the house of his youngest child, Kahi Tipene. This was the conclusion of his earthly human life. On Monday 12th our party arrived and afterwards the second, the outside coffin, was sealed. On this day also, all were agreed on this, that this body should be carried to Whangape to the sacred mausoleum. That was the very sacred place of his ancestors. That sacred place was the dwelling-place of Oneoneone and his beloved wife Reitu. It was decided that H Papahia should be buried at Waiparera Tapu here in Hokianga. It is where the old church of Rev Piripi Patiki is. The mother of H Papahia is also buried there. On the following day, Tuesday, when the sun was up, Mr H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span> and Hone Wi Kaipo arrived. At dawn on the Wednesday the body was taken aboard the launch. Waiparera was three or four miles away. Many people travelled in launches and many went on horseback. They went into the church and the service being completed they came out to the fine grave and committed his body to the earth. His father, Herewini Te Toko, cast the last soil on the grave. There was great lamentation for him, and hereafter the sunshine he left behind will not be forgotten.</span></div>

To Niwa, to Araiteuru, to Te Ponatu sleeping there at the end of the land, Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu, Wharekauri and the myriad islands of the Moana-nui-a-Kiwa – grieve for our relation according to the flesh, for our holy father in the Christian faith.

Farewell young brother, farewell my holy father, the adornment in whom I <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">boast</span>. Your great people, your numerous people, your people chanting a song – your people whom you have left behind. Go to the place of rest beyond the veil. May you be gratified by the Tides of Huarau now and for ever. Amen. ‘This people is shaken, jaded and confused’ at losing you. Our ancestor Tamaariki said, ‘When the waters of Wharoo are calmed then Toakai will be lost.’ When the waters of Hokianga are calmed then Papahia will be lost. ‘Though the foundations at Kaitu still stand, Ririhape-Nui-a-Tau is lost.’ It is the same with us now that you have gone: [? <i>He pupu ano to roto, he pupu ano to waho, whakaruru whakawawe, ko koe ano ko ahau, a te miriniuma.</i>] Farewell Papahia. Go to the place that is hidden from the dark, the black, pupil of the eye, that is, where your spirit is at rest. Your people’s loss is great, for you no longer appear in person on their many marae.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I read in Te Pipiwharauroa 166 of the death of Noa Whakaatere of Gisborne. So I write my tribute to him here. ‘Farewell, Sir, farewell, farewell, father to the men of Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri, and Ngapuhi, who have come to the school for ministers here at Te Rau. Some of them have gone before you to the home to which you have now gone. Farewell. They will welcome you. Go along with your gracious child whose departure is lamented every day, the Rev Hone T Papahia. I truly think that you were a father to him; he was your child when he lived there, just as we were all your children. That is why I write these words of tribute to you here even though you will not see them, but we, the living, will see them. May your two parts go to the places spoken of before as in the prophetic saying, “Now, the dust returns to the earth of which it was a part before, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Friday, 26th April, we learned that Hemi Matenga of Whakapuaka, Motueka, has entered upon the long sleep. He was an elder respected by both Maori and Pakeha. He was one of the Maori children who learned at the feet of Bishop Selwyn. When his education was completed he married a chiefly woman, Huria, from Nelson. He used to say that Mr Selwyn was a man of strict principles. However, despite the strictness he did not run away from school. Rather, he believed that it was that which encouraged him to work. From his time with Mr Selwyn until his death he was a man committed to the faith. He was a member of the Nelson Diocesan Synod. He was also a man who believed in the practice of giving a tithe of his earnings to God, something he did over many past years. He was someone with a soft heart for people, whether Maori or Pakeha. He was a strong opponent of the consumption of liquor and of all bad practices. The important thing on his heart was helping the work of the faith. In 1909 he attended the hui of the Party of the New World held at Rotorua. What drove him to come was a desire to speak on behalf of the faith and to help the Maori Church. I shall not forget the opening words of his speech. He was ill at that time. These were his words, ‘Other Pakeha ways introduced in the past have come to maturity amongst the Maori People, but the faith remains in the state in which it was left by the original missionaries. Maori have taken all the great offices of the Pakeha in other professions but they have not attained the high offices in the faith, they remain in the situation of the elders.’ Hemi Matenga was a man who supported just causes, and even if he stood alone he was not afraid. Go, Sir, to your rest, leaving behind your values for the growing generation to hold on to or to reject. – Pipi.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Bishop. You have heard that our Bishop has gone to England. He and his wife have gone for several reasons. They have gone first so that he can recruit men to serve in this diocese; secondly, to see his family; thirdly, to receive an honour from his college; and fourthly, for him and his wife to have a time of relaxation. May God guide the two of them and bring them safely back to their work here.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Worship</i>. Something for us to consider is the practice of the worship of God. Some mistakenly think that worship is something whereby we obtain what is good. This will happen if we worship correctly, but it is the case that if we are only concerned with what we alone will get we will not get it. However the means by which we get what is good is an upright heart as well as right worship. A heart that is fit for worship is a heart that seeks to glorify and honour God for his goodness, for his graciousness towards us. If a person has such a heart then his practice of worship will not be wrong. Indeed, he will not like to stay quiet when God is being praised; he will not want his confession to be just empty words - he will be thinking about the forgiveness of his sins; he will not sit there not listening to the Bible readings and the sermon; he will not lazily sit on his pew but will kneel to pray and stand to praise and to sing hymns; he will not chatter to his friends but will remember that this is the house of God and that we are in the presence of God when we are worshipping, and we will be in awe of him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Children.</i> One of the reasons why people behave badly in church is ignorance. If they were carefully taught and carefully raised then children would not forget the right way to worship God. If they are not taught how can children know God and his will for people? A man in olden times said something similar, and he was a wise man. If he were given the children to teach he would not fear anything they might be taught as adults: they would in their thoughts cling to what they had been taught as children. This is a great failing of the Maori Church – the children are growing up ignorant, they are not being taught on Sundays. This is something that the minister cannot do unless he can find people to assist him. We send our children to Te Aute and Hukarere – and they return home. But their years at school are wasted if they do not share with their people some of the treasures they have received at school. This is a good thing for you young men and women, that you assist the minister by teaching the children on Sundays.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Bible.</i> Why do we not see the children of Te Aute and Hukarere enthusiastically involved in that work? One reason is that they have forgotten the Bible that was taught to them at school. The Bible is said to be a <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'treasure-house' </span>– but it is left lying there and no-one gets the good things that are inside it. Carefully reading the Bible day by day is a source of sustenance for a person’s spirit. If a person abandons this practice he will not become a teacher of others. Let us be diligent in this matter, the reading of the Bible. Let us remember what Christ said: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ [Matthew 4.4] Let us pray to God to give us his Holy Spirit to make clear his word to us. Enough of that, let us turn to some of the outward signs that reveal the good heart within.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Giving.</i> One thing that reveals that a man is devoted to God is his giving of his wealth for the things of God. It is no good that a man just puts his coppers or his sixpence in the plate on Sunday if he wastes pounds on food, on playing cards, or on horse racing – on the passing things of this world. Were Maori a poverty-stricken people this matter would not be spoken of. But no, Maori people are wealthy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are many ways in which Maori get money – leasing land, shearing sheep, keeping his own sheep, working with cows, growing corn, contracting, and suchlike. No accounts are published showing how much money by all these means. But we do know that a great deal of money is paid as rent by Pakeha to Maori in this diocese. Maori shear 2,000,000 sheep belonging to Pakeha and 240,000 sheep belonging to Maori. The earnings from these three activities is around £175,000 a year, besides those other ways in which you get money. A very small proportion of that money is given by you to God. The Jewish practice is to give a tenth to God. My friends, were you to give one pound in every hundred you would be contributing £2000 a year. Also, your ways of collecting money are wrong. You decide to hold the collection in such-and-such a village, a feast is laid on, a thousand people gather for the meal some of whom throw down some shillings, but most of the money is wasted on filling the one thousand stomachs and little remains for the collection. Is this the right way to do things? You say let me first fill my stomach and then I will throw down my shillings for the work of God.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Hukarere.</i> You remember the Jewish saying, ‘We played the flute and you would not dance.’ The tune the flute is playing for you is Hukarere School. It has been pointed out to you that the cost of that school is £7000 but your response has been very small. Mr Williams thought that you would have given perhaps £1500 for that work. By last July you had given £660. There have been further contributions but the amount has not yet reached £1000. Your Pakeha friends are waiting on you. They are saying, ‘If we build a school the Maori do not contribute to the work, so why should we participate in building Hukarere School?’ And, ‘The Maori People are not enthusiastic about building a school for their girls, so it is a waste if we build that school.’ My friends, this is a matter of great value that your girls are well brought up and Maori have plenty of money; so keep part of the money from the feast and from horse racing to build that school lest we be shamed in the presence of the Pakeha. Send your money for that school to Mr James Williams who is directing the work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Other Buildings, </i> There is the church at Manutuke. That church has been rebuilt. I have £1000 in insurance money and £150 collected at the hui at Waiomatatini last year, but that building cost much more than that. There is £705 owing and the pews and other furnishings have not yet been made. Also there are some parishes which have not provided a house for the minister as if the minister was an animal and could live in the fields.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>The Clergy.</i> There are twenty-one ministers in this diocese. The Bishop has said that a minister should be paid £100 a year. That is a very small amount for the minister, although it means providing £2100 to support all our Maori ministers. There is a stipend trust for those ministers – an amount contributed by your forbears along with additional gifts from the Pakeha. The interest on that fund for the Maori clergy is £550 a year. The deficit is £1550. The support of our ministers depends on you making up that deficit. Each parish must contribute. Only one of the parishes has provided the stipend for its minister. Very little money has been contributed by all the other parishes. The reason why your ministers are not suffering is the generosity of your Pakeha friends. My friends, this is something you should be ashamed of. You must make an effort in this matter. If parishes which have money help the poorer parishes then all the clergy will be provided for. The right way of going about it is this. The parish should agree to collect two pounds a year for the minister’s stipend and appoint a trustworthy person to collect and look after that money. It should be sent to me or to J B Fielder in Napier. The Maori Church is not a child to be fed by the Pakeha section. There is the trust fund of your forebears, you contribute £10, and your Pakeha friends give £65. My friends, you can provide for your own ministers; let’s stop scrounging things from the Pakeha.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Insurance.</i> General Synod has said that all church buildings, whether churches or ministers’ houses, are to be insured. <b>[9]</b> This is important – a means whereby we will have money to rebuild a place if it is burned down. The churchwarden of the parish was instructed to arrange this lest a building be burned down without cover. Send the insurance certificate to me to look after.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Liquor.</i> Last year we tested the new provision which permits Maori to vote on the sale of liquor. It has been prohibited in one area, that of Horouta. Now, although that vote has been supported in one area and rejected in others, Maori are not going to overcome that enemy, liquor, if they do not stand in the strength given by God. I would dearly like to abolish public houses. What will soon bring an end to that terrible thing is if people give up drinking liquor. This can only be done in the strength given by God.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us, at this time, think about that thing which we call the heart. What is the meaning of this word, the heart, in the Bible? It is the wonderful place inside us whence come all our actions and where all our thoughts are born. There are myriads of seeds of good things and of bad things hidden in the heart. We cannot possible know all of them. God alone knows and see all these things: ‘I, the Lord, search what is in the heart.’ [Jeremiah 17.10] In the farewell speech of David to his son, Solomon, he said, ‘The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.’ [1 Chronicles 28.9 AV] The hidden places are open to the Lord. We are unable to hide anything from his eyes. David said, ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts.’ [Psalm 139.24] The heart is the source of our desires, of our spirits, of our emotions; it is the spring of our actions, our words, and our thoughts. It is important that this spring is always pure. If it isn’t then the river will not be clean. This is why David prayed after his great sin, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.’ [Psalm 51.10 AV] God granted this petition and afterwards David said, ‘Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.’ [Psalm 32.1 AV] The spring will be pure when the heart repents, and the outcome is not boasting but a humble heart, not filthy thoughts but a clean heart, not sin but righteousness. ‘Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?’ [James 3.11 AV] No. But if the source is clean then the water will also be pure. Therefore ‘Be intent on guarding your heart; for from there come the springs of life.’ [Proverbs 4.23] </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have seen what the heart is like – it is the source of all actions, it is the spring of our thoughts and our words. We must also consider this – the heart is the room of our spirits where we encounter God. Paul says, ‘For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness.’ [Romans 10.10 AV] And Philip said to the Ethiopian Eunuch, ‘If thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest [be baptised].’ [Acts 8.37 AV] The heart is the place where God meets us because it is by faith that we come to God and it is with the heart that we believe. The heart into which God enters is different from the heart which God does not enter. The first is the natural heart, the second is the new heart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Listen to the weords of God concerning the natural heart. First, it does not believe. ‘Take care, my brothers, that none of you have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.’ (Hebrews 3.12) Secondly, the natural heart is deceitful. ‘The man who trusts his own heart is a fool,’ says God in the Book of Proverbs. (Proverbs 28.26) And Jeremiah says, ‘The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.’ [Jeremiah 17.9] The Preacher also says, ‘The heart of the sons of men is full of evil.’ [Ecclesiastes 9.3 AV] Thirdly, the natural heart is far from God. Isaiah says, ‘This people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me.’ [Isaiah 29.13 AV] Fourthly, the spring of all evils is the natural heart. Christ says, ‘For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come, fornication, adultery, murder, theft, avarice, wickedness, deceit, persistent desires, envy, slander, pride and folly.’ [Mark 7.21-22] This is what the natural heart is like. Enough.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is the new heart like, according to the Scriptures? First, the new heart is a trusting heart. ‘Happy is the one who fears the Lord. <b>[10]</b> His heart is firm and he trusts in the Lord.’ [Psalm 112.1,7] Secondly, it is humble. ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, with the person whose heart is contrite.’ [Isaiah 57.15] Thirdly, the new heart is pure, Peter says, ‘Love one another with a pure heart.’ [1 Peter 1.22 AV] The heart is the source of love, of joy, of peace and of other fruits of the Spirit.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the two hearts God speaks of in the Bible. What is the state of our hearts?</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our text says, ‘Be intent on guarding your heart; for from there come the springs of life.’ Let us guard our hearts because the Devil’s attacks are many, along with the temptations of the world and the flesh. This is difficult, therefore God says to us, ‘Devote your thoughts to this work.’ Let us extinguish evil thoughts are their birth. Do not let them grow. Evil grows very rapidly because Satan is there fostering the evil things; but God is near us and at the time of temptation he gives us his power, if we pray to him. Let us work for him. Let us do three things to deal with the Devil and to guard our hearts:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. Be on watch lest the small seeds of evil are planted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. Do not cease praying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. If evil overcomes your goodness, God is our strength in our weakness, but he says to us, ‘Be intent on guarding your heart; for from there come the springs of life.’ May God strengthen us so that we do this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not be reluctant to send out this short article because you think there is no such thing as a monster. The place where this monster lived was a dry pukatea tree, about five feet through. Presently, when it was cut down by the Pakeha for firewood, the hole was discovered. The Pakeha asked what was in that hole. Then one of the Pakeha speared a stick into the hole. Boy! This monster came out and scared them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of them called out to bring a bag in which to catch it and carry it to Whanganui. The other said that there was no way he was going to go; even if he was given ten pounds he wouldn’t go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then the Pakeha cut the bag open the length of that monster to stuff in the spikes. Then that Pakeha went until he was above the monster then he grabbed its throat with one hand and its middle with the other. He struggled with the monster for a long time. The blood flowed from the Pakeha’s hands.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When night came it gnawed through the box and ran off. Some of the Maori went and found that it had returned to its dwelling-place.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Please send this article to Pine Tamahori. Greetings. I have seen your response to my notice in Te Pipi 165. You say that I am out of line in my answer to your article because you were speaking rather of the Church’s teaching. But, my friend, that article of mine was about what your Church thinks and what it tells everyone, that the authority of its ministers descends from Christ to the Apostles to your ministers. Now, given this point of view, I am right to criticize your explanation because it is very clear that the authority of the Bishop and your ministers did not descend from Christ. Indeed, you agree that the Apostles did not appoint replacements for themselves before they died and they did not instruct people after them to do it. Now, my friend, since that did not happen it is right to ask where your Bishop gets his authority. Indeed, in your explanation you say that the Bishop alone has the power to ordain ministers. Now, my friend, if your Bishop is like the Apostles, if he dies and has not appointed ministers after those he appointed, who is going to appoint ministers? Likewise I say about the Apostles that they alone have the ‘power of apostleship’ to appoint minister for the work of ministry in the Church. As for Henry [VIII], he was a firm Catholic. When he put away his wife he wished to marry Ann Boleyn and the Pope of his Church did not agree to that action. From that time Henry and his group came out of their Catholic Church along with those who ran his kingdom. He set up the Church for them and his Bishops and clergy, which he called the Protestant Church of England. Henry with the support of Parliament became Head of the Church. This was the time that the Protestant Church of England began; there was no such name before. This was how authority was given to the clergy. The year 1562 was when the rules of the Church were established. So it is that you get your standing from authority descending from Henry and his Bishops. This is the genealogy you have and we are well able to see it. We are quickly aware that yes, you are right. I finish here.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. You have given a good explanation of your ‘strange’ view. But you should be aware that this paper is sponsored by my Church. In my words to the people of my Church I point out the things from the time of the Apostles which have been held to, right up to the present, and which have become our valued inheritance. Those words are not written from a boastful heart and they do not seek to belittle other Churches. You are right when you say that I point out to everyone that the authority of ministers descends from Christ as if I am saying that all other ministers lack authority. Let these exchanges bring an end to our discussions for in no way will you like what I say. Our discussions, were we to continue them, would stumble into deep matters. Our discussion is superficial, and that is all that I have attempted. You will not listen to that and you will not listen no matter how long we talk. Our discussion about the authority of the clergy is not about the Apostleship. I say that that authority comes from Christ. That is what I said in the heading of those articles of mine – they are a valued inheritance, ‘our inheritance in the Church’. You say that that authority did not descend from Christ. Here is my short lineage of this authority. Christ set apart the Apostles; the Apostles set apart the Deacons and the Bishops. That authority to ordain was not given by the Apostles to the Deacons but to the Bishops. Timothy and Titus were Bishops. Timothy was placed in Ephesus and Titus in Crete. These were Paul’s words to the two of them: ‘Do not ordain anyone hastily.’ (1 Timothy 5.22 NRSV) ‘I left you behind in Crete for this reason, that you should put in order what remained to be done and should appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.’ (Titus 1.5 NRSV) So we see that during the lifetimes of the Apostles the Bishops were given that power to ordain ministers. Paul says to Timothy, ‘Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you, through prophecy with the laying-on of hands by the council of elders.’ (1 Timothy 4.14 NRSV) This was that authority. It descended from Christ to the Apostles, from the Apostles to the Bishops, and it now resides in the Bishops. From the time of Timothy and the others it was held by the Bishops and the Bishops have continued to have this authority up to the present day. There are many Bishops in the Church so the disaster of which you speak is unlikely to happen – if there are no Bishops who is going to appoint ministers? I do not speak of the authority of Apostleship. That is a different matter. I did not say that the Apostles did not appoint replacements for themselves. I did say that the Apostles did not appoint Apostles in their place, but the authority to appoint ministers was given by the Apostles to the Bishops. My understanding is that what I say is clearly right when I say that the power to ordain ministers has descended from Christ to the Apostles and from the Apostles to the Bishops. From that time when Bishops were appointed for the Church up to the present there has never been a time when there were no Bishops, so there have been no breaks in the line by which that authority has descended on the Bishops from the Apostles up to now. Therefore it is also right to speak of this valuable treasure, the authority to ordain ministers, as a valued inheritance. I conclude my explanations here. I think they are clear to people who wish to understand. What you say about King Henry VIII is not right. This would be a deep matter for us to pursue. Do not let us get tangled up in many issues. That’s enough of this. Let us call a halt to this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In last month’s edition of our bird we spoke about the New Parliament. That article was written at home before the dispute between the Opposition and the Government was settled. The impression given by all before that sitting of Parliament was that the Opposition would be elected and the Government defeated. But when votes were taken the Government survived and the Opposition was defeated. The New Government we referred to was the Opposition because that was the situation when we wrote our article before the final numbers came out and we thought then as most others thought.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the Government was installed Mr Ward announced that he was standing down and giving the post of Prime Minister to someone else, to someone in his own party, on the Government side. On Thursday 21st March there was a meeting of the Government side to choose one of themselves as Prime Minister. In the middle of the night Thomas Mackenzie and Millar had been nominated. They were sent out of the meeting. There was no agreement that night as to which of them should be chosen. Because of the difficulty, Millar withdrew his name, and George Laurenson was nominated. The vote gave Mackenzie 22 and Laurenson 9. When Mackenzie was made Prime Minister he set about choosing ten men to be ministers and his colleagues in Government. By the night of Friday 28th he had chosen his ministers. These are his chosen Ministers:</span></div>

Mackenzie is the only one of Ward’s Ministers retained in this Government. Although these are new ministers their work will be like that done by Ward and the others since they still belong to that party. In the next edition of our paper there will be plenty about the work of Parliament.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE MAORI PARTY OF THE NEW WORLD [THE YOUNG MAORI PARTY].</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the sixteenth Hui of the Association now known as the Maori Party of the New World. In the course of those years many important works and many matters which have contributed to the well-being of the people have been accomplished in those Hui. Some of those concerns have been turned into law by the Government, but most are still lying in the Annual Reports of the Party and have not seen the light of day. This Party was set up at the beginning to accomplish two tasks only which the Te Aute students in those days thought important. First, to gather together the students of Te Aute, the old and the new. Second, to find ways to improve the life of the Maori People, body, mind and spirit. During the first year after the foundation of the Party, three young people (now Dr Pomare, Rev R T Kohere, and Rev Timutimu Tawhai) went into parts of Hawkes Bay to speak about the aims of the Association. That was the beginning of the Party’s travels to Maori districts. Although those young people were saddened by the reluctance of the elders to adopt the teachings they gave at that time they did not abandon the work, rather the Party has persevered and as was said above this is the sixteenth of its Hui. This year I am happy because three of the original members of this Party have been elected as representatives of the people in Parliament. The Association sees this as a very good thing and we find we now have voices in the legislative house.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here I want to speak about some projects that can appropriately be undertaken by this Party. These projects are simply ways of enhancing the lives of the Maori People.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first is the writing of books. I have always thought that this was a very important matter. It was raised at the Hui at Te Hauke last year. How are Maori going to learn to think? Nothing is better than a book to make a person think.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is something the Pakeha appreciate and it is something Maori also should appreciate. We ridicule the childish heart of the Maori and how they waste this thing, money, but we do not try to teach them at the beginning. This is something that the Association can do easily if our hearts are in it. It is easy because many of the elders of the Maori People are members of this Party, and those people are in a position to write some good books for the people to read.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second matter is how we are to stir up Pakeha hearts to help Maori. We know very well that the Pakeha is not much interested in the Maori. Because of the lands held by Maori the Pakeha takes an interest in him, but that interest on the part of the Pakeha is so as to make himself some shillings; it is not out of a concern for the Maori. This is not a good situation. The right thing for the Pakeha to do is to help Maori grow into very good people and not just good people. This is something I have thought about a great deal and I wrote letters to the Napier newspaper last year. As a result of my letters I was invited to speak one night to the Pakeha of Napier. Many people came to that talk; the Bishop of Waiapu was the Chairman. I said there that it was right that the Pakeha help the Maori because this is the time for the peoples to come together, not a time for despising one another. I also said there that there was no difficulty in the Pakeha helping the Maori since the Maori are a noble people, and as peoples we no longer live at loggerheads with each other and despising one another. After that speech the newspaper wrote an article along these lines and saying that it would be good to hold a meeting of the Maori Party of the New World in Napier so that the Pakeha can see the kinds of things that Party is doing as it seeks the well-being of the people. That paper lies there as a challenge to the Party.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third matter is liquor. This is a major topic debated by the Party at all its meetings. At the Hui of the Party held in Wellington in 1908 the Government was petitioned to give Maori the power to vote on the sale of liquor and since that year </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">the Government has passed the law that is now in force. At the Te Hauke Hui it was discussed and it was said that the Councils should be urged to ask the Governor to give them the power to hold a vote. Four Councils applied and for the first time Horouta has achieved the prohibition of the sale of liquor. This subject is still on the table for the Hui to deal with this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fourth matter is the Doctor. This is a very important matter for the Maori People. It was dealt with by the Te Hauke Hui when Doctor Tutere Wi Repa came and spoke to the Hui on the subject. For the previous hui he wrote a paper pointing out the way to make it easier for Maori to see a doctor. After the Te Hauke Hui the Standing Committee met at Te Aute. Dr Wi Repa told that meeting that the Government should appoint a doctor to go around Maori areas and that that doctor should also serve as Secretary for the Association. That proposal was sent to the Honourable Timi Kara, but to no effect. Subsequently I wrote to the Minister about the matter but nothing came of it. And that is the situation at present. But the Party must not give up working on this matter because it is very important. I believe that money should not be a reason for stopping an ill Maori from going to the doctor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fifth is the faith. This is an important matter for the Party. When the Party began this was one of the main causes it promoted. But I am sorry to say that the Party appears lackadaisical when it comes to dealing with this subject. At recent past hui the matter has been left until last and has not been dealt with because there has been no time. My wish is that this hui will discuss the faith at length.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These things I have listed are the main subjects that will provide an agenda for the Hui. In my heart I hope that you, the local people, will also be moved to participate in the business of the Hui. For these hui are not for the purpose of showing how learned we are but for us to understand what you are thinking. The tasks are for all of us. And it is not our desire that you should just be like <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">empty bottles</span>, spreading out food for our stomachs, but we have come to probe for your ideas and bring them into the open.</span></div>

The Chairman’s address to the hui was excellent and when the proceedings opened a motion was passed praising that speech. One motion of sympathy was passed by the hui. That motion was one of sympathy and of tribute to Moa Whakatere who died at Gisborne just before the hui on the 9th. He was an elder of the Church. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, greetings. What I am writing about to you is what Puhi Kaiariki said: ‘Liquor is a noble drink, it is drunk by generals.’ Yes, it is true that they drink this drink because they are responsible for stocking u<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">p this thing, but alsop for setting limits.</span> Friend, for us Maori it is wrong. Friend, consider this. On 23rd February I went to Tairua taking my four cases of peaches, worth 3/6. The hotel owner had asked me to take those cases. When I arrived a half-caste said to me, ‘Come and have a drink.’ I said, ‘No’. He was insistent and I drank. I was completely intoxicated, drunk. I did not get sugar, tea or <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">candles</span>. I returned home. When I arrived my daughter was angry because her morning’s work had been wasted because there was no sugar. I went to get honey from the hives to sweeten the tea in the morning. So, Puhi, what is the good of this ‘food’? Our land is still a wilderness because we do not <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">set <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">li<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">mi<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ts for</span></span></span></span> ourselves.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">HUI OF THE PARTY OF THE NEW WORLD [YOUNG MAORI PARTY] HELD AT NUHAKA.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Thursday, 7th March, the hui of the above Party was held. The hui was advertised for the 6th but because there was no direct boat from Napier to Waikokopu or Te Wairoa, Mr Thornton, the Chairman of the Party, and the Rev Arthur Williams had to travel by coach and arrived at Nuhaka on the night of the 6th. The evening’s business was the welcome to be visitors from the local people. At 10 on the Thursday morning the hui began. Because it was a beautiful day it was held outside on the marae so that all the people could assemble to listen. All the family of Rakaipaka came to Nuhaka for their hui because three hui had been called for the same time. The first was that of the Mormons for their church building; afterwards came that of the Party; and afterwards that of the Church of England for the opening of their church also. This is the reason why Rakaipaka filled the marae; there were many at the meeting. The band of the school children led the people to the opening of the hui. The children’s band was admirable. The things they played were flutes. That was Rakaipaka’s way of celebrating the hui of the Party. After the band had played, Mr Thornton and the Rev Arthur Williams stood to thank the school master and the children for their playing. They had much to say to the children, encouraging them to hold on to their great gift. Mr Thornton also said that he would take the example of the Nuhaka School back to Te Aute and perhaps set up a band for his children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After their speeches the Rev Arthur Williams stood to open the hui with prayer. Most of this part of the work of the hui was taken up with the speech of the Chairman. The words of that speech were good for the people to listen to right to the end. From that time until the Saturday evening the people continued to come to listen and to support the matters being dealt with by the hui. Because of the terrible weather before the hui most of the leaders of the Association were not able to get there – the Hon A T Ngata, Rev R T Kohere, Dr Tutere Wi Repa, Taranaki Te Umairangi and others. Those people were to give the keynote addresses to the hui. But, since they did not arrive, the Rakaipaka people were encouraged to write motions for the hui to deal with, and so that the hui would have work to do. They agreed to that, and when it came to the session of the hui after lunch the group was overloaded with motions. One man presented fourteen motions. Those Rakaipaka people running the Hui said that we should limit the number so that the canoe can be brought to shore and not sink in the sea by and by. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But that man said, 'Wait until you are full up and don't go making work for me, It'll serve you right!'</span> Altogether 38 motions were dealt with and the wishes of the local people and those of the Association were well satisfied. Most of those motions relating to the Nuhaka district were equally applicable to Te Wairoa. The first motion was a request to the Party to ask the Government to pass a law making it illegal for a doctor to ask for payment if his patient is dying. The mover of the motion recited at length how his money had been used up on the doctor when he was but skin and bones. After long consideration the motion was set aside because it presented difficulties and the doctor is not able to swear that a sick person is going to live or die. One motion was a request to the Party to find a way to revive the Rakaipaka dairy industry. That matter took a long time to deal with. In the course of the explanations it was discovered that their factory had had problems, and also the collapse of the bridge had meant an end to production for some people. The Hui decided to write a letter to the Hon A T Ngata for him to lay before the Government the case for helping the dairy industry of the Whanau-a-Rakaipaka.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One motion concerned the Government-sponsored children attending Te Aute and Hukarere and asking that their time at those schools be extended from two to four years. This motion was referred to the Chairman. In his explanation the Chairman said that it cost Te Aute school £25 a year for each child. Part of the income of Te Aute goes to Hukarere to help that school. Given this situation the Trustees of Te Aute decided that the pupils should pay £10 to relieve the school.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He said that the intention of the motion was indeed right. He will lay the motion before the trustees of the school. The motion was settled after being amended to say that children should not have to pay if it is well known that their parents are not able to raise that money, but it is for the headteacher and the committee of the child’s school to write a letter to the Headteacher of Te Aute certifying that the parents of that child are not in a position to pay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One motion dealt with at length concerned the actions of hotel owners who drive Maori out of their buildings. Many people spoke of their troubles in Napier. One man told of walking around Hastings all night because he was not allowed into the hotels. The motion agreed upon on this matter said that the Secretary of the Hui should write a letter to the Liquor Licensing Committees of areas in which it is known Maori have been ill-used, that is, all areas, pointing out to those Committees the wickedness of hotel owners expelling Maori from their buildings and informing them also that the practice is growing and should be suppressed. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I end here my account of the Hui for the moment. It will be completed in the next issue of the paper. But I will say here some words of praise to the local people for their great kindness during the Hui. All the activities on the marae were beautifully arranged, including the dining hall. That dining hall was a very large building, able to hold perhaps 700 people at one sitting. There were 16 tables with perhaps 40 people at each table. Everything done in connection with that hall was very good; there was no flustering or anything. A steamer was used to cook the food, something used in all districts of Hawkes Bay. The place where the food was prepared was set apart for the designated people; no visitor could wander into it at random, he had first to be given a ticket by their Secretary. Should an unauthorised person go in without a ticket they were fined 5/-. Rakaipaka had some good ways of running their Hui and although the provision of food took a lot of time there were no problems at all. Everything was successfully completed. Congratulations to the Whanau-a-Rakaipaka for their efforts in doing the work.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 7th March Captain Amundsen reached Tasmania and there he announced to the whole world that he had reached the southern end of the world. He and his companions took 97 days to get there and 39 to return. The journey began on 8th September and they arrived on 14th December. On 17th December they set out for home and on 25th January they arrived at their base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before writing about Captain Amundsen’s struggle to the South I shall set down the story of his vision for that journey, so that it is clear to us. This man is famous for such enterprises. In 1903 he set out to travel to the snowy lands of the Northern seas. In 1906 his ship emerged having traversed [the North-West Passage] around the top of America. Other brave men had attempted that passage in the past, but he was the one who at last achieved it. That was when his fame spread. After that, in 1909, he told the world of his desire to sail on his ship to the northern end of the world. His idea was that the ocean current would carry his ship so that eventually it would arrive above the point men were searching for. He said that perhaps he would be out of contact for seven years. This was a major journey and many famous people from his own country of Norway backed his project. Soon after he had announced his project news arrived that Perry had reached that end of the world. Amundsen realized that that meant the end of his journey; no-one would be willing to help him because another man had achieved it. Afterwards he had the idea of being the first to reach the South Pole, and if he achieved that then he could fulfill his desire to go to the North Pole. He thought that in this way people would be inspired to help with his first project. But his mistake was that he did not tell the people and indeed the whole world that he was first going to the Southern ocean. He explained that it was out of fear that people would not agree. In August he sailed his ship to the south of America and the world thought that he was going by that route and would turn northwards to accomplish his project. <b>[7]</b> But, no, he kept on going towards the Southern Pole. When Captain Scott’s steamship returned from the icy land he spotted Amundsen’s ship in a bay called The Bay of Whales where he was making a base for himself. When Scott’s steamship arrived, the world was made aware that Amundsen was heading instead to the South Pole. This made many people angry for they thought that he was acting wrongly in going there when it was common knowledge that Captain Scott of England was seeking to go there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His Journey.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the early days of February, 1911, he completed a base for himself in the Bay of Whales. From 10th February until 11th April he and his men laid food depots for them on the path they were to travel. That done, they returned to base and stayed there waiting until the worst of winter had passed. On 8th September they set out to engage in the struggle. But they had not gone far before they returned because of the intense cold and many of the dogs had died. They waited until it got warmer. In the middle of October they again set out and kept steadily on course. The place that he traversed was all sea, but covered with ice, while Captain Scott travelled through a place where there was known to be land. Their task was to set up food depots on some parts of the way against their return. There were five in their party, with four sleighs and 52 dogs to pull the sleighs. The food they carried was sufficient to last four months. Five of them went southwards and three of them went eastwards. The latter journey was to explore the land called after Edward VII. On 5th November his own party reached 82 degrees of Latitude; they had travelled 240 miles from their base. They spent three days resting there. On 9th November they reached 83 degrees. Here the land began but the land they travelled on was all iced over. Then for the first time they encountered bad crevasses. Here they made a large encampment for themselves and they left food for 60 days at that encampment. Here the land began to rise but the hills were not steep and so it was comparatively easy for the dogs to pull the sleighs. For two days they climbed upwards continually and at the end of the two days they had reached 4,500 feet above sea level. On the third day they descended. Then on the fourth day they climbed again, this was the long climb. Their way took them amongst lofty mountains 15,000 feet high. On the evening of the fourth day they climbed to a plateau amongst the mountains. That plateau was 10,000 feet above sea level. They stopped there and were closed in by snow storms for four days. Twenty-four of the dogs were killed there leaving eighteen to transport them to the end of the journey. At this time their journey was downhill. On 29th November the sky was clear and at last they saw the sun. On 3rd December they reached a place where the ice flowed down like slowly flowing water. It has been named the Devil’s Glacier. He says that it is a fearful thing to journey in that place; there <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">were </span>dull heavy sounds below when one stamped one’s feet. On 6th December they reached the highest point on their way; it was at a height of 10,750 feet. On 8th December they reached 88 degrees. This was as far as Shackleton got on his journey in 1910. Here the undulating land they were travelling over began to slope down. At three o’clock in the afternoon on 14th December they reached the End of the Earth [the South Pole]. He says that the land in that place is flat. The cold there was 23 degrees [Fahrenheit]. To get some idea of how cold this is, reflect that a person’s skin is 98 degrees [Fahrenheit]. So the cold of that place is far below the warmth of human skin. They stayed there for three days. During those days they made careful measurements with their instruments to determine the exact location of that place. They put up a strong tent there and placed on it the flag of Norway and the flag of their ship. The distance they had covered from their base to that Pole was 1400 miles. He named the place Polheim. The country over which he had travelled was named King Haakon VII’s Plateau (the King of Norway). The high mountains through which he had passed were named for Queen Maud (the Queen of Norway). He says that this mountain range is 527 miles long, mountains like Raukumara and others here. On 17th December they set out on their return journey and arrived at the base on 25th January. Of the 4 sleighs and 52 dogs that left the base, 2 sleighs and 11 dogs returned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the account Amundsen gave of his journey. He says that he saw no sign at the South Pole to show him that Captain Scott had arrived. <b>[8]</b> When he arrived we learned Captain Amundsen’s story. Now let us offer many congratulations, well-wishes, and honours to Captain Amundsen, the man who searched for the South Pole and discovered it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. This is a request from me to you that, if you are willing, would you please load up the following words to be carried by the bird to the Marae he flies to. An accident happened to the Chatham Islands steamship. On 3rd February the steamer arrived at the harbour here at Waitangi. The next day it sailed to the cliffs of this island to discharge its cargo and then sailed on to an island beyond Wharekauri; it is called Rangiauria [Pitt Island]. It sailed to the south of that island to collect the wool belonging to a Maori there. When it arrived at that place the wind had got up and the anchor was lowered. Before long the anchor chain snapped, and that man’s wool had not arrived. The steamer then headed for the north side of the island to fetch some people from there and also some cargo from the place. On the Saturday night the steamer sailed from there to Waitangi. On 10th February the steamer arrived at Waitangi. Before dawn on the 11th – a week after arriving – between four and five o’clock the steamer drove onto the sand. The people on land saw what had happened and gathered at the place. The captain of the steamer sent a message to land in a bottle: it said that if anyone could get his steamer out to sea again he would give him £500. Before long another bottle arrived on land; it contained a request to fetch the doctor as the steamer’s cook was seriously ill. He was quickly fetched. The doctor’s arrival co-incided with the closing of the eyes of the sick man; he had died. The cargo of the steamer at that time was: one thousand boxes of frozen fish from the fish factory here, forty bales of wool, one cow and one horse. The name of this steamship is the Himitangi. As I saw it, the distance from the place where the chain broke was a mile and a half. This is why that steamer came aground – the chain broke. It was also because everyone was overcome by sleep. It was only when the steamer went onto the sand that they knew that they were aground. Also they were wondering what to do about the one who had become ill. So much for that.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I said that during the week the steamer’s cook died. On Monday 11th an elderly Pakeha here died, a well-known Pakeha in days gone by. The Maori called him Potopoto. In the past all the people of Wharekauri depended on him. He was the Agent responsible for getting things sent to New Zealand and he was the one who conveyed those things in those days. He had a ship in those days called the Oma. That Pakeha had a lot of land. He also had a large clothing store here; that building is still standing. There was a single burial service for these Pakeha on the 13th. The clergy who buried them were Matene Keepa, a Maori minister, and Mr Grace, a Pakeha minister. When this Pakeha, Potopoto, died he was destitute. His ship, the Oma, had broken up more than twenty years ago. At that time the first steamer arrived to carry things from here to New Zealand. That steamer was the Kahu. The Toroa was the steamer after that, and the Ripo came after the Toroa, and after the Ripo came the Himitangi which ran aground. I end here my explanation of this accident.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is only Ngati Porou that has introduced new farming practices, the use of telephones, and the prohibition of alcohol. There is also something new that has been done and completed. This is a Totara Pole which has been erected as a memorial to the dead. This pole is big; each of the four sides measures fourteen inches. It has been made like the stone pillars of the Pakeha and painted with marble paint. The ignorant would not know that that pole is of wood but would think that it was a very expensive stone. It is ten feet high and is beautiful to look at. It was also a quickly erected stone; it cost nothing, but it looks like a stone, and it will last for a similar time. The deceased for whom this new stone was erected was Tamati Ngakaho, an elder skilled in carving.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Wednesday, 7th February, the court of enquiry into Horouta’s liquor poll met. A petition was also brought condemning that poll. The court sat for two days. One thing was obvious at that enquiry and that was that Ngati Porou was of one mind in opposing the overthrow of its vote - both those who drink and those who do not. When those in favour of the prohibition of liquor spoke people were apprehensive lest something wrong might be said, but all was correct and clear. If a speech seemed to be a bit ‘crippled’ then everyone held their breath; but the faces of people appeared moderately relaxed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the two days of the enquiry into the Horouta vote the minds of many were on the hearing. A woman said to her husband, ‘For goodness sake, sit down and make a store for our seeds.’ That rascal replied, ‘I can’t sit down. This is a most important matter. Even if you fall down dead, I shan’t sit down.’ He turned out his horse and went away flat out. This shows how strongly Ngati Porou felt about its vote.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When one of the speakers for the side which condemned the Horouta vote stood, he was questioned by the Lawyer for the prohibition side. ‘Was it Paratene Ngata’s job to write the minutes of the Council meetings?’ The answer was, ‘Yes.’ ‘Have his records always been correct in the past?’ The answer was, ‘Yes.’ The lawyer told him to sit down. One of the Maori who were listening whispered to the interpreter, ‘Ask that Lawyer why, if all the past records were correct, should this one be wrong?’ He spoke to the Lawyer who stood to ask that question. The answer of the witness was that he did not know. This question was praised by the judges. The man who put the question was the man who spoke to his wife.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The civil war in China is involving more and more people. The end is near with the side seeking the overthrow of the Emperor winning. The Emperor has been banished. The famous man is Yuan Shi-kai. That man is one of the Emperor’s generals; he is the only reason why the Emperor’s side is showing any strength. The famous man on the side which is seeking the overthrow of the Emperor is Doctor Sun Yat-sen. This man has visited all countries. He recently came to China. It did not matter that there was fighting going on. When the Emperor fled the Doctor was installed as President. That Doctor asked Yuan Shi-kai to come over to his side and to become President. But that great man was of two minds. If he were to change then the war would be at an end, and if not it would intensify. So the situation is now difficult, since Dr Sun Yat-sen has declared that Yuan Shi-kai is supporting the Emperor. If this is the case then the war will flare up again.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings to you and your whole household, along with your friends who manage our treasure. Greetings to you in the year of our Lord, and it is in this year that these tribes are experiencing sorrow. If you would, we ask you to send out this tribute to this young man related to us in different ways in the Lord, the Rev H T Papahia whose body has been laid to rest with the dead. He died on 9th February, 1912, at Orongotea, Hokianga. His death will be lamented in the Islands of the Pacific Ocean because he was the minister who went to those islands in recent years, and here in Aotearoa where many times he visited every place from the ‘Tail of the Fish’ [Northland] and back. All the tribes knew him well – his character, his appearance, and his works. Therefore, tribes, hapu, and authorities, greetings. Although we do not see you face to face, we see you in love. Greetings to those of you who received Papahia in the days of his life. His people experience sorrow and pain at the death of their relative, their father, who has been taken by the Creator to be his servant in heaven. He was a chief in his own right through his ancestors on his father’s side, but although he was a great chief he did not boast and he behaved like a servant. Similarly he was a great leader in the faith. But although he was a leader in two areas he did not think it of importance but brought people together with a humble heart. He put his energy into carrying the Gospel to the ends of the country. In October 1911 he crossed to the last island, Te Waipounamu. During November he fell ill. For four months he fought this illness. However the severity of the illness meant that he died on 9th February and on Wednesday 14th the soil was piled over him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">People of the hapu of Te Waipounamu, greetings to you who last saw our relative in the Lord who has died. Therefore I salute you with loving greetings. Greetings to you. Although we do not see you, we salute you with love. As our Lord says, ‘The greatest of all is love.’</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many people came to the funeral of this leader. And what was said by the leaders gathered in that house of sorrow was that there was no Papahia like this one. There was much lamentation on the part of the people in that house of mourning for the Rev H H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span> and Rev Hone Wi who travelled long distances from far-off places to see their brother in the Lord, and they were very sad. Rev H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">awkins</span> is Pakeha but he has become a Maori and his Maoritanga is that of a real Maori. Father, go to your ancestors who have gone to the life hereafter. Farewell. There will be no-one like you after you, nor will anyone be able to follow in your footsteps or carry the treasure of the faith as you did so faithfully when you were alive. Farewell, farewell to be an Angel for God. This was something suggested by your character in this world, and it was said of you, ‘You are God’s Angel.’ Such is my tribute. Greetings, all the tribes. May God bless and keep you all.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the evening of Saturday, 9th March, Noa Whakaatere entered upon his long sleep. People felt much sympathy on hearing this news, love for one of the last remaining elders in Gisborne and pity for the manner of his death. He was wandering around town on Monday and Tuesday, and on Saturday he died. The doctor said that he worked very hard and one of the arteries in his chest burst. Noa took to bed on Wednesday and was seriously ill on Friday. After dinner when he knew that there was something wrong with his body, he heard in his ears a murmuring – his travelling party calling him to set out on the broad way of death. He instructed his children about the things that had happened there and that he should be carried outside for a last look at his home, and he directed them from behind. That instruction was an emotional thing for those who saw the elder sitting on his bed and looking at his village. Who knows what thoughts were in his heart when he was looking. It was his final look at the village as he declined. It was a pitiful thing. He finished looking, lay down and closed his eyes in sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Noa was known in all parts of the Tai Rawhiti. He was a chief by descent, and a chief when it came to the land – a man’s true chiefliness in these days, and a pillar of the faith. He was a man who was loyal to the Government in former times. When the Hauhau came here to Gisborne he was one of the men who went to Auckland to ask Mr McLean to send soldiers to protect them. Mr McLean did not grant their request but gave them a flag as a sign of their loyalty. They held onto that flag when Te Kooti came. Noa and his people kept the Law.</span></div>

