TETAHI WHAKARITENGA MOU; MO AKE, AKE.

TERA tetahi tangata i tu mai ki tetahi tari whakaputa pahe o tetahi rerewe ki te tiki i tetahi pahe maria. Ka ui atu te karaka o te tare ki a ia kia whakaatu ia te ingoa o te tehana tana e hiahia ana kia whakaputaina ai te pahe nei. Katahi ira ki atu taua tangata ki a ia, Aua; kahore an e tino mohio ana Hei kona ka mea atu taua karaha ki a ia, Ko te mea pai kia tere ra tou whiriwhiri. E te kai korero, ki taku mohio ka whakaae koe he tangata ahua kuare taua tangata nei, he korero tika' hoki te kupu o taua karaka ki a ia. Olira ra, i a koe e kata ana ki tona kuwaretanga ka patai atu e ahau tetahi patai ki a koe. Kei konei koe i tenei ra, otira ra, ka haere atu koe i konei. A, i a koe e rere atu i konei ka ui atu e au ki a koe “ Ko hea koe P” Kai te rere atu koe i konei ki tetahi wahi miharo. Tera pea ka whiti atu koe ki reira i muri mai o te whitinga mai o tetahi atu ra. Kei kona te takiwa mutunga kore. Ka mohio ai koe i tera 'nei, otira i mahara ranei koe ki te tikanga ote takiwa mutunga kore, kite tau mutunga kore. A hei kona ka moho koe ki te kainga pai ote Atua ranei, kite mea poure rawa, mea mutunga kore ranei t Aka haere atu e koe i konei ki tehea o awa mea erua. Kahore ranei koe e mohio nei 1 Ehoa, mehemea e pera ana koe he tika ra ka nui atu tou kuwaretanga ito te tangata kuware itu nei kite tare ote rerewe nei. Hei konei ka tuaruatia eauki a koe te kupu a taua karaka, “ Ko te mea pai kia tere ra tou whiriwhiri inaianei. Ka kite ranei koe aua tangata e tu nei i kona ki tawhiti noa atu nei. Ka me to ratou Ateha, “Titiro mai;” “Haere.” A ka hahoro to ratou haere. A, te aroha ote Atua, me nga toto utu

nui a te Karaiti ia ka takafcakaihia e ratou te liunga whakapono kore nei. Ka haere tonu ratou ki to ratou tikanga, ara, ki to ratou whakawakanga. E te kai korero ora kore, kei kona ra koe ki roto i taua hope. Ko hatana ia te Ateha. Ko te hake ote mate te powhiri, otira ko te mutunga iho o te haere nei ko te ka nui whakaharahara o te roto ahi.

Tera pea ka kata nei koe ki taku korero whakatupato. Otira e kore e kore. Ka tika rawa taku korero, tera koa te whakangaroraanga ki tou huarahi. Akuenei ka rongo koe te mea nui rawa o te whakawakanga, he whakawakanga ririhau. A i a koe ka tae atu nei ki taua takiwa mutunga kore, e kore nei te Karaiti ki reira, Ame •pewhea koe ? Me mutu nei taku korero kei mataku tetahi nei 1 Me pupuri nei eau te mea tika nei kei riri mai tetahi o te hunga rangatira nei 1 E kau ! Me korero atu eau te kupu a te Atua kia rongo ai koe e te tangata ora kore hei kona kia ora ai tou wairua e ahu ana kite ngaromanga. E kore e kore to mahi o te mate, Tera pea e kore e roa ka pangia tona rihgaringa makariri ki tou ate. Hei kona ka poroporoake te ngakau pouri, hei kona hoki o hoa e tu pouri ana, te urupa hoki e tuwhera ana. Otira aue te aha amun P Kia mau mai, he mea tika rawa, he mea pono, tera he roto ahi. Ko taua ahi e ka ana, he mea tikanga tera mo te hunga katoa e whakakore ana te Karaiti. Ka tau te pouri o taua mea ki runga i te hunga katoa e tahuri atu ana i te maramatanga o te aroha o te Kai-whakaora. Otira ra, ehara tera ite mutunga atu. Kao. E kore e taea te roto ahi kite huna atu koe ite ahua whakapoururu ote Atua. Ete kaikorero ora kore, tera pea ka nehua koe i o hoa aroha, engari ka rangaa mai koe a i waenganui i te pakarutanga o nga ao ka tu ai koe kite whakawakanga ate Atua. Kei kona te aue mo tou wairua ehe ana i a koe. Kei kona ka ka whakarongo atu kite panuitanga o nga mea he i meatia nei e koe iora ki tenei ao. A kotahi tonu te kupu atu ki a koe amuri, koia ra ko tenei “Kia mahue atu.” Tera pea he tangata karakia koe inaianei, he ngawari, he atawhai, ahua tika hoki, kua arohaina koe e te katoa, otira mehemca e kore ano koe i whiwhi i a te Karaiti kua puritia hei tikanga mou nga moa katoa kua ata korerotia i runga ake ra, a e whai tonu ana koe i aua mea.

