Te Whakapono Ma nga hoa e korero iho nga kupu a Te Karaka (Atirikona) i te hui o te Hahi ki Te Pourewa, Waipa, i te 25 o nga ra o Aperira ka taha ake nei. Ko tetahi wahi tenei o tana whai-korero:— “Ka pau nei te whitu o nga tau i mahi ai a Revs Taimona Hapimana raua ko Nikora Tautau ki enei takiwa, a e rapua ana nga hua. Ki te korero kua whakarerea te karakia Hauhau a kua hoki mai ki te whakapono Karaitiana. Tena, ka hia whare-karakia ka tu puta noa, puta noa i Waikato? Ka hia kaikarakia kua whakaritea hei karakia i te iwi i te mea kahore he minita? Ka hia kaumatua kua iriria? E tata ana ki te wha tekau o nga tau i whakarerea ai te karakia me te iriiri tamariki, a he tino whakatupuranga tenei kahore ano i iriiria, koia te patai na, ka hia kaumatua kua iriiria? Ka hia tangata kua whakaungia e rite ana ranei mo te whakau? E neke haere ana ranei te hunga tango i te Hapa Tapu? Ka hia nga kura Ratapu tamariki ka tu? Ka hia moni ka puta hei whangai minita? Rapua i te aronga o ena patai te ahua o te Hahi: ma nga mahi ka kitea ai nga hua. He tika te taenga mai o nga tangata ki te karakia i nga huihui noa iho a te Maori, otira ko tetahi wahi anake tena o nga mahi a te Hahi. He rau ano te rau, he hua ano te hua. E hoa ma, kei ki koutou hei whakangakaukore ena kupu aku, kahore, engari he mea kei whakamanamana noa, hei whakaoho hoki.” He tika ka wha tekau tau i whakarerea ai te karakia. Kia taka ra ano pea he whakatupuranga ka ea ai te patai a Te Karaka. Ko te tangata e akiaki ana i ta te Atua mahi a e pai ana, ko te tangata hoki nga kai mahi i raro nei. Hauhau to the Christian Faith. Well now, how many churches have we erected throughout Waikato? How many lay-readers are there to make up for the lack of Pastors? How many adults have there been baptised? It is nigh on forty years when last there was a church service, and children were baptised. So I ask you, how many children, how many adults have had the benefit of baptism? How many condidates have there been presented for confirmation, or, are ready for confirmation? Is there an increase in the number of communicants? How many Sunday Schools are there? How much has been collected for stipends? Look for the fruits in the light of those questions, the fruits that show the Church's progress. It is true that people come to church at ordinary Maori meetings, that is one of the church's duties. The leaf however is leaf, but the fruit is fruit. Brethren, you may say that my fore-going words are disheartening, no, but lest you may glory in false praise, they are given to stir us.” It is true that the Church was abandoned for forty years. A generation must pass perhaps, before Te Karaka's questions will be answered. Advancing God's work and practising them are tasks for man on earth to perform.

No Pure Race on Earth Racial Mixture is a law of God, said His Excellency the Most Reverend Romolo Carboni, Apostolic Delegate, in a meeting at Tuahiwi Pa last October. The Delegate who came as Ambassador of the Vatican State and is also in charge of Roman Catholic ecclesiastical matters in Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, was welcomed to Tuahiwi by Mr Henare Jacobs, the Hon. E. T. Tirikatene, M.P., and Mr Te Ari Pitama. In an address to the Maori people, Monsignor Carboni stressed his desire to see Maoris in every place and position in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in New Zealand and abroad. “It is a universal law,” he said, “that the different races of different places in different centuries move from one country to another, from one continent to another. For their very preservation, for their very strength, they mix together… there is no pure race on earth. What we call a pure race is an amalgamated race, resulting from different races. It is the law of God that the different races constituting the very same human family move from one country to another, from one continent to another and they mix with different races for their very preservation and strength. Here in New Zealand there are two or three different races and in the future there will be only one race resulting of the different races of today. There is a process which follows the laws of God—that process of assimilation and integration which should not be pushed unduly and should not be stopped. All the people of different races living together and particularly their leaders and authorities should be intelligent, wise and prudent to see in that process a law of God, a law made, not by human beings, not by human laws, but by God himself. That law shall not be changed, and we must discover, we must recognise, and we must follow that law. Here in New Zealand, the different races are mixed together in a very natural, supernatural and beautiful way. I congratulate all the New Zealand people, the people of European origin and the Maori people and their leaders in the Church and State. I do believe that the New Zealand people and Government treat the different races in a more human and Christian way than any other country in the world.”