Many Pakeha from Gisborne, including the Mayor, came to his burial. Heni Materoa received telegrams from the Prime Minister, the Hon Sir Timi Kara, the Hon A T Ngata, and others, on her loss.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Queen Mother of Sweden is the eldest of the Queen Mothers. Her marriage to the King of Sweden was not arranged by their parents but it was their love that brought them together. Her husband was the third son of the King and it was not thought that he would become King, but when his brothers died before their father the role became his. She was a good Queen, a devout woman. Her practice with regard to her children was to permit them to marry the person they desired. One of her sons married a commoner. That son gave up his claim to the throne.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the Queen Mothers who is well-known is the Italian. During the whole time she was Queen her home was not ill-spoken of by people; she did everything well. Her husband always treated her like a brother, and because of her goodness he lavished kindnesses on her. One day as they were travelling in their carriage a man came up to give a petition to the King. When the King bowed down and stretched out to take the petition, the man drew out a knife to stab the King. Straightaway the Queen thrust her bouquet of flowers into the assassin’s face. The man could not see and could not quickly do as he intended. The soldiers arrived and seized him. She did other things. It is said that she is very good at mountaineering.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">IMPORTANT MATTERS ABOUT WHICH TIME WILL TELL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The election is over and people have declared who they want as their spokesmen in Parliament. Three matters emerged from this vote which we wish to speak about. Each of these things will affect the Maori People in the days to come. These are important matters, matters we are hesitant to speak about concerning the outcome for the Maori People.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, we have a new Government in place. For the first time in twenty-one years we have a new Government to run the affairs of the land. One of the roles of the Government of New Zealand is to be a foster parent to the Maori People. Since the old Government has been defeated and a new Government is in place, it has to be the parent to the Maori People. Its job is to protect the Maori lest they be tricked by the Pakeha people. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is one main way, according to Maori, in which they could suffer, and that is by the loss of their land. A Maori person’s lands are his life and if he has no land he says that it is a waste of time living in the world. Now the old Government was committed to taking care of the management of Maori lands. It forbade the sale of land out of concern that Maori would sell all their lands under the illusion that they were dying out. This Government, when it was in Opposition, continually criticized the old Government’s actions. So we can but wait to see how it is going to protect the Maori People. It has given its word to the Pakeha in all corners of the Dominion that settling people on the land is one of its main policies. But how is it going to fulfill its promise while, at the same time, protecting the Maori People? When did it say that it was giving up protecting the Maori and protecting his lands? It is not known how this is going to work out; only time will tell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second matter concerns those members the Maori of Aotearoa have elected as their spokesmen in the House of Parliament. There is the Hon Apirana Turupa Ngata MA LLB, Doctor Te Rangihiroa MB ChB, and Doctor Pomare MD. The three are the only ones with titles. They were all educated at Te Aute and so they seem to be of the one family. These three are the only members of the Maori Party of the New World [Young Maori Party]. This is a Party which seeks ways for the betterment of the people. One sees from this that they are people seeking the well-being of the people. This is something that make s the heart rejoice with hope. The Hon A T Ngata was first secretary of this Party and is still one of its leaders. The strong commitment of this man to seeking the well-being of the people is widely known. Te Rangihiroa is the main leader of the Northern section of the Party. He has been in Parliament for three years. He does well there because he knows how to handle that House. Maui Pomare is one of the Te Aute students who first advocated for this Party. For a long time he has worked on important jobs for the Government and as a result he has a clear idea of what he is to do in the House now that he has at last been elected as a member. <b>[2]</b> While we do not know what attitude the new Government will take to the Maori People, we recognize that we have sent good men into Parliament who will protect us, providing they stick together. In addition to these we have the Honourable Timi Kara. He has grown up in that House and he knows all the ways to do battle in that home. Although he sits as a Pakeha member he does not forget his Maori People, nor does he violate the principles for which he stands. These are the sentinels of the Maori People. Although indeed we do not know what problems lie before us, we do know that we have strong, clear-thinking men as our sentinels. But we can only leave things for time to tell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third is the Prohibition of Alcohol. This is a new cause for the Maori People and, of all the district Councils that voted on this matter, only Horouta voted for prohibition. Horouta is the group clearing the pathway for this cause. Most Maori are looking to see whether Horouta thrives or suffers. Horouta has banned the sale of this thing, liquor. No other place has. The many sports of the Pakeha are not coming here. The main local sport, drinking liquor until a person is drunk, is at an end. Right up until election day Horouta was in agreement with Ngati Porou about prohibiting liquor. This was not an easy thing for Horouta to do given the above explanations. One of the Horouta hotels has closed and in March another will close. The benefits to Horouta have already begun to be seen. Time will tell whether the bones of the hotels which still stand will follow in the path of those which have been consigned to darkness. The example of Ngati Porou has been set, a difficult example for some, and in the future eyes will be fastened on, and ears will be waiting for news of, Horouta. Time will show what will come of this matter, the result of Horouta’s vote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These three things are of singular importance, matters of value to the people. In our hearts we hope for a fruitful outcome. The people are like a newly married man awaiting the birth of his first child; he is eager for a son, but cannot tell whether it will be a boy or a girl. Only time will tell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE HOROUTA POLL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the right time to rouse our hearts and to recall our ideas about the battle fought by Horouta recently. The process of Hourouta’s battle was:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) Section 46 of the the Licensing Act (Liquor) of the Dominion of New Zealand 1910, 1 and 2.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(2) A request from the Horouta Council to authorize a vote by the Maori within that district on whether to permit or stop the sale of liquor to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(3) The vote was taken on 19th December, 1911. The vote began at Tawhiti Maunga and ended at Torere-mai-Tawhiti.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(4) On that day, 19th December, 1911, the majority of Maori of Horouta decided to prohibit the sale of liquor to them, from the base of Tawhiti to Torere-mai-Tawhiti.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(5) The majority of votes for prohibition over those for allowing was 169; 555 voted for prohibition and 386 for allowing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(6) Therefore the sound of the voice of the people of Horouta asking for an end to the sale of liquor to them was clear and not a trifling thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But their opponents did not leave this canoe, Horouta, to float calmly. It was not long before there was a critical petition on the part of those supporting liquor. They asked that a court be set up to enquire into some basic faults which led to their defeat in the liquor poll. These were the objections:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The wording of the Act is as follows: ‘The majority of those eligible to vote will determine whether liquor is to be sold or whether the sale of liquor is to be prohibited.’ The English words are, ‘majority of electors’. The opponents say that most of those eligible to vote did not vote on that day. Therefore they are asking that the result of the vote on 19th December 1911 be declared invalid. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was not a quorum at the meeting of the Council which passed the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">motion asking the Governor to permit a vote on whether to allow or prevent the sale of liquor to the Maori of Horouta. Therefore, say the opponents, that request to the Governor was invalid because it was not passed by a majority of Councillors. They asked that the Horouta vote be overturned.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 7th February the Court came to Te Awanui to investigate this matter. Three judges were authorized to investigate this matter. Mr Barton from Gisborne presided, with Mr Dwyer from Rotorua and Mr McCarthy from Napier alongside him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There were lawyers for the appellants and lawyers for the defence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These were the arguments that they put forward for consideration.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lawyers for the defendants said that this Court had no jurisdiction to judge this matter because there was nothing in the Act establishing a Court to decide on disputes about the implementation of Section 46.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lawyer for the appellants said that although there was nothing about empowering a Court under Section 46, because there had been problems with proceeding with the vote under that section it was right to give authority to this Court because there was no other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lawyer for the appellants said that the vote was invalid because it did not comply with the words of the Act, ‘The majority of those eligible to vote will determine whether liquor is to be sold to or whether the sale of liquor is to be prohibited ’ to the Maori of Horouta. The law does not say, ‘by the majority of people who voted.’ The defence contended that the Act was intended to be construed as ‘the majority of the people who voted’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The appellants withdrew their contentions about the Polling Stations at Wharekahika and Maraenui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The defence said that they would point out that there was a quorum of the Council at the meeting at which the motion asking the Governor to permit a vote was passed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paratene Ngata, Chairman of Horouta Council, one of the speakers, said that there were indeed two meetings of the Council at which the request was agreed. The first meeting was at Tuparoa<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span> There was a quorum of the Council present. The second meeting was at Te Kaha. The minutes of the Tuparoa meeting were read there including the request fo the Governor for a vote. There was also a quorum there. All the matters were agreed by the Te Kaha meeting. Many speakers supported what Paratene Ngata said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE JUDGEMENT OF THE COURT.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is the case that the vote was run under the provisions of Section 46 of the ‘Licensing Act (Liquor) 1910’. There is no provision there for setting up a Court to investigate a poll run under the authority of that section. Therefore these judges have no authority or power to decide this matter. But, if this Court had authority, it would have no authority to look into the rights and wrongs of the poll taken under the authority of Section 46.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If this Court has authority we think that the words of the Act are to be taken as meaning, ‘the majority of the people who voted’ will determine whether or not liquor may be sold to the Maori of Horouta.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If this Court has authority, we think that the arguments of the speakers for the defence are very strong when they say that there was a quorum when the motion was passed asking the Governor for a poll.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Therefore the request of the appellants is rejected.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Barton said that this Court had authority. Messrs McCarthy and Dwyer said that it did not have authority. But Mr Barton agreed with other words in Mr McCarthy’s judgement. Mr Dwyer supported the whole judgement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, because the Court lacked authority no fine could be imposed on the defeated party. Some canoes should look at how strongly Horouta fought its battle and, eventually, came to shore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some Pakeha are saying that Ngati Porou will go to Tokomaru to drink liquor. Yes, perhaps. Some may go for a short time. I don’t agree that the people of Akuaku, Whareponga, Hiruharama, Kariaka, Paumatomihi, Mangahanea, Tuparoa, Waitekaha, Te Raupo, Te Mahara, Kai-inanga, Reporua, Kakariki, Te Karaka, Whakawhitira, Waiomatatini, Te Horo, Tikitiki, Tikapa, Taumata-o-Tapuhi, Te Rerenga, Tauma, Rangitukia, Te Rahui, Te Pakihi, Harawera, Te Araroa,, Putua, Te Rimu, Pokata, Pumaruku, Nukutaharua, and Te Mamaku will all go to Tokomaru to drink liquor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And I do not believe that the people of Whangaparaoa, Oneaiti, Matapapa, Otutehapara, Peria, Te Kowhai, Te Maru-o-Hinemaka, Te Moari, Pataramoa, Moutara, Te Waikoukou, Pahaea, Wairuru, Motuaruhe, Maungaroa, Te Kaha, Whakaruru, Te Waha-o-te-rangi, Te Awanui, Pari-o-Kara, Otuwhare, <b>[4]</b> Omaio, Whitianga, Maraenui, Hawai and Torere will go by launch (motor boat) to drink liquor in Opotiki. If they perhaps <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">incur</span> small debts in Tokomaru or Opotiki what are they going to drink as they return? Most of Horouta is in between. The house of testing is at the ends.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">BRINGING TOGETHER THE MAORI PEOPLE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we look back to former days we see that Maori were not a single people. The name ‘Maori’ covered the many peoples. So Te Arawa was a distinct people, Ngatiawa was a distinct people, Ngapuhi was a distinct people, Ngati Porou was a distinct people, Ngatimaru was a distinct people, Ngati Kahungunu was a distinct people, as was Te Whakatohea, Waikato, Taranaki, and so on and so on. If we allow our minds to travel backwards over these peoples, we see that these divisions sprang from the canoes which brought our ancestors from Hawaiki. Takitimu was the canoe and we have the people it brought here. Te Arawa was the canoe and we have the people who came in it. And we have Tainui, Tokomaru, Kurahaupo and many other canoes and consequently many other peoples. If we in our minds travel way back to Hawaiki then we see that each canoe came from a different Hawaiki, that is, this canoe sailed from one island and that from another. Therefore we see that our ancestors have been separate peoples from Hawaiki days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We come to the time when the canoes sailed here from Hawaiki. Although our peoples were only separated by ranges of mountains they were different in their ideas, their customs, their works, their religion, their gods, their ways of cultivating food, their ways of catching birds or fish, their carving, their ways of anointing chiefs, their ways of speechmaking, and their ways of regarding people. The reason why it was like this was that Maori peoples were separated from many hundreds of years, thousands of years even. Therefore it came about that the lands of each people were under separate kings. When a very different people arrived, the Pakeha, they observed that the Maori were not one people from Te Rerenga-Wairua to Wellington. The peoples were engaged in continual warfare against each other. When the Pakeha and some Maori people came upon some Maori fighting they cunningly set about befriending those who were hostile to their enemies. They left it for the Maori to destroy themselves while they observed them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is clear to us that our great problem began with our origins and continues here in Aotearoa. While the skins of Maori are the same, our customs differ.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Beginning of Unification.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But the unifying of the Maori began before the arrival of the Pakeha. The main stimulus to unity at that time was their continual fighting. Although this was a cause of division it was also a cause of unity. The peoples discovered it in this fashion. At some stage peace was made and a woman was taken over to the other side. In this fashion a seed of unity was planted. Sometimes a chiefly woman was taken prisoner, she married the leader of the war party, and so grew a seed to bring those peoples close together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Afterwards the Christian faith arrived. It was planted in the Bay of Islands. The branches spread to all parts of Aotearoa and as far as Te Waipounamu. This was an important factor in bringing together as one the Maori.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Afterwards came the Treaty of Waitangi. This was the way with the authority which overcame Maori divisions. The important provision of the Treaty was that the people were one under a single leader, Queen Victoria, and her descendants after her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After this, there was set up a way of unifying the Maori people. Waikato set up a king and also called upon all the tribes to gather under the mana of the ‘King’, Potatau Te Wherowhero.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Around the same time there was a renewal of the form of the Association under the Treaty of Waitangi. A Maori Parliament was set up and given the name of The Association of the Maori People.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Subsequently the ‘Maori Council Act, 1900’ came to birth. The Act meant that the Government was unifying the Maori. The object of that unification was to further good practices under a single model. The country was divided up into twelve Council areas with the chosen people, the councillors, meeting once a year. The main work of these councils is to pass judgement on minor offences and to inspect marae.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One endeavour to bring Maori together in a unifying net is the group known as the ‘Maori Party of the New World’ [Young Maori Party]. The objective of this group is to bring together the educated people of each Maori tribe, bringing <b>[5]</b> them together in a single group to initiate major projects for the advancement of Maori in these days, to advance the work on the part of the Churches, to extend trade skills, to spread learning opportunities, and to increase bodily health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This association continues to grow today, and many good omens are to be seen as a result of the work of this Party. It has a broad remit and there are thoughtful people running it and forming the backbone. By and by we will say some final things about this group.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Situation in these Days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our ears hear news of wars: news of war parties spread from our elder brothers, the Pakeha. Besides conflicts in which blood is shed there are the disputes of labourers against their employers, the uprisings of the poor against the rich, and the murmurings of groups against the Government. We have seen the raising of the voices of workers against those who pay them and also against the Government. They gave made the Government shudder and be fearful. They can set up a Government and they can bring it down. Why do they have such power now? Why was it not the case before?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These questions are for us to really consider. This is the short answer. Formerly the workers did not come together as one. They were dispersed. Now, we have seen, there are more of them than of the wealthy Pakeha. The large numbers wield greater power than the large amount of money when it comes to supporting or overthrowing the Government. The Government on New Zealand is now in the hands of those people, the working people, as is that of Australia. The power of a united body with a single objective – an objective which cannot be shaken - is clear to us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Maori Lands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is an objective which will bring together some Pakeha groups. Their desire is to open up the Maori lands to them. But how are they to be made available? Are they to be leased or sold? Who are they to be available to? Maori or Pakeha? To my mind this is a fitting matter to bring together the Maori of every place. There is a group – the Farmers’ Union. Another group is the Federation of Labour – the Labourers’ Association. They both sing the same song: ‘Open up to us the fences of the Maori lands.’ Let the Maori of Waiapu, or Gisborne, or Te Wairoa, or Hawkes Bay, or some other part, set up a group to be a listening ear, a watching eye, a voice for the people, and also a defence against the blade of the weapon of the Pakeha which quivers over our heads. The Farmers’ Union and the Federation of Labour are usually at loggerheads, but in this matter they are united. How are they going to be parried by the Maori groups? They will be parried by the two-edged sword. Let them look at the Pakeha and look at the people. Looking at the Pakeha, their defence is like this: ‘It is said that the lands will not soon be made available, but it won’t be long.’ Looking at the Maori, it is like this: ‘Bring an end to your troubles and your disputes. Separate out the lands you are able to work. Lease to able Maori large areas. Lease to the Pakeha the more difficult areas.’ In this way only can we stuff the mouth of the taunting adversary, the Pakeha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This outcome will not be achieved soon. Be patient, it will happen eventually. But perhaps no-one will come forward to speak for and to organise these things if they are not wanted.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Horouta, greetings! You emerged as victor from your remarkable battle. You pioneered this new thing. You have been looked upon critically by violent Pakeha. You are saluted by upright people. None of your children will find themselves being judged. It will come about that there will be little wrongdoing. All will aim to do good and great works which will benefit most of the people, which will honour the name of Horouta, and which will bring glory to the name of God.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Tuesday, 13th February, the Bishop of Waiapu and his wife travel to Auckland. There they will board a ship which will take them to England. Three matters take the Bishop to England. The first is to have a change, a holiday. The second is to be honoured by his college there because he has been made a Bishop here; he will be given the degree given to people who are knowledgeable about spiritual things, the degree of DD. The third is that he is going to see his mother who is now very old. He says, ‘I am going to see my elderly lady; <b>[6]</b> perhaps the last time I shall see her in this world until I see her in the next world.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A Pakeha gentleman would not think of forgetting his parents. No matter how distant he is his heart still goes out to them. Although if his mother is with him his love surrounds her. But in the case of a Maori he does not behave in this fashion. He says, ‘What is a mother but someone who took away the children’s childhood days?’ The Pakeha instead looks back at the days of his childhood, how his mother cared for him, how she fed him with milk and clothed him, and how she blessed him in many other ways as she sought to bring him up to manhood. Hence the impulse within him to show his love, and hence the Bishop was urged to go to see his mother for the last time. This is a noble example for us Maori to follow and so to fulfill the commandment which says, ‘Honour your father and mother that your days may be long in the land which the Lord you God has given you.’ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 1st of this month the candidates for the Tai Rawhiti Electorate were announced. Three candidates were named – the Hon A T Ngata, Tiki Paaka, and Hori Pawa. On the very day of the announcement Tiki and Hori withdrew leaving only Apirana who will continue as member without a vote being taken. Tiki withdrew on realizing that during the next three years some difficult Maori issues will have to be addressed and, since Timi Kara and Apirana had been engaged with these, he thought that they should be allowed to complete their work. His word to Timi and Apirana is not to open up the sale of lands in the Te Kuiti area and in all Maori areas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hori Pawa’s difficulty was that he forgot a small matter, but although it was small it was important. His name was on the Pakeha roll, and so he was designated as a Pakeha and therefore not qualified to stand as a Maori member. He should first have entered his name on his own roll. Hori is a good speaker and easy to understand. If the Maori members remain in Parliament then perhaps our voices will be heard in the coming years. He spoke to Timi and Apirana about many matters and the two ministers gave satisfactory replies concerning the causes he is concerned about, in line with his own wishes. The major matter he raised with Apirana was the taking by the Government of some lands in the Rotorua district without the local people clearly understanding the reason. His query to Timi was about some land at Whakatane. The Government gave the Rangitaiki River-dredging Board authority to take that land; the Maori owners of the land were offered comparable compensation. When the Maori saw the Gazette entry about that matter there were only five days remaining for them to make objections. When Timi heard of this he wired the Office in Wellington to place an embargo on the matter. The discussions that day were very worthwhile.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Thursday, 4th January, a disaster came upon some of the coal miners of Harataunga (Thames). The disaster occurred at one of the pits known as Number 4. Seven men were working in that pit. Their names were T Guy, J Williams, J Crawley, J Adams, J James, A J Vercoe and M Mulcahy. Their work was going well and they had no idea that death was near. After they had been working for a long time they had become aware of the smell of gas and they knew that the gas was ever-increasing. The cry went out that the amount of gas was growing. One of them, J J Adams, was early aware of it. At around 11 o’clock he went to another part of the pit to fetch a tin can of water. In that place he became aware of the smell of the gas. He ran to his mates and called out to them to stop work because there was more and more gas. They ran for the mouth of the pit which was 500 feet from where they were working. One of them, Williams, was working alone in another part. They had not gone far when the amount of gas had greatly increased. Their lights went out. They went on in the dark, clutching in vain for the [?<i>hau</i>]. They were gasping because there was no air for them to breathe. Their spirits kept them striving to reach the mouth of the pit. They were not all equally strong at this stage, but those who still had some life in them kept encouraging the others; they raised up those who had fallen and they helped those without strength to go on. Presently four of them arrived at the mouth of the mine and were dragged into the light of day. By the time they emerged they were very near death; some did not recognise people. When the four climbed out the boss and the person guarding the mine mouth went down to search for the three who were missing. At that time the flow of gas had eased. Two hundred feet inside they came upon Crawley and Guy. Crawley was leaning against the side of the tunnel and raising up the head of his friend so that it was suspended high. The place where the gas was thickest was on the floor of the pit. The two of them were carried to the mouth of the pit. The boss then returned to search for Williams and before long he found him lying not far from the other two. When they got to the mouth of the pit the two of them were hauled up. When they arrived the doctor inspected them and found that Williams and Guy were dead. Crawley was still alive. The five who were alive were taken to the hospital. We have been informed that they are all well. Four of them have returned home. Only Crawley is still in hospital but he also is doing well. The two who died were the only married ones. They were both Pakeha from Hauraki. A great many people came to their funeral in sympathy for the way they had died. People praised Crawley for his strength and his stoutheartedness in helping his friend in the midst of death; even though his friend had died he did not abandon him. When the two of them were discovered he was leaning against the side of the tunnel with his friend’s head lying on his knees. He was trying to raise his friend into a place where there was less gas so that he could breathe. At that time his friend died and he was totally without strength himself. These are the kinds of disasters that strike those occupations and in them one sees the bravery and stoutheartedness of men. The source of the gas is not known.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Please publish this article. Pipi Number 162 says that Christ is the source of the authority of the ministers which descended from him to the Apostles and from the Apostles to those chosen to take their places and so on, down to the present day. Now, my friends, the authority of ministers did not descend from Christ and his Apostles. Their authority comes from one of the kings of England, Henry VIII, and his group which emerged from the Catholic Church. When the Apostles died they had not appointed any to take their places as Apostles before they died to continue their apostleship in the Church in the world. Then other parts of the Church became established and undertook the work of ministry in the Church and, in like manner, this is how things continued in the Church up to the present day. There one finds apostles and the Seventy, prophets, high priests, powers, workers of miracles, and others. Te Pipi also says that all the groups set up to do some work chose some from amongst them to do that work – a practice of all kinds of groups. Nor does the Church fall outside this practice; it was a practice laid down by Moses. Enough, my friend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the right explanation of the descent of the authority of your ministers. In the same way Henry VIII and his group gave his ministers authority. But Christ himself chose the Apostles. So! The Apostles are the head of the Church. If the head has died no part of the body can function, so how do Te Pipi’s ministers get their authority to minister?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A RESPONSE.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[To Paora Hopere. Friend, greetings. I write a few words in response to your strange article. I have seen those words of yours in the last Karere in December. So, since your words were directed at me – yes – it is appropriate that I set down here in response some words in my defence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I say that your words are strange [<i>pokanoa</i>] since I speak of what my Church believes about the authority of its ministers. If you wish to speak, then speak of the authority of those ministers and of the things you have observed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As to what you said about the authority of the ministers coming from Henry VIII, this is something new. You have written it down on paper for the first time. Henry did not appoint ministers; he did not have that power even though he was a king. It is an ancient practice of this Church, a practice passed down from the time of the Apostles, that only Bishops have the authority to ordain ministers. I am able to give you the succession of Bishops in this Church going back to the Apostles. At no point in that succession is there a break, as you assert when you say that it ends with Henry VIII.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I refer to your statement where you say, ‘By the continued presence of the Apostles in the Church in the world, other parts of the Church are established.’ This also is something new to me. Christ did not say anything like it, nor did the Apostles If Christ had the idea that it was to be by Apostles that other offices in the Church were to be set up then he may have reminded the Apostles lest they forgot or they might have been reminded by the Holy Spirit. Christ also said, ‘The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name … he will bring to your remembrance all the things I have told you.’ (John 14.26) The Apostles did not appoint Apostles as their replacements, nor did they say that those after them should do so. Enough.</span></div>

He has given instructions that he is to be carried from Ngarongotea to his home at Matamata, Hokianga. People are always coming to see him. We received this account in the second week of January. God will take care of him and give him the living water. He is the great minister of the Almighty to Ngapuhi here, the only one. May your blessing descend upon your angel.