E karanga atu ana an ki a koe kia tupato. E kore e taoa ton. mahi kite kai ite hakaremete, ton waiatatanga, ton hoatutanga

lei te rawnkore, tou ahua fcika, tou aha ranei kite arai ite mea o te whakawakanga tika. E kore e taea aua mea kite whakatika i a koe mo te rangi. Heoi te tika mo te tangata hara. ara, ko te toto o Ihu.

Tera koa, e ahua tika tou ahua ki tau titiro, engari ra, e raea ana te Atua, “ He huarahi ano tera e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro ; tona mutunga ia ko nga huarahi kite mate.” (Nga Whakatauki. 12. 24.) Tera ano, “Ta te kuare he whakapono atu ki nga kupu katoa; e ata whakarongo ana ia te tangata tupato ki tana hikoinga. ’ (Nga Whakatauki 12. 15.) E ! Whakarongo ki ta te Atua kupu. Whakatika mai ki nga taki nui mo tou wairua.

Otira ra, tera pea e ki aha koe, kati, kahore au kia whakaae ko au kia tino ngaro mo ake tonu atu. Ki te pera koe, kia tere ra tou whakarite ki ate Karaiti inaianei. Tera koa, mehemea ka tatari koe mo apopo ka taka te tikanga mo, ara, te roto ahi ake tonu atu. Kia kauaka koe kia whakaae ki nga mea hanga noa iho o tenei ao hei raea utu ki a koe mo te hari mutunga kore. E kore e taea te korero hanga noa iho, te mahi kaare, te aha ranei, kite whakangawari i nga mea kino ote roto ahi. He mea poto te ra ote atawhai. Kia kauaka e whakaroa noa iho kei paangia tenei aituii nui ki a koe. Ma tou whakaaro atu ki tou wairua utu nui kia whakatika koe, “ Kia rere i te riri mea ke puta mai.” Otira tera he tikanga ke kua taka mo etahi, tera he huarahi ki te ora, ae ra, me whakawhetae atu kite Atua mo tera. Ka hiahia ranei koe kite uru ki roto ite hunga ora ? Ki te pera tou hiahia raaku e whakaatu te huarahi ki a koe.

Na, kua tu tetahi hui whakakitekite i tetahi taone ki Ingaraangi i tetahi ra i mahue atu uei. Kua ata piri uga panui o taua hui ki uga wahi katoa o taua taone mete tohutohu atu hoki te huarahi ki taua hui. E whenei ana to kii ki roto ite panui “Ko te huarahi tenei hi te hui whakakitekile.’’ Kia waiho atu mo te tangata kuware te haereere ketanga mehemea i ata kite nei ia i taua panui. A mehemea i patai mai ki au e tetahi tangata ki taua taone ko tehea koia te huarahi tika ki taua hui whakakitekite ka ata tohutphu ia e au ki taua panui te ki atu hoki ki a ia kia rite tou haere ki nga mea kua panuitia ki reira. Na, he nui rawa atu te marama o nga mea i tohutohungiae te Atua e kore e taea .te tangata kuware kite kite kore. Ako taku hiahia tenei kia whakakitea koe e au i aua mea. Na, ko te utu kite patai a Tamati ki a Ihu me pehea ka

matau ai matou kite huarahi, ka ki atu a Ihu ki a ia, “ Ko ahau te huapahi.” (Hoani 14. G.) Kia kauaka koe kia pohehe ki taua mea nui. Kihai a Ihu i mea raai “ lie huarahi;” kau, engari “ te huarahi.” Tera pea e mea mai tetahi, Aeha, kei te tolie tatou katoa kia uru ai tatou kite wahi kotahi, kahore e tikanga kite huarahi i tae atu ai tatou ki reira. He tika pea tou ki mai nei kei te tohe koe ki taua wahi kotahi, otira, ko tou mate e kore o oratanga, a kite kore koe i whiwhi ai i tena, e kore rawa he tunga raou ki roto i taua wahi kotahi e ki na koe ko ia te mea e whai ana koe.

E kore he oratanga motu ke ia te Karaiti. “ Kahore hoki he oranga i tetahi ake : kahore hoki he ingoa ke atu i raro ote rangi kua homai ki nga tangata, e ora ai ratou. (Nga Mahi A Nga Apotoro 4. 12.) He kupu tuturu tera e kore e taea te whakakore. Na te Atua taua kupu tika, he mea nui hoki tera kia whakahengia i tou whakaaro he. A mehemea he tangata mohio koe me mutu inaianei to mahi kite rapu i tetahi oranga mou ma runga i nga huarahi ke atu, engari ra kia rere atu koe ki a Ihu inaianei tonu nei.

■ Na te Atua ia i whakapiringia te oranga o nga tangata hara kite knroria o Tana Taraaiti tika, a e tino kore atu te tangata hara kia ora ai motu ke i a la.

