TE PUREI KOROWHA.
He tino pono tenei korero, na tetahi pakeha raua ko tetahi rangatira Maori rongonui, he mea tuku mai ki a matou. Ma te tangata e uta atu tenei korero ki era atu mahi takahi i te Hapati. Maori. Kanui te pai o te purei korowha (golf)? Pakeha. Ae, kanui te pai mo nga uaua. M. Kanui te pai ote purei ite Ratapu ? P. Ae, ko te rangi kore mahi hoki tera. M. Na wai te ki, he rangi kore mahi te Ratapu ? He mahi ano ra to tera rangi, he karakia. P. Ko etahi e haere ana kite karakia, ko etahi, e noho noa iho ana. Haere ai au kite karakia i te ata, i te ahiahi o te Ratapu, kaore he karakia o muri i te tina, a he aha he mahi mo waenganui o te karakia o te ata, o te ahiahi? M. He korero i nga Karaipiture Tapu. Na wai te Paipera i mau mai ki Niu Tireni ? P. Na matou, na te Pakeha. M. Kati ra, eki ana te Ture 4o to Paipera. Kia whakatapua te Ratapu, me mahi koe i era atu rangi, ko taua ra anake, me whakatapu. Akuanei pea, kua tae mai ano tetahi atu paipera hou kei a koe, kei te pakeha, e mea ana te Ture 4 o tena paipera hou, “me purei korowha nga tangata katoa e hiahia ana ki tena purei i te Ratapu.” Noho puku ana te Pakeha. Na e hoa ma, e hara i te mea e whakahe ana kite purei korowha, engari, e whakahe ana kite mahi pahika noa atu, ka mutu mai nga ra mo a tatou mahi, ka hao noa atu te ngakau kite ra kotahi mo nga mahi ki Te Atua, kia riro mai ano hoki mo a tatou nei mahi. He takiwa ano mo ia mahi, mo ia mahi, mo ia takaro, mo ia takaro; kaua e tangohia te wa o te mahi mo te ahuareka, te wa o te karakia mo nga mahi ote ao. He wa ano mo te whangai i te tinana, he wa ano mo te whangai i te wairua.