It is right that they knuckle down and recognize that it is all over. The cat that catches rats, if it burns its whiskers at the fire will not go near the burning fire again. It is remarkable to see the people who voted for those candidates. Huirua Tito was last with 25 votes; Reihana Netana was ahead with 26; but ahead of them was my relative through two different lines, W T Kowhai, with 42. This person is a <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">direct</span> descendant of the cannibal, Hongi <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">H</span>ika. I know his whole genealogy, but so what? There was Herepete, Kakai, Riapo, Reihana Netana, and Eru Ihaka – these are all people who have worked in vain to win this seat without success. ‘Not from Little Waitara as far as Great Waitara.’ Iehu, Hemi Te Paa, Wiri Nehua, W T Kowhai and Huirua Tito are all new men. However they did not succeed and will not, rather they may be like the people above.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE VICTORY OF THE GOVERNMENT.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the election of members of Parliament for the Dominion of New Zealand last year (1911), it was found that more members supporting the ideas of the Opposition than Government members had been elected. Therefore it was thought right that Mr Ward and his Party agree <b>[11]</b> to step down from Government and, if he and his Party did not consent, Parliament would meet and pass a motion removing Mr Ward and his party from Government. Because Mr Ward would not agree to step down from Government, Parliament met in Wellington on 14th February, 1912. At the opening of Parliament the Governor, Islington, spoke outlining his Ministers’ proposals for legislation this year. When the Governor finished his speech, Massey, the Leader of the Opposition, stood to move an amendment to the response to the Governor’s speech. This was the amendment. ‘That this sentence be added to the response to the Governor’s speech. That this House has no confidence in the Government given the speech that it had placed in the mouth of the Governor.’ With the presentation of that motion the flame was lit and burned on for a whole two weeks, with the Government attacking the Opposition and the Opposition the Government. The Government strove to get the majority of members to vote against Massey’s motion, while the Opposition strove to get the majority of members on their side. Presently, after a time and a struggle, the Government managed to win over some of the members who were thought in previous months to be opponents of the Government. As a result the Opposition charged those members with running away to the Government. The Opposition made their accusations and the Government proceeded to make their case to other members to come over to them. Eventually when the Government <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">was shown</span> to be mocking people, the Opposition was aroused, and some of their people went over to the Government. At last, in the middle of the night of 27th February, 1912, the motion was put and when the count was made, both sides were equal – the Government 39 and the Opposition 39. The casting vote of the Speaker of the House defeated the Opposition and the Government remained in office. It is said that this was the first time that this state of affairs had been seen in the New Zealand Parliament, from former times to the present. This was the division of the House:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">David says, ‘Our years pass away like a story that is told.’ (Psalm 90.9)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my sleep I saw an Elder sitting beside his table. He had a pen in his hand and an account book before him. Also on the table was a glass containing sand; the glass with sand was an hour-glass. The sand in the glass was flowing so that the sand at the bottom increased while that left behind decreased. I watched for a long time before calling our, ‘Sir, what are you doing?’ Then he said to me, ‘I am God’s Recorder. The good works are set down on one side of my book and the bad on the other.’ Then I said to him, ‘What is the meaning of the sand flowing down?’</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">He answered, ‘There are 365 grains of sand in this glass. Very few of them are left behind. When they have all gone I shall close my book and place it before our heavenly Father. When the sand has all passed through I shall turn the glass over and the 365 grains will begin to flow again, and I shall also open a new book to contain the works of mankind.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">People, the 365 grains of the hour-glass have almost gone. As each grain flows, the Elder takes his pen and records the good and the bad, the works for God and the works for the devil. Now then, take a look at your books and see how your account stands. ‘Our years pass away.’ We have got older. A long time has passed, a short time lies before. Most of the sand is now on the bottom. There is little space left. What are we to do? Do works that show our penitence. We are not able to make reparations from what is written in the Elder’s book. ‘The wages of sin is death.’ [Romans 6.23] But there is one way for us to escape. It is the blood of Christ that wipes away all our sins. There is one way in which we can obtain this blessing, the way pointed out in the Catechism, namely, (1) a penitent heart, (2) a living faith, and (3) a loving heart which fulfills the laws of God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">January is upon us. How did this month come to be called January? Janus was a god of the people of Rome. This was the god who looked after the highways, the roads. This god had two faces. One face looked backwards and the other forwards. January looks back to the year 1911, the good things and the bad things, and forwards to the new year, 1912.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">People, let us look back at what we did, what we suffered, our weaknesses, our blunders. May we by looking back be given a penitent heart so that we may step out on the right path in 1912. Let us be faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ. May he help us and bless us and strengthen us to carry out the plans by which his kingdom will grow in 1912.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Bishop of Waiapu is very grateful for the warm welcome given by the hapu of Ngati Tuwharetoa to the things being done by the Church of England amongst them at this time. On 30th November the Bishop visited Tokaanu. This is the town in the middle of the island where the three dioceses meet – Auckland, Waiapu and Wellington.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tokaanu is the home of the Rev W Waaka, who leads the work of the Church in the whole Taupo area. The Rev P Peneti, the minister who superintends the work in that area, was also there. At 7 o’clock the Bishop consecrated the Tokaanu church. Although the church had already been opened, now the Maori work inside has been completed. The Bishop was astonished at this building. He spoke words of praise and shared his thought that this would be a pattern for subsequent Maori buildings, with its interior decorated with Maori craftwork. All the rafters are decorated with ancestral Maori designs. The panels of the walls are woven with flax and kiekie making this a wonderful church to see.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After this service there was a service of Confirmation. Nearly eighteen people were confirmed. Following the services there was the commissioning of four lay-readers for Tokaanu, Waitetoko, Opouorongo, and Rotorua.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the Friday a meeting was held at the church. The main subjects dealt with were the site for erecting a Vicarage, and the request for two ministers for Taupo because Te Waaka has to cover a huge area. The first matter is to be raised at the Christmas Hui and the second was left for the Bishop to consider.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After dinner the party travelled by steamship to Taupo. In the morning there was a Pakeha service. On the Saturday the Maori of Waitahanui, Waipahihi and Taupo gathered at the Court House. Sixteen people were confirmed and four were commissioned as lay-readers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the evening the party visited Oruanui where there was a marriage celebration. After the celebration there was a service. People were very grateful for the Bishop’s address.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the morning of the Sunday a service of Confirmation took place at Wharekura. Eighteen people were confirmed and one lay-reader was commissioned. At the conclusion of the service the Bishop, the Clergy and the Lay-readers came out in their robes and went to lay the corner-stone for the church that is being built at Oruanui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After this the Bishop and his clergy went to Makoi. There was a large service there for both peoples, Maori and Pakeha. Nearly 100 people assembled. After the Pakeha service, fourteen Maori were confirmed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the middle of the night the Bishop and Peneti returned to Oruanui and on the Monday they reached Rotorua. There was a Pakeha Confirmation in Rotorua in the evening.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This shows the growth of the work of our Lord in those parts of our island. To God be the praise for pouring our his saving Spirit on the hapu of Ngati Tuwharetoa. Friends, keep your hands to the plough and don’t turn back. Then we shall hear of your good work in the Church. Hold fast, be firm, then you shall be likened to the saying, ‘the first shall be last and the last first.’ [Mark 10.31]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Chapter VIII</b> - The Clergy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the last two editions of our paper we pointed out the basis of the authority of the clergy and the kinds of ministers. Now we must say something about the blessings that come to those ordained as clergy. The heading of this part of the articles is: ‘Are there peculiar blessings that come to those ordained as ministers in the Church?’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many Christian people think that those ordained as clergy do not receive any special blessing. They think that all that happens when someone is ordained as a minister is that he is given authority to do the work of a minister among the people. The people who think this are those who have separated themselves from the mother Church. Those who hold this opinion do not appreciate the relationship of Christ to his Church. The Church is the Body of Christ. Since it is a body part of it receives a blessing from Christ. We know that at the time of Confirmation each person in the Church is given a blessing to strengthen them to fulfill the duties to which they are called. Since it is the case that all those who are confirmed receive a blessing, it is also the case that the ministers of the Church receive a blessing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However it is not simply by reasoning in this way that we have come to know that those ordained as ministers receive a blessing. It is something pointed out to us in the Bible. Paul says to the Elders of Ephesus, ‘Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers [bishops].’ (Acts 20.28 AV) He also says to Timothy, ‘Therefore I remind y0u to stir up the fire, the gift God has given you, that is within you through the laying on of my hands.’ (2 Timothy 1.6) He also says, ‘Do not neglect that which is within you through prophecy with the laying on of hands by the elders.’ (1 Timothy 4.14)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the teaching of the Church after the Apostles. Ignatius gave the same instruction to Polycarp. In the Canons of Hippolytus, an ancient book, there is a prayer for those being ordained as Bishops, as Priests and as Deacons. That prayer asks the Father to give the Holy Spirit to those being set apart for these offices. From that time and right up to the present day the prayers used for the ordination of clergy are like that, that is, that God will give his Holy Spirit to those being set apart. And we also believe that those people receive the Holy Spirit at the time of their ordination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We come to the final part of our article about the work of the minister. ‘What is the main work of a minister in the Church?’ When we are thinking about this section of our article is very good that we appreciate that it is about the work of the minister in the Church, not outside. He is related to the Church as the hand is related to the body. The Church says that his ministry descends from Christ, and from the Apostles, and through the people they set apart to take their places. It is good that we hold on to this teaching when we consider the work of the minister.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If we hold on to this teaching we find that the minister is the spokesperson for the Christian group; he is also the one who stands in the place of Christ. These are the main tasks of the minister. These two works cannot be separated although at one time he will be occupied with one aspect and another time with the other. Most of the time he will be doing both these things. So one sees him in his office of spokesman for the people when he offers to God the service of praise, the prayers and the Holy Communion. His standing in the place of Christ is seen when he works at seeking the lost, guiding those who have done wrong, warning the recalcitrant, and encouraging the faithful. He baptizes, blesses, forgives sins, and also sanctifies people in the name of the Lord Jesus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We see that the work of these three orders of ministry is not the same. In the New Testament there is no clear teaching about the work of each order but soon after the Apostles one sees clearly the work of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. We have said that there is no clear teaching about the work of each, but since the practices were followed by the Church soon after the Apostles we are justified in saying that this custom was laid down by the Apostles. And although we have said above that the main work of ministry is to represent Christ to the congregation and the congregation to God, it is clear that from early days some aspects of the work were allocated to one order of them only. <b>[4]</b> This is the view taken by [<i>Akurini - </i>?Alcuin] the Great when he said, ‘The view taken by the Church at large, though not set down by a large synod, may appropriately be called a teaching given by the Apostles.’ On this view we may say that the Bishops alone have the authority to ordain a person to a ministry in the Church. Timothy and Titus were made Bishops by the Apostles and they in turn consecrated others. So descended from within them the power of the bishops in the Church to appoint a person to a holy office in the Church. The New Testament does not show that such authority was given to the Priests, the Elders. Nor does it show that Deacons have the power to celebrate the Lord’s Supper or to do other things that are not appropriate for them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, Greetings. My mind has been going over some of the things to be dealt with by our Party when we meet at Nuhaka in the coming March.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If a person want to be a soldier of the King there are some words he must swear to asserting that he will be faithful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If a person joins up as a servant of Christ he is baptized and signed ‘with the sign of the Cross, in token that hereafter he shall not be ashamed to confess the faith of Christ crucified, and manfully to fight under his banner<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a</span>gainst sin, the world, and the devil; and to continue Christ’s faithful soldier and servant unto his life’s end.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is the sign, the oath, the agreement by which a person becomes a member of the Party of the New World? Perhaps he pays his 2/6 and that’s that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think it right that there should be a clear statement of aims to which a person commits himself when he enters this project. As I see it our agenda is very vague. From my perspective one of the things about which we are weak is that there is no clear ‘bullseye’ at which to aim our guns. We work distractedly without a clear objective to unite us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some of us are fighting at this time to prevent the sale of this thing, liquor, to Maori. Some of our Party have stopped and have turned to other members of the Party.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I believe it would be right to draw up clear objectives so that a person may know the things he is committed to supporting should he become a member of the Party of the New World. Let that person swear and sign his name to show that he is in agreement with the objectives of the Party, and let him be given a copy of these objectives as a reminder of the ‘Pledge’ of the Party of the New World. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Better that we have ten people who are committed to our ‘Pledge’ than one hundred who work to no purpose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is right that we should draw up rules and regulations for how our Hui should be run. Who is entitled to vote on matters raise – the members of the Party or all the members of the gathering? The members who attended the Hui at Te Hauke know the trouble that arose at that Hui over a serious matter that was thoroughly dealt with and about which the members were in agreement. But when it was put to the meeting to vote on, the matter was defeated by the many who opposed it. Our important insights were defeated by people who did not really understand the nature of that business. How did this happen? Because there are no regulations.</span></div>

The two were arrested in America. Their difficulties were investigated and it was found that they were thieves. The man had committed two crimes and the woman, one. The punishment for the man was five years in prison and four years in a men’s reformatory so that he will not get into mischief. The woman was sentenced to two years in prison and two years in the reformatory.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 5th December Lady Timi Kara (Heni Materoa) invited her Pakeha and Maori friends to her home. From around 3 o’clock in the afternoon a large number of people gathered at Lady Carroll’s home. William Pettie, the Mayor of the town, attended the gathering. At the beginning of the hui Lady Carroll stood to welcome her guests. She did not speak for long but, although <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">she spoke</span> briefl<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">y,</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">her words were to the point</span>. She said, ‘My Pakeha friends, greetings. I am delighted that you have come here. I invited you to come here because I want to give you a gift in recognition of the love you have shown to James in returning him to Parliament unopposed. You honoured him before and now you have honoured him even more again. It is the first time I have seen anything like this, a man being sent to Parliament without anyone opposing him. James was chosen by the King for an honour, and I think the honour you have shown him is as great. I have thought to make a gift to you for your kindness to my husband. This is what I have decided upon. My brothers, Wetini Rikirangi and Eruera Te Kura, have given an acre of land as the site for a crèche for impoverished children, and I want to add a further acre alongside theirs for that building. I give this land in accordance with the custom of Maori chiefs, that is, without documents or signatures. This is my gift to you for your goodness to my husband.’ So ended the speech of Te Huinga. Afterwards Eruera Te Kura stood to confirm that gift given by him and Te Wetini for that cause on the coronation day of the King. Hone Paerata and Rawiri Karaha also stood to speak to the Pakeha. William Pettie, the town’s Mayor, spoke on behalf of the Pakeha expressing appreciation to her and her brothers for their valued gift given for this good work. The Mayor also wished Sir James and Lady Carroll long life. Since it was evening the people went home with hearts full of gratitude for the chiefly gift of Te Huinga and her brothers and stomachs full of the good foods eaten on the marae.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My family in the Lord, greetings. Since the Governor of this country has given you the power to vote on whether to prohibit or to continue the sale of liquor to you in your areas, and since, also, many Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them authority to proceed with this in their areas, I want to point out to you the great benefits which could come to you through this vote.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I ask you to think carefully about this ‘food’, liquor. Does it tend to ennoble or to degrade us, has it brought blessings or curses in times past, and has it been a help or a hindrance to you as you seek to travel the way of life which stretches out before you?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We know very well the afflictions suffered by the native races of the world when they have adopted the bad practices of the Pakeha. Is it your wish that your race should disappear? Is it your wish to be like the lowest of the Pakeha? Is it your wish that all your lands are taken so that you live in poverty? You say, No! But if you allow liquor to turn your minds, to weaken your hearts and bodies, and to kill your spirits, then that is the way to destroy the race. Because you will lose the will and the strength which would enable you to climb above the level of the beasts so that you can stand together with the strong of the Pakeha. From past times you have been a noble people but before long you may lose that noble status and be made slaves of liquor. If you wish to remain a noble people do not descend to the calling of the beasts but use your strength to do away with this enemy which feeds you with death. You know that alcohol is your great enemy; many are under his power; some are still alive in this world while some have died the deaths of the low-born. You know very well that the faith is a powerful enemy of liquor. It is there to guard you when you have difficulty in protecting yourselves, so that you will not eat and drink and give in to adulterous thoughts: these are the things you </span></div>

A dinner was held for the people of Te Rau College at the College on December 1st to honour our Member, Apirana Ngata. Many people were invited to that dinner but some were unable to attend because of difficulties. At the time arranged for the dinner Ngata arrived with his secretary. After dinner, Mr Chatterton, the teacher at Te Rau, stood to welcome Apirana and his secretary and spoke many words of appreciation. When Mr Chatterton finished his speech, Ngata stood. Because he was eager to move on to fulfill other engagements he did not wait for others to greet him. When he spoke he covered many matters arising from his work in Parliament. In his speech he spoke for those who wish to prohibit the sale of liquor to Maori, that is, for his tribe of Ngati Porou who are united in their desire to outlaw alcohol throughout their region. He spoke at length explaining to them the evils resulting from that ‘food’. ‘However, I am very sad because I have heard that some of the leading young people of Te Arawa are intent on overturning the vote against alcohol in the Te Arawa Council District. etc.’ </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the large Hui of the Maori People in Wellington in 1908, a committee was set up to carry a petition from the Maori People to the Prime Minister. Nearly 50 people stood before the Prime Minister. These are the opening words of that petition: ‘Great affliction has come upon us Maori through this ‘food’, liquor, increasing the weakness of our already weak people. We are rapidly wasting our possessions, the progress in the growth of the practice of farming is being hindered, there are problems with the teaching in the schools, the faith is under attack, and parents and children are suffering physically.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sections 2 and 3 of the Petition pointed out the laws that have been enacted: (a) The prohibition of the sale of liquor in the King Country, (b) The protection of Maori women against being provided with liquor. Section 4 said, ‘One large area overlooked by the law is that we Maori have not been given power to vote on the licensing of public houses. Consequently what did not develop amongst us Maori people, those who wanted to do away with liquor, was the idea of using our influence, when voting was taking place, in order to make people think and to teach our people to discern the evils and afflictions that come upon them because of that ‘food’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Section 6 said, ‘What we ask is that a law be made that no-one may sell liquor to the Maori People or to the half-castes living in Maori villages amongst the Maori, and if this is not possible, the law should give us the power to vote in Maori electorates or in Maori Council Districts, on whether or not to permit the sale of liquor in those areas to Maori.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1908 this petition was taken into the presence of the Prime Minister. In 1911 the request received approval. You, the Maori People, were given the power to vote this year on whether liquor should be sold to Maori or such sales should be forbidden. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This puts a new weapon into your hands. What are you going to do about it? People, be careful. Don’t just think about what you want, but think of the growing children, lest they be led by liquor to stray into paths leading to evil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It is those on the side of Prohibition who have honoured you, who have taken up this weapon. And now they are looking to see how you take up their weapon. If you rightly take this up then your status will be permanently enhanced; you and the Pakeha will be the same. If you grasp your <i>meremere</i> wrongly, who is going to give you a <i>taiaha</i>?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for the women, the law absolutely prevents the sale of liquor to them. What harm has come to them because of this provision? No harm but health. So that law which has been laid down for the women, we are asking to be extended to us men. Let us not be like moths flying into the fire. People, do not be afraid of them intimidating you but let us be united as Ngati Porou is united.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These four lawyers have pointed out that all the hotels will be open to us Maori if we wish to eat and sleep in those buildings. Strong drink is the only thing that is forbidden. Those lawyers are Messrs DeLautour, Barker, Stock and Matthews of Gisborne. Besides them there is the Rotorua Judge and other elucidations from the legal side. People, if the side which wants to allow liquor can show that Maori will be banned from hotels if liquor is prohibited by the vote, we who are for prohibition will set the matter right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This does not mean that we will be turned into dogs. Our women, have been stopped from purchasing liquor, and what man is prepared to say that they have been turned into dogs? If we are assaulted by the hotels, the law is in our hands. So do not listen to other stories. They are just stories told by the anti-prohibitionists to scare you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A person who fears God and loves people will vote to stop the provision of liquor to the Maori People. We have heard that some people have been paid by the hotel owners to support the continuation of the sale of liquor. Enough. This is to point out that we, those on the prohibition side, are acting out of a fear of God and a love for people. Therefore, it is right that your listen to the descendants of the Te Arawa canoe.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings! Greetings! [This is written] because of all our misfortunes including this latest trouble that has been made for us Maori, namely, the vote to put an end to drinking. The problems are explained below.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) We are critical of there being different standards for Pakeha and Maori when it comes to the purchase of liquor. Because it separates the Maori People and the Pakeha people, insofar as it sets up laws which differentiate between how Maori and Pakeha are treated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(2) This procedure violates the principles for which we have fought in our search for status, namely, that there should be the same law and the same application for the two peoples.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(3) Maori young people are very good at sports and give Maori a good name through such activities. If this practice is authorized, they will not be able to go to the pleasurable gathering associated with such sports. They will be afraid to go along with their Pakeha friends to such functions with their friends in the club.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(4) This practice will raise a barrier between the two peoples. If it is authorized we will be like the Black peoples of Australia, America, and Africa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(5) Should a Maori man or woman become ill it will not be possible to fetch liquor as a medication for that sick person without getting a certificate from the doctor. By the time the certificate arrives the sick person will have died.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(6) One problem with this proposal is the illegal sale of liquor to Maori so that the Maori suffer. Poison liquor can still be sold to Maori.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(7) In the previous vote on the prohibition of liquor the prohibitionists were badly defeated in all parts of New Zealand. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(8) This is a very bad thing for us Maori people because we would no longer be equal with the Pakeha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(9) Should the sale of liquor be defeated in the Horouta Area but be allowed in the Takitimu Area, the Maori of Takitimu will be able to get liquor for themselves in the hotels of Takitimu while the Maori of Horouta will be prevented from drinking liquor in their district, however they would be able to go to Tokomaru to drink, and by this and other such practices they would disregard the law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(10) Sir Timi Kara spoke at his hui held at Waerenga-a-hika and Patutahi and said that no benefit would come from the Removal of Alcohol Licensing because worse things would result.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(11) The Maori of some other Marae Council areas have not agreed to a vote on the prohibition of liquor, and if you wish to vote let us vote together with the Pakeha to do away with the source of liquor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(12) The Hon Apirana Ngata said at the Gisborne hui that the day had dawned when Maori and Pakeha should vote together and the two peoples should be on a single Roll, Maori and Pakeha should be equal, ‘and then perhaps I will stand as a member for both Maori and Pakeha.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(13) If this vote on the prohibition of liquor is held and Maori are prevented from purchasing liquor and subsequently they see that this is a bad thing, they will not be able to return to a better way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(14) When you vote for this objective and it is passed, you will be prevented for the rest of your life from drinking alcohol because there is no provision in the Act saying that another vote may open up again the possibility of drinking alcohol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(15) The question for you when you go in to vote is this: are you voting to give liquor to the Maori of this area?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(16) One wrong thing about this prohibition of liquor is that Pakeha may demand that Maori not be allowed into hotels to sleep, and hotel owners may be summonsed if they do not provide beds for Maori, a prescription that could lead to trouble for Maori because of the prohibition of liquor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The school of Te Rau Kahikatea has broken up and each person has returned to his own home. As we look at the work done, this has been an excellent year for the school, as regards Maori achievements and Pakeha achievements. Some of the men, the older students, who did not have the contemporary understanding that their younger brothers had, were educated on the Maori side. They were examined at the end of the year and showed the huge amount of work they had done during the year. Seven of the younger students who had understanding were prepared for the Pakeha examinations. Six sat the examinations; one was ill. When the results arrived it was found that all six had passed. Only in one other year have we had a similar result for the year’s work when all who took the Pakeha syllabus passed as did all who took the Maori syllabus. Fifteen men came to the school this year. Of these, six were from Ngapuhi, five from Te Arawa, two from Tuhoe, one from Ngati Porou and one from Ngati Whatua. On the [?0th] day of this month, Tamati Katene of Ngapuhi was ordained as Deacon. He was ordained by the Bishop of Wellington at Otaki and is settled at Putiki-wharanui, Whanganui, under Mr Williams the Son [Arthur Williams]. Also, on 17th day of this month some of the men of the school were ordained as Deacons or Priests. Rewi will serve at Rotorua under Rev P Peneti; Manihera at Whakatane under Peni Hakiwai; and P<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">i</span>n<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">e</span> will return to his work at Te Rau Kahikatea. In the middle of the year the Rev Mutu Kapa of Waikato and the Rev Pene Topi of Paihia came for the Priests' course. During September the two of them were ordained as Priests by the Bishop of Auckland. They were ordained in Taranaki. This year there was a great deal of sickness amongst the people of the school. Three went to hospital, one of them a child. The child and two others had fever and one a sickness [?<i>kai kiri</i> sic - ?skin disease; ?<i>kaiakiri</i> – flesh wound]. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 7th December the Pakeha voted on Alcohol and also for members of Parliament. There were two parts to the Liquor Poll: whether to prohibit or allow the sale of liquor in the electorates, and whether to prohibit or allow the sale of liquor in the whole of New Zealand. The poll dealing with the whole of New Zealand was something new; this year was the first. It was understood that this poll would not succeed as it was something new and people had not carefully considered the good and bad issues. The owners of the hotels were aware of the people’s situation and therefore as the poll drew near they began to speak to the people about the bad effects of prohibiting liquor in the electorates but particularly of prohibiting it throughout New Zealand. When the vote was taken it became apparent that they had been successful: not a single electorate prohibited liquor. The thoughts of people focused on the large poll and not on the smaller poll. The outcome is that it has not been prohibited in a single electorate or in the larger national poll. This means that the hotel owners have succeeded and the prohibitionists have failed. However, if one looks at the total number of people in New Zealand who voted for prohibition, one sees that the strength of the prohibitionists has not diminished, rather it has continued to increase. The number of people who voted for allowing the sale of liquor throughout New Zealand was 189,971; those who wanted to prohibit it numbered 254,866. [A 60% vote was required for success.] The number wanting the defeat of prohibition was 272,302. The extra votes needed to achieve prohibition were 17,436. The majority of those favouring prohibition over those wanting liquor was 64,895. It is a remarkable thing that most of the people of New Zealand wanted to do away with liquor. All the newspapers now, even those that advocate for liquor, are saying that New Zealand will go dry at the next election. In the polls in 1908, six of the electorates voted to do away with liquor, in this poll there was not one. Those places which prohibited it have not yet returned to selling liquor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Thursday, 14th of this month, Pererika Akuhata Peneti and Arihia Rangioua, Mokonuiarangi, were married at Te Rau College Chapel. The wedding was a beautiful occasion when not an unhappy word was spoken. The bride is a direct descendant of Te Pokiha, a scion of the high chiefly line of Te Arawa. Had this been at their own home, what might Te Arawa have done for their grandchild? Some of the chiefs of Gisborne came to celebrate this day with the newly-married couple. The Rev F W Chatterton officiated at the marriage and Pine Tamahori was his Best Man. Hemana Pokiha gave away his daughter. After the wedding the people went to one of the large rooms at Te Rau for the wedding breakfast. During the feast many people stood to congratulate the newly-married couple and Hemana too. Everything to do with the wedding went well. In the evening the newly-married couple set out to travel overland to Rotorua. Their party went by way of Te Wairoa to Petane and made their way to Taupo. They spent the first night at Te Arai and stayed one night at Nuhaka. On the Saturday morning Hemana returned by steamship to Auckland.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Each day Election Day draws nearer when we will make known our idea as to who should be our spokesm<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">e</span>n in Parliament, and also in some districts some will be declaring their minds as to whether to permit the drinking of alcohol or not. It has been revealed now that four of our Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them the chance to vote. Of these, three are from the Tai Rawhiti and one from the Tai Tokerau: they are Takitimu, Horouta, Te Arawa, and Te Wairoa.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are surprised that Tai Tokerau has not wholeheartedly taken this opportunity, because this is the area of New Zealand that was strongly in favour of embracing the principle contained in the 1908 law. That was the year in which all parts signed a petition to the Government asking for the power to vote on liquor to be given to the Maori. That petition set down all the liquor laws relating to the Maori and pointed out the weakness of those laws. When those matters had been set out, then the petition said:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘This is our prayer, that a law be made making it illegal to sell liquor to Maori or to half-castes living in Maori communities amongst Maori, and, if this is not possible, to give us power to vote within the Maori electorates or within the Maori Council areas on whether liquor may or may not be sold in those areas to Maori.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tai Tokerau enthusiastically signed that petition and it was the only place that had people going around with the petition and getting signatures. The Act that has been given to us this year embodies that petition of 1908. But since the embodiment of that petition the heart of Tai Tokerau has gone cold. Many people have been making this act stink in the noses of the majority; in no way is this law rotten. Our friend, the Tawhirimatea Times, is a paper that is doing this. It does not appreciate the significance of this law. It says that there is nothing good about this law and that it will rather increase Maori entanglement with wrongdoing and their getting a bad name. This is a very misleading emotional statement about things that have not been clearly understood. Lawyers have stated that this law does not turn Maori into criminals, but those who provide liquor to Maori. This law does not prevent the drinking of alcohol. A person is still able to sleep and to eat in hotels. The benefits to Maori are great while its bad effects are insignificant; it is only people who present them as great.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is the case that it is a very good thing that we are given the same power as that enjoyed by the Pakeha. But we say that this is an initial thing that has been given us by the Government and we should therefore implement it. If we do not use it then the House will think that the people do not like this law and it will not be easy to get from them something better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our word to the Tai Rawhiti is to do your best to seek understanding and what is right. You were the first to seek the way of learning; your warriors stand in the </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">place where laws are made for the whole country. You were the first to clear the way for farming and your fame has reached all extremities of the Dominion. Now, the good way in which you manage this vote on liquor will gain you a crown over and above your farming achievements; there it will be to gratify the eyes of those who look. The time when you do away with liquor will also be the time when you stop up the pit into which the fruits of farming disappear for the benefit of others, namely, the Pakeha. Let the people of the Tai Rawhiti think about this – the old women, the old men, the women. You are the people who have not been troubled by people’s stories, <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">you are those who live at the boundaries and sit in the place of honour,</span> you are those in whose hands is the health of the people. Make a stand on the voting day, have the one idea, speak with the one voice, and bring an end to the drinking of liquor. Be men, be strong! Do not be troubled by the jeers of people who would beguile you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our final word is to those half-castes on the Pakeha roll. Do all in your power to cut off the source of this ‘food’. You have been given the power to cut it off at the source, so be strong. Do not think only of yourselves but of your Maori brothers and sisters who do not have that power, so that this evil thing can be cut off at its source. Be strong and don’t be afraid. May God bless our good work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What benefits and fruits have resulted from the provisions of the Council Act 1900 and its amendments, the purpose of which was to hand over part of the administration of areas to the King’s servants, the Maori People living in this Dominion? Your committee has looked into this and it is evident to all that the Maori People have been much blessed by the provisions of the Law and that the Councils and their committees are working hard at using the powers given them by the Law. The evidence is as follows:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. All Maori whare in pa and villages have been done away with and all houses are now built of timber. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. The pa and villages and marae of those places together with the toilets have all been improved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. The drinking water of pa and villages has been improved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4. Livestock is prevented from coming onto marae. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5. Water used in making rotted corn close to pa and villages has been safely fenced off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6. Liquor has been banned from pa and villages and those who transgress this law are always punished. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7. Betting on card games has been forbidden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8. The activities of tohunga have been curtailed and former practices have been forbidden. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9. Bad practices at tangihanga are not as common as before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10. Maori disputes and minor offences have decreased in number because marae committees and the Council have made strong efforts to suppress them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">11. Burials and all procedures relating to the dead are being well-policed by the Councils. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">12. The registration of Maori dogs is proceeding well under the registration law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Such things provide strong evidence of the good that has come under the provisions of the law given to the Maori People. We would also add:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">13. The number of Maori has climbed from what it was before. This is strong evidence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">14. The Maori schools are improving and pupil numbers are increasing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> 15. More and more Maori are involved in farming in all its aspects. This began in the days of the Maori Councils Act and the meetings of group advocating farming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Therefore, on the basis of this evidence your committee can confidently tell the General Meeting of the Councils to urge the Honourable Timi Kara, Minister of Maori Affairs: “To guard well the Maori Councils Act 1900 and its amendments to protect the well-being of the Maori People of New Zealand, and that he should also support proposals to strengthen it.”’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many subjects relating to the work of the Councils were dealt with in this meeting. An important subject was the authority of the Marae Committee. The issue was the failure of Marae Committees to investigate troubles which they were permitted to deal with under the powers given them. The meeting had to decide whether the Council was able to deal with such problems. The outcome of </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">that issue was a motion from Hamiora Hei, Chairman of the Takitimu Council, to the Crown Solicitor asking him to clarify the situation. This was the motion:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘May a Maori Council delegate to a Marae Committee its powers under Section 5 of the Maori Council Act Amendment Act 1903, or is that Council able to set up a tribunal to address the breach of a bye-law on that marae if that Marae Committee does not deal with that matter? Secondly, may a person who is not a member of the Marae Committee bring an action on the breach of a bye-law to do with one of the marae when the Marae Committee has not dealt with that transgression?'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The answer of the Crown Solicitor was: ‘In my opinion, under Section 5 of the Maori Council Act 1903, if a Council has delegated its authority to a Marae Committee it is not then able to deliberate on or give judgement if there has been an infringement of one of the bye-laws if its power to administer those bye-laws has been handed over to the Marae Committee. The Council is able to give judgement and to make enquiries as to whether a bye-law has been infringed and is able to set a fine for that breach, or it is able to delegate those powers to the Marae Committee, but the Council and the Committee are not both able to use those powers on the same occasion. The law was not designed to set up two authorities to deal with matters if a bye-law is infringed. The Council is able, whenever it wishes, to withdraw its delegation of authority, whether that delegation applied to all or just one of its bye-laws, that is, if it wishes to adjudicate on or investigate a breach of those bye-laws or that bye-law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If through idleness or forgetfulness o<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r</span> if the Committee fails to take action on the breach of a bye-law then a person is free to bring the matter to the attention of the Maori Council. If the Council considers that it is a matter it should deal with then it should first withdraw the permission given to the Committee, then it can set about judging and enquiring into that matter.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Three other major matters were placed before the meeting by the Honourable A T Ngata for discussion and so that the thoughts of the meeting on those matters could be known.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>First, the Registration of Births and Deaths.</i> He had two questions on this subject. (a) Which is better, that the Council Registrars continue their ways of registration under their regulations, or that they follow the registration practices of the Pakeha? (b) Are most Maori happy to fulfill their duty to register and should those who neglect to register be fined? Tahua Watihana (Arapawa Council) laid before the meeting a motion on this matter. This was his motion: ‘That this meeting thinks that the power to register births and deaths should be removed from the Councils. Registration should be carried out. It should be done according to the Pakeha practice, and fines should be imposed on those who neglect to register within the prescribed time.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Secondly, The Alcohol Vote.</i> The Minister had three questions on this subject. (a) Is it a good thing to retain the present practice whereby each separate Council may request a vote? (b) Is it a good thing to vote in each Maori Council district at the same time as members of Parliament are being elected? When should this happen? (c) Who should be responsible for the expenses of the vote?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The response of the meeting was expressed in a motion. Rere Neketini (Raukawa) put forward the motion. That motion was: ‘(a) The decision as to whether to have a vote should be left to each Maori Council. (b) The Maori Councils alone should be able to request a vote, and the vote should take place at the time Maori Members were being elected to the House. (c) The Crown should defray the expenses of the vote.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Thirdly, the way for Councils to be funded.</i> The Minister said that the meeting should choose a way of funding the Councils besides the dog tax and fine monies – (a) a household tax; (b) a voluntary contribution from rate money; (c) a tax on livestock. The donation of a percentage of money from leases could be approved by the local people who have leased out lands under the prescriptions of Part XVII of the Maori Land Act, 1909, that is, by a gathering of the local people. It took the meeting a long time to deal with this matter, and all the things proposed by the Minister were agreed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These were the main matters dealt with by the meeting. On the last day of the meeting the Honourable Sir Timi Kara, the Honourable A T Ngata, Te Rangihiroa MP, and other Maori leaders came to the hall. The meeting laid before the Minister of Maori Affairs all the matters dealt with by the meeting. The Hon A T Ngata, Te Rangihiroa, Tame Parata, Major Tunuiarangi, and the Chairman of the meeting made speeches. At the conclusion of the speeches and the thanks the meeting ended.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A NURSE FOR MAORI</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because many people have suffered from fever this year and because of the frequent recurrence of the outbreaks, Dr Valentine, the Chief Inspector of Hospitals in New Zealand, has arranged for a Nurse to investigate and to instruct the Maori of Gisborne here in ways of caring for those who are ill with fever, and everything related to those who are ill. There will be other work for that Nurse to do while she is living here in Gisborne. This is a very good thing because fever is not a pleasant illness. It was arranged last year that that nurse would come but it was thought that the illness was abating in Maori areas. But after she had arrived and become a familiar visitor in the villages around Gisborne here, it is right that we should be grateful for the Doctor’s idea of sending that nurse. That Doctor visited Gisborne and saw in the hospital reports the number of people who had fever during the year and the number who had died. The following numbers show us the severity of this illness amongst Pakeha and Maori too. The Doctor says that from November last year until this November 92 people were admitted to the main Hospital in Gisborne with fever. Of those 92, 49 were Maori. Of the 92, 9 died, and 6 of those 9 were Maori. In private hospitals there were 25 cases of fever, some of whom were Maori, although the number of Maori was not shown. Given this situation the Doctor decided to appoint a Nurse to go into the Maori districts of Gisborne. The above figures show us how we have suffered from fever. Amongst the 92 sufferers 49 were Maori and 33 Pakeha <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(sic)</span>. We are afraid of hospitals and the doctor. Therefore these 49 are those who saw the doctor and were sent by him into hospital. How many were there who had fever at home and did not know it was fever and died not knowing the reason for their illness<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">?</span> Typhoid fever is a dreadful illness. The terrible thing about it is that it spreads. It is one of the enemies of the doctor. It is not sitting beside someone with fever that is bad but contact with things that come from within the body of the sick person. A person died of fever. The nature of the illness was unknown. The things that emerged from his body were not well dealt with but simply poured outside. The germs of the fever remained in that place so that when a person went to that place to sit down he was infected with that illness. He was not laid prostrate at that place like someone bitten by a snake but his body became increasingly weak and after a week he was lying down. Now, he does not know where he got his illness. Another person may go to that place and if he is a very strong man he may not be troubled but if someone goes who is weaker then that person succumbs. Now, the germs of the fever survive for a long time in that place – they can live for more than ten years, therefore during those years it is a dangerous place. This is the bad aspect of the fever that Pakeha find so disgusting. If the sick person is well cared for they will survive but if not they will die. The figures show us that 9 of the 92 died. It was this aspect of the illness which gave the Doctor we have spoken of the idea of sending a nurse to teach Maori the ways to cope with that illness. There are other good things which ought to be known about protecting people from this illness which the Nurse will be able to point out to those she visits. Therefore it is a good thing that this woman has been sent to live in the Maori areas. Looking after children is something most women are ignorant of at present, and that is something about which this Nurse will be able to give instruction. Women should not think that because their children have thrived over the past 50 years that they know how to raise children. The illnesses of the past are not the same as the illnesses of the present, therefore the care of children in the past is not the same as caring for them now. All this knowledge is for our good, knowledge which such a woman will be able to impart. Our word to the people of Gisborne, and to those of other places which have such a woman, is to welcome your visitor, your <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">guide</span>. Take to heart her instructions for your well-being.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. This is simply a reminder to you not to forget our member, Apirana Ngata, who is standing, and let us be committed to supporting him at the time of the coming election<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, b</span>ecause perhaps we are coming to an end of the Maori members who can unravel the decorated baskets within the House of Counsel of the Pakeha. Apirana Ngata alone is standing now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our thoughts turn to Timi Kara who stands on the lofty peaks of wisdom as a father to the Tribes of New Zealand, but he was elevated by the Pakeha side to those offices and not by us Maori. But his ultimate concern is for us Maori. Timi Kara alone is the one, the Toka-tu-moana [the Rock standing in the sea], to whom we Maori cling. He himself is like the paua clinging to the rock even though it is battered by storms and thumped by the huge waves of the Pacific, as it falls to him alone to work on the laws – he has no helpers. But what is that to him? He has a trigger on his [?<i>ngutu parera</i> – a type of flax] gun for later on. ‘Later on ‘ is the phrase – for later on there will be [?<i>aruhe</i> – edible fern root] benefits for the Maori side when the time or season comes and a Maori member arises with the wisdom to bring comfort after Timi Kara who is being attacked by the weapons of the enemy. Then it will fall to Apirana Ngata, who is standing, to bring comfort after him. It is as if the two of them are taking up the paddles of their canoe, Takitimu, - Rapanga-te-ati-nuku and Rapanga-te-ati-rangi, [paddles on Takitimu] as [?<i>tuatua</i> - ?s ceremonial cloak] for Taipuni [?Taipupuni – ?one of the crew of Horouta], for Taiwanawana [?Tai Wawana – a paddle on Horouta], and for Taiaropuke [?Taiaropaki – a paddle on Hourouta]: ‘I wield my paddle, a paddle that twirls, a paddle that flashes to the horizon, alas. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[</span><i>Ki whano whana haramai te toki haumi e! Hui e! Taiki e</i>!]’ Let our minds come together as one in deciding that Apirana Ngata will be our member.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The person or persons who wish to contest the member’s seat for which Ngata is standing should look carefully and examine their hearts as to whether they should not let Ngata stand [unopposed] as a colleague for Timi Kara. Who thinks, or who surmises that such people will be made Ministers if they are elected as Members. Eventually perhaps they may just become members.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the last election campaign I made statements warning people of Ngata’s wrongdoings, saying that it would be right to reject him as member. However there was no reason to reject him; it was simply ill-feeling on my part, and it was not right. Therefore:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, if, in the matter of the petitions which came to be dealt with by the Committee of Maori Affairs, these petitions failed because they were deemed to be in error<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.</span> Ngata is not to be held answerable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Second, if, in the proceedings of the Maori Land Court, the other side was defeated by Paratene Ngata causing ill-feeing on the defeated side, and the vote for Apirana Ngata was [?increased – ?<i>uta ke</i> - ?rather loaded] as a response, just as I was resentful at the failure of my petition about my home, Waipiro Block, and ascribed my defeat to Apirana Ngata as an act of revenge for my hurts, this was wrong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Third, if we are now seeing the Government purchasing land, are we seeing a failure on the part of Ngata? My friends, look carefully and consider carefully and see how each tribe, each hapu, each family and each person is going to Wellington to ask for the easing of restrictions so that land can be sold to the Government or to other people. Money is the rope that drags people to want to sell land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fourth, if Ngata’s elevation to the office of Minister was a reason for Maori to criticize Ngata, it was Maori who elected him to be a Maori member, but it was the Government that made him a Minister. If one uses this to condemn Ngata then that is ignorant, mistaken and a foolish thought. We know that our </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[6]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ancestors and our forebears gave things away to the Queen of England for ever – gave people, gave land, gave status – in 1840, and <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t</span>he Government is the embodiment of the Queen, and of the King, here in New Zealand, and the Government is our parent henceforth. There is no other. It alone has the power of life or death for the Maori People and for all the many peoples settled in New Zealand. So think carefully about whether you want Ngata, a wise man, to be thrown out of his office as member, and foolish people, without wisdom to take that position when it comes to contests for membership hereafter. My friends, Ngata clings to the bosom of the Government along with Timi, knocking on the parent’s door beseeching him to show love to his Maori People just as we pray in the Lord’s Prayer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our Father, who art in Wellington, hallowed be thy name, let us experience your mana: give us each year good laws; forgive us our sin of wasting our land; secure to us the remnant of our lands; do not agree to our request to do away with the restrictions on the sale of our lands; but make an all-embracing law to strengthen our commitment to farming just as it was said by the Ancient One – ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return’. Amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you would be so kind, please send out the following statement. In the hustings for the election of a Maori Member to Parliament Pepene Eketone has been making pleasant speeches and including stimulating bait to tempt people. Now, electors of the Tai Hauauru, take a careful look at the man to whom you will give your vote, but I, with only one vote, will not give it to Pepene Eketone. This is because in 1905 and 1907 Eketone supported the election of Te Heuheu. A large part of Ngati Maniapoto voted for Te Heuheu. They did not vote for Eruera Te Kahu because Te Kahu was standing on the Government side. At the big hui at Te Paiohauki, Te Paeroa, Te Heuheu spoke threateningly. He did not say not to vote for Henare Kaihau, but Te Kahu was attacked by him. One of the main assertions made there by Henare and Te Heuheu was that this Government had destroyed the Treaty of Waitangi. Te Kahu replied that it had not. There were some people there from Ngati Porou who saw that Henare and Te Heuheu did not like Te Kahu. When Paraku stood to speak he said to Te Kahu that the tribes had recognized the justice and the strength of Te Kahu’s explanations, but since Waikato and Hauraki had given their word to Mahuta, if Mahuta were to tell them to jump into the water they would jump. Should Mahuta say, ‘Vote for the tree,’ they would all vote. I think that Pomare is the fortunate one that my heart inclines me to choose. There are two reasons for my choosing him. First, because he is very familiar with both Pakeha and Maori ways. Secondly, he is a Doctor who tends pains, and that is excellent for a suffering people. He will not be paid for being a member and a doctor for all of us of course. If Pomare is not nominated, then my friends and I will vote for Henare.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, if it is possible to send out the following words, please send them for the tribes to see. They concern the coming election of a member for the Tai Hauauru. Maui Pomare is one who has been supported by the leaders from Paraninihi to Waitotara. Messengers have been sent to the borders of Whanganui and they have been welcomed. The leaders of Ngati Ruanui also went themselves to Taupo to promote the vote for Pomare. They were Pou, Tupatea, Tupito and Tahuata. From there they urged Ngati Tuwharetoa to vote for Pomare. The chiefs, the elders and the tribe agreed. Ngati Ruanui went along wholeheartedly. Afterwards Pepene also went to Taupo then the chiefs of Taupo, of Ngati Tuwharetoa, spoke. This is what they said, ‘Listen, family, I and these elders will do what Ngati Ruanui asked, but you, the whole tribe should vote for Pepene. As one they replied, ‘Yes, yes, yes.’ My friends, it is right, it is true, that this is what happened with Te Heuheu and his people. Ngati Ruanui will see on election day that what I say is right. The people of Whanganui are distressed by Section 50 of the Maori Land Act 1909.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some people acting strangely have overturned the land settlement reached by Taitoko and other elders of the tribe. Now, the people who supported Ngarangi Katitia have turned to Pepene. It is known that Ngarangi Katitia is envious of Pomare so he stood to divide the vote so that Pomare would not become member. But the wish of the people is that Pomare should stand as an ally for Timi Kara, an ally in seeking a window to address the 1892 Law, the Law which brought the Ngati Ruanui lands under the Public Trustee so that he could lease them to the Pakeha in perpetuity. This is the main reason why these tribes – Ngawairiki, Ngatirangi, Whanganui and Ngatiruanui – support the election of Pomare.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friends, we Maori people suffer from jealousy, from lying, and from double-tongues. The statements of Kerei Hokowhitu to Pepene last week were a response to Pepene’s statements about the mana and the sovereignty of the Maori People. What Kerei Hokowhitu said to Pepene was, ‘The supreme Maori King was Potatau and the whole country turned to him. When Potatau died, Tawhiao took his place. When Tawhiao died, Mahuta took his place. Mahuta cast aside the Maori Kingship over this country and so we have today a Pakeha king. You, Pepene, have said that there are two lofty mountains on the Tai Hauauru. But I say that there are three – Taranaki, Tongariro and Ruapehu. Now, Ruapehu is my mountain: when you arrived I was already married to my husband. Listen! A person is not named by being baptized on the soles of the feet: Waikato emerged from my mountain, Ruapehu.’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was perhaps Eruera Te Kahu who helped the constables catch the people who were illegally selling alcohol here in Raetihi.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There appeared in the June edition of the paper last year some serious statements about Hamiora Hei; they were made by Henare Mahuika. The allegations were that when Hamiora Hei completed his education he returned home and asked for his people’s land to be given to him. Out of pride in their child the tribe gave him good lands. Hamiora sold that land, thus getting easy money for himself without losing any sweat. That was the return to his people for providing him with an education. We published an article showing that these statements were wrong. They were wrong allegations about Hamiora, lies uttered to traduce the name of a man who knows the right thing to do. In our explanatory article to the readers of our pet about these erroneous statements, we asked Henare Mahuika to write to the paper apologizing for his words. However, at the time he wrote his article he was a sick man and had been bed-bound for a long time. And subsequently Henare died without having written to the paper. In these circumstances we have decided to write to our friends everywhere pointing our that the accusations made against Hamiora Hei by Henare were wrong. It was not only Henare who was wrong, although he wrote the article, but other lips also uttered fabricated stories. The land that Henare said had been sold by Hamiora is still in his possession and he has done well in improving it and stocking it with sheep and cattle. It has not been sold. Those of you who thought badly of Hamiora because of Henare’s statements should abandon such thoughts. These are our final answers to people’s strange statements.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We published some words in our pet telling bad news of Te Arawa in England. The stories in the papers about this matter seem to confirm that that is the case. Some of them have now returned but some have stayed on having been conned by Rangiuwia (sic) to stay on to make money for themselves in the music halls [?<i>kamupene waiata</i> - song companies]. Sir [William] Hall-Jones, the New Zealand Commissioner in England, did not approve of some of them staying. However, half of the party stayed to involve themselves in the money-making ways of the Pakeha. One piece of news in the papers we receive is that Makereti Papakura has become engaged to an Englishman called [R C Staples-Browne]. The date of the wedding has not been finalized, but the paper says that it will be in Fiji.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What form does ministry in the Church take? Is it the case that the Apostles set up the three orders of ministry we know – Bishops, Priest and Deacons? It is very clear that Christ did not specify clearly the structure of ministry: he did not give detailed instructions about ministers as he did about Baptism and the Holy Communion. What is clear is that in the 200 years after Christ the three orders were firmly established in all parts of the world that had turned to the faith, even as far as the Nordic tribes. The main question we must look into is whether we can trace the beginning of this practice back to the time of the Apostles. Irenaeus, who lived 200 years after Christ, said that there were three orders of ministry laid down by the Apostles, as did his friends and all the great people from that time to the present, and our Church retains his words in the<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Preface to </span>the ordination service. At the time Irenaeus wrote there were, still living, many elders of the Church who knew about the nature of the Church in the time shortly after the Apostles, and what he said was not contradicted. By this we know that what he said was right. At the time the Apostles were writing to us they appointed several men as Deacons (Acts 6) and some as Elders (Acts 14.23, 15.4) and James as a Bishop for the Church in Jerusalem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the three orders. In AD66 Paul ordained Timothy and Titus as Bishops for the Churches in Asia-Minor and Crete. This Order of Bishop was the same as the later Order of Bishops. After that time Clement wrote his letter to the Church of Corinth; this man was said to be a Bishop of Rome. In his letter he did not refer to the office of Bishop but this does not tell us that there were no Bishops at that time because there were similarities between the office of Bishop and the office of Priest <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">then</span>. In the early 200s, Ignatius, a Bishop of the Church of Antioch in Syria, wrote his letters to the Churches in Asia. In his letters he wrote about Bishops, Priest and Deacons, and said some things about Bishops appointed for distant parts of the world. Soon after the death of Ignatius, Polycarp wrote his letter and in that letter he also spoke of the three Orders. In the writing known as the Canons of St Hippolytus the liturgies for ordaining Bishops, Priests and <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">D</span>eacons, are described. This book has only recently been discovered but it is thought that it was written in AD112. The words of this book deal with the ministry before that time, those around AD100. After that time it is certain that the threefold ministry was established in the universal Church. It is clear to us from these statements that we are right to say in our liturgy for the Ordination of Clergy, ‘that from the Apostles’ time there have been these Orders of Ministers in Christ’s Church; Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.’ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In his speech in Christchurch, [?<i>Miri</i> - ?Mills] told a story about elections in America. One of the candidates seeking election was a redhead. The newspaper that supported his opponent set about taunting him for the redness of his hair. Whereupon the man called on all the redheads in the electorate to support him and to trouble the side that was taunting him. When the redheads heard this they were keen to help him and the redheads from other places came to vote for him as well. The man was elected, not because of his good policies but because the other side jibed at the redness of his hair.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Thursday, 23rd of this month, the bones of a young man, were found. He had disappeared in the winter of 1907. The man’s name was Pura Renata and he was 24. He disappeared during the night. The people of Muriwai searched for him the day after he vanished. They searched for a long time but did not find him. The story went around that Pura had ascended alive into heaven. On the Thursday he was discovered; he was uncovered by the plough of a Pakeha. Pura died in an open place but soon after his disappearance a large flood struck Gisborne, his body was covered by the water and as the water decreased the body was hidden by the sediment. Last year there was another large flood and the body was covered over more. That place was ploughed that year but the plough only went into the silt and therefore the body was not discovered. A new plough was used this year and the bones were disturbed but they were still in the soil and were not spotted. When the Pakeha was harrowing, one of the blades of his discs went over the skull. The Pakeha stopped his horses and looked at the human bones. He fetched a piece of calico and spread it over the place; he knew that it was a human being that was lying there. The Pakeha sent a telegram to the police. On the Saturday they made an inspection. The bones were gathered up. A key ring and shoes and other things were found beside the bones. From those things it was ascertained that the man was Pura. His parents said that those were his shoes and that he had locked his room on the night he went missing. Pura was a sick man; he had eye trouble from when he was small. He was a mature person even though he was still young in years.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A woman in Port Jackson has come into money, the result of her and her father collecting stamps. When he was a child her father started to collect stamps and continued up until his death twenty years ago. He left the boxes of stamps he had collected to his daughter. After the death of her father the woman also took up collecting. In recent days she went to see the stamps in the museum. As a result she realized the great value of some of the stamps in her boxes. Then she asked an expert to look at her boxes and to place a value on the stamps. The man said that he was unable to give an accurate valuation but he thought that they were worth between six and seven thousand. Some people have spoken to the woman about purchasing her stamps but she is at present unwilling to sell them, although perhaps she will by and by. The Pakeha has unique ways of making money!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Government is talking of reducing the cost of telegrams sent from New Zealand. One day in January the cost of telegrams from New Zealand to England will go down. It is also thought that the cost of telegrams to Australia will go down at that time. The cost per word to Australia is 4½d; it is thought that it will go down to 2½d. Mr Ward has put this to the House.</span></div>

