Excerpt from Wesleyan Juvenile Offering, Vol. 3: A Miscellany of Missionary Information for Young Persons; For the Year 1846 About ten thousand of the native new-zealanders are under the teaching of the Wesleyan Missionaries. Some of them reside at Waingaroa, or Wangaroa, on the banks of a small river on the western coast of the northern island, about half way between North Cape and Cook's Straits. This Mission was commenced in 1835. The house and chapel in the picture were begun by the natives in 1841, and were finished in 1843. They planed all the boards, both for the outside and inside of the walls, and split thirty thousand shingles for the roofs. The hell was presented by some friends at Poplar. The native Christians assemble for worship in boats from various parts of the district. They appear to keep their clothing folded up until they reach the anchorage, and then put it on clean for attendance at the chapel.
