Te Waka Maori. PO NEKE, TUREI, NOWEMA 7th, 1876.
I nga tau te kau ma toru kua pahure atu nei ka kokiritia e matou ta matou waka tiwai kite moana o te whakaaro o te tangata tere haere ai, a i te takiwa katoa i muri nei i kaha tonu matou kite hoe haere i tana waka, ahakoa lie aio lie rawhiti, he tupuhi ranei he marangai—hoe tonu matou. Ite takiwa i tukupu a i te kapua ponri kite paewai ote moana, ai te pakarutanga mai o te tupuhi o te whawhai raua ko te whakaheke toto ki to tatou motu nei, tutu ana te pueliu, kitea ana te mate mete he, na i reira ai maie:&gi tonu ake te Waka nei i runga ite ngaru ote Dioana hei tohu marama rawa, whakakaha i te ngakau o iiga Maori pono, tika, e whai ana kite ora mo nga
iwi Maori i roto i te pouritanga o taua takiwa. Otira, aio kau te moana, tera te toka kei raro iho o te kahu o te wai, he huripureiata—na, kua eke tenei te Waka kite toka pera, a kei te akau e whakapae ana inaianei. Koia ra tenei, he pouritanga tenei ka mea atu nei matou ka whakamutua te WaTca ina puta atu tenei pepa kotahi nei ki a koutou—ara ki ta matou i moliio ai. I korerotia ano hoki i tera WaTca te take i mutu ai. He kupu poroporoaki atu tenei na matou ki o matou hoa korero nupepa, he kupu nui—ara, Kia twpato rawa kite hunga ako Tie i a Tcoutou; kia rongo ki nga ture; me tautoko e koutou nga rangatiratanga tika me nga mana tika; te mea nui rawa, me whakarere nga mahi Hau-Hau me nga karakia poauau pera katoa, ka piri rawa kite whakapono o te Karaiti, kia ora ai hoki koutou. Me whakaputa ano e matou tetahi kupu whakamutunga, he kupu noa. Ko wai ka hua e kore e mahia tetahi atu nupepa hei whakakapi i te turanga o te Waka Maori. Kite mea ka peratia, ko tona tikanga akuanei he pera ano mete WaTca, ara "ko te Tika, ko te pono, ko te aroha " —tera ano e whai i te tomarinotanga o te auripo o te WaTca, ka kotahi ano te whakaaro; kotahi te tikanga e rere-ke ai, ara e kore c pera mete WaTca i toliu ra ite hunga whakatutu i te motu, te hunga whakahe i nga tikanga o te motu —e kore e toliungia taua hunga. Ko tenei ka whakaputa ano matou i ta matou kupu ako " Kia tupato rawa Tci te Tiunga ako Tie i a koutou; kia rongo hoki ki nga ture o te motu."
