Te Kopara 3
[1] Te Kopara, Number 3,Gisborne, December 1913.
‘Iti te Kopara, kai takirikiri ana i runga i te Kahikatea.’
Although the Bellbird is small, he plucks at the Kahikatea. [cf Nga Pepeha 908]
THE CHILD WHO SQUANDERS POSSESSIONS. [cf Nga Pepeha 714]
Return home! Remember that you are a child of God. If you have forgotten God your Father and have gone astray like a lost sheep and have wandered far from him, then these words written by your Father are intended as a call to bring you back to him. For his sake will you not answer his call and attend to the call of Christ who calls to you, to his gentle voice like the voice of an angel, to the sadness of his voice.
