NGA KARA E TORU.
[No. 2.
Me ka haere koe i runga i nga rerewe, ki kite koe i nga tangata e tu ana i nga takiwa, me nga kara a torn i nga rings. He tikanga hoki a aua kara ; koia enei, te mea whero, he webinga, te mea ma e pai ana, te kakariki hei whakatupato. Kati i nga huarahi katea e haere ai tatou i tenei ao, ka kites tonutia aua kara e rere ana. E tika atu ana tatou ki/te wa « 1 J ' mutunga kore. Kahore tetahi e tu tonu ana. Tere tonu te pahuretanga atu o to tatou oranga ; a e kore e roa ka taea te mutunga. Ko etahi e waha haere ana i a ratou hara ki taua takiwa ; ko hetahi e haere mama atu ana kite wahi pai, kua whakaritea mo ratou ki terangi. Ki te aroaro o te tangata kahore ano i u kite whakapono, ka whakaarahia e ahua te kara whero. Kei te noho kino koe ; kahore ano kia uru kite Hahi ote Karaiti. E tere tonu ana te haere a meake ka taka ite pari. To raro iho o taua pari ko te reinga—te wahi mamae tonu. Koia i kaha ai toku karanga, “Etu I etu I ” Na te Atua tonu aku kupu. Nana ano i ki mai kia whakaarahia e ahau te kara ki to aroaro. (i Kua hara katoa,” kua hara koe. i( Te utu ote hara he mate/’ li To muri iho i te mate he whakawa,” a e kore te tangata e puta ake ite reinga. Kia mohio ki tenei, u He riri nei tenei : kei tiro koe i te whiu, na ahakoa nui te utu, e kore e taea e koe te karo.” (Hopa 36, 18). Ae ahakoa ko te utu nui o nga toto o te Karaiti.
Otira kua whakarerea ranei e koe to ara tawhito ? Kua whakapono ranei kite Ariki, kia Ihu Karaiti ? “Me whakapona kite Ariki kia Ihu Karaiti, ka ora ai koe.” (Nga Mahi 16, 31). He kupu pai rawa enei mo te tangata e wehi ana, kite riri meake puta mai ; mete wa mutunga kore e haere atu ai ia. E ! ki etahi o tatou kua ahua puta tonu mai taua wa, mete mohio ano tatou kite tere rawa oto tatou haeranga atu ki reira, i runga ite wakaponokore. Otira na te pai ote Atua ? iinai te kara ma hei tohu oranga. Hei whakapuaki ite rangimarie kia tatou. Koia i pono ai to tatou haerenga atu kite rangi. He oranga inaianei, he oranga tonutanga. Kua kites

te Atua te utu mo tatou, ara ko Ihu ; na tona matenga i mutu ai te riri ote Atua. A kahore tatou ite haere atu inaianei i te huarahi o te whakangaromanga —tera e tika tonu atu ana ki te mate mutunga kore —erangi kei roto tatou i a te Karaiti e haere atu ana kite kororia ; a kahore he mea hei arai i to tatou huarahi, e haere ai tatou kite kainga pumau ote Atua.
Kia kotahi ano kupu mo te kara kakariki. To tikanga o feua mea i nga rerewe he whakatupato. Otira i nga huarahi o te ao, ko te kara tena a Katana, e ki ana, “ Kia ata haere, kaua e porangi, kia ahua pai to hanga, whakaritea nga tikanga o te karakia, aka whakapaingia koe.” E hoa, he mano tini nga tangata e kawhakina ana e tana kara a Katana kite reinga. Kei whakawaia hoki koe. Erangi rawa nga kara e rua, te where mete mea ma; ma tetahi hoki e whakaatu te mea e wehi ai koe, a ma te mea ma e tohutohu te oranga tonutanga. Tena ra whakarongo mai kite kara ma, kia kite ai koe i te xangimarietanga e homai ai te Atua ki tou ngakau ! A kia mahara hoki ki Tana kupu, “ Nana, tenet te ra o te whaka©ranga.” 2 Koriniti, 6,2.
