THE BIBLE.

On very dark nights a light is a great asset to make clear where one is treading. In these days when the whole world is overshadowed by darkness there is the light of God which he has freely given us to show his children where they should walk. As David said, ‘Your word is a lamp to my feet.’ [Psalm 119.105] Perhaps this is one of the reasons for this war – the Creator is recalling the thoughts of his children to seek the deep meaning of his words. During this war six million (6,000,000) Bibles or some parts of the Bible have been printed and given to those who are fighting.

OUR BIRD.

To the tribes, to the spokesmen, to the authorities, to the leaders of each marae, of each family, greetings. You will perhaps have seen the article in the May edition of Te Kopara telling that the management of the articles to be printed in Te Kopara has been transferred to Hastings for a year.
