To the Editor of the Maori Messenger. Sir,—lt is a right thing that the good works of the Natives should be known. Will you therefore publish in the Maori Messenger the subscriptions of the Natives of Kaipara for the support of a Minister for their place. They bad become sorry because of their Minister, Mr. Buller, going away to Port Nicholson hence; this collection is that a Minister might again reside at Kaipara. One hundred and forty two Pounds were
brought away by me oil my return from thence; and they propose to subscribe everv year for the support of their Minister according to the word of Paul, or rather of the Lord Jesus Christ. if They that preach the Gospel should live by the Gospel." And they propose also that they shall give land for a residence for the Minister ; that they should build him a house; and that they also collect money for the expenses of his boats crew. I therefore consider that now this tribe is becoming honourable, and let all the tribes of New Zealand do likewise, and then will this become a happy land. A Minister has been appointed for Kaipara and will shortly go there to reside. From your friend, a ii j John Whiteley. Auckland, 1856.
