MAORIS AND RELIGION.
PROPOSED SYNOD. The Maoris of the Anglican ChurcH are anxious to hold a Maori Synod. The Bishop has consented, but stipulates that it must be held in August. The Maoris wish the date to be some time in January, and the chief reason for that is that they are not so affluent in the winter as in the summer, when the potato is plentiful and the finances are in better 1 shape. Hospitality is number one consideration with the Natives. They want a,Synod, but they do not Want a Synod minus hospitality, and potatoes; It is likely, however, that provisions will have to be collected from .tte four winds if the Synod is to be held, for the Bishop will probably adhere to his. decision. Tho Rev. Mr. Williams visited Otaki yesterday for the purpose of endeavouring to satisfactorily arrange the matter. With every desire to regard the proposal with 411 due seriousness, a touch of novelty inevitably creeps in, and the function should be a rather interesting affair.'
