Heart Chords from Mrs. Snow.
To the Maori People of New Zealand. Friends, —You have heard of my sad affliction. I thank you for the expressions of sympathy I have" received from many of you; but my desire is that the work Mr. Snow commenced should be continued in his name, both as regards the Mission at Rotorua, under the Rev. A. Fairbrother, and your niewspaper, " Te Korimako," which reaches to every part of New Zealand. The object of this paper is— First. Christ, the Saviour of us all: to draw you unto Him. Second. To endeavour to lead you in the paths of temperance. Third. To edify and instruct . you by supplying information on various topics, both interesting and useful. Fourth. To supply you with news regarding the doiugs of all the different nations of the world. Continue to support the paper and it will improve. I am anxious that great care shall be taken in fnture to send every person his papers regularly, to avoid all mistakes in' this respect. My desire is that the paper should be self-supporting, that it should not require my help, nor the help of Mr. C. O. Davis, the editor, or Mr. Champtaloup, the manager, to support it so much as we have hitherto done. It has been leaning on us for many months. No one but the printer has been paid for their work : this should not continue. Now let it lean on you all; let many backs bear the burden : by this I mean the price must be increased, so that we can pay those who do the work—writing, translating, printing, posting, and publishing it, and the work will be done all the better for it. Commencing with the January number, 1884, the price will be four shillings (45.) per annum (payable in advance as before)
post free to your address. This, my decision, will, I feel sure, meet with the approval of all just men. Feed our bird well; nourish him all of you and he shall live and prosper, and we will continue to send him forth over the Islands of New Zealand. My hope is that you will prosper in all good things, in knowledge, in wisdom, and, above all, in the fear of God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ. This was the wish of your late friend, my husband, and is also my wish. From your friend, Annie M. Snow. Fitchburg, Massachusetts, U.S.A., September 30, 1883.