When he spoke in Taranaki the building was full of people. When he stood the hall applauded. After the applause died down he said, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to be able to see someone amongst you but I cannot because of the number of hats! Ladies, if you would kindly take off your hats I would be very happy.’ Some of the women took off their hats and some of them kept them on. When he saw that what he said did not please them all he called out, ‘I’m not speaking about the women who are bald. It is better that they keep their hats on.’ There was applause in the hall, and every hat was taken off.</span></div>

When it had turned over they were not able to right the boat again. One of the women swam to land, a distance of two chains, to fetch a rope. She got her rope and returned to bring the children to land. All of them were saved. Had this woman not been clear-thinking perhaps some of those children would have died. This was a brave act on the part of the woman.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One despicable deed spoken of in the newspapers happened inside the holy temple of the Mormons in Utah. This temple, according to the newspapers, is a very beautiful Mormon building and was built to rival the temple of Solomon. It is not possible to describe all the ornamentation in that building. Some of the things within are overlaid with gold as in that of Solomon. This is a very holy building for the Mormons. Strangers are not allowed inside, only the holy people, and the holy people are not allowed to talk to outsiders abou the things in that temple. It is said that the cost of the building was over a million pounds and that it was over forty years in the building. Joseph Smith Jr received a letter from a man telling him that he had 68 photographs of the interior of the building and if the Mormon Church did not purchase the plates he would send them to all parts of the world so that the world would see the interior of the holy temple of the Mormons. That man said that he did not want just £20,000 but much more than that. The man who took those pictures was a German. That German was very familiar with photography and had turned to the Mormon faith. That is how he got inside that temple. He was a year taking his photographs. It was remarkable that that man was able to take his photographs secretly, because there are people guarding that building at all times, night and day. The Mormon Church is thinking of taking legal action against that man for his deceitful activities to intimidate the Church with these pictures as a way of making money for himself. What people do now for money! But why is the Mormon Church afraid of the world seeing the interior of that building? But although the reason for the Mormon Church’s fear is not known, what that man did is very wrong, an extreme example of theft, a disgusting action. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In his case</span> the law is <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">powerless</span> to help the Mormon Church, or to get those photographs returned, or to have that man punished for his appalling action.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have been informed of the death of Joseph Smith Jr, the prophet of the Mormon Church. When Utah was settled in the year 1846, Joseph Smith was a child. He is a nephew of the first Joseph Smith. In 1882 he was the Chairman of the large meeting which made the constitution for the town of Utah. In 1901 he was elected President of the Mormon Church. He is also the President of the Bank of Utah and of the sugar refinery. There has been major development work in Utah under his leadership.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At 11 o’clock on the night of Thursday, 16th of this month, a large Auckland building was burned down. The firemen fought the blaze for a long time before it was extinguished. The fire began in the clothing shop. This is one of the largest shops in Auckland. The people who have that shop own the whole building, but some parts are let to other people and there are many different shops within it. The people who died were those in the clothes shop. There are ten other shops in the building and they have suffered mostly from the water. The cost of the loss of the main store is £150,000 and some have lost £6000. Most are well-insured. One of the firemen was injured by timber falling from the building; he is in hospital. The cause of the fire is not known.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 15th November, Archdeacon Ruddock opened the carved meeting house at Porangahau. The name of the house is Te Poho-o-Kahungunu. This is the third time the house has been rebuilt. The name of the first house was Te Purutu . The significance of that name was that henceforth there was to be no fighting there, that is, within the <i>Pooti Pirikore</i> boundaries as laid down by the chiefs of that district. When the second house was built it was named Kahungunu. The saying about this house is: ‘The bones are for the dogs, the flesh for the people.’ The interpretation of this is that the bones represent fighting – that should be left for the dogs; the flesh represents peace, good living – this is for people; that is, this is what people are to seize upon. This third house is built on the pattern of the first, in appearance and plan. Many people gathered for the day of the opening.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Parliament has ended and the members have returned to their electorates to account for themselves before those who voted for them. Now election day is not far off. This year, for the first time, the Maori People have the opportunity to tell the whole of New Zealand what they think of this widely consumed ‘food’, liquor. Then we can show whether we approve of this ‘food’ or abhor it.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have made known in our pet the evils resulting from this ‘food’ and the benefits that will come to the people from its abolition. We have also published articles from some people who support that ‘food’. They say that we should make drinking alcohol a noble thing. Such talking give a false impression of liquor. Liquor is a very powerful thing and those who are able to drink it in an estimable way are strong people, and there are very few people like that. The fact is that most people are overcome by liquor. And it is not the case that it is only those who are not in control of their drinking who suffer - it might be alright were that the case - but it is the weak, the children who rely on them; these also participate in the suffering of those who are unable to control their imbibing of alcohol. This is what is wrong with such justifications.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are coming to the end of the right road by which the majority can achieve a good result, the prohibition of the sale of this ‘food’, on election day. We appreciate that this is a very difficult thing for the people who are accustomed to this ‘food; they are the ones who will suffer from dryness and longing. But such distress is small compared with the good fruits that result. There is a man we know who was formerly addicted to pipe-smoking. He thought that he would not be able to give up his pipe. However because of illness he got the strength to give up that pipe. At first he suffered from a great desire for it but he desperately kept his resolve and now he has no desire for it. It will be the same for the man who is skilled in drinking alcohol if the sale of that ‘food’ is prohibited on election day. The source of our well-being now lies in our Maori heart and in love for people. Many people do not have their own homes but live with others. We do not suffer badly as do the Pakeha who carry their clothes in swags on the roads. Because of this Maori characteristic we have not taken care to save shillings against times of difficulty. But take note that this will not always be the case; both Pakeha and Maori ways are changing for the worse. By and by we, or if not we then our children, will suffer badly. Therefore, since that time has not yet arrived, let us learn and do away with the ‘food’ which would prevent us from laying aside those small shillings against bad times.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Saturday, 30th September, Lord Islington, Governor of New Zealand, laid the foundation stone of Hukarere School. The plan was to lay that stone on Friday 29th, <b>[2]</b> but because of the heavy rain it was postponed until the Saturday morning. The marae was beautifully decorated for the arrival of the Governor. The soldiers who had the honour that day of protecting the Governor at Hukarere were the boys of Te Aute College. It was befitting and fine the way they stood in their military uniforms and carried their rifles. Their appearance and stance was like that of soldiers who were old hands at the job and had returned from the wars; they knew their drill, how to stand, and they listened to the commands of their officers – things for which soldiers are commended. The Napier soldiers escorted the Governor from the railway station to the School; when they arrived there the Te Aute boys took over. At the school gates the Governor met the Bishop and the clergy and the school trustees. They were wearing their robes. The Bishop and clergy led the Governor to the place designated for him, while the choir sang a song. The Bishop delivered the welcome of the Synod of the Diocese of Waiapu to the Governor. When he finished the Governor stood to respond to the Bishop’s words. At the conclusion of the Governor’s speech the hymn was sung: ‘O God, you are our helper; the citadel in which we are safe from these great afflictions.’ [<i>Maori Prayer Book</i>, No. 146 English Version:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">O God, our help in ages past,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our hope for years to come,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our shelter from the stormy blast,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And our eternal home.]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was beautiful to hear the voices of the Hukarere girls mingling with the male voices in the singing of this hymn. After the recitation of the Apostles’ Creed the Bishop called upon the Governor to lay the stone. A jar was placed in the hole made for the stone which was to be laid by the Governor. The things inside the jar were the speech of the Bishop to the Synod, the speeches given at the opening of the school, the welcome of the Synod to the Governor, the Order of Service for that day, and the names of the Trustees of the School. All these were put inside the jar which was then put in the hole that had been prepared, and then the stone was placed over the hole. The Governor took his mallet to put the stone firmly in place. While he was doing this he said these words, ‘Let this stone be well and truly laid,’ and also, ‘May the blessing of God and good learning be found in this place.’ After these words of the Governor more hymns were sung.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After this the Bishop stood and called upon the Governor to speak to the congregation. The Bishop also spoke some words of gratitude to the Governor for leaving his many duties and coming to fulfil the wish of the Synod. The Bishop said that that was a sign to them of the high regard in which the Governor held the Maori People. The Governor spoke at length. Most of what he said was an expression of his happiness at being invited to lay the foundation stone of Hukarere School. He also praised the work done when the old school was standing, but especially the family who began the school in former times and whose involvement continues up to the present time. He also expressed his approval of the things taught at the school and the breadth of the curriculum which covered intellectual areas, manual skills, and matters of faith. He said that this basic curriculum in the school was what people needed to learn. He also said that it was a beautiful thought on the part of the Pakeha of Napier to help the girls when the school was burnt. This showed him how well the people thought of the girls and how much they approved of what the school does. The Governor also expressed his gratitude to his Guard, the Cadet Corps of Te Aute College. His final word was that his heart’s desire was that the children apply themselves whole-heartedly to their good work when their building is completed. That they work well is not just for their own benefit, for those entering that building, but for all the Maori people of New Zealand. People were full of praise for the Governor’s speech.</span></div>

After these speeches the money was laid before the Governor. The total amount collected was £270. At this point the service was concluded by the Bishop.</span></div>

In 1854 that school was moved to Waerenga-a-hika where there was sufficient land for the children to set about growing their own food. In 1865 there were the troubles with Te Kooti which resulted in the destruction of the school. Because of the unsettled state of Gisborne the Bishop moved to Napier and, with the help of his friends in England, in 1875 he set up a small school building at the</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The new school is not being built at Hukarere but on another larger site on the hill at Napier. It is all of bricks, inside and out, but the school rooms are separate from the sleeping quarters of the children. The school building is 60 feet long and 25 feet across. It contains just one room, but it is large and can be converted into three small rooms using folding doors. For nights when there are entertainments these doors are folded back and the room is again a single room. At one end of the room is a raised platform as a games area. The children’s living quarters are 80 feet from this building and a verandah links them together. The floor of the verandah is concrete. The living quarters are 116 feet long and 82 feet across. This building has two storeys. There are 27 rooms on the lower floor and six large dormitories only on the second floor. The total cost of this building is £8000. There are 100 children in the school.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Father, greetings. Be so kind as to load on board the following words to be seen by Puhi Kaiariki and his friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To Puhi Kaiariki. Friend, greetings. I do not forget my words of advice to the Maori People about farming, but your friends, your older and younger brothers, and you argued with me saying to me that the right thing for the Maori People to do is to lease all the lands. The Maori People do not know about agriculture and farm work like the Pakeha. Now I spoke to you about the benefits of farming from what I had observed myself, and of my beginnings in farming up until the time we had our argument. The benefits that come to a farmer are that he has money on hand every day of the year, that is, the office that lends money is there for the careful farmer. Every person faces many obligations – the rates, the land tax, the survey liens, clothes and accommodation and food for people, deaths, and descending visitors. However the farmer does not have to look to the right and to the left because everything is arranged for him – the fat lambs, the turnips, the potatoes, the milk, the butter, or the money for a handful of flour or sugar. But you did not agree and argued that all the land should be given over for leasing. Now I said to you, a knowledgeable person, to remember carefully these words of mine about leasing land. In six or perhaps twelve months you will see the lease money. I have observed Maori who live on lease money and seen that when the time comes and the bills arrive for the rates and the taxes they have asked help from the leaseholder. And it is not long before the borrowed money has disappeared - before the day the rent is due. Subsequently the growing family is in need, catering for a tangi has meant going into debt for food, and visitors have arrived meaning more debt. The result is that when the time comes for receiving the rent the debt has exceeded the amount. After this the lessee says, ‘Oh, your debt is too high. I shan’t give you anything, but sell me your land and I will let you have what you want. From this the problem escalates and the land goes. Farming is good in that it is the will of the Lord and it is good for the pocket. You did not agree, however let’s have your thoughts as to which is the right thing to benefit and sustain a person and the pocket of the [?<i>rautete</i>]. You have also seen the rights and wrongs of our argument; send your opinion to Te Pipi showing whether leasing land brings far greater good than farming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, as for my money used to prevent liquor being carried on the Whanganui River. My friend, you did not help me and what harm have you observed coming to my body because I have had the idea of prohibiting alcohol lest poverty come upon the remnant on the Whanganui River. Now, my friend, you know well that when Wiki Taitoko went to the Bay of Islands he said to the Whanganui people that from this time, ‘I am leaving the business of the people to Te Kahu.’ Now, his words came to me, he said, ‘Te Kahu, look after this tribe, this remnant well. Be strong. Love your remnant.’ Now, Puhi, you were angry with me for helping the Constable arrest the crooks who were selling liquor. Now do you realise I was right? Do not be sad, Puhi, </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">but the important thing for me and which I am looking forward to is the coming election. My desire is that the present Government remains in place and then we can be assured that our hopes of the past days will be fulfilled. Now, how is this Government to be elected to fulfil our wishes if we do not help by our votes? If you suffer at the hands of a different Government do not in your heart let it become a matter for resentment, or of heartfelt regret [at the loss of] this Government. Rather be loyal to this Government so that you can make clear to this Government what you suffer and your sorrow, and they will set things right. However, if you set yourself up as the enemy of this Government who is going to look carefully at what you suffer if we are seeking what is good and life-enhancing. The writings say, ‘Do not repay evil for evil, but repay evil with good.’ [Romans 12.17 & 21] The Lord is the king of good, Satan is the king of evil, and liquor is his beloved son. From your humble servant of the Maori People.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, 8th of this month, thirteen prisoners were confirmed by Bishop Crossley of Auckland in Auckland Gaol. This is something done in English prisons but this is the first time it has happened here in New Zealand. The Bishop’s words of counsel to those men in his sermon were beautiful and were taken from the collect for that day the Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity, ‘Lord, we pray thee that thy grace may always prevent and follow us, and make us continually to be given to all good works.’ Most of the prisoners attended the service, nearly 200 of them. At the end of the service the Bishop shook hands with each of those he had confirmed and gave them a copy of his words of counsel to help them to be resolute in keeping the vows they had made. The idea came from a young man who was about to be released from prison. He wrote to the minister who is responsible for them saying that he wished to be confirmed before coming out. That minister then spoke to them all during one of his services about the meaning of confirmation. At the end of his address some twelve gave him their names for confirmation. He spent a long time instructing them and eventually the 8th day came around on which they were confirmed. It was a lovely gesture on the part of the Bishop and it revealed to people what he is like at heart. He was the Bishop who pleaded for the life of Tahi Kaka. These were excellent actions, actions which showed the meaning of the office of a Bishop – a father in the Lord to orphans and widows, for the good and the bad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Write these words as a news item. I approve of the articles about prohibiting alcohol. I particularly praise the Te Pipi articles in recent months; they speak the truth about the terrible effects of drinking alcohol. I believe I have experienced some of those in my own body, and so I whole-heartedly agree that this is a very bad ‘food’ for the Maori People. An accident occurred here during September. It was the day of the cattle sale in Kaitaia. An elderly Maori, a pensioner by the name of Paratene Kereopa, was drinking alcohol. He got very drunk and set off for his home. He did not arrive having fallen onto the road and been left behind by his horse. On the following day he was found and taken to his home. For two weeks he did not know anyone, and then he died – because of alcohol.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every organisation set up for some kind of task chooses some people from amongst themselves to run that work. This is the practice of all kinds of organisation and the Church is no exception. This was a plan laid down by Moses for the people to adhere to. We also see in the Gospels that one of Christ’s important tasks during the years in which he was preaching his Good News was to teach those who would run his Church. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles and also in the Letters of the Apostles we are shown that those who were ministers were set apart and the people formed a separate group, and those who teach are still set apart from those who are taught. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From former times until the present day the whole Church has sought to hold to what is known of the Apostolic arrangement of ministry. What is written in this chapter will consider the following questions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. What is the basis of the authority of ministers in the Church?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. What form should the Church’s ministry take? Is it the case that the three orders of ministry we know – Bishops, Priests, and Deacons – were clearly derived from the Apostles?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3. Do those ordained by the Church receive a special blessing?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is the basis of the authority of a minister in the Church?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are two answers to this question. The first answer says that this authority comes from Christ, it descended from him to the Apostles, and from the Apostles to those they chose to take their places, and so comes down right to the present day. The second answer says that this authority comes from the Christian congregation and not from outside of them. These two answers live in contention with each other. Formerly many people supported the second idea, that authority derived from the congregation, and those who separated from the parent Church held to this idea. But now it is seen that this is not the teaching of the Apostles, nor is it the teaching of the Church Fathers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning Christ chose his twelve Apostles having spent a night in prayer to the Father before choosing them. Luke says in vi. 12-13: ‘In those days he went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles.’ When he was speaking to them in the Upper Room he said to them, ‘You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit.’ (John 15.16) Soon after his resurrection he said to them, ‘Peace be upon you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ (John 20.21) These words applied to the Apostles apply more broadly also to the Church. These sayings are from the Gospels but the same teaching is given in the Acts and the Letters of the Apostles. In Acts there is the account of the choosing of Matthias to take the place of Judas. The choice was made by the casting of lots, to show that the choice was not theirs but that of Christ. Their prayer at that time was, ‘Lord, you know everyone’s heart, show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside.’ [Acts 1.24] When the seven Deacons were chosen the Apostles prayed earnestly and then laid their hands upon them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paul said to the elders of the Church in Ephesus, ‘Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops.’ (Acts 20.28) He also says in his letter to the people of Corinth, ‘And Christ has appointed in the Church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues.’ [1 Corinthians 12.27]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To Timothy the Apostle said not to quickly lay hands on anyone. [1 Timothy 5.22] To Titus he said, ‘I left you behind in Crete for this reason, that you should put in order what remained to be done, and should appoint elders in every town as I directed you.’ [Titus 1.5]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We see in these verses the idea of the Apostles that authority for ministry comes from God, and their idea <b>[6]</b> that they were sent by God to pass on that authority to others. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If we look at the writings of the Church Fathers of the time soon after the Apostles we see that they have the same view of the office of a minister as that of the Apostles outlined above. The same is true of Clement in AD 96, of Ignatius in AD 112, of Iranaeus in 200, and of other famous elders in the time after the Apostles. This is how the Church has thought of the source of the authority of the clergy in the Church from that time until now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1. If, under Section 46 of the Licensing Amendment Act 1910, a majority of Maori vote against the provision of liquor to them, will Maori be prevented from entering buildings where liquor is sold?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. If the Maori vote is as above, will the Hotel owner be able to prevent Maori from eating, sleeping, or staying in that hotel?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If at the time of the vote a majority of Maori eligible to vote agree ‘that liquor shall not be supplied to the Maori of that district,’ and a Maori of that district is given liquor that is an offence making the offender liable to a fine of up to £100.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">THE WAR BETWEEN ITALY AND TURKEY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of this month, war broke out between Turkey and Italy over an area on the north coast of Africa known as Tripoli. It is not known why this war happened so suddenly. The great powers are very critical of Italy for its haste in stirring up this conflict because the reason for it is not clear. The powers say that it would have been better had Italy waited for the powers to settle their dispute. But now they have fought, Turkey has been defeated, and Italy has taken the town of Tripoli. Italy says that the reason for this war was Turkey’s ill-treatment of Italians living under its rule. The Turks have not exerted themselves to investigate the problems faced by the Italians, and most of those problems are not being brought to court. An Italian girl was abducted from the Italian town and urged to marry a man whose religion is that of Mahomet. Italy says that Turkey was very angry that it was occupying a part of the land beside the Red Sea, and Turkey had tried to make it uncomfortable for the Italians living in that place. Italy is also alleging that Turkey has been plundering Italian goods. When Turkey sees an Italian ship at sea they plunder it. These were the reasons why they went to war against Turkey. But on closer investigation these are not the real reason for the sudden attack. Looking at it, it would seem that these reasons are insignificant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turkey maintains that greed is the reason why Italy chose to fight. Italy wished to take to itself the power to run Tripoli, but Turkey would not agree. This was the cause of the war.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turkey is sad that the great powers did not speak to Italy to take a softer line in this dispute. On 29th September Italy sent the Governor of Tripoli its final communiqué saying that if he did not do what it asked for in its letter and Turkey did not give what it demanded<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>there would be war. When the Governors of some other peoples living in that town heard that Italy’s final communiqué had arrived, they set about gathering together their people living in that town lest they suffer in that conflict when it broke out. Men, women, and children ran on the streets of the town when they heard that war was imminent. The Italians in that town and in other Turkish towns had gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In Italy’s notification to Germany it said that if Turkey were to hand over control of Tripoli then it would not go to war.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the morning of 29th the Turkish letter arrived in Italy. In it they agreed to some of their demands but were not able to fulfil all that they desired. [Italy] then said that this statement had arrived too late. This was the declaration of war.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 1st October the Italian siege of the town of Tripoli began. Four warships were involved in the siege. The small Turkish steamships there were not allowed to leave. Many torpedo boats were seized. On Tuesday 3rd the town was attacked by the warships. There were eleven warships involved in the attack. Some of the warships were in the rear to protect these against any attack from Turkish warships, and there were also some other warships guarding some other bays. On the evening of that day the warships sent their messenger to take the town of Tripoli and to demand that it place itself under the suzerainty of Italy. There being no response there began a bombardment by the guns of the eleven warships. It began at 3 o’clock. By 5 in the evening the bombardment of the main tower of the fort ceased; it had fallen to the accurate gunfire of the warships. The bombardment began again on the Wednesday morning. It was not long before the bombardment had destroyed the towers close to the sea and the Turks retreated to the hill behind the town where they were shelled. But before long the bombardment stopped. It is said that what the Italians did was terrifying. Three hundred guns were used for the attack on the fort. The fighting had not been going on for long before it became clear that this was like a sport to the Italians; the gunners had made bets, saying that their guns would not miss. Those men had a very good eye and did not miss the things they shot at. Now the fort of Tripoli had been taken by the Italians. When the bombardment of the towers ceased so also did the resistance of the fort. When the soldiers from the warships entered the Turks did not fight. The Italian flag was also raised to wave above the fort. Two other towns to the east of Tripoli were attacked by the Italian warships. The task of the warships was to seize the torpedo boats and other small Turkish steam ships. Italy had made known to Turkey that it was willing to make peace if </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turkey agreed to it taking control of Tripoli. If Turkey agreed to this Italian proposal then Italy would give Turkey a large sum of money to pay for part of the destruction caused by this fighting. It is not clear what Turkey thinks of this Italian demand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turkey’s problem is that its people are not agreed. Some say that it is good to go on fighting, others disagree. The soldiers did not play a large part in the fighting, unlike those of Italy. Those Turks who support the fighting tell the people that it should be called a holy war. This idea is rejected by most of the people. This is the idea that is feared by others of the great powers. It is the reason why the powers were grieved by the alacrity with which Italy attacked Turkey. The Turks as a people are followers of Mahomet and not Christians. This religion is widespread in Eastern countries. Now, if a war is declared a holy war then all people of that faith are obliged to fight. This is why it is feared that Turkey might regard their conflict as such. Also, if this was to happen then there would be no end of fighting, which may spread to the great powers. Italy is Christian, its worship is Roman Catholic, and Turkey follows Islam. There would be no end to fighting if their reasons for fighting were not common reasons but reasons of faith. Those Turk committed to this war have set up a group dedicated to the defeat of Italy. This faction asserts that this is to be called a holy war. But instructions have been issued that this war is not to be promoted as such. At present the trouble is ended. From the beginning of the war until now the cost to Italy has been eight million.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The fort of Tripoli is an ancient fort, one of the oldest in the world. It was first settled by the Phoenicians , seven hundred years before the birth of Christ. At that time there were three forts close beside one another. Subsequently one was continually enlarged and the other two were swallowed up into one city. Their names were also lost; the one name Tripoli covered the three forts. That fort has been continually occupied up to the present time. The peoples who controlled this fort were: first, the Phoenicians; afterwards, the Romans; afterwards it was taken by the Vandals and later by the Greeks. After a long time under the Greeks it fell into the hands of the Arabs. From that time until now the religion of this town has been Islam.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. Please print this article. I saw the speech of Puhi Kaiariki in Te Pipi, in which he says that a person who is born mad will be mad. I disagree with that statement. In my opinion everyone is not born mad but some become mad as they grow up. Let me give you one example, not taking into account past examples. This man came from Te Aupouri. He came to advocate that he should be elected member for Tai Tokerau. I saw him in Kaikohe on 14th of this month when he was delivering his talks. He drank the ‘water of life’ spoken of by Puhi Kaiariki. I saw that <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">candidate</span> sleeping in the passage of the building as a result of the action of his and Puhi Kaiariki’s ‘water of life’. Then he was taken by the Pakeha of Puhi Kaiariki’s building, the hotel, into the room where he keeps his flour. When he got up in the morning that <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">candidate</span>’s suit was white all over with flour. Perhaps that is the benefit that comes from Puhi Kaiariki’s ‘water of life’. Enough, my friends, you who are supporting that man to be member for the Tai Tokerau, choose carefully in your hearts lest he happens to be elected, he goes to Wellington and drinks Puhi Kaiariki’s ‘water of life’, and is put into the flour bin so that his suit is white with flour. Best wishes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A TRAGEDY AT SEA.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the last days of September one of the French warships was wrecked. It was a great tragedy for that nation because men were lost, money was lost and goods were lost. It was a large warship and it was also a new warship. The cause of the disaster is not fully known. It is known that there was a fire in the powder store, but the source of that fire is not known. Another of the warships caught fire at that time but it was not such a disaster. However it is thought that this was the source of the fire; perhaps a spark flew and landed in the place where the other ship’s powder was stored, resulting in an explosion. According to some of the people who survived that disaster, the fire flared up spontaneously because of the heat of the day. It is not clear which of these is right. But, whatever happened, it was a huge disaster. When the first explosion occurred some of the men were ordered below to close up the hole where the powder was falling into the water, but the men were not keen lest they be killed by the gas when they were working there. One of the engineers tried to direct water into the place but he had not been doing this for long when the second explosion occurred which destroyed the warship. When it was obvious that it was impossible to fill the powder bay with water the crew were ordered to abandon ship. Many of them had died. A total of 216 lost their lives. Some of the sailors from other warships were going to play football. When the first explosion took place they abandoned their journey and went to help those involved in the accident. Most of those men died in the final explosion. The man who tried to pour water into one of the powder bays was not killed but is lying in the hospital. The President of the nation, their ‘king’, visited the hospital to pin a medal of honour on his chest for his bravery. There was 125 tons of powder on that ship. It was an important day for that land when the remains of the dead were buried; not one of them could be identified. Leaders from all nations came to the burial bringing their sympathy to the French for this great tragedy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There has been an uprising over a large area of China against their Emperor and his Government. It is a major conflict. People with insight began to be aware of the wickedness of the actions of their Emperor. Formerly there were very few of these people but their numbers have increased up to the present day so that now thousands of people of all callings have taken up this stance. Many administrators, soldiers, sailors, and other callings are following this new cause. When they realised their strength they set themselves to fight against those who supported the Emperor. People of other nations living in China are afraid of being killed as in recent conflicts. But the leader of the side that is seeking to overthrow the Emperor has said that no-one from another country need fear including all the missionaries. Their fight is against the Emperor only because of the wickedness of his policies. If the Emperor falls the fighting will cease, the business of the Government will swiftly be set right for the benefit of the people and for the benefit of other nations. Those who are seeking to overthrow the Emperor are very strong and indications are that they are winning. Should the Emperor be overthrown the leader of the rebels will be installed as president for the people.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bird, load these things on your wings and carry them to the marae you fly to. I am now 49 years of age and I know these two sea fish, one is the flounder and the other the grey mullet, and I know that the two of them do not take a hook if you are fishing. But on this day, 18th July, 1911, I saw one of these beasts being fished up by a Pakeha – it was a flounder. I saw that it had taken the hook. Two were caught by that Pakeha on that day when I saw him fishing. Perhaps there are some people who have come across this or who have not come across this, but it was baited with the right bait for flounder – earthworms, very small earthworms. Although the flounder is asleep, if the hook and the earthworm are slowly drawn along the flounder will eat it. Enough about the flounder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That is how it is with your people, the Pakeha, who go about seeking ways to trouble everything, beginning with us Maori, and now they are disturbing the flounder – he has found a bait for his hook with which to trouble it. However the worst baits with which the Pakeha is affecting us and ‘fishing’ us to death are liquor, the purchase of land, and other similar things. Therefore, Maori people, cut off, cut off these worms, this bait. Stand on your own two feet. Do not, in the coming days, be like a herd of cows being driven to the market. But I think that when we have acquired important offices in Parliament we Maori are in a position now to turn aside these baits. We are not going to be continually offered worms and land purchases. Presently we shall have become like a herd of cows going along the road to be sold to the Pakeha. Or we shall be like a tree that, being cut down, falls into the river and floats away in the water. My friends, think of our descendants lest they be left bewildered by these troubles. But perhaps the heart that is tempted by these worms will not be able to separate itself from them. I finish here. Best wishes, people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the meeting of the Committee that runs Taranaki Hospital a motion was passed asking the Government to make a law to bring to an end Maori communal living and to require each Maori to live on his own portion of land, and to enable the Public Trustee to give money to those Maori to build good homes for themselves and to have livestock, and to advance Maori so that their marae, their occupations, their health and their bodies are improved. That meeting also said that tangihanga should be shortened or done away with as a waste of time and money. They could not see the good of those customs. – Mareikura.</span></div>