Tera pea ka ui mai koe e whenei ana tou ui, “ Kahore ano kia mahia e te tangata tetahi mahi i te tuatahi a rnuri iho kia ora ” Ae. Ko tenei. Kia whakatikaia te tika ote Atua. Kia wahawaha le whakawakanga o nga hara. Kia oti te mahi o te whakaoranga Ara, kia ata rite te whakaaro ote Atua ki nga tikanga katoa o te hara i mua i tou whiwhitanga i te oranga. E kore pea koe e whakahihi ana kite ki mai nei, ko au, ka taea eau kite pera, kite whakaoti i taua mahi ki tetahi wahi ranei o taua mahi. Kahore. Ko Ihu auake ia e taea kite whakaoti i aua mahi a kua otia tikatia hoki e la.

Ia la lie ahua toa ano e tata ana kite mate Ka karanga atu la “ Kua oti.’’ Hei reira oti ai i nga mea katoa rite tonu ki to te Atua i pai ai, a, Nana hoki i whakamau i tona hira kite mea ia la nei i whakaaranga i a Ihu ite mate. “ I whakaarahia ano hold mo to tatou whakatikaia.” Na te ripeka i whakaatuatu ana te nui o te aroha o te Kaaaiti ki a matou no te mea i reira la i waha te whakawakanga tika ate Atua. Ka taea ranei koe te ki atu ko la ki reira moku 1 Waiho atu te urupa e kautahanga ana hei whakaaturanga o te ngaromanga o te mate mete

wetekina hoki o nga herehere e raau ana ite hara. Ko koe ranei tetahi o taua hunga ? Kei te noho te Karaiti kite torona ote rangi hei tohu nui o te painga o te Atua mo ake tonu atu kite main i otia ete Karaiti ki Hangahanga. A, na kona no taua wahi e whai mana ana e whai kororia ana hoki ka tonoa atu e la ki a koe te oranga mete mohiotanga hoki ote whiwhitanga o taua taonga nui. “Na kia mohio koutoix, e hoa ma, e aku tuakana, na tenei tangata te murunga hara e kauwhautia nei ki a koutou ; a mana nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana, ka whakatikaia ai i nga mea katoa.” (Nga Main A Nga Apotoro 13. 38-39.) Ano ra, tera koa te tunga tika hei okiokinga mou, he mea whakapumau hoki tera, kahore lie aha, he aha. E whakaatu ana aua kupu pai te tikanga o te oranga i tonoa atu ki a koe, te take, kua otia noa te whakaritenga i waho ke atu i a koe a kahore hoki koe i uru ki roto i te mahi. Ka ki mai tetahi taetamariki ki au i te mutunga o tetahi o taku kauwhatanga ki Kaneta, “ Tera, me titiro ano au ki taua rarangi, katahi au ka kite e pera ana te tikanga o taua kupu.” A, ka mirimiri i ona kanohi katahi ia ka mea atu, “ Kia whakamoemititia te Atua, kua whakatikaia au.” E taku kai-korero aroha tangohia e koe te kupu a te Atua hei reira koe ka man te rangimarie a muri. Olira pea eki ana koe, “He nui ano oku hara ” Ahakoa, kia waiho atu tera he take tika mou kia tangohia e koe ko Ihu he Kai-whakaora mou. Ahakoa ko koe nei te tangata tino whai hara ana i waho ite roto ahi, ha whakapumau te kupu nei. “ A e horoia ana o tatou hara e nga toto o Ihu Karaiti o tana Tama.” 1. Hoani 1. 7. “ A mana nga tangata katoa, e whakapono ana, ka whakatikaia ai i nga mea kotoa.” Ite wa tonu e tango ana e koe te Ariki ko Ihu i runga i nga tikanga o te whakapono koia ra kei reira tonu ka whakaritea te tikanga raou, ara he tunga mou ki roto i te koronia nui a te Rame mo ake tonu atu. Hei kona ka tika tou waiata—

Tera he kaainga moku kei ruuga ra, Kua wehea i te pouri kua wehea i te he, He where nui ra na te aroha mutu kore ' I whakaritea mai i hanga hoki moku. Ko reira la i arohaina net matou a tae noa tona raatenga, ko la kei waenganui i te hui ko la te mea nui ki reira mo ta tatou karakia te putake hoki oto tatou waiata atu mo ake tonu atu. ■ Ano rate mea nui mo tatou ! Kei te tatari tatou inaianei mo Tona bokinga mai kite tiki mai i a tatou i tenei ao kia katye atu

tatou ki Tona ake kainga kite kororia. Hei koua, “ Mana nei e whakaahua ke to matou tinana tutua nei, kia rite ki tona tinana kororia.” (Piripai 3. 21.) “E kore e aha, kimo kau te kanohi.” (1 Koriniti 15. 52.) He roa Tana i tatari atu nei, otira e whakaae ana rnatou e kore e taro ka tae mai la. E torn Tona kupu ki roto i te korero mutunga o te Paepera, « whenei ana te ki, “Ka hohoro taku haere atu.” E ! Kua ata rite koe 1

E hoa ma, Ka patai ano e an taku patai atu ki a koutou “ Ko hea koutou 1” Kia waiho te tikanga mo koutou ki te Rang! ranei, ki te Roto ahi ranei 1
