MORE TOLERANCE TO MAORIS
Plea By Bishop Of Waiapu
“I claim that we clergy have not put forward the Maori mission sufficiently," said the Bishop of Waiapu, Rt. Rev. G. C. Cruickshauk, in an address at the choral Evensong service held on the occasion of the annual meeting of the New Zealand Anglican Board of Missions in St. Peter's Church, Wellington, last night. “How .many clergy recommend the Maori mission as a good training ground for the foreign mission field?” his Lordship asked. “The Maori problem is the problem of the minority. What are we going to pay the Maori 'I The country was his; it is'now ours. What have we given him in return? Have we given him Christianity? The Christian way of life is extremely attractive to the Maori, but do not some pakebas in their daily lives cause the Maori to imagine that the religion of Jesus Christ is being ignored?”
Among those who took part in the service were the Primate of New Zealand, Archbishop West-Watson; the Bishop of Wellington, Rt. Rev. 11. St. Barbe Holland; the Bishop of Auckland, Rt. Rev. W. J. Simkin; and the Bishop of Nelson, Rt. Rev. P. W. Stephenson.
