Te Kopara 34


[3] Te Kopara, Number 34, Gisborne, 15 August, 1916.

‘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 GREAT WAR (III)

One thing for which we must praise God now is that we live in a state of peace without disturbances when we are receiving accounts every day of distant battles in which two or three thousand are dying in a single day. We are now in the second year of the war and there have been fifteen ships full of men from here to take the places of those of us who have fallen.
