TE RAUKAHIKATEA.
NO te 2 o tenei marama ka whakatuwheratia te whare karakia o Te Raukahikatea ete Pihopa o Waiapu. He tokomaha nga kaumatua o Turanga nei i tae mai kite whakatau i te powhiri a nga tamariki o te Kareti. Te moni i kohia e £32, i whakaaria e Apirana Ngata £lO. Kaore i nui te tangata otira a te torutoru i tae mai he nui te kohi. Ko Peni te ua rawa to Heretaunga i tae mai. I runga i te whai korero a Te Tiatene, kaiwhakaako o te Kareti, i mea ia e rua nga take i kaha ai tona whakaaro kia hanga he wharekarakia mo te Kareti: Tuatahi, hea mea tika kia timata atu te whakaako i nga minita i roto i te whare-karakia; tuarua, he mea tika hoki kia whakaturia kite Kareti na Te Wiremu Renata nei i timata, he whakamaharata-
nga ki a ia. I whanau aTe Wiremu ki roto ite Maori a e mate ki roto ite Maori. I puta tana tono ki nga minita katoa o te Hahi o Ingarangi o te taha pakeha kia whakaaro mai ki tana inoi. Hui katoa te moni i puta mai e £'i' 2o - Kia £SO kei te toe atu ka oti pai. Na te pakeha anake te nuinga o tenei moni he iti nei ta te Maori. No te wa ano e tono ana te Hahi Maori kite pakeha, e tono ana hoki te Komiti o te Kura Kotiro i Akarana, ka rere tana tono, a, ahakoa he taumaha katoa enei tono nui atu te aroha ote iwi pakeha. I mohio hoki ia e hiahia ana te Iwi Maori kite awhina ano i a ia. Itu mai a Rutene te Arahi, a Peka Kerekere, a Tame Arapata me Apirana Ngata kite whakahoki mai i ngakokero aTe Tiatene. I mea a Apirana Ngata me karanga he hui nui mo te kawanga o te whare hei whakaoti hei whakapai hoki i nga wahi he ote kareti. I tautoko te huihuinga i tenei whakaaro a i mea a Te Tiatene me ata whakaaro marie. Kite tu he hui, aki te nui hoki te moni me hoatu tetahi wahi mo te Kura Kotiro i Akarana. I puta nga kupu whakamihi a Apirana Ngata mo Wikitoria kareti, e kiia ana he whare pai atu. Kanui te whakamihi ote tangata kite whare-karakia o Te Rau, kei aia anake tona hanga. E4l putu te roa, 16 te whanui. Ko nga toetoe o tetuanui he pereki papa. Ko teteparatetahi mea pai atu o tenei whare, kaore he tepara hei rite ; ko te wahi hei korerotanga pukapuka e whakairoa ana ete Maori. Engari ko te hanga o tenei whare i whakaritea mo te kareti ehara i te mea mo te whare karakia pariha. E whakamihi ana matou mo te kaha oTe Tiatene kite hanga i tona whare, nana anake i tono nga moni. Ina kua tu te whare mo nga iwi katoa.