He was nearly drowning when he was spotted by a child of fifteen who went into the water to save him. He was a long time working to bring the man to land. When helpers arrived to bring them to land both of them were exhausted. It was a very brave action on the part of this child.</span></div>

The decision of the Jury was that the driver of tram Number 80 and the driver of the cart were both at fault. The driver of the tram did not recognize straight away how dark it was that night. He drove his tram well and observed carefully the state of the rails. The fault of the driver of the cart was similar: he knew what a bad night it was but did not ensure that he had good lights so that he could be seen travelling on the road.</span></div>

The Secretary of the Committee set up in England to deal with that money has informed the Governor of the amount given by the Georges of New Zealand and the total amount. The money contributed by the Georges of New Zealand is £70, and the total amount contributed by all the Georges in the realm is £3400. The organizing committee has decided that part of that money should be used on a medal (the Badge of St George) to be presented to the King. The remainder of the money will provide scholarships for young people becoming sailors on warships. The amount of money from the Marys to be given to the Queen has not been made known.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The English have completed a huge battleship. It is the largest battleship in the world. It is 545 feet long and 88½ feet in beam. Its displacement is 23,000 tons, 5000 tons heavier than the largest ships already built. It has ten guns with a 13” bore. Each gun is 51 feet long and weighs 8 tons. A single shell weighs 1250 pounds and requires a charge of 187½ pounds of cordite to propel it. These are the largest guns in the world. It sails at 21 miles (i.e. knots) an hour. Some of the most important things on this ship are its torpedoes which are very large and more powerful than those on other warships. The size of its torpedoes is 21 [?<i>iaihi</i> sic - ?<i>inihi - </i>inches] and they can travel 7000 yards. There are three torpedo launchers on this ship. Those who have seen her say that those warships that were thought large before are as nothing beside this Leviathan. The name of this ship is Oriana.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">AN ANSWER TO PUHI KAIARIKI.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are not going to join battle with the instructions of ‘Puhi Kaiariki’ [<i>Puhi-kai-ariki</i>, the little carved figure, facing the bow, at the base of the taurapa, or stern-post of a canoe. – <i>Williams</i>] in this Te Pipi. We believe that the things Puhi Kaiariki relate are all the thoughts of others about our attitude to liquor even though he has written them; they are ideas held by most of those who drink. We say that there can be no worse advice for anyone to give the people than this guidance.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The evil impact of liquor is known; no-one is ignorant of that. Only Puhi Kaiariki says that it is a good and healthy drink. But people are not united as to how to deal with this wicked thing, alcohol. The evil impact of liquor is known. It is a way to death, and that a person should advise the people to continue drinking amazes us. We think that what Puhi Kaiariki says is pure fiction and that he has not looked carefully at the evil that springs from the consumption of this ‘food’. If Puhi Kaiariki advises his own children to hasten to death, we may say in our hearts that that is alright; but if he says to the children of other people to hasten to death then we say that it is a wicked thing.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Puhi Kaiariki says that liquor is a healthy drink; had he said that it was a stinking drink that would have corresponded to the meaning of the Maori word. The Scriptures say of intoxicating wine: ‘[Their wine] is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.’ [Deuteronomy 32.33] Where now is the life in it, that it should be called health-giving? If one looks at what we have written in Te Pipi for May, June, July, and August one sees the many afflictions caused by this ‘food’. It has no right to be called ‘health-giving’.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He says that it is drunk by the top people. We cannot contradict this statement; we are not privileged to live in the company of Dukes and other people of similar standing. But he makes the accusation that this is the drink of the Bishops and the Clergy, and this statement is wrong; he cannot support what he has said. The evil of alcohol is that it strikes men down, it degrades people, it does not just give them red noses. The Dukes are not seen staggering along the roads or falling off their horses, but that is the case with many Maori. So we say that we are the ones who are in a bad way, never mind those Dukes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for the soldiers, this was the cause of Russia’s defeat by the Japanese. The Russians are a drunken people; the Japanese are not. Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener have said that the best soldiers are those who do not drink alcohol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for the poisonous foods of the Maori, such things are not eaten when they are poisonous but when they are not poisonous. A person is simply mad who would eat karaka berries [?<i>werawera</i> - ?raw i.e. unwashed and uncooked]. <b>[2]</b> Liquor is drunk even when it is poisonous, which is why people suffer and why we are mad. How then can liquor be consumed as a noble ‘food’? This is the difficult thing. Most people cannot do it. In the past people tried to consume liquor as a noble ‘food’ and they became the victims. Therefore it is said, ‘That’s enough of the lie that says that liquor can be consumed as a noble “food”, because it cannot be done.’ Generations have suffered while saying that it is a noble ‘food’; indeed it is still being said, and how does it affect a man? He falls into the water, he staggers on the streets, he even kills himself, leaving behind in the world his destitute children with their anger. These are the fruits of the noble ‘food’. What can we do? We can do away with the spirit that is striking us down. Those who have gone into the dark were deceived. Let us follow the remnant to life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Statements to the effect that people were born like this are, we believe, blasphemous. No-one is able to say that a man is lazy because he was born that way. A man is seeking to avoid his guilt when he says that it is rather God who is responsible for his sin because he made him this way. God is not like man. If a man sins the fault does not lie with God for making him sin, rather it is his fault. This is terrible advice; it recommends a person to be lazy. Let us work out the end result of this kind of recommendation. A person is lazy and he says, ‘So what? I won’t go to work because I too was born lazy.’ A person has no money and he says, ‘What’s the point? I won’t bother to go to find myself some money because I too was born destitute.’ This kind of person ultimately suffers. This is not the character of us Maori; the Maori law is to do away with such afflictions. If someone is suffering we will set up a war party to avenge that suffering. Now that we are being afflicted by liquor, what has become of this ancestral law which requires us to avenge the death being inflicted on us? We are the descendants of our ancestors, or perhaps you are preaching a new custom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is good that you support Te Kahu’s call to farming. That is the right thing to do. But if there were no alcohol the farming would be far better, its fruits would return to our pockets. Farming and bending the elbow do not like each other for it is farming that suffers, not the liquor. The important thing for us to do now is to work our lands, and the one important thing that will strengthen us to do this is if we prohibit the sale of alcohol, so that we can devote our strength to working our lands and so that the fruits of our work will return to us. So friend, Puhi Kaiariki, do not be angry at these words. We are not speaking severely of your words, but we speak because we want the well-being of the people, not our own.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ABOUT ALCOHOL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. The two Pakeha and the lone, single Maori woman, spoke threatening words before the gathering of people at Te Kuiti, saying that liquor is an evil ‘food’, a ‘food’ that reddens the noses of people, a ‘food’ that cripples the legs of people who drink it, a drink that consigns a race to poverty. But the words I have written above I did not hear in person. However most of the articles advocating the prohibition of alcohol are contained in the Maori and English language newspapers, but, Maori tribes, I say that it is untrue to say that alcohol has made us poor, that alcohol causes red noses, and that alcohol destroys the race. If you think that what I say is mistaken, that is alright, but allow me to have my own thoughts. Now, friends in other parts of Aotearoa, ignore the activities of the Temperance Union. Let us not swear falsely. They say that liquor is evil, yet next day they are drinking that liquor. I have heard that these drinks which we know as liquor originate in England, Scotland, Ireland and France, while these peoples who make them call them the Water of Life. My friends, why should be prohibit the water of life, the drink of leaders, of Dukes, of Lords, of Kings, of Bishops, of the clergy of each Church? It is the drink of the soldiers, of Generals, of Colonels, of Majors, of Officers and of the military personnel who fight on land and sea. It must be good if it is drunk by such nobility. Maori had poisonous foods in the past such as the karaka berry and the [?<i>waiongata</i>], if a person was foolish enough to eat the karaka berry [?werawera - ?raw i.e. unwashed and uncooked] or drank [?<i>waiongata</i>] in ignorance. Likewise with alcohol, it is the person who makes himself stagger. But I have seen many become bankrupt and destitute for reasons other than liquor, while I have seen people who drink who are neither bankrupt nor destitute. My friends, Christ was not killed by drunk people but by people of faith. My friends, the person born to destitution will be destitute, the person born to be foolish will be foolish, the person born to compose will compose, <b>[3]</b> the person born to be a thief, a robber, will steal, the person born to be lazy will be lazy, the person born to sleep will sleep for a long time, the person born to be insignificant will be insignificant, the person born to be without words will be without words, the person born to be silly will be silly, the person born to speak the truth will speak the truth, the person born to be peaceful and honourable will be peaceful and honourable, the person born to work hard will really labour, the person born to be keen will be keen, the person born to wear the right clothes on his back will dress properly, the person born to be a speaker will speak. What person does not want money? What person does not seek a way of making money? Now, Te Kahu is the Whanganui man, of Ngatiapa, who has worked hard for the prohibition of alcohol and to prevent it coming inland of the Whanganui River, to defeat it. He has freely given his money for the lawyers of the Temperance Union without thinking whether or not he was only helping a small part. If a real battle is stirred up in this colony, who is going to stop it, the people who want to prohibit alcohol or the people who drink it? Enough of these words. Now let me speak about some of the things I keep hearing about Te Kahu. He says that the way the Maori people will grow, will prosper and will increase in numbers is through farming, the work which exercises the body, which makes sweat pour down, perspiration that each day warms the body well, which makes food sweet, which makes for sound sleep, which makes the heart rejoice, which strengthens every part of the body, and makes for long life. Such are the statements of that man. So much for this subject. If the whole world was to believe of what use would be ministers, judges, constables and lawyers? If there was no sickness what would be the use of prophets and doctors?</span></div>

I have taken it to the Queen and she has instructed me to send you her response. The invitation from the people of New Zealand to visit them as their guest brought joy and love to Queen Alexandra’s heart. It would give her great happiness to accept this invitation if she were able to do so because the Queen knows how much the people of New Zealand have done to show love and loyalty to the Mother Country of England. It was a cause of great sadness that she was not able to visit the great Dominions dispersed in the oceans when her beloved husband was alive. But now she is unable to undertake such journeys in the absence of her travelling companion of 47 years. The Queen believes that the compassionate people of New Zealand will understand and will not be upset that she is unable to accept their kind invitation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Chapter VII - The Lord’s Supper.<br />
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have pointed out above that there are two main purposes of this Sacrament, the Communion. First, it serves to strengthen and encourage the faithful people since the Sacrament makes them one with the Lord, with Jesus. It also serves to remind the Church of the death of Christ. We completed the explanation of the first part in the previous edition of our bird; the following words explain the second.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One purpose of the Lord’s Supper is to be a reminder. What he said was, ‘Do this in remembrance of me.’ Some people say that the words used, ‘do this’, do not giver the true significance and that it should rather be ‘re-enact’ [?<i>whakarite</i>]. Re-enactment is the real meaning of that word. The word ‘remember’ is used frequently throughout the Old Testament of some of the Jewish practices. Some of those practices are intended to be observed by them as reminders, like the incense placed on the Bread of the Presence (Leviticus 24.7), and also like the trumpets sounded on days of celebration (Numbers 10.10). Likewise Christ arranged his supper as his memorial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us not think of this as a repetition of the death of Christ. His death cannot be repeated. Once only he humbled himself and died, and now he lives in the place of the glory of God; he cannot repeat his death, just as he cannot repeat again his forgiveness of the sins of the world. The purpose of our remembrance of Christ in the Communion is not to recall his death only but also to remember his dwelling in heaven ‘as a Priest in the order of Melchizedek’ [Hebrews 6.20], as one who intercedes for us with God, and who in his great love will take us, the Church, to live there with him. Paul also says in Ephesians 2.6: ‘And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.’ What Christ says about his blood being poured out supports the idea explained above. The reference of the words ‘poured out’ in the Old Testament is not just to the blood of the beasts being poured out but also to that blood being sprinkled on the altar. This understanding is also supported by the Apostles. Paul also says, ‘For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim [?<i>whakarite</i>] the Lord’s death until he comes.’ [1 Corinthians 11.26] He also says in Hebrews 10.19-22, ‘Since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), … let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.’ The significance of Christ’s words is clear to us – ‘In remembrance of me.’ He is not saying that we are just to remember [something in the past] but to remember his death, his resurrection, his ascension into heaven where he sits at the right hand of God to make intercession for us.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the teaching of the Church Fathers after the Apostles, of Ignatius, of Justin Martyr, of Irenaeus, and of the book called ‘The Teaching of the Apostles’. This understanding is also taught in the liturgies of the ancient Church, in the prayer books of Jerusalem, of Alexandria, of Rome, of Ephesus and other similar books. Although there was no decree issued by a General Synod about this matter, the agreement of the teaching of the Fathers and their writings is the same as a declaration of a General Synod. This was the understanding of the Early Church and it is also the understanding of the Church of England. What does the branch of the Church in New Zealand teach its people about this Sacrament? Its teaching is very clear.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, it says in the Catechism ‘The body and blood of Christ … are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord’s Supper.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Secondly, it says in the first Exhortation in the Communion Service, Let us give thanks to God the Father ‘for that he hath given his Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, not only to die for us, but also to be our spiritual food and sustenance in that Holy Sacrament.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thirdly, it says in the third Exhortation in the Communion Service, ‘then we dwell in Christ, and Christ in us.’ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fourthly, it says in the prayer before the Consecration of the Bread and the Wine, ‘[Grant us therefore, gracious Lord] so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him and he in us.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fifthly, it says after the taking of the Supper, ‘We most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us, who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of the Son our Saviour Jesus Christ’ to be taken into our hearts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is the teaching of the Church here in New Zealand and also of the Mother Church in England as to the true understanding of our taking of the Lord’s Supper. We are not just offering our praise to God, but we are also reminding him of the death, the resurrection, and the ascension of his Son, and offering our bodies and souls as a sacrificial offering acceptable to him in our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church also makes clear the blessings received by the person who partakes of that Sacrament. The Catechism speaks of, ‘the strengthening and refreshing of our souls by the Body and Blood of Christ, as our bodies are by the Bread and Wine.’ The second thanksgiving after Communion says also, ‘[thou] dost assure us thereby of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy dear Son.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the Church makes clear the many blessings that come to those who take this Sacrament it urges people of faith not to take this Sacrament infrequently. See the Exhortation in the Communion Service and the Rubric before the Communion of the Sick. Although the Church points out very clearly the benefits that come to a person he should not be ignorant that these are spiritual blessings. Those partaking must draw near with a faithful heart, and we discover that all that the New Testament says about this Sacrament applies to us as do the teachings of the Early Church Fathers, so that we abide in hope and we also pray to God to bring back to this service those around us so that we may be one. This is a service for the whole Church. Let us also believe in the rightness of these blessings and let us frequently partake of this Sacrament to strengthen our souls.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The papers tell of a terrible murder, the assassination of the Prime Minister of Russia, Stolypin. The place in which that Prime Minister was shot was a playhouse. It was a day of celebration. A memorial stone to one of the relations of the Tsar of Russia had been unveiled and the people had gone to see a play at the theatre. The Tsar was also there. Only the leaders of the people were in the building. During the interval of the play the Tsar and Stolypin went to a place in the aisle to talk. At that point his assassin got up from his seat and went to where they were standing as if he were going outside. When he arrived beside Stolypin he bowed, took his pistol from his pocket and shot the Prime Minister. When he had used up the ammunition in his gun he ran only to be seized by the strong hand of the law when he got to the door. He was arrested. When the rascal’s gun went off the place where the Tsar and the Prime Minister were standing was hidden in smoke so that it was not known by most of the people which of them had been injured; the thought was that it was the Tsar. The man having been seized by the police, the Tsar went and stood in his box and ordered the band to play the people’s anthem for the king. Stolypin was lying down when he heard the people singing that anthem. He stood up and made the sign of the cross to the Tsar before lying down again. When the singing finished a request was made that the murderer be handed over to the people to be killed there and then, but permission was not given. That Prime Minister did not die at that time. The doctors removed the bullet from his backbone but thereafter his condition deteriorated and he died. His assassin was tried and sentenced to death. The man was a lawyer, the son of one of the leading people.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A bad accident occurred in Auckland on Monday the eighteenth of this month. Some tramcars collided. One person was killed. Five others suffered serious injuries,<b>[6]</b> while many suffered abrasions. The newspapers did not make clear where this accident happened. There were two trams, the one in front was number 76, the one behind was number 80. The two were heading down the hill towards the railway bridge but they were not going together, one was in front and the other behind. There was also a laden cart drawn by two horses travelling on the road down the hill; this cart was the cause of the trouble. When tram 76 passed by, the cart went onto the rails and followed it. The man on the cart did not know that there was another tram coming behind. Tram 80 did not know that there was a cart on its rails because it did not see a light. Eventually the tram struck the rear of the cart. The front of the tram was concertinaed in. The driver of the tram stayed in place but his controls had all been damaged. The tram did not stop but continued to push the cart along. The horses fell and were pushed along the line. The cart was pushed along for a long way before falling off to the side of the tram-line. One of the horses broke a leg. When the way forward was clear the tram gathered speed. The driver of the tram behind was working on the hand brakes but they would not work. While it was heading down the boom came off the electric wires and the lights went out so that it travelled in darkness. Below, tram 76 had stopped and passengers were getting down, unaware of the runaway tram. It was the impact that made them aware that they had been caught in a tragedy. Number 76 was pushed along by number 80 until they stopped on the railway bridge having travelled for fifty yards. The injuries to some were the result of being thrown about by the runaway tram. The man died because he was standing there, about to descend, when the trams collided and were crunched together. Because he was close to the handrail he was killed. The inquest into the cause of this accident has not been concluded and so it is not yet known who is responsible. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A man left his home and went to the hotel where he got drunk. When he came out he met another man whom he attacked. He was arrested and taken to the gaol for his assault. When his wife heard of it she summonsed the owner of the hotel for providing her husband with liquor so that he got drunk. The woman’s case was upheld and the hotel owner fined £800. This incident occurred in America. Were the people who manufacture liquor and also the people in the hotels to be fined for the tragedies that result from their work as this man was, all the money in the world would not be sufficient for them to pay their fines.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Andrew Carnegie is one of the rich men in the world. He is one of those men called millionaires because of their wealth. He has given money to all parts of the world to help with good projects. He is a famous man. When he and his friends were having a dinner to celebrate his birthday he spoke of something that happened to him while he was in England. He travelled from a certain town to London by train. ‘When we got to a small station a labourer got on puffing on his pipe. The man came and sat in my carriage smoking his pipe. I said to him, “My friend, smoking is not permitted in this carriage.” He replied, “Alright. Just let me finish this pipe here.” When it was finished he filled up another. I said, “My friend, I told you that smoking is not permitted in this carriage. If you take no notice I will speak to the Guard.” After I had spoken I gave him my card. He looked at it and stuffed it in his pocket and proceeded to light his pipe again. When we arrived at another station he went to a different carriage. I, for my part, spoke to the guard asking him to write down the man’s name and address. The guard agreed and went away. Soon afterwards he returned looking frightened. When he got to me he leant over close to my face and whispered as if he were afraid that our conversation might be heard by that man. He said to me, ”My friend, if I were you I would not prosecute that man. When I asked him his name he gave me his card. Here’s his name. It is Andrew Carnegie.”’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Saturday, 9th September, at 10 a.m. the hui opened. The first words were a salutation to those who have departed; the second were greetings to the remnant on this island; the third concerned the issue of the day and comprised the first motion:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘That this hui agrees that the right time has come for all the Maori of these islands to give consideration to coming together for a single sacred purpose, on the basis of their distinctive Maori culture, and that those purposes should not be in competition with the Law or the Churches or the separate customs of each people.’ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This statement was agreed by the hui.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Second Motion: ‘A committee of the Maori People is to be elected to be a rallying point for the fulfillment of the objectives set out by Sir Timi Kara and Mahuta. The hui elected the following people: The Hon. A T Ngata, Major H R Taihoa Tunuiarangi, Te Kanu Pukoro, Hira Te Kakakura, Rere Nikitini, Hue Te Huri, Tutanga Tahuata, Doctor Pomare, Pepene Eketone, Taui Wetere, Hekemaru Mataitaua, Otene Haora, Eruera Te Kahu, Wharara, Taira Kima, Te Rawhiti, Tawhirimatea. There are nineteen members with the power to add others.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These names were agreed by the hui of the people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Third Motion: ‘The proposal passed by this hui is to be send to those in high positions, Sir Timi Kara and King Mahuta, for them to complete a plan which will benefit the Maori People and enable them to retain their Maori dignity.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was passed by the hui.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was then passed on to Sir Timi Kara at 12 o’clock at night. Sir Timi Kara stood and greeted the people. After the greeting he commended the purpose of the meeting of the people. He said, ‘I and my son, Mahuta, will choose a group for ourselves to further the objectives of these matters which we have laid before the people and to explain them to the people. The people can convey them to those chosen as a rallying-point who can pass them on to their tribes in these islands.’</span></div>

As the saying has it, ‘He gave and he has taken away; blessed be his name.’ The second saying is, ‘Many people depart for the afterlife; few are left in the world, so bless them, bring them together.’ Therefore I have thought to end these words I have written above, along the lines of this saying. Gather together the remnant of the people to work for the good of the body and the soul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some further words. I attended the Maniapoto Hui. The Hui was excellent for the number of people who attended from all parts – it appeared to me that there were almost a thousand present, for the fine building in which we met, and for the good tents in which the tribes ate. There was no way of entry for those illnesses which are said to afflict hui – fevers and flu. There descended upon the tribes who came, peace, and upon Maniapoto, honour. Lord, let your Holy Spirit dwell in fullness amongst all the tribes. Amen.</span></div>

However providing this way <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">to prosperity </span>cannot be done quickly because it is a new technology. The first scheme for which plans have been laid down for implementation is on the waterfall at Christchurch. The strength of that torrent will turn the generating machines to provide electricity for the lights for the town of Christchurch and other nearby towns. If this project is found to be successful some other rivers will be similarly developed. The Prime Minister said that large industries will be driven by electricity, over and above the lighting of towns, therefore the Government is determined to do this work.</span></div>

The race was held on 5th August, but we have not yet heard whether these contestants were able to compete with the English champions.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last week we received information about the explosion of a mountain in the land of Italy, like the eruption of Tarawera here. It is said that lava was flowing from 85 craters on that mountain. This was a major eruption. One town was buried and many people were killed. This mountain is known for its activity; it has been erupting for a long time. From former times up to this present eruption thousands and thousands of people have been buried by it under the earth. The base of this mountain stretches 90 miles and it is 10,850 feet high. It is said that it has erupted 100 times. In the eruption in 1169 one town was buried and 15,000 people died. In a major eruption in 1537 two towns were buried and thousands died. Another major eruption occurred in 1666 when there were three volcanic craters on the mountain. But it is said that a worse eruption occurred in 1661 when a large part of the mountain split off; the fracture was twelve miles long. In 1853 the mountain was active for nine months. That year it exploded again and two towns were buried and some thousands of people died.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In one part of Italy its people are being struck down by the lava of the mountain spoke of above; in another part of Italy are being killed by water. It is as if the powers of the earth have a plan to seize the land of Italy and its people. There are heavy rains in some parts of that land at present, but it is not like rain, rather it is as if the clouds have poured out their waters on some parts of that land. Indeed, the water is flowing down the sides of the mountains like large rivers, carrying along the huge rocks from the mountain, and the large trees, and on some parts of those mountains the towns on level places have been buried in mud and the houses battered by rocks. Some towns have disappeared completely and some have been buried in up to six feet of mud. Many people have died but it will not be soon known what the number is, not until the mud has been removed. It is a pitiful thing to see women and children wading through mud and fleeing to places of safety.</span></div>

On the day of the Court sitting the Judge was given a White Glove because there was not a single criminal case. The Judge was full of praise for the good conduct of Masterton.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thirty-eight new owls have been brought to Hawkes Bay. These owls are white and they eat small birds. These owls have been brought for a reason – so that they can eat the birds that are eating the wheat, oats, fruit and other things people are growing. The thing that distresses me is that it is not our native birds that are coming to steal the food people are growing, because they are like the people who have become a remnant on the face of their land. But given the large cost to the people who are hiring these predatory birds brought here by the Pakeha, we are not permitted to lament for the innocent local birds that are being killed by these nocturnal-feeding ghostly hooting owls. When these owls arrived in Hawkes Bay one died because of the strange environment – the warmth and cold of this land. Four have departed from their cages and have flown to find resting places for their talons. Those remaining are staying in their cage until it is known that they are accustomed to the nature of this land and then they will be released. The small birds are being put into their cage and it is easy for them to kill them. The myna is the bird that puts up a long fight before it is killed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 18th the Supreme Court sat in Gisborne. Mr Chapman was the Judge. There were 20 issues on the programme for the Court to deal with, 13 of these were criminal offences. Gisborne is a town which retains the sale of liquor while Masterton has done away with it. We see the difference between a town where drinking is allowed and one where it is not. It is a remarkable thing that [such is the case] with towns like Masterton that have prohibited the sale of alcohol. This shows us the extent of the troubles that spring from alcohol.</span></div>

As they were walking and talking the Englishman said, ‘Pari, you should be aware that liquor is both a food and a drink.’ When the Englishman was returning home he fell into a water-filled ditch and lay there. Seeing his friend lying in the water [the Chief] called out, ‘Sir, you told me that liquor is a food and a drink. Now I know that it also serves as a bath and a bed.’</span></div>

There was a positive tone to the Prime Minister’s voice as he delivered his long report, one of joy and happiness at the way all the Dominion’s projects were advancing. The revenue that came to the Dominion from its many enterprises was £10,297,023. The revenue that was carried over from the previous year, after the deduction of expenses, was £432,316, plus an extra amount of £250 – making a total revenue for this year of £10, 297,273 [sic]. Expenditure was £9,343,106, leaving a surplus in the revenue of £954,167. If one adds this surplus to the surplus from last year there is a starter of £1,386,483 for this year’s projects. The surplus from this year is £521,851 more than the surplus last year, that is, the surplus this year is more than twice that of last year.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">he took his money to the office of a man he knew. On the Saturday evening he went to town to wander about looking for a friend of his. He spotted one of his friends ahead of him walking with Panekara. He joined them as companions. He took them for a drink and to eat, for which he paid. He had found a job for himself before spotting his companions. Because they were wandering along drunkenly he said that they should return to his boat to sleep. While they were going he told his friend to go and fetch some money for him from the office. He brought £7. As they neared the place where the boats were his companions lagged behind. He knew that they were planning to steal his money. As he neared the boat Panekara followed him and climbing on board the boat he grabbed him. He was thrown down, punched in the eye, strangled and blood flowed from his nose and mouth. The other man was on the shore watching. When the captain came out he saw the man on land and asked him what the trouble was. He called out that everything was fine. At which the captain thought that perhaps his cook was drunk and was being helped back to the boat by his friends, and went back in. It was not long before the captain heard talking and thought that there was trouble. He went to take a careful look and came upon Panekara searching all over the deck of the ship for his hat before he and his mate departed. They went straight to the hotel to change the five pound note belonging to the man he had struck, for he had hurt that man and stolen his money, the £7. The barman of the hotel recognized the man who had changed the five pounds there. Not long afterwards Panekara was captured. He was not able to hide himself because it was known that previously he had no money; he had asked a man to give him sixpence to buy himself a glass of beer. At the sitting of the Supreme Court he was tried and sentenced to a year in prison and when he had completed that year he was to comply with a good conduct order for four years: so only after four years had passed would he be free. After Panekara had been in gaol for one day, word came that he had got out and run away. This gaol is completely new. It had only just been finished. It was some distance from the town of Gisborne, by the shore. When the Judge gave instructions to the jury about Panekara’s crime he spoke of that man’s former offences – fourteen of them – and said that he was a very wicked man and had changed his name many times. He had been one day in the gaol when the schemer [?<i>kai tiki</i> sic] saw the broom lying in the yard. When the Guard went to his office to sign a warrant, Panekura seized his broom and ran to the surrounding wall where he jumped up and hooked the broom on the wall. Then he clambered up using that broom, climbed to the top and escaped to the sand. The wall is 15 feet high but that was nothing to this man. The Guard was not gone for long in coming back but when he returned his prisoner was gone. He looked for where he had hidden himself but did not find him. He did not know how he could have got ou<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t</span> of the prison. The prisoner ran to Awapuni Lake and hid in the water. While he was sitting there the Policeman came. As he drew near, [the prisoner] dived under the water and, because he knew the Officer of the Law was close by, he lay there. The Policeman was only five yards from him. At night he ran off. His thought was to get to Te Wairoa and he followed the path of the tramcar. At Matawhero he turned aside to a hut but, hearing someone inside, he ran on. He saw a man travelling on a cart and asked the way to Te Wairoa. The man gave him directions. He put him on the cart and said that he could go with him to his home to sleep, then after breakfast he could go on his way. The man agreed. When they were nearly there he said that he would go on. In the morning the cook at the man’s home got up. When he went to get the meat he had cooked for the morning it was gone. Then the man realized that the man he had found was the prisoner. He told the police who now knew the direction in which he was going. This was on the Friday. One of the police was sent to Waerenga-o-Kuri to wait for him. When the prisoner arrived at Waerenga-o-Kuri he was met by a man who took him to his home for a meal. When they got to the house the man realised who he was and wired the policeman to come to the house. After the prisoner had eaten he left. The man of the house went to work; he did not like sitting around for long. Soon afterwards the policeman arrived at the house and was told that he had gone. He pursued him and it was not long before he saw him walking along. When the prisoner saw the policeman coming he knew that he had been caught, and so he sat down – it was no good him running. When the policeman came he put the handcuffs on him and took him back to town. At two o’clock on the afternoon of the Thursday he had escaped and by the Saturday evening he had been captured.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Government has given notice that the time for voting on alcohol has been postponed until the Parliamentary elections, perhaps until December. Notice was given in the Pakeha Gazette that the Takitimu vote would take place on 14th September. The amount prescribed that Takitimu had to pay for the expenses of the vote is £60 and Takitimu had agreed to pay the money.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When everything was going well, a hui had been held, and people were looking hopefully towards 14th September, the Government gave notice that the vote had been put off until the Parliamentary Elections. We first heard rumours that this was being spoken of and then last week we saw in the Pakeha Gazette about the postponement. Up to the present time we do not know why the Takitimu vote was put off. There has been no word from the Government to the Chairman of the Takitimu Council about their postponing this vote, as if the Council is not concerned with that vote. We think this is very bad on the part of the Government. Had it been a Pakeha Council this matter would not have not been so dealt with, without a word of explanation. Perhaps an explanation will be given at the hui of the Councils to be held in Wellington on 29th of this month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we see it, it will be difficult to combine this vote with the Parliamentary vote; but the Government must know what it is doing and perhaps it sees a clear way of easily overcoming some of those problems. Time will tell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The vote has been postponed, although whatever thoughts one may have about the reasons for the postponement it will make no difference. It may well be a good thing as it gives us longer to make a decision in our hearts as to whether the purpose of the law is good or bad, whether it will bring life or death to the Maori People. The owners of the hotels in the Takitimu district are very committed to trying to convince Maori of the evil of this law – ‘It demeans Maori.’ They have come to Maori villages to speak about the evil of this law. They are going into the streets and to Maori gatherings to convince them not to support the objective of this law. – ‘It demeans Maori.’ Now for the first time we see the commitment of these men as they leave their buildings and go out on the road to speak to Maori. Now for the first time we see that they are people who love Maori and have a great desire to honour Maori. Friends in every place, do not be deceived by the hotel owners, by statements such as those they have uttered. Do not mistakenly think that it is out of concern for us that they speak of how the law will demean us; no, they are rather thinking of what they will lose if we achieve the object of the law. If someone throws a decaying log on the fire, the ants will come running out, fearful of the fire. Likewise the hotel owners know that they have climbed onto the fire, therefore they have emerged from their buildings to convince us that we will be destroyed by this law. They say that we are the ones on top of the fire <b>[2]</b> but the opposite is true and they are the ones there. They know very well that this law means life for us and death for them, therefore they go on the path to find some way of saving themselves. They are like the fox that fell into the water hole. When he could find no way out he called to the goat which was passing by to come down and drink of the sweet water in that hole, when in fact there was no water in the hole. When the goat came down the fox jumped on him and then out of the hole, laughing as he went at the foolishness of the goat. Tomorrow we will be laughed at by the hotel owners if we follow their advice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many Maori listen to the hotel owners and agree that they will be demeaned by this law. The way in which they will be demeaned is that they will be thrown out of hotels and not be allowed to sleep or eat there. We do not agree that this is something that will demean Maori. We agree that the hotel owners may well do this although they do not have the authority to do it. But hotels are not the only places to stay or to eat. The Pakeha have many boarding houses and eating places. If a Pakeha sees that the hotels don’t like Maori money he will welcome the Maori to come to his house and take their money. For another thing, we are not children to be tricked by such an inconsequential thing. We have said that a hotel has not power to throw a Maori out of his building, however if we are told that we are being thrown out of the hotels then the right response on our part is to say, ‘So much for your buildings, we will find places for ourselves.’ Let us not go away like a beaten dog with its tail between its legs saying, ‘OK, if you are going to throw us out then we will not vote to prohibit the sale of liquor.’ We think that what would demean us is if we did not have the strength in ourselves to say, ‘Who needs your houses?’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friends, this is the weapon of the hotel people – they have nothing else to say. They end by saying that this is our problem. It is not a problem though some people say it is a problem. This problem only affects people going to the towns, and they are few; they are groups like Apirana and others. Perhaps 100 people go to the towns. We do not think it is right to say that something that affects these people is a problem for the people as a whole. Enough of that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us look at the benefits of this law. A person retains his earnings, the reward for his perspiration. This means of damaging his body is done away with. The demon which leads him into conflict with his own friends and which makes him say dreadful things is done away with. These things are good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">His wife benefits: she is not beaten or <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">cur</span>sed, her wishes for things for the home are fulfilled, and there is money available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The children benefit too from having food and clothes. They also benefit insofar as they will not succumb to this terrible thing when they grow up. It is the children who benefit most from this law. Let us remember that this law gives good things and benefits to the weak and, as such, it is an excellent law. It is the people from the hotels who say it is a bad law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The people as a whole will thrive when major activities are well done – farming, schools, and others. If a man devotes his energy to farming and spends his earnings on drink, his work is worthless. If a man gets to the end of his schooling and then turns to drink, his schooling is worthless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the benefits spread across the whole people: it is right to speak of it as bringing life to the people. The problem spoken of above is a single problem, an insignificant thing and something that affects few people. We have a long time before us before voting day during which can think about our reasons for seizing what is good and abandoning what is bad. The hotel people condemn this law. The Bishop of Waiapu in his speeches approves of it. Which of these two is seeking the welfare of the people, the hotel owners or the Bishop?</span></div>

