TE ROPU KARAITIANA O NGA TANGATA KARETI.
I tera tau he roa ta matou korero wbakamarama mo tenei kotahitanga, ara te Ropu Karaitiana o Te Ao o Nga Tangata Kareti. Kua eke kite tekau-ma-tahi nga peka o tenei kotahitanga: (1) Kereti Piritani (Ingarangi, Kotarani, me Aerani); (2) Amerika, (3) Huitini, Nowei, Tenemaaka; (4) Tiamana; (5) Taake, Kanaana, Ihipa; (6) Inia meHirona; (7) Ahitereiria me Niu Tireni; (8) Haina ; (g) Tiapani; (10) Awherika kite Tonga; (n) Wiwi, Horana, Peratiamu, me Huitarani. Kua eke kite 55,000 nga tangata kareti, wahine, tane, kua uru ki tenei ropa, ahakoa kaore ano kia rima nga tau o tona whanautang a. Ko nga kareti nunui anake e ahei te tapoko, kaore nga kura ririki; ko Te Aute anake te kura Maori o Niu Tireni kua uru. Te take o tenei kotahitanga, hei paihere i nga tangata kareti i te ao, hei whakakaha i te whakapono i roto i nga kareti, hei hapai i te whakapono o o ratou whenua, o te ao katoa hoki. Kua taiawhiotia te ao katoa, a ko ona apiha kaore i te iwi kotahi engari kei te ao katoa. Waiho nga kawanatanga o te ao kia ri-riri ana, ko te hunga Karaitiana ia o nga kareti o ia kawanatanga, 0 ia mana, o ia whenua, kei te pupuri nga ringa, kei te tauherea nga ngakau e te aroha o te Karaiti. Ka rite mo ratou te kupu i kiia e nga tau-tangata mo nga Karaitiana o mua, “ Titiro kite aroha 0 nga Karaitiana tetahi ki tetahi.” I korerotia ano e matou te tuunga o te hui ki Whakatu i tera tau, a te manga o Niu Tireni o tenei ope nui, i tae ai etahi o nga tamariki o Te Aute me etahi atu. Kua tu ano te hui tuarua, kotahi rau nga tangata kareti i tae, no Ahitereiria etahi i tae mai. He nui te pai o taua hui. I tono nga kai-whakahaere o taua hui kia tu tetahi tangata kite whakaatu 1 te ahua me nga mate e pa ana kite iwi Maori o Niu Tireni. I te kore tino Maori i reira ka tu ko Mihi Kiiti o Te Aute kite whai-korero. I uiui etahi 0 nga tangata kareti mehemea e watea kia ratou he huarahi e ahei ai ratou te whakaako i te iwi Maori. Ko te piakeha kei te aroha noa mai ki nga wairua o nga Maori, tena ko te Maori kaore i te aro ake ; heoi ano ta ratou e tino whakaaro ana ko te oranga anake o tenei ao, mehemea nei e ora tonu ana ratou ake, ake, ake. Ehara i te mea e 55,000 tonu nga tangata kareti whakapono i te ao, kaore, ko nga mea anake enei kua tuhia nga ingoa. E te iwi, titiro kei te kai-ngakautia te mahi nei te
whakapono e nga tangata matau, te main e kore nei e pirangitia e tatou. No wai-te he, no te Atua no tatou ranei, i kore ai tatou e mohio kite ngahautanga, kite hari, ki te pai, kite rangimarie ote whakapono ? Kei pohehe tatou kotahi ano te tu o te pakeha o te ao, he penei me a tatou e mohio nei, he tutua, he atua-kore, he reo-kino, he koropiko kite moni hei atua mo ratou.
