THE IDEAL VILLAGE

(The continuation of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Number 47.)

Maori mothers do not know very well how to bring up their children; they do not correct the wrong habits of their children while they are small, and they do not teach them to respect their elders. Rather, the Maori believe that the way to show their love for their children is to give them whatever they want and to permit the children to do whatever they wish to. When the children grow up, the parents marvel at the sulkiness and the obstinacy of their children.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA

To the supporters of this bird, Te Pipiwharauroa: Friends, this is my appeal to you to give your strong support to our bird. This is our cigar, to be enjoyed. Don’t be slack. Don’t begrudge the five shillings it costs to have it sent as it is clearly five shillings for a whole year. Enough, from your sailor friend here.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT

(A Notice)

1. A new church has been completed – good in its construction and in every way. Its size: 36 feet long, 20 feet across and the walls are 12 feet. There are 8 small windows. There are arches above which protrude inside above the windows. The large window is on the back wall beyond the screen. The rails of the screen and the table and the throne are also excellent, as are all the pews of the church. The tower above the ridgepole of the house is 9 feet high and looks very good.

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

If these three things are spoken together a person thinks of the words of Paul, that these are gifts of the Spirit which last for ever, and the greatest of these things is Love. (1 Corinthians 13.13)

LOOKING BACK

The other day we heard a bird singing. It was not a new song but a song we hear every year. What was it? ‘Squawk, squawk, squawk seven, squawk, squawk eight, etc.’

Hey! It is the people’s pet, Te Pipiwharauroa; it is the offering of first fruits for people hemmed in by darkness; it is the proclaimer, the well-spring of summer, and even of the new year.

We are unable to print articles if we do not have the name of the sender. If a person does not want his name to be known then write to us so that we will know your name and address.

We apologize for sending red wrappers to those to whom it was not right to send them. The fault lay with those who were labelling them. But, friends, do not be hurt. It was a mistaken notification. Don’t be upset.

SPRING

Farewell, Te Pipiwharauroa, farewell! Since your time is near for you to mate. You and the flowers of summer emerge together; you are the markers of the year. The good things emerging in the flowers – the beauty to be seen, the scent to the nose, reminding the heart that, yes, summer is near! It is the same with Te Pipiwharauroa. He makes things known to the ear, penetrating to the heart, things for the spirit to consider. This bird sings beautifully, the publisher of the places and the times.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA

A few words of explanation from us to the supporters of our bird. An elder has written to us requesting us to publish the articles he sent and telling us of the anger of some elders from his area because articles they have sent have not been printed. See Rule 4 of Te Pipiwharauroa. We are not able to print all the articles sent to us by Maori friends. Most of those articles sent to fill up the paper are not of interest to people at large. If they were to be printed by us we would not be able to print overseas news or other articles which we want people to read.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA

As an outcome of the strong desire on the part of the Committee which runs Te Pipiwharauroa to improve the bird of the Maori people we have included pictures, the pictures of Lord Roberts and General Bridge, and in the next edition we will have those of Lord Kitchener and General Baden-Powell, the warriors of whom we hear from Africa. These pictures cost a lot. They are ordered from Melbourne.

If Maori people continue to strongly support our newspaper and our determination, then our messages will go out more powerfully, messages to instruct Maori.

[1] THE MINT [THE GOLD SMELTING OFFICE]

When I was in Sydney I saw the Mint [the Gold Smelting Office] where money is made, the god which confuses people’s thoughts. Everyone has said at some time: ‘The love of money is the root of all evils; in their eagerness for it some have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains’. For the love of money men have afflicted their bodies, they’ve destroyed their good names, they’ve cut the throats of friends, they’ve given over their bodies as slaves to the god of evil. But money can be a means of bringing about good for people, of doing great things for people’s benefit. Money is not the root of all evil, but love of money. A person is wrong when he makes money his chief, directing his acting and thinking; rather let him change so that money is his servant doing what he wants done.

THE HEART OF ENGLAND 

Apirana Ngata MA LLB

Perhaps if it had not been for the English war against the Boers, we, the Maori, and other people may not have appreciated the heart of England, the spirit which dwells in the hearts of her children in every place. The muzzles of the guns which sounded at Ladysmith awoke the world to see that a new spirit was floating on the waves of the waters, the spirit which united the many colonies under the power of England one with another, all with a single parent set on the other side of the sea. India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cape Colony, Natal and many other peoples have all risen up together.

THE GOVERNOR’S DINNER FOR ST STEPHEN’S SCHOOL

On 4th May the Governor and his wife held a dinner for the young people of St Stephen’s School, Auckland. Sixty young people went to the Governor’s residence along with their teachers and the school administrators. Before the dinner some of the young people walked around the Governor’s garden. At the dinner, after the toast honouring the Queen the young people sang the song in praise of the Queen, ‘God save the Queen’.

After the dinner all went to Queen Street Wharf where there was a launch to carry the Maori party and the Governor and his friends to the warship HMS Pylades.

THE SHAME

In the address given by Mr Thornton, teacher at Te Aute, a summary of which was published in Number 19 of Te Pipiwharauroa, he said that Maori, Maori parents, were guilty of a sin in that there was much fornication amongst their children – ‘because of the use of filthy language, because of a lack of this thing - of modesty, their daughters were being brought up without values.’ This is an important thing for the Maori to take on board if they wish their daughters to grow up with a good name, without a blemish on their past, into young womanhood. If a girl does not have this modesty it will be her downfall, her degradation, her flight to the world of darkness.

THE YEAR 1899

Peacefully has passed away

The year that has just finished,

With its happiness, and its good,

And its many trials. [Hymn 31 Maori Prayer Book]

Many things, both good and bad, happened this year but the bad things happened beyond our island, far away from us. Only good things happened to us here in New Zealand.

EDITORIAL

The winter is past. This is summer and there is an abundance of seeds. The night of the sun’s zenith is drawing near and the autumn yields its fruits. May we reap some harvest from the autumn.

Many letters from friends have reached us but we are saddened at the smallness of the wings of this bird to carry them. Some of the letters we cannot read because the writing is so smudged. Friends, if you send an article to be carried by our bird, make sure the writing is clear and write only on one side of the paper. However, if you are only writing to the Editor it is alright to use two sides of the paper.

AN EXPLANATION BY THE EDITOR

It is summer and the land yields its produce. The trees and everything else bear fruit. A person’s life is easy. My people, I have now been soaring over your marae for a long time. Invite me to your villages lest my foot prints do not appear on your marae and you are left there confused. The offering of Tamaiwaho will cause me to alight on your home. [cf Nga Pepeha 211] If you are in a bad way I will intensify my calling to your marae.

This Pipiwharauroa is being sent out from his new nest.