The date on which this stone will be laid is 29th September, and the time will be shortly after twelve o’clock. If some people wish to give money to help the school it would be good if they could leave it until that day to give it to the Governor who will hand it to the school. If you plan to do this please place gold coins only in the purse, not silver or notes, and the purse will be given to the Governor. This is a very great day, <b>[3]</b> and those who run the school hope that many Maori will come on that day to encourage the work of the school. A plate will also be put out on that day, and people coming should remember that. The Bishop has arranged the service for that day. Those of us who live close by will be eager to help our treasure. This is the time to make a collection, if you wish, which can be taken by the Governor and given to the school.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The two Sacraments, Baptism and the Communion, are related to Christ’s spiritual indwelling of the hearts of the people who believe in him. According to Hooker, Baptism marks the beginning of Christ’s dwelling in a believer’s heart, and the Communion ensures its growth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Four books in the New Testament tell us about Christ’s institution of the Communion. This shows us the importance of this thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is a good thing to remind ourselves of the thoughts of the disciples of Christ when he spoke to them about his body and his blood. When he said, ‘This is my body which is given for you’, they thought of the Lamb of the Passover lying before them. The Passover was the great Jewish rite which year by year they ate in remembrance of God’s Covenant by which they were made his chosen people. They would have thought that Christ was likening himself to the Passover Lamb and that his disciples were to partake of him just as they partook of the real lamb year after year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for his words, ‘This cup is the New Covenant in my blood’, they would have thought of two Jewish customs. First they would have likened it to the blood of the lamb sacrificed on the altar in the evening. Secondly, they would have thought of the blood sprinkled by Moses at Mount Sinai on the occasion of the giving of the Laws. It was said that, after the giving of the Laws, ‘Moses took the blood and threw it on the people, saying, “See the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words” (Exodus 24.1-8).’ These sayings were known by all Jews, therefore, when Christ said of the wine that it was the New Covenant sealed with his blood, the thoughts of his disciples would go back to the giving of the Laws of the Old Covenant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From these statements we see that Christ was using these Jewish rites as the pattern for this holy event. But these were not the only things he had in mind as precedents. He was also thinking of the bloodless sacrifices – the bread, the oil, the wine. He used these as the symbols in his Holy Supper to represent in themselves the blood sacrifices. This was in line with his kindly practice in that he would not want living beasts to suffer pain in order to provide a memorial of his good work, rather he used the good fruits of the earth grown by men for their livelihood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Such would have been the thoughts of the Apostles as they listened to what Christ was saying. But they were also aware that these were deep sayings, like the words he spoke before when he fed the five thousand and said, ‘He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.’ [John 6.56] Now they were listening to him saying, ‘Eat, drink, this is my body, this is my blood.’ They would have realised that he was instituting a practice of feeding spiritually on his body and his blood, and that the purpose of that food was to be the path to that blessing of which he spoke – that he would dwell in them and they in him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us now examine carefully the main things about this Sacrament. We find two things. It is something earnestly practised and heartily desired by believers since by the Sacrament they are united with Christ and with one another. It is also the means whereby the Church recalls the death of Christ.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) These are important words, ‘Eating my flesh and drinking my blood;’ for they show us that believers are united with Christ. No great teachers before him spoke in this fashion to their disciples, and that was because their relationship with their disciples was not like that of Christ to his followers. Christ brought new life to the world therefore his relationship to his disciples was like that of Adam to mankind. But Christ’s relationship to his disciples was far greater than that of Adam to human beings. Because, although Adam was the origin of humanity he was not the origin of the salvation of humanity. Christ was the source of the new life; in this way he was like Adam, but he himself was that new life so he was greater than Adam. Since Christ was himself this new life it is clear to us why he gave the command to eat his body and drink his blood to be a means whereby he could continually dwell within those who partake, and they in him. This statement is like that of Moses who said to the Children of Israel, ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.’ [Leviticus 17.11 AV] </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now the words of Christ affirm that he lives within the people who eat his flesh and drink his blood, and they live in him, and we have believed that Christ lives within those who eat his flesh and drink his blood. But the way in which Christ lives within is not as the Church of Rome says. We also know that it is wrong to say that this Sacrament is just a memorial of the death of Christ. It is good that we remember that Christ did not confirm the idea of those people who asked, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ [John 6.52] He said in his answer, ‘It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.’ [John 6.63 NRSV] The purport of Christ’s saying is that it is not an actual eating of his flesh but a spiritual thing, and his blessing is a spiritual thing as well. Remember also that we should not set about seeking explanations of the things about this Sacrament which cannot be explained – the nature of the blessing received by the person who takes the Sacrament, or the exterior sign of the spiritual thing that is manifested within, or the way Christ dwells within the person taking the Sacrament. Let us be content to leave things as Christ laid them down: the power and the life of the spirit in the Lord’s Supper is known to the individual. There are no great external manifestations. It is similar with another aspect of the Communion, that spoken of by Paul: ‘Is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?’ [1 Corinthians 10.16] What truly increases the faith of a person is if his spirit is able to dwell in the holy places of heaven, something that cannot be seen with the eyes.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is not much to be said about this part of the flock. If the sheep farmer has rightly engaged with the instructions given in our other sections he will find that those instructions also cover the lambs of his flock. Then the passer-by will greet him with, ‘How good, how well your lambs are!’ Yes! These are the things a sheep farmer longs for:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(a) To be complimented on his wool – on its health, its weight, and on the price it fetches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(b) To be complimented on his sheep – on the way they are raised, on their health, on how fat the sheep are, and on the possibility of fattening them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(c) To be complimented on his lambs – on the way they are raised, on their health, and on their size.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These things are the way by which money comes to recompense him for his hard work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The time the young are born depends on when the ewes and rams are mated. If they are mated later the births will be later. But the time for giving birth in most parts of Aotearoa are the last days of July to the early days of September with August being the optimum month. If he thinks about it a man will realise the aptness of this counsel for he will then be putting the lambs onto good warm pasture. When a ewe is pregnant she will not move quickly and she will be heavy. When her young is born she will still not move quickly because of the weakness of the young one. If the parent is healthy the flow of milk to feed the young one will be good when it is not strong enough to eat grass.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">August is a bad month. It is the tail of winter and the time when the growth of grass is much diminished. Now, if the growth of the young at this time is inhibited that will continue to be a problem for them. The time for marking, for nicking the ears of the lambs, and for castrating the male young, is from mid-September until the early days of October. This is something that is properly done when the lambs are small. And when it is done at this time do not take the parents and the lambs to a distant place to be marked and do not separate the lams from their mothers for long lest they get lost and become orphaned. It is good if the marking yard can be still in the ewe paddock so that when the young emerge the ewes do not have to spend long looking for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, after this the ewes and their young can be left until shearing time. It is good to leave shearing until mid-December if the shearing place is far from the ewe paddock, to minimize the disturbance. However, if it is close, it is good to shear the ewes in November and the lambs in December. At that time set aside a paddock so that the grass can grow in preparation for the time when the lambs are shorn when those lambs that are not thriving can be separate. It is right separate the lambs from their mothers in December. The reasons for this are clear:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To ensure the health of the ewes<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">b</span>ecause January and February are the months when the ewes to be removed from the flock are sold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To ensure the health of the ewes<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">,</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">b</span>ecause it is in the last days of February that they are mated with the rams.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So that the young thrive. By November and December the lambs have matured and are readily eating grass and the mothers and lambs cannot live together on the food their paddock provides. If the young and their mothers are competing for the grass in the same paddock one will suffer, but it is the weaker, the lambs, who will suffer most.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So that the young thrive. Before the ewes are shorn they are heavy and they are not able to get about quickly. Once they have shed the weight they can move easily and are much more able to move about together than the young. The young thin ones suffer badly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There should be a quick adjustment to the parents being separated from the young and the young from the parents. By the time the months arrive when various things have to be done with the sheep, the drafting, the foot-rotting, the selling, and the many other things these animals require, there should be no problem with mixing the young with the mature sheep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, at the time when the lambs are separated, take the thin ones and those born late to the paddock with good pasture and water and which is near the boundary yard of the farm. Do not disturb them much but keep a constant eye on them because they are weak. If there is a rape paddock that would be excellent. Make every effort to separate out these lambs onto places where they can feed until the spring, and keep them apart from the healthy lambs which have been placed in paddocks which suit them along with dry sheep, wethers, or barren ewes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The months of April and May are those when lambs need particular care. The thing that affects them at this time is the disappearance of new grass in the autumn. This can be countered by looking after them well, by heaping up the droppings, and by moving them to the dry places on the land. We are not able to <b>[6]</b> deal in writing with all the many jobs and how best to care, but each person will learn as he goes <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">from</span> his work over many years and will consider what is needed at different times of the year depending on his land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A person must recollect that amongst his lambs are wethers for the coming year, and two-tooths that will be mated to replenish the flock when bad and elderly ewes are removed. If he does not care for his lambs from the time they are lambs until they are hoggets the wethers will not do well and there will be few of them and no profit; his ewes also will not do well and there will too few as replacements and there will not be many bad ewes or elderly ewes to sell. The recompense for his labours will diminish as will the money he gets.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here we complete our articles about the four parts of a flock of sheep. Here is a brief summary: When the land is good, the ewes (the seed) are good, the rams for them are good then the lambs that are born will be good as wethers for another year or as ewes to replace those that can be sold. Underlying these good outcomes is good land and covering all is good management which will achieve the good results one hopes for. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Good things come about</span> when a man’s effort and understanding and carefulness have come together.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This part of our article will seek to make clear the answer to the question whether or not we can know how many sheep can live off a piece of land in the winter and, splitting them up, how many of those sheep should be ewes, how many wethers of dry ewes, and how many lambs or hoggets. There are many answers to this question depending on the different kinds of land, the way each person manages the farm, and whether or not there is a freezing-works nearby. Also, if there is such a works nearby, if they will purchase the fat lambs and wethers from summer until winter, which will mean that one can increase the number of ewes in the flock. In places that are far from freezing-works one may have to sell all the wethers even if they are not fat or, perhaps, hold on to all of them for another year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Say, for example, that the flock numbers two thousand. If the two-tooth wethers are retained the flock will look like this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(a) Breeding ewes. 900</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The number of lambs is lower than that of ewes because some will die, even though, when they were born the number of lambs was the same as the parents. It is correct to say that half the hoggets / lambs born will be wethers and half, ewes. If the wether lambs are fattened and 70% of them are sent off, it is clear that 30% will remain and the number of hoggets on the land will go down. Therefore for places which send off their wether lambs when they have been on good grazing land, these are the correct proportions:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are not strict rules but an explanation of how to keep sheep on the land during winter. The important thing to bear in mind is the number of ewes to be mated. If the wethers, even though they are young or two-tooths or mature, are taken out then it is possible to increase the number of breeding ewes.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One thing to consider is separating the breeding ewes by their ages so that it is obvious which are the two-tooths, the four-tooths, the six-tooths, those with a full complement of teeth, and the five-year-olds. If that is not possible then take out those with good conformation and teeth as desired by the buyer. Let us say that one keeps the two-tooths and those with a full complement of teeth for breeding. A flock of 1050 will perhaps consist of:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Five-year-olds 160</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although it is almost a month since Tommy Taylor, the Member for and the Mayor of Christchurch, died, we are writing a few words about him because he was a great man in the New Zealand Parliament. On Thursday, 27th July, we received news that Tommy Taylor had died, and there was great sadness throughout the Dominion at his death – all parties in Parliament and the people. Taylor died of a stomach problem, a longstanding illness. His bodily strength and his devotion to work led him to ignore that illness. It grew and the time came when he had to lie down and could no longer curb it. On 19th July he held a large meeting in Christchurch and that night he suffered pain and one day he was taken to the hospital. On the Sunday he was prepared by the doctor for an operation. After the operation the problem began because his body was weak. As he declined, his mind was still clear and he continued to speak to his friends about how the work was to be carried on when he was gone. At five o’clock in the evening of the Thursday he entered upon the long rest. When he knew that he was not going to get better, he called his friends to his bedside to speak to them. These were his words.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To John Dawson (Secretary of the Temperance Society): The year 1911 is the year in which we will free ourselves from the bondage of liquor if we are faithful to God and to the standing we have achieved.’ Then he turned to Mr Cole, his fellow worker, and said: ‘Cole, people say that we are mad, but it is no small thing to live to get power to prohibit alcohol in the Dominion [?kota], nor is a small thing to suffer for that objective.’ His words to the Labour Party in the Dominion were delivered to Mr Isitt. He said, ‘Isitt, this is a beautiful country. Say to my friends in the Labour Party to hold to the faith and they will see that what they are seeking to do is a work of God.’ That Party said some beautiful things in response to Taylor’s words. A great many people from all sections of the people attended his funeral to celebrate his life.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tommy Taylor was born in England in 1862. He came with his parents to New Zealand in 1874. In 1896 he was elected junior member for Christchurch. He was defeated in 1899, was elected again in 1902, was defeated in 1905, and was elected again in 1908 with an overwhelming vote by the people. Last April he was elected by the people as Mayor of Christchurch. No member of Parliament was like Taylor when it came to work. He was not afraid to fight against wrongdoing, no matter who was doing it. This is the reason why he was not universally popular. Many important matters he challenged or raised. He was a man who devoted all his strength to doing what was right and to fighting against what was wrong, whether within or outside of Parliament. When it came to speaking, few people were like Taylor, and there was no-one in New Zealand like him for speaking to large outdoor gatherings. From the founding of the Temperance Society in New Zealand to this day, he has been their leading speaker. Tommy Taylor was the strongest man in Parliament in arguing for the right to vote on the prohibition of liquor in the whole Dominion, and this year that may be achieved. This is the first year for voting on this matter but, like Moses, he will not see the fruits of his work. This is the significance of that statement about the year 1911.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My family in the Lord, greetings. Since the Governor of this country has given you the power to vote on whether to prohibit or to continue the sale of liquor to you in your areas, and since, also, many Maori Councils have asked the Governor to give them authority to proceed with this in their areas, I want to point out to you the great benefits which could come to you through this vote.</span></div>

Is it your wish that your race should disappear? Is it your wish to be like the lowest of the Pakeha? Is it your wish that all your lands are taken so that you live in poverty? You say, No! But if you allow liquor to turn your minds, to weaken your hearts and bodies, and to kill your spirits, then that is the way to destroy the race. Because you will lose the will and the strength which would enable you to climb above the level of the beasts so that you can stand together with the strong of the Pakeha. From past times you have been a noble people but before long you may lose that noble status and be made slaves of liquor. If you wish to remain a noble people do not descend to the calling of the beasts but use your strength to do away with this enemy which feeds you with death. You know that alcohol is your great enemy; many are under his power; some are still alive in this world while some have died the deaths of the low-born. You know very well that the faith is a powerful enemy of liquor. It is there to guard you when you have difficulty in protecting yourselves, so that you will not eat and drink and give in to adulterous thoughts: these are the things you promised. Will you leave this stumbling-block in the way of your children, your young men, your young women, when you have received the power to do away with it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friends, for many years I have latched onto the thoughts of our relation, the Hon. Sir Timi KCB, each year. I have heard him with my ears and have with my eyes seen him standing amidst the gatherings and congregations of people urging his Maori people to hold on to their land and to turn to farming it, for by doing this you will make money. The land that you individually or together cannot cultivate can be leased to others on the basis of the new valuation of the your land.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are fine lands but they have many owners. It is not easy to run such land so that small and large stakeholders get their appropriate portions of the produce. In such a case a committee, a corporation, should be set up and a manager appointed to deal with the land, the livestock and the produce. The earnings from the land and the livestock can be used to pay the workers and to purchase equipment, etc. The remainder of the money can be taken to the bank and invested so that it increases. The profit from these is to be distributed to each person according to the number of shares held.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Whanganui is the tribe that has been most assiduous in following the advice of our friend and relation, as I also have done sometimes, however while one or two have tried farming, most see it as a Law that is not advantageous. Let me point out this. In 1906 there were three blocks of land, Morikau No.1, Ranana, and Ngarakauwhakarara. Nearly one thousand people had an interest in the title of the one block. For many years in the past, three or four people grazed sheep on these lands without reference to all the people on the titles. Eventually numbers of people called upon the Government to help them. That grievance was brought before the Governor in Council for a decision. The result was that the Governor of the Dominion signed a document giving the Fee Simple to the Maori Land Board of Aotea District. The Minister of Maori Affairs came in person before the people to tell the Board and the people that the Board was to manage these lands as farms for the Maori who owned the land. All the people agreed and they asked the Minister to set apart 1000 acres of Morikau No.1 for them to work, and said that all the work on these lands should be done by Maori alone under the direction of the Board. The Minister, that is, our Acting Prime Minister the Hon. Sir Timi Kara KCB, agreed. Then during the past March, Pauro Marino was instructed by his lawyer and his son-in-law to go onto Morikau No.1 and build fences to frustrate the doings of the Board. The Board and the manager then told the women and men of the tribe to demolish the fences. The fences were cut down. Pauro Marino brought a summons before the Supreme Court. Then Pauro Marino was summonsed by the Board. That summons was adjudicated on by the Supreme Court and Pauro Marino was found to be in the wrong. However, before the judgement was implemented, Wi Pere spoke to Pauro asking him not to bring his issue to the Supreme Court but that man would not listen. Now Pauro has sent his case to be scrutinized by the English Privy Council. But Wi Pauro, a younger sibling of Pauro Marino, went to Pauro and his lawyer. The question Wi Pauro put to the lawyer was this: ‘Lawyer, if you send this case to the Privy Council will the Fee Simple, given to the Board by the Governor when he signed, be invalidated?’ The reply of the lawyer was, ‘Perhaps not.’ So much for that. Now, my friends, there is still time for us to consider what is the right thing for us when it comes to the next election. What I have pointed out is for you to think about so that you come to one mind on the matter. This is one of my thoughts, that we have many thousands of acres of land which we have brought under the Corporation Act and the Land Board Act. The Corporation and Land Board Laws are instruments of the Government, and therefore I asked myself what might be the result if we came together as an Opposition at the coming election while our thousands of acres were in the hands of the Government. Let us know what you think. Enough of these words.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A major battle between Ngati Porou and Te Whanau-a-Apanui was fought in the district of Punaruku, Karakatuwhero. When the battle was ended, Te Whanau-a-Apanui laid down his weapon and saw Kuku, Korohau and Rongotangatake, lying amongst the fallen. Te Whanau-a-Apanui spoke proverbially of the three:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When a daughter was born to Rangitawea she was given the name Te Manu-nui-o-te-pokai. This was shortened and she was known as Manu-pokai. What these men said when they were fighting in the conflict, in the battle where they were warriors was:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Ko nga kuri pakaa a Uetahiao.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The three engaged in this battle and fell as one. The name of the battle was Maniaroa. It is said that it is so-called because of the slipping of people on the blood. Ngati Porou suffered a great defeat in this battle. <b>[10]</b> Tamatekapua captured Tuhorouta, one of the sons of Tuwhakairiora. He was saved but his face was cut by Tamatekapua. This remained as a cause of ill-will on the part of Tuhorouta towards Tamatekapua. One of the sons of Tuwhakairiora was discovered amongst the supplies, Te Aowehea. Apanui said that he should be placed in the bay. The warriors of Te Whanau-a-Apanui took the hands of Kuku, Korohau and Rongotangatake and cut off the palms of the hands to hold food for his grandchildren. As they were cutting them, they said:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>O ringaringa kotikoti kawe na, i nga pikitanga i te Korauwhakamae.</i></span></div>

Those are some of the battles in which they fought, and some other battles. Te Whanau-a-Apanui undertook the battle at Te Maniaroa and then they stopped. Apanui went and returned the sons of Tuwhakairiora, Tuhorouta who had been allowed to live and Te Aowehea who had been killed. Te Aowehea was brought by sea. A companion was arranged to take him by sea. It was a long journey before they arrived at Awatere. He was carried on a litter to the pa at Okauwharetoa. Tuwhakairiora wept for his son. After the weeping, Tuwhakairiora spoke to Apanui: ‘You have come bringing our dead son to me. Why did you strike him? Why did you allow this wicked man to live?’ He pointed to Tuhorouta. ‘He is a wicked man, a man who batters the prow of the canoe. Tomorrow you will go. Our son whom you have brought here dead is one who will rest in peace.’</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Apanui replied: ‘It is the braves of the war party I found amongst the supplies that I’ve brought to you. I’ve said enough to you. Come after me to our other son.’ That was his son spoken of below, Rahui Tao. ‘He is a man who lives apart. If you see a fire burning on the shore, that is where he will be.’ He pointed out the district and the place where the fire would be burning. Rahui Tao, Apanui’s son was a fisherman. ‘Should you kill him, bring him to me to lament over.’ He instructed Tuwhakairiora, ‘As for your anger [?<i>me ihu-a-wa</i>]. Set down your anchor at [?<i>te Ta</i>], then set sail. When the anchor at the prow strikes land, stay floating there. You will see me standing at the entrance to my pa. When I raise the red feathers on my taiaha above [?<i>ka pau tera</i>] outside the pa. Haul on your land anchor and let go your [?<i>whana-ihu-a-waka</i>].’ So ended Apanui’s instructions to Tuwhakairiora and he returned. He reached his war party and all of them went back.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 9th August a large steamship struck rocks off the coast of Africa. That steamship had sailed from Australia and was going to England. There were not many people on board but a great deal of cargo. There were 23 passengers from Sydney on board. The cargo on that steamship was insured for between £20,000 and £30,000. The steamship was insured for £500,000. It was a comparatively new ship having begun its sea voyages in 1908. The measurements of the steamship were: 420 feet in length, a beam of 54 feet 7 inches, a draft of 28 feet 8 inches, an a displacement of 5672 tons. Seventy-five of the passengers and sailors got to land in two boats. Thirty people are missing and a search is being made for those boats.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have received from Wellington the information about the census and it appears that we are on the way up. This is an excellent thing, something that should make all our hearts rejoice. The following figures show the us how we have increased in numbers over recent years.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Moriori of the Chatham Islands are not included because their numbers have not arrived. Of the 52,429 many are on the Pakeha Roll – 1457 men and 1402 women. These are people who live with the Pakeha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These figures show that there was a great increase in our numbers between 1901 and 1906, more than in the previous five years. Although the increase in the past five years has not been as great as in the others we have mentioned above we are still increasing. This census showed that there are 19,866 children under the age of 15. The same cohort in 1906 census numbered 18,417, so there are 1449 more this year. There are 6968 infants under five years of age.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tai Rawhiti is in a very healthy state. The census report says that the Tai Rawhiti has the largest increase in the number of people. People here on the Tai Rawhiti are right to be happy. The report says that it believes that this is a result of farming on the Tai Rawhiti. We think that this statement is right. The learned people have said the same - that the well-being of the Maori People depends on working the land. The following figures justify these statements. The figures cover Te Wairoa to Opotiki.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are delighted to hear some new voices chattering on our various marae. These come from the valley of the Wairarapa. They are <i>Te Mareikura</i> and <i>Te Puke ki Hikurangi</i>. <i>Te Puke</i> is not a new voice for we have heard it murmuring in our ear. It has been the fugleman on the marae in recent times but its voice vanished. However it has been discovered and has emerged again. Perhaps it was in the house of learning fashioning its weapon so that it can stand boldly on the many marae. Indeed in the first edition it speaks with a mature voice. <i>Te Mareikura</i> is a child from the house of learning and has been well prepared for standing on the marae. These pets which will bring enlightenment to the people are good and strong. Their elder brother says to them, ‘Be strong. Be stouthearted. It is an honourable task you are undertaking.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Te Mareikura</i> and <i>Te Puke ki Hikurangi</i> carry the list of names of those petitioning Doctor Pomare to stand as member for the Tai Hauauru [Western Maori]. If all the people named in that petition are in agreement then Pomare will be in a strong position when the voting takes place. Indeed three of the people nominated last time have given their votes to Pomare. They are Te Heuheu Tukino, Pepene Eketone, and Hema Te Ao. But Te Puke says that Pepene Eketone is also being nominated. But even if Pepene Eketone i<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">has not yet given</span> his vote to Pomare, Pomare still has many votes. Also, if what Te Puke says is right and the vote in Waikato is split, then the power of Henare Kaihau has been overthrown. Four people from Waikato have been nominated – Henare Kaihau, Hanui Tawhiao (a younger sibling of Mahuta), Pepene Eketone, and Tarapipi (the son of Taingakawa). Those from outside Waikato are Doctor Pomare and Rangikatitia. If the thinking of those who signed the petition is right the Taranaki, Taupo, Otaki and Whanganui will be united in voting for Pomare. Amongst the names are those of Te Kahu Pukoro, Te Heuheu Tukino, Hema Te Ao, Takarangi, Waata Hipanga, Wiki Taitoko and Eruera Te Kahu. Pomare appears to be in a strong position to be elected.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we wrote the articles which appeared in the past two months, we were not aware that at this time we would still be waiting to vote. But, since the day for the vote has not yet arrived and the time has come for publishing this edition of Pipi, we thought it good to write some words to encourage those whose hearts have been stirred to suppress this ‘food’. We also realize that there can be no letting-up in exhorting people to abolish this ‘food’ until the vote is concluded.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reason we think this is that we have observed the terrible things done by this ‘food’ which is oppressing the people, and we have heard of the good that has come to those places which have abolished it, and we also know in our hearts that nothing will hinder the progress of the people if this wicked thing is done away with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have given an exhaustive account in our paper published last month of the great damage done by this ‘food’, but there are others known to various people. We shall not try to point out all the evils caused by liquor, rather we have focussed on the sufferings that directly affect us Maori, and perhaps those which will afflict us if the consumption of it is still permitted. There is one thought for us to consider at this time and that is how this ‘food’ defeats all our good works. Let us look carefully at this effect of liquor because it affects both the one who drinks and the one who doesn’t. This is a time when people have heartfelt desires; each person longs in his heart to work satisfactorily, and some long for the people as a whole to work well. But while liquor holds sway, this heartfelt desire will not be fulfilled; it is the scary ghost which consigns to darkness the hopes of myriads lest they be fulfilled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There has been great progress in settling issues around farming in these days. That is a good thing and a way to well-being. However while liquor remains to devour the flesh of farming there will be no benefit. It is like the apple; it is beautiful to look at on the outside but inside it is rotten. The greatest teacher ever to come into this world said, ‘No man can truly serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.’ [Matthew 6.24] This statement refers to two chiefs who are at loggerheads with each other, like God and Satan. Likewise the statement applies to farming and drinking, indeed to all jobs by which a person earns money. If we adapt that saying so that it is specifically applicable to this situation it would say, ‘A person cannot both pile up money and waste it; no-one is able to dip up water with a sieve.’ There is one lesson in all three statements. It is a waste for a person to raise sheep or cows when the profit from those things is consumed on alcohol. He did those things as a way of making a living for himself, but he has turned them into a way of dying. It has been tried by thousands of people and they have discovered the error. Now, since we are starting out <b>[2]</b> on farming let us remember that liquor is the enemy of farming; if it has its way that is the end of farming. The way open to us is to vote for its prohibition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have another desire over and above farming and that is that our children will get an education and get good positions. What person with children does not have this desire? Liquor is the enemy that kills this hope. It strikes at two people, the father first and then the child second. Some fathers use up all their money on liquor, and the children do not get to the schools: this is how liquor afflicts the father. Some fathers are determined to send their children to school, he wants to fulfil his dream, but from the search for education he is drawn by his craving or by his friends to drink alcohol, and the money is wasted which would have been used for learning. In this way liquor hurts the children. Whatever our good works or our good intentions, if liquor retains its place that is where people will get bogged down and most people will suffer. There is another quagmire, but this is the ultimate pit. Which parents, wishing to fulfil their desires for their children, will not fill in the pit into which they fell, if they have fallen in or not fallen in, lest their children fall in and their desires for them come to nothing<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">?</span> There is an old saying – Tapuae speaking to his nephew. The nephew was a fighting man and he and his older and younger brothers continually fought over their village. When Tapuae saw what that man was like he called him into his presence one day and said to him:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>A koutou riri kainga ko o tuakana whakamutua tena tikina hukea te umu e tao mai ra.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stop your domestic squabbles with your brothers and go and uncover the oven that is cooking over there. [cf <i>Nga Pepeha</i> 31]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The intention of Tapuae’s words is that his nephew should go to Turanga to avenge their dead and he also has in mind that the disputes at home will not be settled while that man remains in the village. Likewise it is a word to us also at this time, ‘Go and uncover the oven that is cooking there.’ This is a time of war, but it is a fight for life. We are hurting ourselves with liquor. We endeavour to stand and fight the battles which will win people life in this world but a man is defeated by the weakness of his body and the emptiness of his pockets. Our life depends on doing away with liquor. It is because we had this idea of persevering that we wrote these additional words. There are some people who are afraid to vote for prohibition; they are concerned for those who will not have strength to fulfil their desire if there is no alcohol. Let us not think of them. What we have to have in mind is what will benefit most people. It is the case that whatever good is done, some will still pursue what is wrong, but those who are like that are few. So be firm in resolving to do away with liquor, lest the temptations of the hotel proprietors succeed. Be men! Be strong!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">TAHI KAKA</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because there were so many subjects to be covered in the June edition of our paper we were unable to say anything about the Government’s execution of Tahi Kaka. We did not want to raise this matter when it has ceased to be a matter of news but we still want to express our views on it. We are very surprised that the Government allowed that young man to be executed. The Honourable Timi Kara said that there was nothing good about the sin of that young man; all the accounts of it served to confirm his decision to execute that young man. He said that it was not for him to deal with the principle of whether it was right or wrong that young people who murdered should be allowed to live while adults should be put to death. We think that Kaka is a very immature person who should not be compared with Pakeha young people of the same age. His understanding of the evil of his act was not like the understanding of a Pakeha young person of the same age, nor was it like that of adult people. This is why it was appropriate for the Government to take account of the childishness of this young person. It is not our wish to go into the depths of this problem, after all it is all over, but we express our sorrow at the Government’s decision. We know that it was not the Government’s wish to execute that young man, but it was convinced that there was no right way to proceed other than that. But most people think that that decision was not right. There was an Honourable Member who said that he should be executed lest he remain as an example for Maori young people. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is no heartfelt desire for such a process</span>; it is not something pleasurable like drinking beer. Also the prospect of spending more than 20 years in prison should suppress any desire on the part of Maori young people to play at that game of murder. We wonder at the pity shown by the unloving people, the Pakeha, and at the lack of pity on our part, who are supposed to be the loving people. Much praise is due to the Pakeha for their compassion, but especially to the <b>[3]</b> high-minded Bishop of Auckland and his clergy who strongly supported and promoted the proposal to spare this young man.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our pet is hearing some new voices resounding over Rangitoto; the sound of the voices reaches us faintly. Perhaps they are the voices of children, but their names alone are awesome – Matakokiri Times and Tawhirimatea Times. Perhaps some wonderful things are at hand since these signs emerged; we shall leave it for time to reveal them to us. In appearance they are twins, and elder and a younger. But the elders tell us that Ranginui is their father. At this time, what is in circulation is ‘Times’, insofar as they are called Matakokiri Times and Tawhirimatea Times. Younger brothers, engaged in the same work, do not be sad at these words from your elder brother, even though he is just a bird and you two are great ones from the heavens. Your elder brother speaks of his sadness at the damage done by your use of the great and awesome name of ‘Times’. He thinks you should be content to leave the names as simply Matakokori and Tawhirimatea. These by themselves are great and good names and sweet to the Maori ear, while adding Times makes them less agreeable. Another word from your elder brother. since you are stretching your wings, do reconsider your names and use names that are melodious to the Maori ear. It is a good and difficult task you have been called to do, so be strong. Hold to the saying, ‘Be a man. Be strong.’ The country over which we fly is large and there is an abundance of the fruits of the forest standing here to sustain all of us. Our bird chatters its greetings to the two of you. Yours are the feet that are about to set out while those of your elder brother are feet that are in a hurry. Best wishes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, please load these words onto the wings of our bird for our friends to see. On 21st June, Tahi Kaka was hanged in Auckland. A request was made to the Prime Minister to show compassion and to allow his body to be returned home. This was not permitted by the law. It was perhaps a thought on the part of our forebears who made the laws lest the example be copied. It is not like that now. Maketu murdered Maori and Pakeha and our forebears willingly allowed his hanging. A request was made for his body and that was agreed. He is buried here. The Bishop and his many friends petitioned for Tahi Kaka’s life to be spared and for him to remain in prison until he died. Word came to Ngapuhi to support that petition. We sent a message by telegram to our Acting Prime Minister. The Acting Prime Minister’s answer took the form of a question: ‘Was the murder committed by Tahi Kaka a good thing or a bad thing?’ This was my response: ‘The murder was a terrible thing; that is clear since he himself pointed it out.’ That was the answer to the question.</span></div>

We recall the dead beloved by our old folk and heap up our salutations and gather up our laments for those who have gone to the afterlife. In this fashion we, your chiefly friends, the pillars of men there and here, express our greetings. Go to the Creator in heaven, in the lofty places. Go to the Beginning and the End. That must suffice for them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Led us turn to the time lying before us; the old world has passed and this is a new world with new tasks. You are the young shoot growing up in these days with peace and reconciliation. So my people wished to jump to the place where the sun rises. They had a similar desire to spread abroad what they had heard of your great work to protect your land and your tribe by the farming being undertaken by Ngati Porou. This is the first of the Maori tribes to have set out on the foaming waves of the Pacific. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My hapu had come to grief because they got no compensation and they were waiting to find a way forward. They have found one, which is to bring the people together as a Corporation. It was passed by the Maori Land Court on 24th December, 1910, and the meeting was held at Te Koura railway station. The blocks are Rangitoto Tuhua No. 66a and Rangitoto Tuhua No. Z4, Section 6. They comprise 15,000 acres. This is all that remains of the land from the time of the Commission when the two of you came to Te Kuiti and Otorohanga. Therefore we thought that we should farm these blocks, something the Commission greatly approved of. <b>[4]</b> Rangitoto Tuhua No. 9 comprises 12,000 acres, Rangitoto Tuhua No. 75, 6000 acres, and there is Rangitoto A No. 39 block. Together they comprise 19,000 acres. I have a question for you. Did you or did you not incorporate your land at the beginning and how did you deal with family interests when it came to Maori working as volunteers? So much for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is another question arising from our being strangers when it comes to the works of the corporation. Since the meeting was called on 24 December, 1910, by the Maori Land Court, when can the people start work? Do we choose a chairman for the meeting first and does he appoint the people for the land? Is it a Corporation or a committee? Which? What are the members called at first?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That’s enough, lest we weary you with our lack of clarity about the rules for management. But, my friend, if you are very busy or whatever, don’t bother to reply. But one of the privileges of a leader is to answer questions. You appreciate that you are the parent, there to be questioned by the children, your family. Enough.</span></div>

