E hoa ma, tenei te korerotia mai nei kia matou te ki ki a koutou, a etahi pakeha ngakau kino, meake whakaritia e te Kawanatanga kia tangohia a kouton pu. Katahi ra ia te korero ! Ma matou rawa ono ranei ienei e whakateka ? Engari pea ma koutou ake ano e titiro te ahua o ten atu korero. E kore ano e ngaro te tohu o te whakaaro pera i roto i te ahua o te pakeha kite raaori i nga takiwa kua palmre atu nei. I ena takiwa, a, tae noatia mai tenei takiwa, he atawhai anake ta te pakeha ki a koe. Ka mate koe, ko te pakeha hei rongoa. hei atawhai i roto i nga whare turoro ; ka hauaitu koe, ko te pakeha hei whakauwhi; ka hcmo kai koe, no te pakeha te oranga ; ka whai koe ki nga ritenga kuarc o mua, ko te pakeha ki te ako i a koe kia tango koe kite Whakapouo kia puta ai tou' ihu kite ao ;ko te pakeha tonu kite awhiiia i a koe i run«a i ou main katoa, i nga mahi mira, i mahi ahu whenua, i nga mahi maha noa atu—ko ia tonu tou hoa arolia o mua iho. Ko teuei, ka roa nei e main ana i te pai, iera ranei e tahuri oliorere hop, take kore ki a koe ? Kaore pea. He kokuru kite pena ia. Engari pea nga tangata nana eua korero ki" a koutou e pena, mehemea i a ratou te riteuga. Inahoki, kai te wawata noa. He tika ano ra ia, tenei ano etalii tangata maliara kore c hiahia ana kite tutu ; otira kaore he putanga mo oua whakaaro i te uuiuga—i te Kawanatauga auo hoki. Kite whakaponohia e koutou 2n korero whakakiki a te pauki rere noa, f°kore auo e tau te mauri o koutou i te i uhua o te korero. Engari me titiro touu koutou ki te Kawauatauga—kei kona he tikanga mo koutou. I anga mai ite Kawauatauga te ki, katahi ka whakaponohia e koutou. Heoti auo te hiahia o nga pakeha o teuei kainga ko te pal anake ; ko te noho pai
ratou ko _ Ngatikahungirau. Ehara hold i te mea ki a koutou anake enei korero o te pai e whakaputaina atu ana; kei i a ratou whakapakeha auo hold ia e koverotia aua. luahoki, kei roto i nga nupepa pakeha o koiiei e mau ana te pauui o. te whakaaro pai o Heretaaaga —o te pakeha, o te maon ; kua kitea hold e nga pakeha o etahi atu wahi, kua rongo katoa ratou. Na te aha tenei i peueitia ai, na te kino ? hua noa pea na te pai. Ehara ano hold matou i te Atua, he tangata nei ano matou ; rce koutou hold, he tangata. Ko whakaaro hoki o tatou tahi, he whakaaro tangata ano. E mataku ana koutou kite mate, e mataku aua hoki matou kite mate ,• e kore e karangatia noatia, mete hoa pai e karangatia aua kite kainga : engari, maua ano e rere noa mai, katahi raka whakamauawauui—e taea hoki te aha ki kona. Teua pea koutou e ki mai, na matou amace, na nga pakeha o konei, enei whakaaro o te pai; ko a te Kawana whakaaro e pehea aua ranei ? Na, te whakahoki mo teua, ko nga panuitanga a te Kawana kua taia ki tetahi wahi o tenei nupepa hei titiro ma koutou—kei kona te tikauga. i»:Ie whakairi o koutou whakaaro ki runga ki ena panuitanga. Kaua e whakarongo ki ta te tangata noa atu, ki ta Waikato, ki ta wai atu ; no te mea e kore e ahei te teka ie mea kua panuitia i te aroaro o nga iwi maha. Kite piri koutou kite pakeha kaoie he maharaharatanga mo koutou. E ngaro iana, ko te nvi e tutu ana, mana te maharahara, te rapu ki a ia. Teua auo nga karere o Waikato te ki mai nei pea ki a koutou ko te pana te pakeha i a koe, ko te tango i to kainga. ko te aha, ko te aha. He parau anake. E kore auo e ngaro te ahua o te kino, o te pai. Kahikatoa te rakau i te putake, kahikatoa atu kite kauru—-e kore e rere ke a runga, e kore e rere ke a rare, kotaiii anc ahua. Ko nga toki, ko nga kaheru, ko nga mea peni katoa e ahei aua te hauga hei rakau patu, kua purua ki nga iwi e whawhai aua kite Kawanatanga ; tena ko lleretaunga nei e tuwhera ana i te panuitanga a Kawana. Na te aha tenei ? na te pai ra; e kore ano hoki e ngaro. Kia rongo mai koutou, ko nga riteuga tango pu, tango whenua, me "etahi atu ritenga maro, mo nga iwi anake ia e whawhai ana kite Kawanatanga ; mauria noa mai ana e te tangata mo konei. Tae ki tera whakatupurauga, i a tatou ka ngaro kite whenua, tena te titiro wha-
kamuri mat o tatou uri ka ki kite porangi o te tangata o tenei wliakatupuraiiga ; te kore e kite i te ara tika, i te ara o te ora niona—me tatou inaianei e titiro wliakamuri atu ana ki nga mahi o nga tipuua, mete ki kite poke i a ratou. Ileoi ra, kaua tatou e ohoolio noa ki a tatou nei auo,, kaua hoki e whakarongo ki te korero rere noa inai ite hau. Eugari kia pmnau ki a tatou ritenga pai e mau nei, kia puta rawa to tatou rongo ki nga vhakatupuranga i muri i a tatou, ko " Rauru tangata talii."
