TE URANGA O TE RA.
Ki a Te Pipiwharauroa, E manu, tena koe. Ruia haeretia enei kupu tomtom o tenei o marae, ki era o mare. No nga ra o Hurae nei i tae mai ai a te Reweti T. Mokena Kohere, tetahi o Etita, ki konei kia kite i tona koka, i ona taina, me tona iwi i a Ngatiporou. I karakia haere ia i nga pakeha me nga Maori o tenei takiwa. I karakia ano ia i nga tamariki o te kura o Te Araroa me Tikitiki. I puta tana mihi mo nga tamariki o enei kura, mo to ratou kakama, mo to ratou ma. Engari te kura kua tino piki inaianei ko Rangitukia, ko te kura a Tawa-mapua. I te whakamatautauranga a Te Pope nuku atu i te 93 i roto i te 100 i puta. Kihai i taea e Te Pope te pupuri tona ngakau mihi. Ko te toru tenei o nga
tau i riro ai i nga tamariki o Rangitukia te moni aTe Makarini. Te rironga tuatahi i a Terei Ngatai, ko ia kei runga o Te Ante inaianei, te rironga tuarua i a Niha Te Kahukahu, te rironga i tera tau i a Te Mauri Mauheni, te mokopuna a Hakaraia Mauheni. Kanui te kaha o Mita Hamutana kite ako ia Te Paaka Turei mo te whakamatautauranga a tenei tau. Nui atu te kaha o tenei pakeha, e ako ana ia i ona tamariki ite po. Ka kino te haere a Rangitukia ! Ki toku • whakaaro me puta he tohu aroha a “Te Uranga-o-te-ra,” mete Kawanatanga kite kai whakaako o Rangitukia. Tetahi aroha ma nga tamariki kua whiwhi neiki te moni a Te Makarini i runga i tana whakaakoranga. No te 22 0 nga ra o Hurae ka mate a Anaru Te Kahaki ki Te Rahui. He tino rangatira tenei tangata no Ngati Porou, he whanaunga tata no Mokena Kohere. Ko te hiku tenei o nga rangatira kaumatua o Ngati Porou. I konei a R.T.Mokena Kohere ka mate a Te Kahaki, he tuakana kia ia, a ko ia te kai karakia i nga tangihanga. I ingoa nui ai tenei tangata a Te Kahaki he ngawari he pupuri nona ite whenua. Apopo pea te whenua haehaea ai e nga tamariki. Katahi ano te rangatira kaore au i rongo e kiia ana he makutu te take o te mate, ko etahi atu rangatira he mea makutu katoa, ahakoa na te piwa i patu. Kei te noho pani Ngati Porou inaianei, kaore he minita. Ko Rev. Mohi Turei, me Rev Hone Waitoa kei Turanga, ko Rev. Eruera Kawhia he tangata matemate, kaati ko tona kainga hoki kei te hukinga o Waiapu. Te tino mahi i enei ra he mahi “kanataraki,” ara he tua ngahere. Ahakoa na te kaha o nga uaua, na te maringitanga o te kakawa i riro mai ai te hereni, kaore rawa etahi tangata e uhupoho ki te moumou i a ratou moni mo te waipiro. Kei te pakeha anake pea te tikanga o tana whakatauki, “Easy come, easy go i ngawari te haerenga mai i ngawari hoki te haerenga atu. Te tino mahi tuturu a Ngatiporou he whakatipu liipi, engari kei a te Maori whakatipu ano i te hipi. Te teihana totika rawa ko Reporua; te kai-whakahaere ko Te Kairakau P. Pleihi. Kati noa e ‘Te Pipi nga korero mo tenei tuhinga atu. Kia ora koe, me o matua. Kia kaha to tangi, kia u, kia marama, hei whakaoho hei arahi, hei tohutohu i te iwi Maori. Heoi kahuri Na Te Kakataarau. Hine-ki- Waiapu, Akuhata 1, 1899.
