THE TOWN OF GISBORNE WELCOMES THE BISHOP OF WAIAPU.
On Thursday, 4th June, the Bishop came here to Gisborne. That day at 8 o’clock in the evening the greetings and the speeches took place. Although he had been in Gisborne recently he was not on that visit thinking to see this part of his flock but stayed here prior to going to the East Coast areas and did not go to other parts of the Gisborne district. Therefore there was no welcome given to him and no speeches marking his coming, but now at last had come the time arranged by the people of Gisborne for him to come and be seen by them.
