The Maoris of Ruatoki, a place which till recently was a stronghold of Hauhauism, have to a great extent returned to Christianity, and they have just given a touching proof of their earnestness. They have no church and m order lo obtain the money necessary for building one, they camped m the neighboring bush during the months of June, July and August, and cut 500 tons ol firewood, which they are rafting down tho river to a purchaser, who has agreed to givoithem £200 for it. In earnestness and devotion the Maori can sometimes • teach a lesson to his Pakeha brethren. Obtain from your chemist one bottle of Hean's Essence and mix it with treacle, sugar and water as per simple directions on label. This will make oijm pint of cough remedy suitable for all members of the family, ifc is nice to take, is warming, soothing, comforting, lasts a long time, never spoils and saves at least nine shillings. 15
