THE SPEECH OF THE BISHOP TO THE AREA HUI OF THE MAORI CHURCH OF THE ARCHDEACONRY OF WAIAPU, HELD AT TE ARAROA ON 20TH FEBRUARY, 1918.

To my friends in the position of ministers and the lay representatives: We have come together to look for ideas and to make plans. Although we do not have authority to make laws of wide application, much good will come to us from our talking together, our discussions, as we get to know what others are thinking and share our own thoughts about matters relating to the spiritual side and about things which will improve the lives of the Maori People. And it is appropriate that the matters about which we reach conclusions are brought before the main Synod of our Diocese.
