KUI! KUI! WHITIWHITIORA!

We have received many letters from friends asking the price of our paper. Friends, there is no set price, it is left to people to decide what is right. Our desire is not to make money but to inform a person, to point out to him where goodness and joy are found. We will not despise the gift of a shilling from a poor person, nor will we refuse the ten shillings, or the pound or more perhaps of the chief. But it is a wrong thing for a man to give some money, it might be one shilling, while thinking that other people will pay for a paper for him. This is the way foolish people think.

TE PIPIWHARAUROA

[In English. We would advise all our distributors and agents not to give away copies of Te Pipiwharauroa broadcast, like tracts, but to endeavour to gain regular subscribers among the natives in their districts. Maoris, like any other people, will appreciate more what costs them something. We are confident the paper can make its own way among the Maoris, and can pay for itself. Te Pipiwharauroa is gaining very strongly both in financial support and in popularity.]