After this we met together and the message was dispatched to Kingi Karauria, £7/10, and Epanaia at Nuhaka, £3. We were anxious lest that lease be taken by someone else. The message from the Board arrived and we wrote the letter to the Board containing our explanations and our desire that the land and the houses not be taken but that they remain as a landing place for the Maori. The cost of a mooring was £5. I have a copy of that letter. The Board met on 20th and that letter came before it. The money was collected on 6th January – Ekengarangi Hapuku, £1; Ani Heta Kingi, 2/6 – and on 16th, Nopera Waipawa, £1 – a total of £2/5/6 (sic). The reply to the letter arrived on 23rd. The Board’s decision was that all the rates were to be paid, an amount of £3/10/11. Time, a matter of some months, was given for me to negotiate with Parliament or the Minister for Maori Affairs. And so, people, the Petition is going to the Maori Minister for him to consider this problem for the Maori People. I have spent the following amounts on behalf of the Maori for this Reserve at Te Peti: telegrams, 6/-; three days travelling on this business, £1/10; the cost of putting the proposals in the Petition in the appropriate form, £1/1; the payment of the rates, £3/10/11. A total amount of £6/7/11. You should be aware of this generosity towards the Maori. Maori, let me have your contributions for those houses. The day will come when we will realize that my idea was right to collect money to improve the houses and fences.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Flock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Wethers.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have explained in a previous section of our articles that these are male, castrated sheep of the flock, and there is not much to be said for this part of the flock. If a man manages his sheep well, specifically the rams, then the wethers will not remain for long on the land but will be ready for sale or for fattening in the second year when they are two-tooths. Some people try to hold on to their wethers until they are adults because they like the wool; they are sheep that produce wool. But I think that this is a waste of the pasture on the land and more money is forthcoming if they are sold as two-tooth wethers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me explain those words of mine. Let us say that there are 500 wether lambs in a flock. In the second year they are shorn and, let us say, the wool from each sheep fetches 4/-. Those sheep are sold when they are not yet fat for, let us say, 9/- each. If they are fat they may fetch 12/- each – that amounts to 13/- or 16/- if they are fat. The following year the two-tooth wethers are sold at similar prices. The total amount realized is £650 if they are thin or £800 if they are fat. Now if those 500 sheep are kept until they are four-tooths then the amount realised will be:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The wool when they are two-tooths 4/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The wool when they are four-tooths 7/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The body when it is a four-tooth 11/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sold when they are no yet fat 22/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If they are sold when they are fat </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">one can add to the above 2/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So for one head of sheep the total is 24/-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So for the 500 sheep one gets £550 or £600.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sheep farmers have given much thought to this matter and have realised that it is better to raise the [ewe] lambs and to get rid of the wethers when they are two-tooths to free up the land for the lambs and to be able to increase the number of ewes for breeding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since these sheep, the wethers, are being removed quickly from the land as a way of raising money, it is right to put them on the parts of the land that have plenty of pasture so that they do not go backwards in their growth but quickly increase in size and weight. If the wethers are fat when they are two-tooths the price received for them will be close to that of older fattened wethers. That is because the fat wethers are slaughtered for freezing and sent to England. The price paid for fat sheep there depends on weight; if it reaches fifty-five pounds it is first class and this class fetches the high price. If it is heavier the increase in price for each pound gets smaller. Therefore it is right to say that the price received for sheep of a fixed size will be the same as that for very heavy sheep. If a man decides to wait until his wethers are four-tooths and fattened, he will not be inclined to fatten the two-tooths and he will waste a year’s grass.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will be explaining here some practices for fattening sheep, but it is appropriate to deal with that under a separate heading later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Ewes, the Mothers of the Flock.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the seeds, and it is right that the owner of the flock give most attention to these sheep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of these explanations apply to established flocks of sheep that have been a long time growing and where the land has been improved and where there is fencing. When the land is being improved to grow grasses the number of sheep will not be established, or the fencing determined, and the owner will not be giving much thought to the flock and the condition of his sheep or to the various parts of the flock. At this stage the work will go ahead in an ad hoc way with the sheep being put temporarily onto new areas of ground because the grass is not yet established and perhaps to kill the fern; it may even be a new garden plot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now the foundation of the flock is the ewes; they are the seeds. The man must give much thought to acquiring good seed at the time when his land has been improved and made ready as a permanent place to put his flock on. He must aspire to buy good ewes from other flocks of the breed he desires. Now, a person who owns sheep will not be so foolish as to let his best sheep go but will select the bad sheep to get rid of. Therefore let the buyer beware. The good sheep to buy will have a full set of teeth, that is, eight teeth for a five-year-old, because it may not be because it is bad, that this sheep is being allowed to go, but because it is very old, and the land is full of young sheep. <b>[6] </b> Those are ewes which were acquired when selection was being made when they were two-tooths, or four-tooths, or six-tooths, and because they were good they were kept, and if a man acquires such sheep he is getting good sheep from that flock to form a good basis for his flock. Some good ewes to buy are two-tooths but look around at the two-tooths in the reputable flocks of your district. If the two-tooths were good they would have many years in the flock to bear lambs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the skills of rearing sheep is choosing the ewes for mating, and also choosing the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r</span>ams suitable for them. A man has to bear in mind many things when he is choosing his mating ewes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us say that the land is covered with sheep. Some are being drafted out and sold each year. Those sheep are being kept which it is known will survive given the available food and the cold. Let us say that two thousand sheep are retained. In that case the number of breeding ewes should be one thousand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of a new year one must start to think about how many ewes are to be tupped. We ascertain the number of each kind of sheep when they are shorn. Say there are 900 lambs, 800 hoggets, 900 ewes that gave birth, 100 barren ewes, 200 wethers, and 30 rams – a total of 2,930. It is clear from this that 900 sheep must be disposed of. The wethers and the barren ewes are to be sold – that is 300 to be disposed of. The hoggets are inspected and the ewes amongst them are separated out and also the wethers – there are perhaps 480 ewes and 420 wethers. These 480 ewes are put with the 900 ewes that have given birth, making a total of 1,380. Since 1000 of these are being kept it is obvious that the number of these to be disposed of, those not to be mated, is 380.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is clear that 380 of the 1380 ewes are to be discarded and one must begin choosing. Begin with those with a full mouth of teeth and exclude all those with some broken teeth, writing down the number of them. Afterwards deal with those with a full set of teeth, then with the six-tooths, and then with the four-tooths. At this point the task becomes difficult; the inspection takes a long time as does the choosing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have come to the point in the task where the owner of the flock has to choose between the good sheep and the bad sheep, and also discern the sheep that are not very good. He will be able to do this if he keeps in mind an example, the qualities, of the very best of the breed of sheep he is raising, whether they be Lincolns, Half-breeds, or Romneys. These are those qualities: A sheep with vibrant and plentiful wool with good strands; the wool on each part of the body (except for the throat and perhaps the belly) is the same, there is no strong difference between the wool on the shoulders and the wool on the back or on the [?<i>peeke</i> sic - ?limbs]; the body and its extremities should be full of wool, that is, there should be few places without wool. It is good that the overhanging wool on the throat should go from the ears of the sheep and up perhaps to the cheeks; it should go down and hang from the legs - it should even be as close as possible to the knee joints; the belly should be full of wool with a long staple. If these parts, the edges and the extremities, are full of the kind of wool the markets will pay for, then that sheep is called a woolly sheep. The wool on the extremities will pay for the cost of shearing and dipping leaving the price fetched by the body wool for the owner of the flock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But it is not only the quantity of the wool that is to be looked at. Look also at the staple. If the strand is straight, or light, or hard, it is bad and will bring in little. It is said that that is not real wool but hairs. There is one kind of wool that is like dogs’ hair. But if the sheep’s wool is twisted and curly that is good. Take care that it is not too short and not very light.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Those are the qualities of the good example. Others are to do with the conformation of its body. This is something which is very difficult to describe in writing. Were the sheep standing in the yard it could easily be pointed out. But I will describe the things that I can write about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The nose and the hoofs of the feet should be black. This is a sign of good health in sheep. Those ewes and others are not good if they have red noses, reddish ears, and are red at the edges of the eyes. It is said that those are signs of weakness. The ears should stand erect. Be wary if the mouth looks like that of a shark when looked at sideways. If the lower jawbone is overshot or the upper jawbone is undershot, that is a shark mouth and that sheep should be removed lest the flock be affected.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The neck of the ewe should be long but it should not be stiffly built; the chest should be broad so that it stands out from the shoulders. In one sheep the neck disappeared between the shoulders. The back should be broad and it should be flat from the shoulders to the sacrum; it is still alright if there is a slight concavity from the shoulders to the sacrum but the back should not be [?<i>korotua</i>]. The body of the sheep from the breast to the [?<i>peke</i>] should be long. The Pakeha say that this is a ‘Hokonui’ sheep, a sheep whose milk gushes out to feed her young so that the young thrive. A sheep with a short body is not a very good adult, but if there are plenty of very good ewes, such a one could be culled. <b>[7]</b> The legs should be large and strong, that is, they should have large bones and be short. Lean sheep with thin legs are bad sheep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After a man has been raising sheep for a long time this ideal becomes fixed in his mind. When it becomes ‘resident’ there choosing becomes easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now this is how one goes about choosing: When the sheep with damaged teeth have been removed, then start with the mature ewe and go on to the four-tooths, ending with the two-tooths. Set apart those ewes which you think are close to the pattern of a good sheep described above. Do not be apprehensive about separating out the sheep which are a long way from that ideal; it may be that they can be brought back if you do not reach the number of good sheep which you think necessary for mating. In this way you will learn to separate your ewes, distinguishing the good breeders from the bad, and your eyes will get accustomed to seeing and your brain to making quick decisions when the sheep are running in the narrow space of the yard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the good four-tooths and the fully mature have been drafted and the numbers are known, one will know whether one should replace with two-tooths those sheep that have been deemed bad, or not. At this stage one makes choices amongst the two-tooth ewes. These are the ewes that are set apart to be tupped, and if the flock has been well-managed in other years these are the kind of sheep that are important to the good performance. The way to go about choosing is simple. Drive a few into a small part of the yard so that they can stand comfortably, and so that they can be made to walk, and so that you can observe them well. Then those sheep that appear to have faults can be taken out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the two-tooths have been drafted, their number is added to that of those ewes that were first selected, and it is clear that these are the good sheep to be mated. It was stated above that a total of 1000 ewes was the number to be mated. Now perhaps one discovers that one has chosen 700 good sheep. One can look again at those sheep that have been drafted out as unsuitable, and take out the best of them to make up the desired number of 300.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One cannot improve the flock on the basis of a single drafting: there is no end to this task of making choices every year, since new lambs are being born and one has to take out some of the older sheep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The end we seek by doing this drafting is that the sheep in the flock are alike, that the staple of the wool is consistent, that the weight of the wool is at the high end of the weight for that breed of sheep, and that the conformation, the quality, and the physical growth of the sheep are right. By this your flock will get a reputation, and some will want to follow your example – or you may provide seed for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have explained, in the part of our article about the rams, the good qualities looked for in rams. And we have explained here the good qualities of ewes. Now, if the ram is good, if the ewe is good, and if the land and the feed for them is good, only a calamity can affect a person having those things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Caring for the Ewes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The wethers of the flock are the sheep which will stay only a short time on the land. But the good ewes will stay right until the time they are five-year-olds, that is, they stay on the land and those five years are called the years in which they bear young. If they are well looked after they will reach the end of their allotted time. Therefore it was thought best to put the ewes on the healthy part of the land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, this is a skill required in working with sheep – the placing of the flock, its allocation to different parts of the farm. This cannot be done if there are not separate paddocks. The practice is to have the ewe paddocks in places facing the sun so that they will be warm in winter. That also is the place where the ewes will get pregnant and the lambs will be born. Now, although there may be plenty of food on cold land the sheep on it will not thrive as much as the sheep in warm places where there is less food. When the land is being developed careful thought should be given to the boundaries of the ewe paddocks. Those paddocks should be put in places that face the sun, that is, facing the north.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From the middle of February right up to the time they are shorn, let us say until the last days of November until the last days of December, the ewes should be disturbed as little as possible. The times when one can disturb them is when they are docked, that is, when the dirt on their bottoms is being removed, and when the lambs are being separated. We will give explanations of these jobs later. The important thing is to keep a watch on the ewes, on the condition of the grazing on the land, and on their health. A man should think of his ewes in this way for they are the most precious part of his flock; theirs is the wool that bring in the high price, they bear the young, and it is the number and the health of those young that enables him to sell many sheep while having different sheep to replace them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When they landed there was weeping and those other rites. The food from the <i>Tete</i> canoe which carried the offerings was presented. It was pointed out with the hands and by the raising of eyebrows. It was given to the chief and the people of the marae along with the gifts. These gifts and the food are known as <i>‘whakahoki roimata’</i> – ‘a return of tears’. When the food was cooked it was cut up for the tohunga by the chiefly women, the girls or the grandchildren; the place where they sat was separate and known as a <i>‘Pure’</i> – ‘a place for the removal of tapu’. All the food given was known as a <i>‘Puru-waha mo te kapumata’</i> – ‘a cramming of the mouth for the [?<i>kapumata</i>]’. The chiefly woman, the girls or the grandchildren took the branches and leaves that had been placed around the earth oven and went with the tohunga. When they arrived at the window of the big house or the carved house, the branches and leaves were placed on the window; they were taken up again and struck against the entrance to the house; then they were placed on the sill of the sliding door of the house. The woman took the food, mashed it, and fed it to the tohunga. The tohunga stood and said an incantation, the woman entered the house where food was eaten and then came outside to the places which had been set apart by the people, to eat there. When that was done the local people set about decorating the house with mats. The visitor and the local people entered, happy that they had survived those awesome <i>tapu</i>. The purpose of his journey being fulfilled the visitor returned to his village.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is another saying about the <i>Tete</i> canoe: it is about an ignorant man who was associated with the <i>Tete </i>canoe. There was a man who thought of himself as important and who was exalted within his hapu. He went to the house of the leading chief of the tribe. The chief greeted him and they wept together. Then he asked, ‘What brings you here to this place? Tell me.’ The man replied, ‘I have come to you to get your daughter for my son. The man looked intently and looked away, then replied:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Well then! Chief, your food is speaking, flashing from within your mouth.’ The chief is a warrior. He tells his warriors not to let his weapons be taken by other warriors: ‘There is smoke when the burning pieces of wood on the fire come together; the skull is the storehouse of anger; I speak, I speak, friend, to the brave men who wield my weapons telling them not to let them fall into the hands of other warriors.’ Then he turned to the enemy. There were spears aimed at his stomach, two or three perhaps. He parried them over his shoulder and grasped them. The warriors set to and defeated and dispersed the party. They attacked the chief of that fleeing war party. They were calling out to him to turn around, This chief turned around and engaged in hand to hand conflict. He was defeated and this was the defeat which led to them being scattered. Then the low-born, the people of low degree, and the food carriers set about striking them. He said, ‘The back of the head can be struck as if it were an ebbing tide.’ But the pressure of battle was different for the chief and for the warriors. These warriors were all chiefs as were his six or seven children, his younger and older brothers, or cousins. That’s enough, my friends, Kaipo and Mahuika. Best wishes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. If it pleases you, send out this article. If you don’t like it, that is alright. I have seen the article by Mohi Turei in Te Pipi, Number 155. What Henare Mahuika of Waiomatatini tells people about this word <i>Tete</i> is right; it is in line with the explanations from the past which have been passed down to subsequent generations. The <i>Tete </i>came out of the mouth of a man. As to the meaning, the two of you give the same origin – the word that came out of the mouth was <i>Tete</i>. Now, because the mouth of the man did not know what the thing was, God made the bird and tossed it onto the waters. When he saw how well the bird paddled its canoe he gave it a voice and the bird chanted to the sound of the paddles, <i>‘Tete! Tete!’</i> He saw that it was good and he called the man to give it a name and the man gave it names: the wings he called <i>‘parirau’</i> [wing], the body, a <i>‘waka’</i> [canoe, box], the voice, a <i>‘tete’</i>, and the red, a <i>‘kura’</i> [red feathers, treasure]. <b>[9]</b> Now, God had completed a canoe, a voice, and a treasure. When these are combined one gets the name <i>‘Parera tawaka’</i> [grey duck] and <i>‘Tete-kura’</i>. If you split these up you get many parts. Enough of that. Now, when men made the canoe they took the pattern from God’s canoe – the voice, the feathers, the bird. When it was finished they gave it the names <i>‘Waka taua’</i> [war canoe], <i>‘Pitau’</i> [carved figurehead canoe], and <i>‘Tete’</i>. The War Canoe was the c<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">entr</span>e of battle, the Carved Figurehead Canoe was for snatching, and the <i>Tete</i> was for the food. Its carving was different from that of others. It was like a bird. If the canoe went into the waves it dived like a bird so that the carving went under. So it was likened to a man. Consequently its names were given to men. The leading chief amongst the people is called a <i>‘Waka taua’</i> [war canoe]; he is the one who embodies the status of the tribe and other people. Now, if that man dies, the things said of him draw on the features of the canoes, such as, ‘Farewell to the war canoe, to the embodiment of our status; farewell to the mooring post of the canoes, to the beloved of the tribe.’ After that a song is sung. 'This canoe has been broken.' These are the things said by the talking chiefs: they speak of <i>‘Kahu-kiwi’</i> [cape covered with kiwi feathers], <i>‘Kahu-kura’</i> [coarse flax cape coloured with red ochre], [?<i>Arei-kura</i>], and other <i>‘kura’</i> which paddle on their canoe, <i>‘Tete-kura’</i>. The final word is an <i>‘o’</i> [a provision for the journey], that is, a <i>‘Mauri’</i> [a class of incantation]. ‘A tete dies, a tete rises.’ That saying gives rise to recollections. The eggs of the duck emerge one at a time. This proverb has two aspects, as follows: a <i>‘tete’</i> falls, a <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">treasure</span> falls into the bracken. It is like those proverbs which take things and liken them to a person.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A STRONG MAN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A warrior is a man with a sturdy body. He is thoughtful, and very capable. The name of warrior is not properly given to a person with a weak body. But there is a man with a weak body who could rightly be said to be a strong man, a warrior. Although this name of warrior is only given to a person who wields weapons, even so it is right that this man is called by that name because he wields today’s weapons against the authorities in high places. This man is an invalid, lying on his bed. Someone wheels him to the places he wants to go to. He suffers from soft bones in his hands and feet. He cannot move his hands and his feet. He is not able to lift a piece of bread to his mouth or to lift up a book so that he can read. People feed him and do all that is required for the well-being of his body. That is where his illness ends, for his brain perceives very clearly the things that have to be done. This man was a leading figure in the shipyards that built warships in London. Formerly London was the place where warships were built; now the work has ceased there and is done in other towns in England. This invalid occupies himself in writing letters to the Government criticizing the allocation for the building of warships to other towns only and not to London. He says that London is the city with the most unemployed people and that therefore some of the contracts for building warships should remain there to provide work for those people so that they might live. The owners of other ship building establishments are angry with him because if part of their work is returned to London they will be losers. They fight over this matter while most other people see the justice of this invalid’s case. Last year he asked the Government to allow him to build one of the new ships, and they agreed. That warship has been finished. It is one of the largest and is called the Thunderer. Although he has not seen that warship, he knows every detail of its construction. He it was who designed the construction of everything. He has many secretaries to write down what he says and his instructions about the design of each part. Once again the Government has received his request to be given another to build. This man has been afflicted by his illness for a long time but he has not become despondent because of the onslaught of his illness. No detailed account of world events escapes him; he knows about all the major doings in the world; he has read all the informative books that have been written. He knows all the workings of the warship so that he has only to dictate the manner of construction of each part for the secretaries to write down and send to the workers. The mental ability of this man is amazing, like that of a fit man. It is good that we should know of the work <b>[10]</b> of such people, and that we think that if this invalid has achieved these great works, could we not also do what we have to do if we showed the same commitment as his.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The papers inform us that the Government of England has appointed Lord Kitchener to be Governor of Egypt. Lord Kitchener was chosen for this position because of his knowledge of that land and for his management skills. The Governor of Egypt was Mr Gorst, a son of Mr Gorst of New Zealand. Mr Gorst died this month while still in Egypt. This land has not come fully under the rule of England but still has its own independence. The position of England is one of guide. When the Egyptian Government gave over the administration to England it was to ensure [11] that it did what was right and the administration and the well-being of the people are very good. Over the last few years the Egyptians have become increasingly spiteful towards England with the result that the status of England has declined in that country. When Mr Gorst died, the English Government decided that there was no better man than Lord Kitchener to set right the running of Egypt and to restore the good name of England amongst the Egyptians.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This man, Kitchener, was formerly a Land Surveyor. He was sent with others to survey the countries of the East, that is, Egypt and Palestine. This is why he knows the peoples of those lands. When he participated in the fighting his courage was seen. When the time came that General Gordon was killed to the south of Egypt, Kitchener was chosen as the right man to avenge Gordon’s death, knowing, as he did, the land and its peoples. There was great joy when the news arrived that Kitchener had defeated the Arabs to the south of Egypt. For this work he was made a Lord, He was styled Lord Kitchener of Khartoum. This was the place where Gordon was killed. He was made administrator of that area and his good qualities were seen. Because of his knowledge of the land of Egypt he was chosen to run Egypt at this time. So in these times we shall see his ability to direct people in a period of peace as well as in a period of war.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings to you and your Bird. May we all prosper under the many blessings of our Lord. Bird, this is a load for you to carry to the marae you land on in many places, and it is a greeting to my friends who drink alcohol. My friends, greetings. It is the case that the adze has struck at the roots of the tree, and this is why my heart welcomes the statement from the Maori Group of the New World that we should do away with that ‘food’, liquor. I, your humble servant in this place, set down my thoughts on the objectives published by our friends and by the learned people of the world. Now, my friends, I grew up in the midst of this evil ‘food’ and have experienced all its effects, and there is nothing good about what I did when involved with that ‘food’; all the afflictions spoken of by our wise men have happened to my body. Since 1909 I have carefully separated myself from that food as a way of nourishing my body, therefore I pray you to have the one thought in the days that stand before us, and that is to prohibit, to do away with that evil spirit. There is no life for our bodies or our spirits to be found in that ‘food’. And let us set about sanctifying our bodies, as is said, to be a dwelling-place for Christ, to be the child of God, to be fit to live in the kingdom of heaven. My friends, we have entered now into the practices and the ways of the new world so seek real life both for the body and the soul in these days. Don’t worry about feeding our Pakeha friends, the hotel owners, but let us set about nourishing our own bodies, so that they are like those we nurture. If we are stout-hearted then we shall see the fruits that emerge from our industry. I end my words here. From your friend of past days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My friend, greetings. This is a notice about Tuhoe’s collection for Hukarere College. Bird, load up these words onto your wings for you to carry to all parts of Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu. I returned from the Ngati Porou Hui at Wai-o-matatini on 15th March. When I got to Ruatoki I asked Tuhoe to consider collecting money to help Hukarere School. Tuhoe agreed to my idea. At the time I was collecting people were having difficulty in contributing their pennies. When I saw how difficult it was I went to the Pakeha side for their help with our collection and found that we had the same desire. This is the amount collected, £16. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Notification has been received of those honoured by King George V. Amongst those honoured is Timi Kara. We are delighted by this honour conferred on Timi; delighted for him personally and delighted for his Maori people. His being given this honour shows us how the King approves of what he has done for the well-being of the people. We also see that the King thinks not only of honouring Pakeha but people of all races under him who are working for the good of all. Timi is the first Maori to receive this honour, therefore it means a great deal to him and also to the people. However although he now has the title ‘Sir’ before his name, and the title ‘Lady’ before that of his wife, we will not stop calling them Timi and Materoa.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a>Although these are brief titles and appear to be titles without honour, they bring great honour to the people as a whole. Our heartfelt hope is that he may live long to bring to conclusion the good projects that he has at heart.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Honourable Timi Kara is from Te Wairoa and belongs to Ngati Kahungunu. His canoe is Takitimu. He was born in Te Wairoa in 1857. He was taught in the Maori school of that time in Te Wairoa and afterwards at the Napier School. When fighting broke out he enlisted as a soldier and he was mentioned amongst the men who distinguished themselves in those encounters. After the fighting he was given £50 by the Government for his part in the fighting. After those encounters he worked as an interpreter, at first independently and subsequently in the Maori Land Court, after which he became an interpreter in Parliament in 1879. <b>[2] </b>In 1884 he stood against Wi Pere for the Tairawhiti electorate but was not elected. In 1887 he defeated Wi Pere and from that time to the present he has had a seat in Parliament. In 1892 he became a member of the Standing Committee of Parliament and when he was elected as Member for the Pakeha electorate of Waiapu he became a Minister of the Crown. From that time to the present he has been a Minister. Twice he has been Acting Prime Minister. Because he has been so long in Parliament, twenty-four years, it is very appropriate that he has been given this honour by the King. Best wishes to Timi Kara and his wife.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The honour that has been given to Timi is an ancient one, begun in 1399 when Henry IV was King. The Pakeha name is ‘Order of the Bath, The Most Honourable.’ In Maori this would be ‘The Order of the Tub, the Most Honourable,’ [Te Tohu o te Taapu, te Mea Tino Honore]. It is said that the Order of the Bath recalls the former custom of a man having to bathe before he was made a Lord. There are three Divisions: the first Division is the GCB, the foremost honour in this Award; the second is the KCB which is the one given to Timi; the third is the CB. This honour is open to the King, the Princes, and great men of Parliament and of the armed forces – at sea or on land. No-one outside these categories is eligible.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Ward was also one of those recognised by the King when Timi Kara was honoured. Mr Ward was made a Lord (Baron). This status is above that of ‘Sir’, and is one that the person may pass on to his descendants. Mr Ward was born in Melbourne in 1856. In 1859 he came with his parents [mother] to New Zealand. When he was thirteen he went to work in the Post Office as a postman. When he was fourteen he was paid £136 a year. He left that position to work in a store. While he was engaged there he was running three newspapers and doing Railways work. At age twenty-one he left that work and set up in commercial business by himself. When he was twenty-two he was made Mayor of Campbelltown, a post he held for five years. At the age of thirty he entered Parliament and five years later was appointed Minister for the Post Office. While Mr Seddon was alive Mr Ward was his deputy and when Mr Seddon died in 1906, Mr Ward was still his deputy. He was a powerful manager of the work of the Post Office. He it was who brought the cost of posting a letter down to one penny. For this work he was made a ‘Sir’ with the award of a KCMG in 1901. Afterwards King Edward VII made him a PC, and the Universities of Scotland and Ireland conferred on him an LLD. Mr Ward has travelled twice to England to attend the large meeting of all the Governments of the realm, and at these two meetings he was one of the leading lights. His fame at the first meeting was furthered by his swiftness in telling the English Government of New Zealand’s desire to pay for a warship to help the Empire. The nations were full of praise for this noble thought on the part of New Zealand. At this meeting he also became known for advocating the establishment of a Parliament to deal with the affairs of the whole Empire – England and all the Dominions. England and all the Dominions were to choose members for this Parliament. People were full of praise for this idea of the Prime Minister of New Zealand, and the newspapers called him a man with a great heart who considered the peoples as a whole. For these activities the King has seen fit to confer this honour on him. The hope of this humble servant is that Mr Ward will retain his ‘great heart’ in running the land of his calling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The name Hauhau is no longer the appropriate name for those sections of the Maori People who alienate the Pakeha. It is more than 40 years since the practices of the Hauhau were left behind when the falsity of what was maintained was realized. That is what saved the Maori People.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was formerly said that Horopapera Te Ua was the founder of the Hauhau religion. But the true founder was a different man called Patara. That man was a Government policeman before, a man who knew English.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Ua was an old man and confused in his mind. In 1864 he gave voice to some strange thoughts. Patara said that he knew the meaning of those words and that what Te Ua uttered was a message of God to the Maori People. Faith in Christ was for Pakeha only and did not apply to Maori. In this way these messages were presented to Maori. It was perhaps an effort on the part of Patara to get the Maori People to forsake the teachings of Christ and not to have second thoughts about fighting the Pakeha. Some of Waikato, those who had joined in the fighting at Waitara, adopted that new way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the end of 1864, a message was received from some of Te Ua’s messengers, called a <i>‘Tiu’</i>, that they were going to some places to explain God’s new word to the people. Two parties came to the Tai Rawhiti; that of Patara directly to Opotiki and the other made its way by way of Waikaremoana to Te Wairoa and Turanga. The home of the clergyman, Mr Volkner, was amongst Te Whakatohea at Opotiki. He was returning from Auckland bringing medicine and other things to heal the sick of Te Whakatohea who were suffering from fever. When Patara and his party arrived at Opotiki, he said that if he came across Mr Volkner there he would kill him; he would cut off his head and take the head to Te Ua in Taranaki. Te Whakatohea were beguiled by his deceitful sayings and were dazed and so were quick to agree to the instructions of Patara and his companions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the boat arrived at Opotiki with Mr Volkner and Mr Grace on board, Patara had gone to Torere to try to get Wiremu Kingi and his tribe to join him. He left Keropa in charge after he had gone. Kereopa said to Te Whakatohea, ‘God says to kill one of the Pakeha ministers.’ They said, ‘That’s not for us to do.’ Kereopa said again, ‘God says, it is your responsibility, however you must agree.’ When they declined he said, ‘That’s that.’ Then Mr Volkner was carried away and strangled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Patara returned to Opotiki he pretended to disapprove of what Kereopa had done; still, it was he who said that if he came across Mr Volkner he would kill him and take his head to Te Ua.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the death of Mr Volkner, Patara and his party went to Turanga saying that he would drive the Pakeha there into the sea; only the Jews would be left; and all the ministers would be cut asunder. He had not been long in Turanga when the other party arrived by way of Te Wairoa. When they gathered at Patutahi they began a lament, and Patara said, ‘This is a lamentation for the people who stand naked, for the land that stands at a turning point.’ The local people grieved there and afterwards Te Whanau a Kai and most of Te Aitanga a Mahaki joined the Hauhau.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The worship of the Hauhau consisted of going around their <i>‘Niu’</i> [pole] from which hung the flags, <i>‘Riki’</i> and <i>‘Rara’</i>, while saying some meaningless words. One of those words was <i>‘pai marire’</i> [good and peaceful] as if it were a Latin word from one of the Roman Catholic Prayer Books. Their religious observances ended with the words, <i>‘Rire, Rire, Hau, Hau’</i>. Perhaps it is from this that they are called Hauhau. Their own name for their religion is <i>‘Paimarire’</i>, a word spoken by Te Ua.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of the Hauhau are stupefied and are quick to listen to breathed instructions when they are fighting. Another of the teachings of Patara and the others is that one has only to stretch out one’s bare hand and the bullets from the soldiers’ guns will not come near but will fall to the ground. This was tested at some of the fighting at Waitara and Waerenga-a-hika, too. He may have stretched out his hand but the man was still laid low by the bullet. This is why this Hauhau religion was abandoned. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was a time when the glory of the Kingdom of England was seen, and that of the capital city of the Kingdom, London. It is autumn in England, a time when the land still has decorative materials. The streets and all the buildings of the main town of the Kingdom are covered with all the kinds of decorations that the mind of man can conceive. The Managing Committee began to make all kinds of things to beautify the city, which were seen by the unaccustomed eyes of the millions of people from the many countries of the world. A journey to see the city of London was one major reason why so many people went, and also to see its decorations at this time of great celebration. All sorts of people could be seen there: Kings from afar in their glorious robes, and the soldiers who guarded them; Princes; Dukes; Marquises; Lords and other people of rank of the Pakeha; each of them wearing the robes and insignia appropriate to their rank. There were also the leaders of the people with their insignia; the Governors; the Prime Ministers of the colonies with their insignia; the military Generals; the Admirals of the navy with their insignia; soldiers and sailors in the fighting forces of the King; each calling with their uniforms, to be seen by the visitor. And over all these was the person who was the reason we were seeing all these things. These were the things that had drawn wealthy people from all parts of the world to London to see the glory of this world. There was also another remarkable thing to be seen by the stranger’s eye – all of England’s fighting ships come together. This was after the Coronation. Those who saw the American warships know how magnificent these things are, but they fall into insignificance, for words fail us to describe this display. It is not possible to describe fully the many things that were to be seen in London.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Early in the morning people began to come to the streets by which the King would travel, to get a good view, and by the time the sun was up there was not a free space – from the tops of the buildings to the roads on which people were to travel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Twenty Princes from foreign countries had come to celebrate the King’s Coronation Day. They were going to the King’s great Church, Westminster Abbey. The princes and kings of the nations were in front, after came the princes of the Royal Household of England, after them came the King’s family – only they were in their coaches, and after them came the coach of the King and Queen. Their escorts were Lord Kitchener, the Duke of Connaught and his son, the Prince of Connaught – the Duke is a younger brother of Edward VII. After these came some of the princes and the leading people of England, according to their rank.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Service.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When they arrived at the church the invited people entered – not everyone could get inside. The number of invited people the building can seat is four thousand. By the time the King arrived the building was full. When he arrived with the Queen the service began with the choir singing the psalm – Psalm 122, ‘I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the House of the Lord.’ After the psalm they sat on the seats placed for them. The Archbishop stood in the centre of the building and said, ‘People, I present to you George, the established King of this land. Do you wish to show him honour?’ [Sirs, I here present unto you George, your undoubted King. Wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?] The people answered, ‘Long live King George!’ [God save the King!] The Archbishop asked this four times, turning to the four sides of the building. After this the Litany was sung, the Order for Holy Communion proceeded as far as the sermon, and the Archbishop went to the King and asked him to take the oath in the presence of the people saying, ‘Are you willing to take the oath?’ He replied, ‘I will so do.’ Then the King swore that he would govern the people as prescribed by the law and that he would protect the Church of England. <b>[5]</b> The place the oath was signed was the Holy Table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After taking the oath the King returned and sat on the throne of Edward VII. The Archbishop went and anointed him with oil. The holy oil was poured into a spoon and, using the spoon, the Archbishop poured the oil onto the places to be anointed – his head, his chest, and his hands. These are the words of the Archbishop at the Anointing: ‘We anoint your head (chest, hands) with oil, as was done to the Kings, Priests and Prophets in the days of old.’ After these and other words spoken by the Archbishop, the King knelt before him to be blessed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After that the golden spurs were put on his feet and a sword placed in his hand; that sword was a sign of the faith. The Archbishop had much to say when the sword was given. When the Archbishop ended his words, the King took off the sword and its sheath and laid it on the Altar (Holy Table). He was offering his sword to God. He returned and then one of the Lords of the people went and took the sword in exchange for £5 in money. Then that man carried that sword into the presence of the King; he was the bearer of the sword of faith before the King.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then his royal robes were brought and placed on him. Over all of these was the Golden Cloak. At this time the ring was placed on the little finger of his right hand as a sign of his nobility. After this the Sceptre Cross was placed in his right hand, the sign of his authority, and the Dove Sceptre in his left hand, the sign of justice and mercy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These things being done, the Archbishop went to the Altar to fetch the Golden Crown. Holding the Crown he prayed this prayer: ‘O God, ruler of the saints, we make our prayer and beseech you to bless and sanctify your servant, George, our King. His head has this day been crowned with the Golden Crown, likewise, fill his heart with your many gifts, crown him also with every noble thought, in the name of the everlasting King, Jesus Christ our Lord.’ ["God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth for ever."] At the end of this prayer he took the crown and placed it on the head of the King. At that moment all the electric lights of the church were switched on and the people cried out, ‘Long live the King!’ Before this time no-one in the Abbey was wearing a crown, but when the King put on his crown then all the Lords there put on their coronets, each Lord according to his rank. Then the Archbishop took the Bible and gave it to the King saying: ‘Finally I give you this, the most valuable thing that this world affords.’ The Archbishop’s blessing having been given, the cannons sounded, from outside the Abbey and spreading to all places. At this time the Princes and all the Lords came forward to kiss the cheek and hand of the King as a token of respect. The Archbishop was the first, followed by the Prince of Wales, and the Lords: the senior Duke for the Dukes, the leading Marquis for that class, and similarly for the lesser ranks of Lords below these. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When the King’s part was completed the rites for the Queen took place. This did not take long. When her crown was put on the wives of the Lords also put on their coronets. On the Queen’s return she bowed to the King and he bowed to her. The two of them sat side by side on their thrones, that of the Queen being a little lower. After these things were done the two of them went to take the Lord’s Supper. The King’s offering was a heavy piece of gold – it weighed one pound; that of the Queen was also a piece of gold. After the Supper they went to a room while the choir sang ‘We praise thee O God, We acknowledge thee to be the Lord.’ [Te Deum] When they came out they were wearing different crowns, the ones worn when they travel the streets. They went out to be seen by the people in the streets. The crowds were overjoyed to see them even though they had been waiting nine or ten hours for them to appear. It was remarkable how good and trouble-free the occasion was even though there were thousands of people. This was the end of the day’s activities: the glorious day was left behind to be written about in the papers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One day soon after, the King and Queen and all the leading people there, along with those of the people who were able to, went to see the warships. This was an awe-inspiring occasion. There were 80 (sic) English warships [68 battleships, dreadnoughts, and cruisers] and 89 (sic) destroyers [87 destroyers, torpedo boats and submarines], and 18 foreign warships. The area sea covered by these warships was 18 miles long and 18 miles across. When the King arrived all the battleships fired their guns, a terrifying experience. The whole day was taken up with steamers carrying people up close to this Leviathan of the sea so that they could see their construction and their capabilities.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Despite the articles that have been written, many people say that this ‘food’ is good, it is provided by God and was drunk by Christ. God gave this ‘food’ for human beings. This is the problem with people; they see evil and embrace it – God gave it too. But they do not also consider that God gave them a thoughtful heart to guide them on the way they should take – if it is bad then it will lead them to the thing known to be bad, if good, to the thing that is good. This is a devious way of speaking on the part of people – God gave this ‘food’ for people. This way of speaking also is wrong, like what was said at the beginning of this writing about this ‘food’ being good. Let us then look at this. It is right to say that the potato was given by God; man certainly did not make it. However liquor is made by men and it is not right to say that God gave it to be food for men. It is true that God gave all things, but God gave each thing for its own purpose and not only as food for mankind. God gave both the potato and poison, but both of them were not given as food for mankind – one serves to give life and the other, death. But poison can serve a good purpose in the hands of expert doctors, just like alcohol, and it has been said above that there is poison in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nevertheless, although they have been told it is a poison people still drink it because, according to them, Christ also drank it. Christ says: ‘The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, “Look, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.”’ (Matthew 11.19) He also turned the water into wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. It is true that Christ drank wine, but wine was his drink, not whisky, brandy, rum or beer. Our mistake is to say that the pleasant drink that the Lord enjoyed was like whisky. No-one of the present day would say that lemonade and whisky are the same, and that was the case with wine in former times. But the man who drinks alcohol says that what Christ drank was not called lemonade but wine. That is so, but it is only later that we have many names. One name served for all drinks apart from fresh water in past times and that was ‘wine’. If the drinks we consume now, apart from fresh water, were all called whisky, we would be quick to object because whisky and lemonade are both different. It would not be right to give this name to both of them because whisky is a poison and lemonade is not. Likewise it is wrong to identify all the drinks from the past referred to in the Scriptures as wine. If we think about it we realize that they are not necessarily the same as the wine we know, and we are right. It is right that people get drunk on the wine spoken of in the Scriptures but it is not like the drunkenness caused by alcohol in our day. The making of wine was different in the ancient times, different from how it is made now. In ancient times the juice of the grapes was simply squeezed into a vessel and left to stand, and over that time it turned into wine. The process was the same as that carried out by Maori with <i>tutu</i> juice, but the tutu contained poison while the grapes were not poisonous. The longer the wine stood the stronger it became and if a person drank a lot of this wine they would become drunk, but if it was drunk soon after it was laid down it was a very sweet liquid. This was what the wine in the Scriptures was like. In the account Pharaoh’s cup-bearer gave to Joseph of his dream, he said: ‘In my dream there was a vine before me, and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms came out and the clusters ripened into grapes. Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in the hand of Pharaoh.’ [Genesis 40.9-11] This is what the wine was like that was being drunk in former days; that was how it was made, and no-one was hurt by this wine. Liquor now is made in a different way. The liquors made now are mixed with many Pakeha chemicals to make it strong. Those things strike down people in these days. That is what wine is like these days compared with that in the past. It is said that a man could get drunk on wine in the past but it was wine that was allowed to stand for a long time that acted in that way. Let us not mistakenly think that all wine in the past would make one drunk: there was one wine that would intoxicate but there was another sweet wine that was the people’s main drink. They were as different as whisky is from lemonade. By calling them both wine we give the wrong impression.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Wine of Canaan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The land of Canaan was a land of vines. When Jacob blessed Judah he said that ‘he ties his foal to the vine and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he washes his garments in wine and his robe in the blood of grapes’. [Genesis 49.11] When Moses’ spies arrived in the land they saw the extensive vines, and they cut off one cluster of grapes on a branch, and it took two men to carry it, and they called that place Eshcol. This is the reason why wine is spoken of so much in the Scriptures – it was the people’s main drink. Of all the peoples in the world no people is like the Jewish nation for the absence of drunkenness. This is a remarkable thing, but it is true. Had liquor been spoken of in Scripture as the main drink of the Jews then we would be inclined to think that they were an extremely drunken people because that was their sustenance, their blood was full of wine, and it was the sustenance of their ancestors [?<i>mai o tuaki po</i> - ?from the dark ages] up to the present day. No, the Jews were not a drunken people because their wine was not liquor – whisky, brandy, rum or beer. Let us remember also that of the wine made by people not a good word is spoken of the wine that makes people drunk in the Scriptures, rather wine was the drink that sustained people. Of the wine that makes drunk it is said, ‘it is the spittle of dragons, the deceitful spittle of the asps’ [Deuteronomy 32.33], while of the good wine it is said, ‘my wine which cheereth God and man’ [Judges 9.13]. Intoxicating wine is not spoken well of in the Scriptures – See Proverbs 20.1, 23.30-31, Isaiah 5.11.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These are the wines spoken of in Scripture and even though the bad wine caused problems it was not like the liquor drunk now. Look at the Jews, the descendants of the people who drank the wine in the Scriptures, they are thriving; and look at the people who have become addicted to the liquor that is like the [intoxicating] wine of former times, they suffer greatly. Perhaps we now understand and will not bring in the wine of the Scriptures and liken it to the poison being drunk these days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That completes this side of the story. Now let us relate it to Christ. A person should ask in his heart this question: ‘Given the extent of the evil consequences brought upon people by this ‘food’, liquor, would Christ vote for its continuing sale were he here now?’ There can be no alternative answer to this question. If he was in this world he would vote for its prohibition. That is because it was his principle to cut out the root of wrongdoing. He says, ‘If your right hand sins, cut it off and throw it away ...’ [Matthew 5.30] He also says, ‘No-one can serve two masters …’ [Matthew 6.24]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although the accounts in Scripture are clear, there are those who say that liquor is good because it delivers a lot of money to the Government with which it carries out its large projects for the benefit of the whole nation. Such talk appears to come from someone seeking a reason to support what is wrong. We have finished pointing out, and everyone knows, that this ‘food’ is bad, and although the Government benefits from it, that is no good reason to support this evil ‘food’. The money that drink provides for the Government is a blood payment and it would, rather, be good were the Government to wash its hands of this thing. But it is true that a lot of money comes to the Government from drink but it pays a high price for that money. The figures we print here show us the amount of money raised for the people and the cost of that money. These figures are for the year 1906. Since we don’t have figures for recent years these are the ones we must look at. The name for this money is ‘Revenue’.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Such were the words of Gladstone about the Revenue. He was the famous Prime Minister of England in recent years. He received a petition from some manufacturers of alcoholic drinks who spoke about the revenue. Whereupon he said, ‘My friends, do not be sad about the revenue. The revenue will not serve to prevent the evil. Were this drink which befuddles men’s minds to disappear, I know very well how to raise revenue.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One good think to show us the evil of consuming alcohol is to compare its outcomes with those of other human activities. Consider two men. Each of them was paid £3 a week. One of them went to the draper’s shop and the grocery and spent his money there. The owners of those stores benefited from the sale of their goods, and that man and his family benefited from the goods. His £3 provided two lots of value. The second man went to the hotel and spent his money there. The owner of the hotel got the cost of his liquor, while the person whose money it was got a hangover and his family got nothing. Only one lot of value was provided by that £3. Which was best?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let us look again. An English MP, Mr Burt, says: ‘If £10 is spent on clothing, the manufacturing of those clothes will have cost £6; for chairs and other household articles, £5 10/- will have gone into the manufacturing; if £10 is spent on shoes, £4 15/- will have gone into the manufacturing; if £10 is spent on beer, it will have cost 11/3; 1/8 would be the cost of making the [same value of] whisky.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The British Board of Trade Report contains the following statement: ‘Of the £100 paid for coal, £55 is the cost of producing it; if the same amount was paid for building a ship, £37 would go to the workers; in the case of constructing railways, £30 would go to the workers; but if that money was expended on alcohol, only £7 would go to the workers.’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So then, this is the killer thing. The man who drinks it suffers, his family suffers, the people suffer. The people suffer two losses, the loss of money and the loss of men. The only person who survives alcohol is the one who firmly rejects it. Compare it then to coal. ‘A’ goes to buy coal for himself and pays £100. Of that £100, £55 will go to the ones who produced that coal, and £45 to the people who owned that coal. ‘A’ and his family will benefit from that coal for a long time. ‘E’ goes to buy beer. It costs £100. Of that £100 , £7 goes to the workers, and £93 to those who own the beer. What ‘E’ and his family get is suffering. ‘H’ goes to buy whisky which costs £100. Of that amount 16/8 goes to the workers, and £99/3/4 to the owners, and ‘H’ and his family get to suffer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What About the Taxes?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not be fooled by the idea of the taxes. Leave that side of things for the taxes and the Government to worry about. Many places in New Zealand have prohibited alcohol and the taxes in those places have not gone up. They have not gone up, rather they have gone down. We have shown in the above statements about the revenue that more Government money goes to addressing problems caused by liquor than is raised from alcohol. If there is no liquor there is no revenue, but a great deal more money remains for the Government. Since the person retains the money that would have gone on liquor he can buy many worthwhile things – shoes, clothes, food, and other things. There are taxes on all these things. The more a person buys the more the Government receives from the taxes on those things. Consider this too. Let us say that for every shilling spent on shoes, 1d goes to tax. If a man drinks and if he spends £2 on shoes, of that money 40d, i.e. 3/4 goes to tax. If he gives up drink and is able to spend £6 a year on shoes, the tax derived from that expenditure is 10/-, so the Government wins 6/8 on shoes when liquor is absent. It is the same with other taxes. What happens rather is that the Government can reduce the taxes on these things because it is taking in more. This is what taxation would be like if liquor were to be prohibited.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are more and more things that could be said about liquor, jarring people’s ears, but that is enough – our wishes are satisfied with these. People, we’ve seen how folk are hurt by liquor, and how it bears no fruits, so let us not be fooled when the time comes to vote but make every effort to prohibit it, and weaken its battle against us. It will not be weakened if nothing is written about it in papers; no accounts have been able to irritate our ears like these written above. To point out the benefit of prohibiting alcohol, we have printed below the figures from the town of Masterton in the Wairarapa, a town which at the last vote prohibited alcohol. <b>[11]</b> We see the evil that comes from retaining the sale of alcohol. Let us look at the outcome of prohibition so that we know what is good and what is bad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(1) If under Section 46 of the Amendment to the Law on the Sale of Liquor, 1910, a majority of Maori voted against the provision of liquor to them, would Maori have to stop going into building where liquor is sold?</span></div>

