THE MIND WAS DISTRACTED!

The Editor is very sorry that some of his friends have not received the paper. He is very busy these days. It is not only that he alone is running the paper: he has also to read the letters, maintain the list of names, and account for the money. Another thing the Editor does is choose the articles for the paper. Your anger at the content of the articles is loaded onto his head. But although he has much to do, he tries to see that the paper goes out properly.

THE BOUNDARY MARKERS OF THE FAITH

By Te Mahara.

Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark which they of old have set in thine inheritance. (Deuteronomy 19.14.)

Faith leavens all a person’s works.

If we look at the laws which God devised for his ancient people, we see that the laws devised by God are not only for the spiritual side of a person but also for the side which engages with the world: for the rules of worship; for the body, that it might be clean (one must not be soiled or eat unclean or rotting things); and God’s prescriptions extend even to the land (‘Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark.’)

RESPONSE TO AN ARTICLE AND A QUESTION

To the Editor of Te Pipiwharauroa.

Mottled bird, whose song brings in the year with love, arouse the heart that it may work to bring life to the body, the house of the soul. My friend, greetings. I have seen the words and the questions of our father, Mohi Turei, in Te Pipi No. 80.

NEW GUINEA

Our dear friends have gone leaving those at home sorrowful.

We are here feeling sad because our friends, the Bishop of New Guinea and his two young black boy companions, have parted from us. We were very distressed at their departure. They lived here with us for a month and today, Friday, 28th October, they left. Bishop Stone-Rigg is a missionary to the black people of New Guinea.

BAD NEWS ABOUT THE MAORI PEOPLE

Those people who constantly monitor the accounts of a Waikato tohunga tell us that it is a bad and sad story. However it has been printed so that the people at large can see the bad things that are happening to us and so that hearts can be stirred up and that anger can blaze up. For the last four years perhaps we have heard a Pakeha translator denouncing us Maori.

RUSSIA

We have already pointed out the size of the Russian Empire – 8,660,394 square miles, and the number of people of all the nationalities making up that Empire is 128,661,605. Russia is likened to a black octopus stretching out its tentacles and surrounding every place.

THE PROGRESS OF MARRIAGE

I thought that Paora Hopere’s thoughts had ceased. He said that he would not answer my questions unless I printed his articles in full. However we have received his article on that subject – the ten wives of Abraham and other Jewish ancestors. I pointed out the reason why Paora Hopere’s article was not printed; it was because we’d already printed this material in Te Pipiwharauroa.

CREDULITY

To the Pakeha there are two kinds of faith, credulity and true faith. There are reasons for us believing in the Gospel because we know that the Son of God truly came into the world, and we know that he is the Son of God because he did things no man can do. Mahomet said that he himself was a prophet of God but there are no miracles to substantiate his claim, and so the faith of those who believe in him is credulity.
