Perhaps if it had not been for the English war against the Boers, we, the Maori, and other people may not have appreciated the heart of England, the spirit which dwells in the hearts of her children in every place. The muzzles of the guns which sounded at Ladysmith awoke the world to see that a new spirit was floating on the waves of the waters, the spirit which united the many colonies under the power of England one with another, all with a single parent set on the other side of the sea. India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cape Colony, Natal and many other peoples have all risen up together.
