HE KUPU WHAKAHOKI KI NGA HOA TUHI MAI.
W. Wharepa, of Wharekauri. —Katahi ano ka tae mai to reta. Ko te moni kua tae ke mai i tera marama. Ko te Rev. Rutene te Aihu e mea ana kia ronga ona hoa ite Rawhiti kite matenga o tona tamaiti, a Here, i mate ite waru o Pepuere nei. E ana matou kia whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei whakahaere ite hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te e pai ana me tuhi mai kite Etita kei Turanga nei, me te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua mahi —ara te hereof mana i roto i te pauna kotahi. He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ratou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me whakapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e matou auu reta. Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e hiahia anaki te tango i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira. Ko ia to matou hoa, mana e whakaatu nga tikanga katoa ki a ratou, mana hoki e hoatu nga nupepa ki nga tangata. Kua rongo matou e kiia ana e kore rawa e whakaorangia ake te Wananga kua mate nei. Inaianei, ko te Waka anake te nupepa-kei nga Maori, e rongo ai ratou nga korero nui ote moto mo nga tikanga e ora ai, e aha ai ranei, ratou; ko te Waka anake te nupepa hei whakapuakanga ma ratou i o ratou whakaaro me o ratou mate kite ao. N® konei matou kakii, kia 'kaha koutou te tautoko i te WaTca, ia tangata ia tangata, hei oranga mo koutou, rao te Waka ano hoki. E ora noa atu i nga Maori o tenei motu he nupepa e mahia ana ki to ratou reo ano' hei awhina i a ratou, a kite mea e rite ana to ratou ki ta ratou nupepa. Inaianei ko nga Pakeha kai te tautoko i te Waka i ora ai, engari te mea matauranga ki ta mato\x e w'nakaaro nei, ka tautoko ano ratou tika ma iiga Maori ake ano e manaaki i ta ratou nupepa kia motu ke; ite iwi Pakeha. Kite mea ka pae ano te Waka ki uta a muri ake nei ite kore oranga mona, hei reira te pouri' ai nga Maori, te kite ai i te he o to ratou whakaaro kore—kite ravva ake kua " tureiti." Kaorc hoki he tangata e tahun kite mahi i tetahi atu nupepa i muri iho mo te iwi manaaki kore. Engari e pai ana kia kaha ratou katoa kite kohikohi moni —te hikipene 8. tenei, te herengi altera—e ora ai te Waka, e toa ai hoki te whakapuaki korero mo te taha ki a ratou, e kore ai hoki e wehi ki nga mahi a etahi tu Pakeha o te motu e tohe nei kia whakatikia te Waka kia mate. Ma nga rangatira o nga hapu e whakabau kia m'anaakitia tenei taonga.
