TE HOARI ME TE RIPEKA.
I te mea kaore ano te whawhai ki Awherika kia timata noa, ka ki a Kurutia, e tom haora ia i inoi ai kite Atua mehemea e tika ana kia whawhai ia kite Ingarihi, a whakaaetia mai ana e te Atua. I whakamanamana ano ia i mea ma Ihowa e whakatika te mataa a te Poa, e whakakotiti ke ta te Ingarihi, a he mutunga mo Ingarangi ka pera me Heriko i horo nei i te aroaro o te ope a Ihowa o nga mano. He whakaaro na te Poa ko ratou te iwi whiriwhiri a te Atua, ko te awa o Waara a Horano, ko Taranawaara a Kanaana. Kei te pohehe ratou no ratou anake te Atua, a mehemea he tangata te Atua, kua pororaru noa iho nga whakaaro i te kore e mohio ko te hea taha ra e awhina, i te mea e karanga katoa ana nga taha e rua ki a la. E kore matou e whai kupu mo te whakapono o te Poa ; te hohonutanga, te papakutanga ranei, engari he kupu ruarua nei a matou mo te taha kite Ingarihi. Ko Kuini Wikitoria te upoko o “ te ran gat i rat an ga e kore nei te ra e toene ki runga.” Kite uia ki a ia, “ He aha te rahi o Ingarangi ?” tera ia e whakahoki mai “ Ko te Paipera.” Kite korerotia nga korero whakapapa o Ingarangi, onamata a mohoa noa nei, tera e marama ko te Atua tona kai-
arahi, kai-tiaki, a heoi ano e whakarerea ai a Ingarangi e Ihowa ma tona wareware ki a la. E hari ana matou mo te puta o te whakaaro o etahi o nga hoia nunui o Ingarangi kite whakapono ; he pera ano etahi o nga apiha ririki, me tenei hoki i te parangeeki nei o te hoia. Kua rongo te tangata mo Tianara Korano, te tianara Karaitiana. E kiia ana he mahi nana te inoi ahakoa e haere ana kite whawhai. Mehemea kei te inoi ia ka waiho tona aikiha ma ki waho o tona teneti, hei tohu kite tangata kia kaua rawa e tomo ki roto, kei whakaohooho i a ia, ahakoa he aha te korero. Ko Awheraka tetahi tianara rongonui ote Ingarihi. I puta tona ingoa i nga whawhaitanga i Inia. He tino tangata whakapono tenei, kaore hoki tona rama i hunaia ki raro 1 te puhera. I huaina etahi o ana hoia “ko te hunga tapu a Awheraka.” la ia e whakahemohemo ana he taotu, ka puaki tana kupu, “ Matakitaki ki to te Karaitiana matenga.” I te oranga o Reirimete ka patua e Rore Rapata tana waea ki a Tianara Waiti, “ Kia whakapaingia te Atua, mona i whakarongo mai ki nga inoi a te iwi.” He tangata whakapono a Rapata kite kaha ote inoi, inahoki kua whakahaua e ia ana hoia katoa kia inoi i tetahi inoi he mea ata tuhituhi, he inoi tino pai atu nga kupu, kua panuitia e nga nu-pepa pakeha, a kua whakamaoritia hei titiro ma tenei ite mangere nei kite karanga atu kite Atua o Awheraka, o Korano, o Rapata, o Kuini Wikitoria. Tera atu ano etahi hoia nunui e kore ana e whakaparahako kite Kara ote Ripeka, kaati ko enei e korero ake, ko enei o nga uri o Koroniria. E tino mohiotia ana tenei iwi te hoia he iwi tutu, he iwi whakaaro-kore ki te Atua, otira kua kitea he hoia etahi tangata whakapono atu i te ao. No wai ianei te whakapono i kiia nei e te Karaiti, “ Kahore ano ahau i kite noa i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui, i roto i a Iharaira P” Kite kaha te tangata kite whakapono i runga ite mahi hoia, ko wai e kore e kaha kite whakapono ina hiahia kia whakapono ? Ahakoa he aha te mahi a te tangata ka taea ia e te Atua te whakaora i a ia ano i roto o taua mahi, otira kite kore ia e taea ete Atua te whakaora ko taua mahi na te rewera, me whakarere atu. Ka tika hoki te whakatupato a Ratiata Kipiringi i tona iwi : E te Atua o matou tupuna, i matauria inamata, Te kai-hautu o nga matua e pae nei; Kei raro i te kapakapa o ton ringa, O matou mana e whakahaere nei. E te Ariki e te Atua o nga mano e noho kia matou Kei wareware —kei wareware matou.
