Te Kopara 5

Te Kopara 5


[1] Te Kopara, Number 5, Gisborne, February 1914.

‘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]

AN EXPLANATION

This is an explanation to those who have written to the printer of Te Kopara asking if Te Kopara is solely for articles about the soul and not for articles about the world. Yes, that is the purpose of our paper. Te Pipi included in its articles both things – religious articles and stories of the world. Because that paper of ours did not thrive the Bishop decided to close it and to try out a new paper in which the articles deal solely with Church matters or spiritual things.
