MAORI MISSION.
EXTENT OF THE WORK. / ASSISTANCE FOR THE FUND. The Maori Mission work .in the Diocese of Auckland is still being carried on very ably by Archdeacon Hawkins, superintendent of the Mission. He has .associated with him twenty Maori clergy, one of whom gives his time to organising the Sunday schools for the Maori children. There are 70 boys at. St. Stephen’s Maori School in Parnell, 50' girls, at Queen Victoria School for Girls, and nine students for the ministry at St. John’s College. It is interesting to .know that the Maoris build and maintain all their church buildings. In times past they have given valuable endowments of land for the.maintenance of the Maori Mission work, and at present they are giving £3OO a year to assist the stipend fund. They, however, still require very considerable assistance from the Europeans of the diocese, and to this end the offerings of St. Paul’s Church, and all the Anglican churches' in the diocese, on Sunday next will be given to the Maori Mission fund.
