BAPTIST. PLAN
Work For Maoris
An associate work scheme which would assist the work of the Baptist Church among Maoris and which would encourage work already being done, was approved by delegates at the Baptist Union’s eighty-fifth annual assembly in Christchurch yesterday. The Rev. A. F. Simpson, secretary of the Maori Board, said that the scheme would include Sunday schools, youth work, and cottage meetings. The field superintendent (the Rev. C. D. Jones) said that the scheme was not just a task for a small group of workers.
By the end of the century four of every five persons in Auckland would be Polynesians and there would have been a radical change in the New Zealand way of life, he said.
The assembly approved the appointment of a new male worker at Pukekohe. He is Mr R. Bollen, Sunday school superintendent at the Kaiapoi Church. He was formerly with the United Maori Mission about 10 years. Members of the assembly approved the transfer of Sis ter D. Whitehead from Pukekohe to Auckland city.
