Te Kopara 48
[3] Te Kopara, Number 45, Gisborne, 12 October, 1917.
‘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 SYNOD OF THE DIOCESE OF WAIAPU.
The Synod of the Diocese of Waiapu was held in Napier on 24th September. However the ministers of the Maori and Pakeha sections actually gathered on the 20th. The 21st was a ‘retreat’ day for the clergy. At 7.30 in the morning they took Communion in the Cathedral. Another service was held there at 10 o’clock but in the small chapel built in memory of the peace settlement after the war with the Boers in Africa.
