NGA MEA KINO ME NGA MEA PAI.
Ata whakaaro ki enei hunga e rua, —nga ika pai, me nga ikakino, to hunga mate, mete hunga ora. Heaha ianei te hunga mate? Ko ratou e manako kore ana, e ngoikore ana, e Karaiti kore ana j otira, ehara ratou i te hunga kua purua nga whakaaro. Tenei ano tc wahi e puta nui ai nga whakaaro o ratou, e rongo ai i te nui o te mamae, no te mea hoki, kahore i tahuri mai ratou ki a te Karaiti kia ora ai. Titiro kite hunga i whakapaia. Titiro atu ki a ratou hore he koingo j horerawa he roimata e heke ana; ma te Atua hoki emuru nga roimata i o ratou karno. Titiro ki a ratou i whawhai nci i te whawhai pono, a, e raau ana nga karauna o te oranga i runga i a ratou, te karauna, kua oti nei te taka e te Atua mo ratou. katoa e aroha ana ki te putanga mai ote Ariki. E whakapono ana koutou ki tenei ? Kite mea e whakapono ana koutou ki tenei, ekore e mura nui te aroha i roto i a koutou kite hunga Karaiti kore? E kore ianei koutou e aroha nui kia a koutou ano, kite raano hoki o te tangata e mate nci i te matauranga kore ki a Ihu Karaiti te Ariki ? A, keihea te roa o te wa e tu kau ai ? I rongo tatou i tera po e kumea ana te kupengs, kiuta, hei whiriwhiringa mo nga mea, kino me nga mea pai. Katahi ka tino mana nga kupu o te Ariki ki toku ngakuu, i taku rongonga, kotahi ano motu e toe nei i te ao,
kahore ano i whiwhi noa kite te kauwhautanga ote rongo pai hei tohu. Iki iho to tatou Ariki, "A ko tenei rongo pai o te rangatiratanga e kauwhautia i te ao katoa, hei tohu ki nga iwi katoa, ko rcira puta tnai ai te mutunga." Katahi nei ano au ka kite i te pai, i te mana whakamataku o te E-unanga ta Paipera o Piritena, me era atu whenua, i rongo hoki au, kua tuwhaina te kupu o te Atua i roto i nga reo .ke, kotahi rau ewha te kau ma waru. Tapoko tonu tenei rongo ki roto ki toku ngakau. Tukua hoki ki tapoko ki o koutou ngakau.—jVa Motekiu Wiria, Minita Ilonore M. A.
