THE BIBLE SOCIETY.
Since we last wrote, a meeting of this Society has been held in the Odd Fellows' Hall. On this occasion, many matters of a deeply interesting character were brought forward; and among others the translation of the Bible into Maori". Several Native Chiefs were present, who expressed much pleasure in witnessing the proceedings Sundry subscription have been made by the Maori people in aid of the great and good work. Our own opinion is, that the whole expense of translating the word of God into the Maori tongue should be defrayed by the Natives themselves, and from our knowledge of their character, we are disposed to believe, that they would readily accede to this.