The Maori incur no punishment, nor are they liable for the expenses incurred by the <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">probation</span> people, because all that has happened is that they have been given liquor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">DOING AWAY WITH ALCOHOL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 21st November, 1910, the Government passed a new Act dealing with the Alcohol Referendum. Section 46 of that Act says that Maori may vote on the issue of alcohol, but that that vote is to take place in the Council Districts, and that the Council must pay all the expenses of the vote. This law is framed to deal with Maori consumption, but with regard to hotels it is skewed. If the Horouta Council holds a vote and it is found that most people want an end to the consumption of alcohol, then that will bring to an end the consumption of alcohol by the Maori in that district but the hotels will remain.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But some of those hotels will not remain because their livelihood depends on Maori, they cannot survive on the Pakeha alone, and therefore the outcome of the Horouta vote would be the closure of those hotels. Not much is being said about the implementation of this Act; it is the Government’s responsibility to publish the information so that all the districts are informed. The articles in this paper point out the evils of this drink and the good that would follow its prohibition, and urge the people to be quick to do away with this disgusting drink when they vote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although this Act which has been given to us does not do all that our hearts desired, on the contrary, it does not completely abolish it. Many things were desired to bring us in line with the Pakeha, but the people at the Wellington Hui in 1908 said that that was not possible because individual Maori members were opposed to that. The difficulty with this Act is the continued existence of hotels which tempt those who want that drink. That is indeed the case, but that is not the main issue, because all Maori would be forbidden. That is better than the prohibition of an individual: the one who was prohibited would see his friends going to drink and the dryness of his throat and the desire of his heart would draw him in. So we have the situation that, since the prohibition applies to all, those things would not be there as an enticement. We all of us agree that ‘shouting’ is the practice which aggravates the drinking of alcohol; if there was no ‘shouting’ drinking alcohol would be like drinking water. By this Act all these things have been done away with, and although the building is still there it has no power to enslave a man’s thoughts. If we agree to bring and end to our drinking of alcohol, it is only the drinking which will cease; the hotels will still be open to us for sleeping and for food, only the place where alcohol is sold will be closed to us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Alcohol as a drink is not a beautiful drink. Many people say that alcohol in itself is alright, it is rather people who abuse it, as is the case with the consumption of other foods – if it is drunk recklessly a person suffers. Such talk is wrong. If a man eating potatoes exceeds the appropriate amount then his stomach will suffer. But it is only his stomach that will suffer: his legs will not carry him astray into the water, or to lie amongst the blackberry bushes; his brain will not become befuddled nor will his mouth utter foul words nor will his heart want to do disgusting things. Alcohol is the only food that has such effects on a person because it is not like the other foods we humans eat. Alcohol is a poison, this is why it is like this. <b>[2]</b> Other foods people eat are not poisonous which is why this is not comparable with non-poisonous foods. Alcohol is always harmful, Unlike other foods which may have a bad effect on an individual, it is bad in other ways. One reason why this food is condemned is that it alone is a food which creates its own craving for itself. However a man eats bread his heart is not set on fire with a continual desire for that bread. The same applies to potatoes, to meat, to kumara and other foods – to all except alcohol. This alone is the food which ignites the craving for itself, it is the Tihi-o-Manono [the house of Poporokewa burnt by Whakatau-potiki] consumed by whatever. This alone is the food which continually calls out, ‘Give me more, more, more,’ without ceasing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Alcohol is condemned because it is a poison. This is the opinion of the wise doctors of the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sir Andrew Clark, MD, says that alcohol consumed by people in beer is a poison. It is as effective as all other poisons (strychnine, arsenic and opium).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sir B W Richardson, MD, FRS, says that it does a person no good to drink alcohol; there is not the smallest thing in it to further the growth of a person’s body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many expert doctors support the above statement by Dr Richardson. Indeed we print below the declarations of a doctor about the nature of alcohol. This doctor – his name is G E Halstead – says that if one compare a glass of milk and a glass of beer we find that the contents of the milk are far better at nourishing the body than those of the beer. This is his analysis of the milk and the beer which reveals how much more nutritious the one is than the other. The analysis is not easily rendered into the Maori language so it has been left in English for those who understand it to read:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dr Legendre says that the alcohol in a person’s body attacks the things that sustain his body, namely, the liver, the stomach, the heart, the kidneys, and the brain. So from the doctors we see that there is poison in beer, and that poison ignites the desire to keep on drinking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The worst effect of alcohol is that the person who finds it pleasurable cannot give it up. Many who drink this drink agree that it is bad; they are gratuitously attacked by people, they sleep amongst filth or in the blackberry bushes, or they suffer injuries through falling off their horses. Were these indeed the only bad effects of drink that would be very good, his body is being punished and the man himself should have known better. But we know that these are not the only ill-effects of drinking, and those who say that such are the only bad effects of alcohol are people without pity, with parched hearts. A man is good when he has no beer inside him, he is peaceful, he is affectionate, but when he gets to the source of his drink and has two or three glasses he becomes loquacious. He is like a bird beginning to sing when it puffs out its throat and flaps its wings, but the bird, when it opens its throat to sing, produces sweet sounds, while the drunk lets foul talk drip from his mouth. How many people have been ejected from hotels for the foul talk coming from their mouths? How many people have been struck by a drunk without reason? How many good men who are trying to work for the betterment of others, lose their heads in a hotel? Two people may have a small difference of opinion, but if one of them goes to the hotel and talks about the matter to his friends there, it is blown up out of all proportion, and he says all sorts of bad things about the other person. If they are there together the outcome is a fight between the two of them. Such are the evils of liquor. It is not just that the drunk strikes those who have made him drunk, it is the words that flow freely, backbiting, cursing one another or perhaps someone safely at home. The words that are very apposite for this situation are, ‘Every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.’ [Genesis 5.5] When he returns home, what is it like? Many have fine houses, but it is because they have plenty of money that they are able to care for their houses. But most do not improve their homes. Their children go around naked, they are not being properly fed, they are not being en<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">abled to grow strong. </span>This aspect of it is the worst thing. The thing most pitiful is the wife and children being subjected to hunger and cold. This is the ultimate evil effect of liquor; it was said above that it is not only the man who drinks who suffers. The owner of the hotel gets fat on the father’s money while he is stupefied by liquor and his wife and children go without clothes and hungry. But it does not end here. Some return at all hours of the night, and finding the <b>[3]</b> food left for him cold, he is angry with his wife and strikes her, the woman cries and the children also cry, and why? Because of alcohol. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When he is not drunk</span> the man may be a good man, a man devoted to his children, but that is in his heart. He says he loves them but he is not able to demonstrate it because his money has been taken [?<i>te koote atu</i>] by the man at the hotel. My friends, men, If you love your wife and your children, never mind any distress you cause your drinking friends, but do away with this drink that is oppressing them. The road has come to an end by which they will have any part of your labour. They, rather, are the right people to eat the fruit of your perspiration. It is not right that you should be feeding Pakeha in the hotel. I finish with this for it is the main reason for setting about prohibiting liquor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That is enough for this aspect of the subject; each person will be able to expand on it. Were there more room in this paper we could go on seeking many other examples of the evil arising from this one thing, alcohol. We add a few words here to show us how this drink afflicts the people. We have set out how it affects the person who drinks and his wife and family, and now we move on to the people as a whole. Here we are not able to point out how it affects us Maori because there has been no research, although we are not unaware of the impact of this drinking on us. To clarify the situation we call upon the Pakeha to give us examples.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr Gladstone and Dr Stephen Hales, DD, FRS, say, ‘more men died from drink than were killed in battle, in epidemics, and in famines.’</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is said that most of the crimes and evil deeds of all kinds spring from alcohol and the outcome is that the nation suffers. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, England’s leading judge, says, ‘If there is an end to drinking alcohol in England then three-quarters of the prisons will close.’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sir Frederick Treves, doctor to King Edward, was in the army that attacked Ladysmith. The army numbered 30,000. When they were going to Ladysmith men were continually going down sick. He said, ‘It was not tall people or short people, large people or small people, who became ill but those who drank alcohol. If they carried a flask of brandy on their backs one could pick them out from amongst thousands.’ If our soldiers are like that then we will not survive.<i>Samson Ago</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The bill for alcohol in England for a year is £160,000,000. That in New Zealand is £3,803,438, which is £3/13/1 for every man, woman and child. It is known that many people in New Zealand do not drink, many women and many children. If we separate these from those who drink we discover the amount of money spent by them. It is working people who are most heavily involved in drinking. The waste of this large amount on drink gives rise to all sorts of evils. If it were diverted to pay the expenses of all the schools in New Zealand it would pay those more than four times over. It equals the cost of two large naval vessels a year; it could pay for an army of 30,000 to protect the country. What a lot of good could be done with this money were it applied to these things we have mentioned above, and how much the people would benefit.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This food has yet another bad effect on the people. Twenty years ago two people married in Dunedin. They got on very well together. When their child was born the woman was told to drink whisky to make her better. When she started to drink whisky it was pleasing to her taste and she kept up the practice, taking it daily as medicine. That woman fell into the depths of evil. When children were born they were not attended to. Her activity led her eventually into prison. On the occasion of her 57th appearance before the judge he tried to persuade her to sign the pledge renouncing drink. The woman wept and asked, what was the point? since she would not be able to keep her vow. Her husband was an excellent worker, but he was distracted by sadness and shame, while the four children had been taken into care by the Government and those who had grown up had gone into prison for crimes. Consider the amount of money the woman’s troubles have cost the Government just in the caring for her children. This trouble would not have occurred were it not for liquor. Wherever one finds this drink one finds only evil, evil only is its fruit, <b>[4]</b> it has no benefits. The English poet of former days, writing of the work of Samson, said:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, greetings. I am filled with admiration for you, for your bravery in travelling to all parts of the country. Now then, I am going to report on Mahuta’s journey to see all his tribes on the West Coast, beginning from Aotea, Te Makaka, Kawhia, as far as Te Taharoa, from 13th March. The person Mahuta took as service leader to lead his worship services was Te Moanaroa Wata of Whatawhata. He was to take services with the tribes on the journey. When he arrived at Te Taharoa he saw what was being done there and that the worship brought by Mahuta was being rejected. Whereupon Mahuta stood up and addressed all the tribes, telling them to stop observing different worship and practices and to return to the religion he had adopted now, that preached by his worship leader, Te Manaroa Wata of the Wesleyan Church. At the end of his speech the chiefs stood and handed their Maori services to Mahuta to be thrown into the deep waters of the ocean. So there was a good end to what had troubled his tribes. They have now returned to the worship of the Wesleyan Church. It is like the saying: ‘You were as sheep that had gone astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd, to the Bishop of your Souls.’ (1 Peter 2.25)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings to you, the relic, the repository, reminding the tribes of those who have died and of the souls who still live. Take on your back this load for you to carry rapidly to the marae you visit of all the peoples who live under the crown of England. It concerns the large hui held at Kaikohe in the middle of the great resting-place of Ngapuhi. It was the hui for the unveiling of the two stones, memorials to Hone Heke. Four thousand souls came to that marae. On Tuesday 11th at 2 p.m. as the sun was declining, the first was unveiled. When the people had all arrived at the stone on Kaikohe Hill, there was sung the Lament or the Sacred Lament of the high chief, Nukutawhiti. This is a wonderful thing, something very sacred from ancient times. Thirty of us sang the words of that Lament. Ree Te Tai was our leader in the recitation of the incantation. Afterwards three of us spoke on the basis of that Lament. That was followed by the choir singing Hymn 95 [E te Toka, ingoa nui – Rock of Ages]. After that the minister, Te Kitohi, prayed. Then followed the speech by the Prime Minister, Timi Kara. After that the cloak covering the stone was removed and Te Rangihiroa read the words on the stone. The Rev Matiu Kapa said the prayer of blessing. It ended with the band playing the song for the King.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When that finished we went down the Kaikohe Hill and headed for the [?<i>parikarauna</i> - ?parade ground] at the church. Here was the second of the stones over the bodies of Hone Heke and his younger sister, Marara Ngapua, who died on 15th November, 1910, aged fourteen. The first thing was a short farewell address by the Rev Wiki Te Paa. Then the choir sang hymn 152 [<i>Piko nei te matenga</i> – With bowed head]. Afterwards the tribes lamented and many people spoke words of farewell. On arriving at the marae the Ngatiwhatua Choir from Te Wairoa was photographed with the Prime Minister at the head of the group. Afterwards the report of the chosen committee of twenty-five representing the four hapu, Ngatiwhatua, Ngapuhi, Rarawa and Aupouri, was presented to the Prime Minister, and matters he could deal with were referred to A T Ngata. Te Rangihiroa presented this to the Prime Minister and his companions and all the people. <b>[5]</b> In the event some of it was accepted and some of it was put aside. One important matter which the people felt deeply about concerned the Pakeha, P Hasting, who was [?saving, healing, curing, reviving] the [?<i>moha</i> sic - ?<i>mahi</i> - work] of Maori in many parts of the Ngapuhi district, and this was not agreed to by the Prime Minister and Ngata. Subsequently it was agreed to by the Prime Minister. It was said that that Pakeha should be appointed as an Inspector. This was a great gift from our Prime Minister since more than a thousand Maori have been able to live well because of this Pakeha. The coming together of Ngapuhi in these days is remarkable; the Prime Minister, Timi Kara, has truly restored the status achieved by Hone Heke to Ngapuhi during the three year term of Te Rangihiroa. This noble thought on the part of the Prime Minister was a wonderful thing. The final words of the Prime Minister were, ‘Ngapuhi, you have these tui feathers as a treasure, but, Ngapuhi, find a person of integrity to carry this treasure.’ When he finished, Niurangi stood to salute the Prime Minister. He said, ‘Now, all the tribes, the four hapu here, there is your treasure! I have finished. It is up to you now.’ It was only right than no-one else stood up because we, who wanted to go to Wellington and stand in Parliament like Hone Heke, who has been taken from us, were happy and joyful and heartened. But who can be like Heke? Absolutely no-one, no-one, no-one! But it is good that there will be squabbling in the schools now, for from there will come someone like Hone Heke in this new world, someone with ‘chiefly mana’, you can be sure. But it will be chiefly mana acquired in the Pakeha school so that he can achieve the highest summits, because this is the new world which began in the time of Hone Heke. That’s how it appears. I agree with the words of the Prime Minister that this treasured office is for people who are humble, meek, and who haven’t a bad reputation in the world. It is not for angry people or for those names are besmirched. Such people should remain as they are even though they know a lot. Even though I may be a bit anxious, they will not do. Furthermore we must have done with the ways of our ancestors, our parents, and with subservience to [?<i>mana tikitiki</i> sic - ?<i>tiketike</i> – lofty] exalted authority, people of noble lineage, chiefs; we must turn and focus on the present. This thought has come to me now at the time when Te Rangihiroa is stepping down and the men of the North are like gorging kahawai.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Wednesday 19th the memorial stone to Maru Papaita of Kaihu was unveiled. Six hundred souls attended this hui. After this there were speeches on the subject of potential candidates for election when Te Rangihiroa stands down. Men from Te Wairoa are Hemi Te Paa and Huirua Tito – this man did not attend this hui. From Hokianga there is Iehu who was nominated by Wiremu Rikihana and his friends; he had been nominated at previous hui. The hui decided that either Hemi Te Paa or Iehu should stand, but it was discovered afterwards at their consultations that neither side would permit their candidate to stand down. As a result, both of them will stand for election.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will not speak at length on the matter that I am going to lay before the hui this year so that you will have time to follow up the main issues in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my introductory talk last year I said that the appropriate skill to teach Maori children was farming. I am happy that there are very many ways in which a Maori young person is able to learn the basics of farming through the operations of the Maori Affairs Department and also in the schools. However, by the introduction of this as a subject in the schools some problems have been revealed which were not thought about at the beginning. If my words focus on the schools under the auspices of the Church of England it is because I do not know what others are doing. At present we have five schools that teach farming. Over and above this they also all teach the other subjects taught by the Government schools. They all seek to teach their children so that they are successful in the major examinations, Junior Civil Service and Matriculation; that is, all these schools are doing the same. Schools like Te Aute which have land are able to employ a separate master to teach carpentry only and another to teach farming and another to deal with subjects taught in further education colleges, and another for other things the school is able to teach. But for a school like Waerenga-a-hika this is not possible because there are only two teachers to teach all these things while also preparing their students for the major examinations. <b>[6]</b> It is the case that neither Maori nor Pakeha are able to teach just one subject when they are required to teach more important subjects. At present we have five schools separate from one another, and that which attracts the pupils may not be adequate for all. In the mind of a child when he is thinking of going to one of these schools is the thought: Which of these majors on playing football and having fun and does not require much work? If a child is punished at one school for bad work he goes to another: the best thing would be to think carefully about the range of things we teach in our schools. Let us have co-operation in the running of all our schools. Let us arrange for each school to teach the things it is able to teach. There is insufficient land at Waerenga-a-hika for us properly to teach farming; all that we can offer is [?<i>te whakapa noa atu</i> - ?just to touch upon it] and one can not rightly call that farming. St Stephen’s in Parnell has less land than we have. We began farming here because we though it right to teach it, and also because it was not being taught at other schools at that time. It would be good for Te Aute to take this up and they will succeed because they have plenty of land. I have heard that Te Aute is teaching this subject. I think it would be a good thing if the schools could teach different things; so Te Aute and Hikurangi could focus on farming which they could do because they have land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me set out what I think each school should do:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Te Aute should prepare people for the professions, doctors and lawyers, besides teaching farming. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">St Stephen’s should teach the requirements of commercial life and the trades such as carpentry and similar occupations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Waerenga-a-hika should teach languages and also the principles of the faith, preparing pupils to go to Te Rau school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Otaki and Hikurangi should nurture pupils to go on to Te Aute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think that the qualifications for children entering Te Aute should be raised, that is, it should accept pupils who have completed class six in other schools. Were this the case then Otaki and Hikurangi would continue doing what they are now doing but would undertake nothing new; when their pupils completed class six they would be sent on to Te Aute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also think that a Board should be established to run the Maori schools, the members of that Board being the Trustees of all these schools together with the Headteachers of those schools. Under the authority of that Board a child would not be permitted to go from one school to another without the permission of the Headteacher of the school he is leaving. There are many smaller issues to be looked at and resolved but I don’t deal with these at this time. It is the hui that is required to decide what is the good thing to say on this subject.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The good thing about such a proposal is that the child would be able to learn the work that is appropriate for him and he would learn much about it. If they are taught farming well, then we shall separate out an expert in that work, that alone is the right job for him, and the Maori young people educated at Te Aute will know as much as the Pakeha young people educated at Lincoln. Those wishing to become ministers will not be bothered by learning the Greek and Latin languages and the basics of the Christian faith when they arrive at Te Rau. I believe that if the activities of the schools were arranged in this way they would do well; there would be an end to a pupil wandering from one school to another, rather he would be committed to a single occupation, and when he grew up he would benefit from having gone to the school.</span></div>

There were two or three <i>Tete</i> canoes carrying provisions. There were also two or three <i>Pitau</i> canoes. But only one canoe carried the deceased. When they landed everyone gathered to lament. The relics of the deceased were laid out. The rites of a Maori tangi were performed and people slashed their skin with flint.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then the local people looked inside the canoe which had brought the deceased.

Then the chief of the party indicated with his hand to his warriors that they should kill someone; he would raise his eyebrows as a signal.</span></div>

(The rite to remove tapu was performed lest someone unprotected should breach it by eating, which would be declared a violation of tapu, an eating of scraps, which would become a reason for war, and so it had to be removed by the leading chiefs.)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Greetings. I would ask you to load on board these words to be seen by my friends who know what it is to crave for something. My friends, for many days recently I have longed to discover a goldmine in the Tairawhiti area. Last April there was the resounding news, ‘It’s amazing. Gold has been found at Potikirau.’ On the hearing of the news, on it striking my ears, I was disturbed. Oh, the things the Pakeha does. One’s desire is not easily pacified. I found myself looking at the sea at the journeyings of Te Ronihi’s canoe. It was like a bee making honey and flying to the hive [<i>pouaka</i> – post surmounted by a small receptacle for valued possessions. Williams p.299] morning and evening. Listen to the voice of the Pakeha, it says only one thing – gold, gold. Desire is a good thing, but rant and rave quietly. However this lies at the basis of farming: if the heart wants to do this, a person will do it but if there is no desire then the person will be idle. But this is very important, and perhaps a Pakeha was right – he came perhaps from Okarae. There one finds the peak of Taraikahawa and the house, Kehengahuru. Taraikahawa is a peak folk long for, and Kehengahuru is a house of dreams, of stories. And that is what I am like, engaging in the activities of Okarae [<i>Okarere</i> sic]. I leave it there. He got it right. And so I say, What you are doing, Kewha, is indeed right.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Confirmation is the completion of baptism. The origin is not revealed in the New Testament, but it was something practiced by the Apostles (Acts 8.17). It is thought that it was something Christ instructed his disciples to do during the forty days after his resurrection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The laying on of hands was an ancient practice in the East. Its main use amongst the Children of Israel was a a sign of blessing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are told, ‘Joshua, son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, and Moses also laid his hands upon him.’ This is the basis of confirmation in the Christian Church. The teaching of the Scriptures and of the Church too is that in baptism a person becomes a member of Christ, a child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. But this blessing is not just something for the individual alone who has received it. It is a principle of the Church of Christ that if a person receives a blessing it indicates that they have also received a job to do. This applies to everyone in the Church and not just to those who are set apart for some office in that Church. ‘We are all called to be priests, kings, a holy people’ (1 Peter 2.9); ‘Good stewards of the manifold gifts of God’ (1 Peter 4.10); ‘Different gifts have been given to us, according to the grace given to us’ (Romans 12.6). The work of the Holy Spirit is to strengthen a person to accomplish these works and to incorporate him into the body of Christ. The ceremony set down for the realization of these things is <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">C</span>onfirmation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Holy Spirit was the main subject about which Christ spoke to his Disciples after his resurrection. In these talks he was thinking of the Holy Spirit which he gave them on the evening of the day of the resurrection, and of the Holy Spirit who would soon come on the Day of Pentecost. The names he gave to the Holy Spirit in his talks were ‘the Spirit of Truth’ and ‘the Comforter’. These two bestowals of the Holy Spirit I have mentioned above differ from each other. ‘Receive the Holy Spirit,’ that is, receive a gift of the Holy Spirit. That gift is the new life which comes from the body of Christ risen from death. By this new life first given to them they are enabled to receive afterwards the Holy Spirit of Pentecost. What he gave them was the Holy Spirit which lived in him. By this they were spiritually saved and then he gave them the Comforter to live always with them to strengthen them to do their many tasks. The nature of these two bestowals, of one and the other, was that one was saving and the other was strengthening – one revealed the power of the resurrection and the other the power of the ascension. After the resurrection the Disciples understood and believed the sayings of Christ. However they had not the strength to fulfill the tasks of the Christian life, namely, proclaiming the kingdom of Christ. So they waited in Jerusalem to receive the Pentecostal gift. And it was from that time that they realized the significance of the Scriptures (the prophecies), and they knew also the nature of the work they were to do, and they gave their bodies to die for that work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These two bestowals – that of the Resurrection and that of Pentecost, were not only for the Apostles of those days. The Holy Spirit dwells in the Church and makes those two bestowals, through the rites laid down in the past, upon this generation of the holy people. The blessing of Baptism is like the bestowal at the Resurrection, and Confirmation and Ordination are like that at Pentecost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Confirmation confers on a person the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. This ceremony has not been abandoned by any part of Christ’s Church since the beginning, although one part may differ from another as to how they go about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From former times, the Churches of the East and the West have combined Confirmation with Anointing with Oil. Our Church has abandoned the latter practice because it is not the Scriptural practice to combine the two. The Greek Church of Russia [Russian Orthodox] has the same practice – these two things are combined. In the Latin Church the cheeks of the person being confirmed are slapped as a sign that he is not to fear the sufferings that will come to him. These supplementary actions to confirmation are observed in these Churches mentioned above, and they are unlike our practice which is to lay hands on the head of the person being confirmed. But although the practice of other Churches may be different, it is only the external symbols that differ, and the ceremony is the same, <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">C</span>onfirmation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One practice of the Church in the past, which is still continued by the Church of the East, is to confirm immediately after baptism. Subsequently it came about that the Church of the West separated these rites; children were baptized when they were small and when they grew up they were confirmed. ‘Nevertheless one cannot criticize the confirmation of small children for Christ laid his hands on them’ (Matthew 19.13). Still it is a good thing to delay the confirmation until they are grown up, and this is a biblical practice. The Jews brought their children to the Temple when they turned twelve, and, for another thing, in the accounts of confirmation in the New Testament it is not done at the same time as baptism but the two are separated from each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The service of confirmation of the Church of New Zealand follows the pattern of Scripture and a person is also able to receive the blessings of this rite, as happens in baptism. The name of this service in the Prayer Book is ‘The Laying On Of Hands Upon Those Who Believe.’ Within the service the nature of the ceremony is described, that is, the laying on of hands. The beginning of this ceremony is described in Acts 8. The first thing the Bishop does is to tell the congregation that the Church’s desire is that everyone should grow up in the right way. Afterwards he asks those who are coming for confirmation if they wish to confirm the vows made at their baptisms. Then follows the prayer that they may be given the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The laying on of hands follows, and the prayer that they may remain faithful soldiers of Christ. The service ends with prayers and the Bishop’s blessing. This has been the pattern of the service from ancient times up to the present, and so we are following still the teaching of Scripture and the teaching of the ancient Church.</span></div>

So I make a beginning to this story.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Makoare Tuatai and Henare Nihoniho (father of Tuta Nihoniho) and some others were the first to be killed on the Government side; they fell in the first battle against the Hauhau in Waiapu at the engagement at Mangaone in July, 1865.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aperahama Tapatu was the first to fall on the Government side in the first battle against the Hauhau between Tokomaru and Uawa. He fell before the charge which brought down Tahutahupo Pa in August, 1865.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Poihipi Rangiwaha was the first on the Government side to fall at the first battle with the Hauhau in Turanga, the attack on Waerenga-a-hika Pa. Wiremu Keiha was injured at the same time that Poihipi fell, and at that time some of Captain Wilson’s soldiers were killed. Captain Wilson himself was wounded in November, 1865.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rawiri Hikarukutai, was the first to fall along with most of those Ngati Kahungunu on the Government side in the first battle with the Hauhau within Te Wairoa. Ihaka Whaanga was wounded in the engagement at Te Kopuni in January, 1866.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This account will serve to put to rest these dead. These men spoken of were some of the leading chiefs of the hapu within Ngati Porou, and they fell as part of the army of Major Ropata in the aforementioned battles. They were brave men, very loyal to the Queen and her laws, and upholders of the faith. At the time of those battles there was no pay for Maori soldiers. From 1868, during the fighting with Te Kooti, the Maori soldiers were paid money, 3/6 a day, and given food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The cause of the fighting in 1865 was the murder of Volkner at Opotiki by the Hauhau of Opotiki and Taranaki to Waiapu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From that time sprang the first conflicts in which the aforementioned chiefs died. Ngati Porou rose up to suppress the evil and to support the authority of the Queen. During the following years Ngati Porou captured Kereopa alive and gave him into the hands of the law. It was then that Ngati Porou’s haka [<i>peruperu</i>] was prepared: it was a charm recited over weapons and an encouragement to its soldiers:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enough! Perhaps that makes clear the reason for the deaths of these great chiefs. Their blood was shed in fighting for the authority of the Queen and they were the fertilizers of the conflict which defeated evil, bringing peace and good to the people, to the land, and to the whole colony.</span></div>

Since the Government has taken note of the soldiers who participated in those past wars, it is very clear to us that this is a reason for the Government to show compassion to the descendants of those chiefs when some of those descendants are still living. It is for the Government also to erect a memorial stone where those chiefs are buried, because the bones of those who died have been collected from the places where they were buried and have been placed together in a single grave at Makarika near Waipiro before 1870 or 1871.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two small children were arrested by the Wellington police for theft. These children ran away from their parents and went to live in an empty Maori house. They set about becoming like gangsters and stole to support themselves. The Supreme Court sent these two children to the Government institutions where such children are taught. The seed from which this wickedness grew in the hearts of these children were the wicked stories written by Pakeha and sold for a penny. Most of those books tell of theft and murder and other kinds of wickedness. Those stories tend to depict the bravery of the thief, the stupid, and the poor person, while depicting the police as foolish. Such things appeal to the children who think that theft is easy and that real police are foolish, and believe other things read in books. When they do them they are put in gaol. These are the evil effects of the rubbishy books written by the Pakeha. They are traps to catch ignorant children. Many children who have become expert at crime have been led to it by those wicked books. These children are an example to others to be careful and not to be so mad as to follow the teachings of such books.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On 25th April, Archdeacon Owen Thomas Lloyd Crossley MA was consecrated as Bishop of Auckland. This man was Archdeacon of Melbourne, Australia. Mr Crossley appears to be a good person to take up the office of bishop; he has the air or an elder too. In his sermon he said some things about the diocese in which he has been made Bishop. It is not an easy post to which he has been appointed. He was apprehensive when he received the invitation from the synod. Had he not thought that it was Christ’s call to him he would not have come. The reason for his apprehension was that this was the Diocese of Selwyn, the famous Bishop of these past years. He was conscious of the work of Selwyn when he was being made Bishop here – proclaiming the Gospel to the Pakeha, to the Islands of Melanesia, and to the Maori too. This was the pattern for the Diocese laid down by its first Bishop and he was loathe to take it up. But when Christ commands we must obey. His heart’s desire is to do everything after the pattern laid down by Selwyn. He is delighted by the Maori section of his Diocese. From his childhood he has heard of this chiefly people and now he has been called to be a father to this section of them. The good things he said show us what he is like. So we in this Diocese are thankful for our fathers in the Lord who have been chosen to guide the Diocese of Auckland.</span></div>

After the Duke of Connaught had governed Canada for a while he could go to Australia and then to New Zealand, and the Governor of Australia could go to Canada, and the Governor of New Zealand could go to Australia, After they had done the rounds they could return to England. This is a good idea. Ngati Porou will be quick to agree with this for they too are involved in Incorporation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Friend, is what the Catholics say right when they assert that all England has turned Catholic? Seven leading bishops have joined the Catholics. I, the questioner, am a member of the Church of England.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[This story is new to our ears. It is perhaps a deception on the part of those Catholics. England has not converted to Catholicism. Nor have we heard that seven leading bishops in England have joined the Catholics. Let me explain the name ‘Catholic’ here. It means ‘something involving all.’ It refers not to an individual but to all the people of the nations living on the face of the earth. So that word is rendered in out Prayer Book as ‘throughout the world’ [<i>puta noa i te ao</i> i.e. universal]. The word is found in the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed (the one used at the Lord’s Supper), the Athanasian Creed, and in the Prayer for All Conditions of Men. In the English Book of Common Prayer the word is rendered ‘Catholic’ in all the above-mentioned places.; the Maori translation of that word in those places is as we said, ‘throughout the world’ [<i>puta noa i te ao</i>], that is, the universal Church, the Catholic Church. It is not the Church of Rome. The Catholic Church is different from the Church of Rome; it was only men who gave it that name. From the meaning of the word we see that it has no claim to that name. The Church of England has more right to that name than the Church of Rome. – Editor.]</span></div>

That Chinese man was convicted and instructed to pay a one pound fine and the Court costs. When he heard the fine he asked the Judge to give him one month to pay. The Judge agreed because, he said, he had found that if a Chinese man said that he would pay his debt he would not fail to keep his word. This was a very good thing to be said of the Chinese because it is a very good practice.</span></div>

Te Paa stood and said, ‘I am not going to sit down because I have said what I have to say at other confrontational hui. It is my knowledge and not my body [that is in question] and no-one has stood up to refute my understanding. This year we have fallen into “Pakehaness”, whereas it was the law of 1865 that laid down the firm basis for the way we do things. That law designated us “Maori” and “Pakeha”. Our just rights in Maori matters have been established. How many years will it be before we are called Pakeha?’ In Iehu’s speech he did not engage in discussion, but he said that he was complying with the request of the tribe that he should go into Parliament to bring before it our grievances.</span></div>

The man was a German and a drunk. When his stomach was full of beer he called out that he was going to kill all the English. The first man he struck was a policeman whom he kicked with his feet. For his outburst he was taken to prison and the policeman to hospital. When he arrived in gaol <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a man was a</span>sleep there. When the policeman <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">went away</span> he set about hitting the sleeping prisoner, kicking him in the face and wherever that man showed signs of life. For his wrongdoing in the prison he received four months of crushing stones. No punishment was decreed for his first misdemeanor.
