There arc between 500 and 000 natives at the annual provincial gathering of the Maori adherents of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, wnieh this year is being held at Kaianga. of Kru Nehua, al Whakapara, who has built a very large meeting-house. The natives have gathered from all ]>arts of the province, and the expense is borne proportionately by the various districts. At sunrise the blowing of the cow's horn by a stalwart native awakens the camp, and then, with stentorian voice this muezzin of the .Maori Mormon Church calls upon the faithful to pray to the Gnat Spirit and Giver of all good tilings. During the day praying and preaching and feasting alternate. Immense quantities of food are being consumed, and, judging Ly the smiling faces, much to the satisfaction of those present.
