Te take o toku haere, kei te mohio ano koutou, he hakaminena tagata i karagatia hei rapu i pa tikapa e riro mai āi pa iwi katoa ki raro ki te marua oTe Karaiei.. HAIRA a RI, ue te. sōna rā o Tume I moa a ETE

ATE mahi nai o tama ko he karakia, he whaki i te hara, ara i te poikore o te Hahi i pa tau e maha kua pahure nei i kore ai e tere te haere o pa kupu a te Atua ki pa wahi katoa o te ao ; heinoi hoki i te wairua mahara, i te kaha, e pahau ai te mahi iga wa e takoto mai nei, He nahau te korero i nara "NO KE awaNGal TIODU, a, tE Oa IA I EE TR o Hoani Kai-muc, Ka to he. Karalia anakaihetai. I hui katoa ki a Pāora wiarckarakia, he mano tini te tagata. "Tetahi tohu o te hakawetai ko ga kohikohi o ia wahi, oia wahi o te Hahi i tapaea e pa Pihopa ki ruga ki te lepara Tapu. .Ie huipa o na moni katoa i tapaea hei Whakaneke i te Kipitapa oTe E NNC 3. 0... RE CO ma rā ō Ilurae i timata ai te tumaria oma Tahopa ki Lambeth.. Ema rau e 'ha tekau ma rua, he Pihopa anake ; kahore he tagata kei uru. No te 6 o Akuhata tenei i mutu ai. "Tena ano etahi opa kupui ihakapuakina e pa Pihopa eata tau ana hei maharahara ma te Hahi Māori. I, IT. uma moi te Fiahii. ko te Karauti, 4 kihai nei i haere mai kia mahia he mea mana, emari kia mahi ko ia." "Ta te Hahi e whai aī, ko pa tagata katoa kia matau ki a Te Karaiti e aroha nei ki a ratou, kia hiwi hoki ki te ora. Ma te Hahi hoki ia e hakaatu, me ana mahi, me ana tikapa, hei tirohaga ma te tagata. 2. Tetahi putaga mo tenei tu hakaaro, ko te hakaako i ga tamariki o ga kura ki pa kupu a te Atua; ehara ite mea kia mohio kau ki pa korero mo pa mahi a Te Karaiti, mo ana kupu wakaako ; epari kia mohio ki a ia, ko ia ano te Kai-whakaora o tenei, o tenei. He maumau ako noa hoki ta pa tamariki iga kupu o te Karaipiture ki te kore a Te Karaiti

e waiho hei tauira mo te mahi, i te mea kua uru nei ratou ki tona tinana, kua hakawiwia mai hoki ki tona Wairua hei tohutohu, hei thakakaha ; e hono tonu nei taua Wairoa te riro mai i ruga i te inoi, 3.1 puta anō HO RU HOT NUI NU E tupu ana lua i C mm Imi Ik hi tonu te tare mo te ma ITO KI noi Lei rere ke ta te Paremete ture, me te mau ano te Hahi ki te ture tawhito, ara ko te here o te marena, e kore e taea te wewete.. Rite tonu tenei ki ta Te REKAHU AU IR TI hono ai kaua e wehea e te tapata ;" me tenei, " Ki te marena, tetahi i te wahine i hakarerea e pūrei Na II Ki te ture tawhito, ara ki ta te Hahi, e kore e tika kia marena te tagata pouaru i te teina, tuakana tupu ranei o tana wahine kua mate, kia marena ranei te wahine pouaru i te tuakana, teina tupu ranei o tana tane kua mate. Inaianei kua Whakaaetia enei tu marena e te ture ate Paremete. Te take ota te Hahi, ko te kupu o te Karaipiture, " Ko raua tokorua hei kikokiko kotahi." Ite mea hoki kua oti te marena, kua kiko te INIA, tea ranei , (e Wahine hei tuahine IBU mo e Tame, HO te tuakana, teina ranei o te tane hei tupgane tupu mo te wahine ; koia enei i araitia ai kia kaua e matena. KI uma ōko e NO. tatou ta te Atua i hakatakoto ai. 4. Ie kupu-nui amo telahi mo te haea: vwhiihi ite huga e hapa ana ki pa taoga o te Rongo-pai o te Karaiti. Kaua e kaiponuhia pa mea e tae ai te Ropo-pai ki pa iwi e hapa ana ; epari me uru katoa pa tapata o te Hahi ki pa kohikohi mo taua mahi; kaua hoki e puritia e ona uri te tagata e mama ana hei hariitaua taoga. Tetahi mate nui ote Hahi Maori, he wareware ki te nui, ki te pai o te taoga kua whakawhiwhia mai nei e te Karaiti. E. kitea ana tenei pakau wareware ki te ahua

