“OWED LITTLE TO SOCIETY.”
TE KAHU’S UPBRINGING. Auckland, October 10. In a statement. Dr. Liston, Roman Catholic Coadjutor-Bishop, says: “Now that Te Kahu has paid the penalty for his crime against society, it seems time to say that he owed little, i-f anything, to society. He w r as brought up almost wholly outside the refinements of society and the restraining and ennobling influences of religion. Indeed, until a fortnight ago he barely knew ' there was a God to whom he was re- [ sponsible. What prompted the condemn- [ ed man to ask to see a priest just tw’O i w eeks ago, Ido not know. So Te Kahu i received instructions in his own tongue [about his Maker, and heard for the first time the story of God’s tender love and boundless forgiveness for man. He was baptised a Catholic, asked and found pardon, and was followed to the end by the consoling ministrations of the Catholic Church.”
