REV. ERUERA KAWHIA.
Ahakoa kua puta te whakamaharatanga a nga tangata 0 te Kareti i Te Raukahikatea kite matenga o to ratou kaumatua, ka panuitia tonutia nga korero mona e tukua mat ana e nga hoa. Kaore rawa e mutu to matou awangawanga kite matenga o Rev, Eruera Kawhia. —Etna. Ki Te Etita o Te Pipiwharauroa, E hoa, tena koe. Kua tae noa atu ki a koe te rongo kua mate to tatou kaumatua a Eruera Kawhia, i te i o nga ra o Noema nei. 1 mate tonu ia kite marae i powhiritia ai e ia tona taonga, te Kctahitanga o nga tamariki o Te Aute i te raumati ka taha nei. He maha nga pai o tenei tangata i tangihia nuitia ai e ona hapu o Ngatiporou. Ko ia te kai-whaka-hauhau o nga mahi o te Whakapono ki roto o Waiapu i runga i tona taha minita: nona te reo mana ki runga i ona hapu i runga i tona taha rangatira : ko ia te marae o Ngatiporou, te kai-mau o te iwi, te kai-titotiro o te pani, o te pouaru, o te rawa-kore, o te koroua, o te kuia, i runga i te taha manaaki, kaore tahi ana whakahawea kite tangata. Ko tona papa rawa o mua atu i a ia i rite ki tona ahua, i huia ki runga ki a ia nga ahua maha, mete mau tonu o te mana i runga i ona taha huhua. I poto i a ia nga mahi katoa i haca e tona ngakau nga wawata katoa e taea ana e te ngakau rnaori, i a ia e ora ana, a kaore he mea i takoto noa i runga i ona ngutu anake, i kore te whakakorikoria e ia kia whai tinana e kiia ai he mahi. Nga tikanga atahua o to tatou taha maori i mau i a ia, a kumea mai ai ki roto ki nga tikanga atahua o te taha pakeha o muri nei. Ka haere tahi i runga i tona arero te Whakapapa mete Kauwhau; i a ia tahi te manaaki tangata mete whakapai marae kia tu pakeha te tangata, te ruke moni ki runga ki nga kohi huhua a te iwi mete whakahau kia mahia nga whenua o te maori kia whai moni ai. Tera atu era karapititanga a tona arero, a ona whakaaro i nga tikanga a nga iwi e rua nei. Ka riro ia i te mate. Ka waiho pani te
iwi. Kei a matou kei ona tamariki o ona kura, ote Kotahitanga o Te Aute, te papa-a-Hikitai. Ko matou ona manaaki o ona ra whakamutunga ki tenei ao, i kitea ai i kona te kaha o te toronga haeretanga o ona whakaaro, kite tautoko i nga huarahi katoa, e puta ai he painga ki tona iwi maori; ka whakamanawa ia i nga ra i he ai ia ki nga wawata i whakapurangatia ki tona aroaro e ona tamariki o ia iwi, o ia iwi. Haere ra e koro ! “ Tangihia kia nui te tangi ki a ia Apa ianei he mate i te marama e He mate e hoki mai kia tatou e.” Heoi ano. Na Apirana T. Ngata.
