Belovod-of-the'Maoris. Several representative .Natives of the Ngakihawa tribe assembled at the inaiiss, Manuuui, recently, to express regret and sympathy at the death of Dr. Agatha Monfries. Peke te Whetu. te Huia Kotuku, on behalf of the party, stated that with sad hearts they had come to convey their sympathy concerning the death of the late Dr. Monfries, and that they had brought with them mats, including an "auto," that they desired to place upon tho coffin.

nfter salutations had bec-n exchanged, including the hongi, the j;arty were received by the Kevs. J. J. Monfrios, J. E. Ward, ai>d W. Woollass, whereupon Jliikiaka Tawhiao chanted a lament. Then Mirama Kahu Karewo, Te Okcrua Kotuku, Mohi. and Amakura, handed tho mats and the "ante" to Poke ic Wiielu (e II uia Kotuku, who gave them to the Ivcv. J. E. Yfard, and assisted him to drai>e iho coffin. The- Maoris oiaced a most.beautiful wreath unon the colh'n. The Rev. J. J. Monfries thanked them very kindly for their tokens of lovo and esteem. He would take the "ante" ns faids tho grave. It would be, as they had stated; an emblem of love and grief to the deceased. He would then return it to them, so that it might be used for other?, who would follow on the path of pain and grief. He thanked them fov their kindness, and honed a kindly Providence would safely guard and bless them. It was oxnlained by Hakeaha that Mrs. Monfries was greatly beloved, by. the Maori people. Civilisation had brought two things of.groat value to them—Christianity and medical aid. liotli wore lights ■amid the gloom. In treating Mrs. Monfries as a Native, they thought io honour her as a chief. Although this had no,t. bec-u done here before, they would understand tho kindly thoughts which lay behind tlio actions. lie ox.pressed hi? great sympathy with nil the sick people, who wouid miss tho kindly ministrations of the late doctor, who hail never refused to attend any cf the Maoris; but now she who had been a light to shine a brief lime had gone lo the Everlasting Light, which never wanes, but illuminate? Providence and all our associations with it, and this is as gloom compared to that. Tho Maoris could not forget. They had their own way of remembering, tfe would fay of the deceased: "Thou ha«t gone to thy reward—gone, gone; but Ihou art present in our thoughts, which are uncontrolled -avp by ourselves. Go! Let thy journoy be bright, and love follow t'hec, and prosper the fligh , : of thy canoe to the presence of the Eternal, where there is no- more pain, when rain and sickness are ended, and in thy cat thou thy kumara of peace. Jlny God bless and keen you unto Himself."
