§TE mutunga o tetahi kauwhautanga o te rongo pai i haere mai tetahi taitamariki ki ahau ka mea mai ia ki ahau, •' Ki to mohio ki to whakaaro ranei ka whiwhi te tangata i te' oranga tonutanga inaianei tomi, ina ka hiahia atu ia ?". j Ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, " Ae ra, eaha hoki te kore ai, no te mea e ai ta te Atua, " Nana, tend te wa manakohanga mai; nana tenet ra o te whakaoranga."—2. Koriniti ! 6, 2.—"Kia tangohia noatia ano te wai ora e te tangata e hiahia Whakakitenga

22.17. Kahore te taitamariki e tino pai ai kiaua kupu. Katahi ahau ka ui atu ki a ia, E whakaae ana ranei koe ko koe he tangata hara ki to te Atua titiro ? Ka mea mai ia kiahau, “Ae ra, me pehea ,te kore. E mohio ana ahau ho tangata hara ahau.” He ahau kata tana i aia nei i mea mai taua kupu ki ahau. Katahi ahau ka ui atu ki a ia, “ Ka mohio koe ho tangata hara koe a, km ngaro hoki?" Ka me mai ia Id ahau, 11 E kore pea e taea e ahau ki te whakaae i tena mea.” Ko te putaki tera o te raruraru nona !

Ka pehea te ahua ate tangata e tohutohungia ana e te Atua he tangata ki mua mo te roto ahi? Te tangata kohuru, te tangata korero teka ranei? Kao. Engari, nga tangata epera ana me koe e kore e kino rawa jTe hunga wehi ! Te hunga whakatoka!
