Excerpt from A Great Missionary Pioneer: The Story of Samuel Marsden's Work in New Zealand, (Written for the Marsden Centenary, Christmas Day, 1814-1914)
The traditions and superstitions of the Maoris contain so much of the grotesque and the impossible, that it is difficult to sift the gold from the dross. There are beautiful ideals and fundamental principles, mingled with the wild imaginings of wholly untutored minds.
