Alcohol

People concerned about the health of the body, the mind and the soul of the Maori People are looking into the consumption of alcohol.

The people of the Tai Rawhiti are doing well but only in certain districts, the other places continue with their habitual ways.

THE CENTENARY OF THE FAITH.

Presently the centenary of the preaching of the Gospel to the Maori People will be upon us. We believe that this is a very appropriate time for the Maori Church to seek to make progress. In two month’s time it will be the second of the centenaries of the teaching of the Christian faith, and the purpose of these words is to stir up all the Maori congregations in each place.

THE HUI TOPU OF THE MAORI CHURCH OF THE DIOCESE OF WAIAPU, 1914.

The Bishop’s Address.

My brother clergy and laymen:

I am pleased that our Hui Topu is being held so soon after my consecration as Bishop, for it means that I am seeing early on my Maori friends from all parts of the Diocese and will hear your views on the big issues facing the Church.

My first words must be to honour Mr Goodyear who worked faithfully for many years at this end of the Diocese. His death is a loss to the whole Diocese and not only for those who lived close to him. He was loved by all those who knew him and he rejoiced at seeing most of this area returning to the Lord’s flock.