whakaparahako a pa tagata o te pariha ki te Minita. Kahore nei e maharatia ga kupu a Paora, " Kua ruia nei e matou pa mea wairua ma koutou he mea nui ianei ki te kotia e matou a koutou mea ote kikokiko ?6 Me tenei, a 'Te tagata e hakaakona ana ki te kupu, me ÄWhakawiwi e ia tona kai-hakaako ki pa mea pai katoa." Kahore rawa te Minita e ora ita te iwi e hakarite nei hei orapa mona ; kahore hoki he vare tika hei nohoaga mona. Me i kore te mahi a te taha Pakeha o te Hahi kua mate rawa atu ga Minita ote taha Maori. Eharai te mea he rawakore no te iwi Maori, epari he ahua whakaparahako ki te mahi a Te Karaiti. Ko pa kohikohi a te taha Pakeha, horomia ana e te taha Maori ; te tukua atu hei hari ite Rono-pai ki etahi wahi. Tera atu ano etahi kupu a te runapga Pihopa, e kore e taea te ata korero inaianei. Tetahi mate o tatou inaianei ko etahi opa pariha e hapa tonu ana ite Mimita. Ko etahi o pa Minita o pa tau kua pahure atu ra kua kaumatuatia, kua kore e haikaha. Ko Tamihana Huata, kua tutuki ki te okiokiga ite mea kua 47 pa tau o tona minitatapa. No mua tata ake nei hoki, ara no te 29 o Hanuere, ka Ma WTeTahama Tariihere :' ki tā te Lan ana, RI Kihaläi ata tutuki ona ra. Hē mea enei e hono ai ta tatou inoi ki te Ariki nana te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kai-mahi ki tana kotipa. Tera ano tetahi mea e puta nui ai a tatou MU Kī ke tua, Ko tē mahi i timatana HOI o Mihi Toera raua ko Rotu ki Ruatoki. Ko taua wahine i papia e te mate, a hoki ana ki WHERO. ISWM A na kakuka, e toa Toni mate e kore ai e hoki wawe mai ki tana mahi. Me whakawhetai ano ia tatou ki te Atua mo te kuwaha kua tuwhera nei ki tera wahi e tapoko al te marama o te Ropo-pai ki reira, mo tana "hakakaha hoki i a Rotu raua ko tona hoa, ko Ewa Wi Repa ki te hapai i te kara aTe

Karaiti ki taua wahi i enei marama ka maha nei o te paropo o Mihi Toera.

Kua wakaaturia i te tau ka hori nei te mate kua pa ki pa kura mo a tatou tamariki i Te Aute. 1 fiukarere, ara ko te kore o ma momi e puta ana i te henua e rana hei Whakaora i pa ware, hei hakatupu hoki i aua kura e rua. Kei te namaia he moni, £:ooo e pa Trustees e otl ai mā Ware LS WAkaorai, € AL tupu ai hoki ga kura. Kei te whai rawa te iwi Maori inaianei e taea ai te kohikohi moni i a tau, i a taa, mo te itereti o te momi I namaia, mo te hakahoki hoki i te tinana o taua moni. He nui pa moni e puta ana i enei tau mo te wuuru, mo te hipi, mo pa reti henua hoki ki te Pakeha. "Tera e uaua te tono ite utu mo pa tamariki tane, wahine ranei e tae ana ki aua kura ; egari ano te puta o te hakaaro o te huga kua hakatupuria ki aua kura, o o ratou matua hoki.

Taku kupu hakamutupa, he poroporoaki i te mea ka tae nei oku tau ki te 80. Na te atakhai nui o te Atua i ati ora āai anau Ki enei ra ; otira he mauiui te mea e tata ana ki te tinana o te kaumatua i kore ai e ata taea pa mahi; koia i puta ai taku ki ki to tatou Pihopa Tumuaki kia maunu ahauirupai taku mahi a te ra hakamutuga o Hune e takoto mai nei. Heoi ma te Atua e manaaki tana iwi e noho nei i tenei takiwa te mahi hoki ma tatau he inoi tonu ki a ia kia ata tohutohumia e ia te hupa mana nei e wiriwiri tetahi tapata tika hei hakahaere i tenei wahi o tana Hahi, me te tuku mai i tona Wairua ki a tatou katoa kia pakau-nui ai tatou ki te ihakatutuki i te mahi kua rite nei i a ia hei mahi ma tatou.
