WANING RATANAISM
FINE TEACHER SIDETRACKEB WOMAN WORKER’S VIEWS I’rea, A.sociaUon, WELLINGTON. To-day. A woman worker in the Maori Mission field told a Presbyterian mifissionary meeting last night that the Katana movement is crumbling in the Taupo and Waikato districts. She said that Ratana had done some fine work for the Maori people, leading them to give up belief in atuas.
Ratana knew the Maoris were idolaters at heart, and by his simple teachings had led them back to the Church. His great power, however, was in the direction of Divine healing, and he would have made a fine teachtv If left alone, but unfortunately committees of elder men had side-tracked him from the simple truths.
