A GROUP GOES TO UTAH.

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

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

A NOTICE

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

TE PIPIWHARAUROA.

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

TYPHOID FEVER.

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

GENERAL BOOTH

The Head of the Salvationist Church.

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

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.

BEING LIKE-MINDED

To be like-minded is a great treasure. It is something sown in the heart of a person. There are no peoples who lack someone prepared to do things for the benefit of the people. The benefit of being of one mind is strength. This is obvious: two are stronger than one, three than two, and four than three.
