WHAI-KORERO A TE PIHOPA,
E hoa ma, e nga Minita, e nga Mangai o te IWI, I I te mea kua tae mai nei tatou ki te Hui Topu o te Hahi Maori o tenei Pihopatanga, ko te mea tika tenei, kia ata tirohia e tatou te ahua o tenei wahi o ta Te Karaiti mara, he whai hua ranei, he hua-kore ranei. E kiia ana e Paora te Hahi a Te Karaiti he rite ki te tinana o te tangata, he maha nei ona wahi, kotahi tonu ia te tinana, me te whai mahi ano tenei wahi, tenei wahi. Nga ta-
ngata hoki kua iriiria nei hei wahi mo te tina. na o Te Karaiti kua rato katoa i te mahi. Kahore rawa he tikanga e mangere ai tetahi. Te mahi a te Minita, he tuku i nga Hakarameta, he kauwhau i te Kupu, he tohutohu ite iwi kia a- kī aTe Karaiti: koia, hoki I Inā ai he kai-mataara, he hepara. Otira e kore e tupu te mahi a te Minita ki te whakakeke te iwi, ki te kore e whai whakaaro ki nga mea e ngahau ai nga mahi a te Hahi, ki te kore e puta te inoi a tenei, a tenei, kia tukua nuitia mai ki te Minita te Wairua Tapu hei whakaako, hei whakakaha i a ia, e rite ai tana mahi ki ta Te Karaiti I pai ai.
Tetahi mahi ma te iwi e whakahaua ana e nga Apotoro a Te Karaiti, ko te whakaputa ite oranga mo nga Minita. "Te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te Kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kai-whakaako ki mnga mea pai katoa." "Nga kai-kauwhau ite RongoDail, . hei runga , anO i tē REREOT PAI he oranga mo ratou. INKei ta mohio tatou, ko te oranga e puta ana ki te Minita inaianei, ehara ite oranga ranea. Ko tetahi mea nui tenei hei whakaarohanga ma te Hahi Maori, me kore e taea te whakaputa i te kohikohi i nga Ratapu katoa hei whakaranea ake ite oranga mo te Minita o ia pariha, o ia pariha. Tenei ano kei te puta te whakaaro o te taha Pakeha o te Hahi, he aroha ki te taha Maori; otira ehara i te mea tika kia mahi ko te taha Pakeha anake, kia noho noa iho te taha Maori.
Tetahi tohu o te ora o te whakapono ki a Te Karaiti, ko te kakama ki te kukaams mai i etahi ki raro i te maru o Te KaraiW.. Kou Te. Karaiti poroals nei Ba tenecl ki tana Fiahi ia iā e Hoki ata 'awa kī te Ranei, Ī mua, ite mea katahi ano t am: Māori kā maa. ki Ke RUA Da, E ngahaūi ana ngā mahi latoaW VI Kai nei kua rere ke, kua heke te tupu o te tangata. Kahore nei hoki e ngakau nui ana ki te karakia ;ko nga tangata e huihui ana ki te karakia, kahore e kakama te whakatika ki te whakahua i te whakamoemiti ki te Atua, kahore hoki e tuku i nga turi ki raro i te mea e
inoi ana ki te Atua; ko nga tamariki, kahore e whakaakona ana ki te tikanga o to ratou urunga ki te Tinana o Te Karaiti ;ko te kawe i te Rongo-pai ki nga motu e kiia nei ko Melanesia, kahore e whakaaroa nuitia ana. Ngakau-kore ana te tangata ki enei, ngakaunui ke ki te tini o nga whakaahuareka ote ao, ki nga mea e whakaware nei i nga mahara ~ E. tangata iacore ai e lNahia -MIAINRA mea e ora äi'te wairua. Tetahi hua o tenei ko te ruarua o nga tangata mo te whakau, i kore ai e nui haere te tokomaha o te hinga e pa ana ki te Hapa ate Ariki.
Tena ano hoki tetahi mea e tupato rawa ai nga tangata o te Hahi, ko te mahi maminga a te hunga e kiia nei, he tohunga Maori, I kiia ai, he maminga, he whakaputa na ratou i etahi kupu pai i te timatanga hei whakaware i te tangata, kia maharatia ai kei ta Te Karaiti huarahi i whakatakoto ai e haere ana ; otira, kia roaroa e mahi ana, kua kitea, he kukume ke i te tangata kei whakawhirimau EI aTe Karai. TIA raka e whai mei, ehara i te mea ko te tangata kia whakapono ki a Te Karaiti, ko te Karaiti ranei kia whakanuia ; engari ko ratou ano kia whai ingoa.
Te tuara mo tatou, e taea ai te karo nga rakau katoa a te hoa-riri, ko te Wairua ĪTapu anake, e riro tonu nei ite tangata e inoi ana; he wareware nei hoki no tatou ki te inoi i tenei i kore ai e kaha te whawhai ki te hoa-riri. -Ko te tino mahi tenei ma tatou i tenei wa, ko te inoi tonu i taua Wairua kia ringihia nuitia mai e te Atua ki tenei wahi o Rama FTahi,
