RATANA’S 'XMAS GATHERING.
ROTORUA NATIVE CURED.
Ra tana’s secretary,- in conversation with a Wanganui pressman, stated that the Christmas gathering this year was the most successful ever held at Katana’s village. The attendance was approximately 3,000, coming from north of Auckland and from as far south as the Bluff. The organisation was all that could he desired, and all spent a happy and instructive time. There were many inspiring addresses, including some by Ratana, and it is predicted that these will be productive of much good. In addition to a local orchestra, which comprises about 90 musicians, there were other visiting bauds at the pa, so the entertainment side was not neglected. One patient, who came from Rotorua, was carried in from the railway station, and left apparently fully cured. Ratana received a letter from a resident in Holland a few days ago appealing for his prayers and spiritual intervention. The gathering concluded yesterday. Katana's work ifow extends to Europeans, and several who sought his aid during the year are reported to have materially benefited.
