INAIANEIANO.
E kiia ana i te mauranga mai i tetahi tupapaku 1 roto i te kawhena kia Haare Tawha, tetahi o nga minita Maori tuatahi —ka tu ia ka whai-korero ki taua tupapaku : “ Eta, kia ngaro ki roto o te rakau ka haramai ai ki au ? Ite tangihanga o taku pere kaore koe i haramai. Kei te rongo ake koe ?” Ehara taku i te tautoko i te tikanga a Haare Tawha, engari he whakaatu i te whakaakoranga o roto o tenei korero kia tatou. He nui nga tangata e mahi ana mo te reinga i to ratou oranga, engari kia whakatata kite mate, kanui to ratou hiahia kite piki kite rangi. He tikanga tutua tenei, he mahi tahae. E hoa ma kaua e tukua kia pirau rawa ka tahuri ai kite Atua, engari hei inaianei ano , kei kaha ana te tinana, kei marama ana nga whakaaro kite mahi ki to tatou Kai-whakaora. E kore e mohiotia he pono to tatou ripeneta i te mea e whakahemohemo ana, he wehi noa ranei ite mate. I rongo au i tetahi tangata i ki e ripeneta ana ia i a ia ka tata te hemo, otira kaore ia i mate engari i ora mai, a i tona tino oranga ka ngaro te ripeneta, ka hoki ano ki tona ahua tawhito. Ko tona wehi ite mate i pohehe ia he ripeneta. He whakatauki na te pakeha “ Leave not for to-morrow what you can do to-day ” “kaua e waiho mo apopo ka mahi ai i te mea e ahei koe kite mahi i tenei ra.” Eki ana ko te kupu tapu : “ Nana, te wa manakobanga mai, nana tenei te ra o te whakaoranga.” Inaianei ano! Kei taihoa, a taihoa tonu atu ! Te Awangawanga.
