Hepetema 12 o nga ra, 1859. Ko te matenga o Paora Tirua, o tetahi o nga Rangatira o Waikato 7 o nga ra o Hepetema. He nui te pai o tenei Rangatira, kaore heßangatira hei rite mona te nui o tana tobe ki nga tikanga o te Rongo pai 0 te Atua; kihai ia i wliakaaroaroa rua ki nga tikanga o tenei ao engari pumau tonu ia ki nga tikanga e abu mai ana i te Atua. I taku taenga atu kite tiroiiro i a ia, ka patai atu ahou ki a ai, " e Paora e mahara anaranei koeki to Kaiwbakaora?"kapuaki tana kupu ka mea, '*ae e whakaaro ana ahau ko te Karaiii loku kai liaki, toku kai •whakaora.piri tonu auki a ia, hei okiokinga te Atua moku." I muri iau ka puia mai tetahi tangata no Ngatitapa, ka mea kia tikina atu he tohunga maori hei karakia i a ia, kaore ia i pai ki taua tikanga. Ko te tuatahi tena o ana whakaaro pai, ko te pehi i era atu pakanga, kite ihu Taroa ki Horea. Kihai ia i whakaaroaro rua ki nga tikanga o te ture, tapatabi tonu tana whakaaro kia noho ia i runga 1 te Ture, ara i tera i homai e te Kawanatanga i runga o Paelai; kore la i wakaaro ki nga tikanga raruraru a te tangata, tapatahi tonu lana wakaaro ki nga tikanga e pai ai te tangata e ora ai a taea noatia lera i tangohia alu ai ia e te Atua kaore he pouritanga o taku whakaaro ta te mea kua whili atu ia ite male kite oranga. Engari e nga rangatira tai lamariki o Waikato, mekorero koutou ki o koulou matua rangatira, kia pumau ki nga tikanga a te Rongo pai o te Alua ki nga lure boki mo te tinana o te tangala, kia wakariterite tika ralou kia tupu ai he pai ki runga kite wbenua, e boa ma ekore koulou e pouri kite kuare roa o nga langala maori ki nga tikanga o te whakapono ki te Alua, o nga tikanga hoki o te wliakariterite tika ki nga tangala maori? Nakonei tatou te matau ai na te i akeke o nga rangatira maori ki nga tikanga omua, ka mate te tupapaku, ka haerenga uhunga e wha nga tikanga he i rolo, he aroha te mea tika, he wakaaro kite kai nga likanga he i roto, he taki tetahi, he wliakarawukore tetahi ki taku whakaaro he tikanga whakaiti tenei mo nga tupapaku, tale mea kua kinakilia le aroho ki roto i enei mea etoru. Naku Na R.wvinr, Kai whakaako kura kei Rauwhiiu Waikaio.
