Te Kopara 78

(Maori Version at Papers Past.)

[3] Te Kopara, Number 78, Gisborne, 31 July, 1920.

‘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 ministers are badly affected by the steep rise in prices of everything while their pay is what it was before the war. One would think that the leaders of the Maori People would realise how little their ministers are being paid and seek ways to increase their stipends. The payment for Pakeha clergy has increased to £350 a year.

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.
