HISTORIC BELL

USE AT NEW MAORI CHURCH LINK WITH EARLY MISSION [by telegraph—own correspondent] GISBORNE, Friday The new Maori church at Poho-o-Rawiri will contain historic associations with the district in one of the two first bolls brought into Poverty Bay over 70 years ago. The bell, known as "Whenuanui," was cast in London in 1863 by G. Mears and Company, and was brought to the mission station at Waerenga-a-Hika. It had been established there only a little more than a year when, as a result of the Hauhau trouble, the station was abandoned. Later the bell was taken to the pa at Kaiti. It will now be used at the new church, which has been named "Tokotoru Tapu," or the Church of the Holy Trinity.
