A PRAYER FOR THE MISSION.

O God, you revealed your Son to do away with the works of the devil and to make us your children and heirs of eternal life: we pray that you will send your blessing upon the Mission to be conducted in this area in the coming days.

Bless the preacher. Give him power, understanding and the right words that he may make a break-through. You alone know our sicknesses and the medicine which will heal them.

Pour out abundantly your Holy Spirit to stir up those who are sleeping in sin and to turn all of us to you with penitent and believing hearts so that we may attain eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A QUESTION FROM NGAPUHI.

I thank you for the wise words carried by the paper. I have a a question. In 1840 the Treaty was signed and we cast in our lot with the Pakeha. During these 84 years what is our standing as Maori amongst the Pakeha?

Secondly, in this year of 1924, as we head towards 84 years, what is our standing as Maori amongst the Pakeha?

TE AUTE COLLEGE.

This is one of the new buildings at Te Aute College. One of the other buildings that has been completed is similar. The sleeping quarters are on the upper floor and below are the two classrooms, the bathrooms and the dining room. People are delighted with these buildings and the children are very happy with their excellent new home. On remarkable thing is that the children are not suffering illnesses. The children living here are very healthy.

These are the flags of the Te Arawa hapu, given into the care of the Ohinemutu Church. They are now hanging in the Ohinemutu Church. These flags date from the time of the wars the Maori were engaged in, 1864 – 1872. These are the names of the flags: (1) Te Puhikehukehu, (2) Te Hina, (3) Te  Aroha, (4) Uenukurauiri, (5) Hinekura, (6) No name.
