He kupu atu tenei na matou ki a koutou, nga maori o Heretaunga, mo a koutou mahinga kai kia taiepatia kite taiepa uaua, kia koreai e takahia e te hoiho, e te kau. Ko te take tenei o etahi o nga kino o te pakeha raua ko te maori i tenei kainga i nga takiwa kua hori atu nei. Ko nga taiepa ehara i te mea tikanga ; he mea here noaiho etahi kite harakeke, kite kareao ; oioi kau ana i te puhanga o te hau—ko te haerenga atu o te hoiho, o te kau, he hinga anake, a, ka pau nga kai. Heoi, pouri ana te maori, pouri ana hoki te pakeha. Ko te pouri o te maori, ko ana kai ka pau ; ko te pouri o te pakeha, ko ana kuri ka hopungia—katahi ka tupu he totohe, mauahara ana tetahi ki tetahi. He aha koia koutou te tahuri ai kite hanga taiepa penei me ta te pakeha ? Ehara koe i te tangata iwingohe. He tokomaha hoki o koutou tamariki e haereere noa ana i runga
ite hoiho haere noa ai—he aha to whakamahi ai ? Ekore auo hoki e taea te here i uga waewae o tenei taugata o te kau, o te hoiho rauei. Ka kite ano i te wahi kai, ka hoki auau ki taua wahi ano. Kite mea e hiahia ana koutou kia ngaro euei he, me tahuri koutou kite hanga i n<*a taiepa kia pai; ka kore, ka nui haere te raruraru apopo—ka nui haere te hoiho mete kau, ka nui haere hoki te takahi i nga mahiuga kai. Na koutou ano i tuka te whenua hei haerenga mo nga kuri o te pakeha, riro ana hoki nga mom a te pakeha i a koutou i runga i te hoko, i runga i tereti. Ekore hoki e tikate ki rnai kaore koutou i mohio ki te.ahua o tenei hanga o te kau, o te hoiho ; kao, i mohio ano koutou—me te reti tonu koutou i te whenua i runga ito koutou matauranga. Heoi ano ta te pakeha ki a koutou ko ana moni mo nga wahi e reti ana ki a ia ; ko nga wahi e puritia ana e koutou, ma koutou ano ena e hanga kite taiepa totika—ki te mea e welri ana koutou koi takahia. Ka noho whare kore au, ka mate au i te hauaitu ; ka hanga whare au moku, katahi au ka ora. Ko te mahi tika tenei ma ruuanga mehemea e aro ana ki nga tfkanga e ora ai te katoa. Parau noa ana kite whakatakoto " ture kati hipi," (he poka uoa ki te mahi ate taugata); te tahuri kite whakatakoto "ture taiepa," (he oranga mo te taugata). Koi mea koutou he mea iti tenei mea; kaore, he mea nui ia. E rite ana kite whewhe e tupu ana kite tinana ote taugata ; nawai ra i iti te mamae, i iti, ka nui haere hoki—a, ma te mea ka maua, ka pehia te pirau ki waho, katahi ka ora.
