THE OPENING OF THE NEW TE ARAWA CHURCH.
The Speech of the President.
It is with great joy and gladness of heart that I am here at this time with my younger brothers of the Maori People. From the time of my arrival in this country I have had in my heart a love for you, the Maori People. Now I have arrived in this famous village, and in addition to this it is a place which has inspired the Church in these areas.
