Tenei kei te 22 o nga ra o Maehe ka tu te purei whakateretere poti i te ritenga ki Taputeranga i te Whanga nui o Roto—be purei whakatere etahi, he mea hoe nei ano etahi. Akuanei te rupeke ai kaioa nga pakeha o te taone ki reira matakitaki ai. Kotahi pea i kore ai e mene ki reira he kove poti hei uta atu —he iti no nga poti o te taone. Kite ai poti a nga maori tera e rite he moni ma te tangata nana kite hoehoe pakeha i taua rangi. Katihi nno ka whakaturia tenei hanga te purei poti i tenei kainga, engari kei Po Neke, kei etahi kainga atu hoki o te moutere r.ei, ko tana hanga tonu ia i roto i nga tau katoa. Katahi hoki ka waiho hei tikanira tumau mo konei i roto i nga tau k,uoa e takoto ake nei. Ko to te pakeha ahua aro hoki tenei o tona kainga mai ra ano. he purei—he purei hoiho, he purei poti, he whai noa atu ki etahi atu mahi hau i te tangata. He tikanga pai hoki ia hei whakaora i te tinana o te tangata, koi ngoikore, koi manawapiri noa i te nohoanga. Tetahi, he mea whakakaha ia i te hinengaro o te tangata. Ka noho tonu te tangata i runga i nga mahi oranga mona, i te ao i te po, kaore he tanga o te manawa i roto i nga takiwa katoa, he he tona mutunga iho ; ka tau te pouri, te hoha kite ngakau, he mate tona otinga. Tena ka haere ka whakangahau te tangata i a ia. ■LI* • 7 • » *» *", noki rawa mai ki ona mahi maori kua mama ake te ngakau, kua marama nga vvhakaaro. Tetahi painga o aua mahi, he Avhakatupu i te aroha, he whakahoa tetahi ki tetahi. Hei runga i te purei rawa ka kitekite nga hoa riri, nga hoa tautohe, i a ratou; ka kite i runga i te pai, kaore he putanga mo nga whakaaro kino no te mea e riro ana te aro ki runga an ake kite tikanga i haere mai ai, ara, i te purei. No konei matou ka ki, he aha ra i kore ai e hui mai nga maori ki aua mahi, ratou tahi kote pakeha? Heoti ano nga tikanga e kitekite ai te pakeha raua ko te maori i a raua, i enei takiwa ka pahure atu nei, ko
nga tikanga e tupu ai te tautohe; ara, ko te hoko, ko te korero whenua, ko te reti, ko te aha noa atu. Na ehara enei mahi i te mea whakatupu i te aroha, no te mea e puta ana te tautohe i roto i aua mahi; uaua ana tetahi, uaua ana tetahi, waiho iho te tohu i runga i te ngakau he mauahara. Engari ko nga tautohe me waiho mo te rangi ote tautohe; koia hoki nga mahi ahuareka, mo te rangi o te ahuarekatanga. Me penei he tikanga mo tatou kia tika ai ki a tatou te ki o mua ; —" Ko Rauru tang'ata tahi." E mea ana matou hei tetahi tau me pena ano koutou me matou; me tahuri koutou kite kohikohi moni mo tetahi purei maori—hei te waka maori nei ano he poti, kia kite nga pakeha o Heretaunga te tore o tena hanga. Kia pena hoki me nga maori o Po Neke i roto i nga purei pakeha. Tera ano e pai nga pakeha kite hoatu i etahi moni me ka panuitia ki aratou taua ritenga, Kia whakaaro marire koutou ki ta matou korero mo tetahi tau, kia mahi tahi tatou i nga mahi whakatupu i te pai, i te aroha, i te kotahitanga.
