RATANA'S XMAS GATHERING.
ROTORLA NATIVE CURED. i (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star."! ! TVANGANLT, this day. ! Ratana's secretary, in conversation to- ( day. states that the Christmas gathering \ this year was the most successful ever . held at Ratana's village. The attend- ; anee was approximately .1000. coming from north of Auckland and from as far south as the BlutT. Tbe organisation was all that could bo desired, and all spent a happy and instructive time..' There were many inspiring addresses, including some by Ilatana. am! it is predicted that these will be productive of much good. In addition to a local orchestra, which comprises about ("J ' musicians, there were other visiting bands at the pa. so the entertainment side was not neglected. One patient. who came from flotorua. was carried in from the railway station, and left apparently fully cured. lUitana received a letter from a resident in Holland a few days ago appealing for his prayers and spiritual intervention. The gathering will conclude on Wednesday. There will be a big sports gathering to-morrow. Ratana's work now extends to Europeans, and several who sought his aid during the year are reported to have r materially benefited.
