HAERE MAI E TE KOTUKU RERENGA TAHI, TE MANUHIRI TUARANGI.

To His Royal Highness, Edward, Prince of Wales.

YE, who lie in the dark chambers of Death, come forth and hearken! Ye who sleep the long last sleep, arise! Stand forth and give welcome, for 10! the Firstborn of the Line draws near, Eldest of Him, whose face ye saw on this twice-honoured ground!

Son! Lord! Welcome! Majesty! return once more following the way your Father trod. Least among the peoples that acclaim his " mana," we give place to none in service and loyalty, and thus we greet Thee.

Welcome to these the furthest Isles of the Southern Seas. Welcome to Aotearoa ! Welcome to Te Waipounamu ! Our hearts are full of gladness.

Come in the glory of Victory! Once more the bonds that knit the Empire in one allegiance have held true. Your Father came to us after a war that added a bright Jewel, the Diamond of Africa, to the Imperial Crown. You come, a Soldier Prince, the embodiment of a greater Victory, won over the forces of oppression and lawlessness. The world has been saved for Freedom, wherein the peoples great and small may grow side by side without fear.

Bring with you memories of our beloved dead. They live again, who strove with you on the fields of Tu in many lands beyond the Seas. Your presence there endeared you

to the hearts of our warriors. Your brief sojourn here will soften the sorrows of those whose dear ones have followed the setting Sun.

Royal Son of our Illustrious Line, King that is to be, we are proud that you should carry on the traditions of your Race and House. For it is meet that those who sit on high should turn an equal face to humble as to mighty. Walk therefore among your peoples, sure of their hearts, fostering the love they bore Queen Victoria and those who came after.

Welcome and Farewell ! Return in peace, without misgiving, bearing to His Majesty the King, and to Her Majesty the Queen, the renewal of the Oath we swore to them on this Ground a generation ago, an oath rooted in the Treaty of Waitangi, hallowed by time and manifold trials. The Maori people will be true till death, and so, Farewell !

Ko te whakamaoritanga tenei:

Ki a Eruera, Piiriniha o Weeri.

E KORO ma i te Po e! Whakarongo ! Maranga i ta koutou moe roa! Whakatika! Tu ake ki te powhiri! Irara! te Tuarangi, te Matamua o te Kawai, kei te whakatata mai. Ko te Tama tenei a te Kingi, ka takahi mai nei ano i to koutou marae tapu.

E Tama! E te Ariki! Haere mai! E te Whatukura! hoki mai ano, whaia mai nga tapuwae o to Matua. Haere mai kia matou ki te iti rawa o nga iwi e tau nei i raro i tona mana. He iti, otiia e nui ana i to matou piripono. Koia ka karanga atu nei.

Whakawhiti mai i te moana tapokopoko a Tawhaki ki nga Moutere nei. Haere mai ki Aotearoa! Haere mai ki Te Waipounamu! Kei te koa o matou ngakau.

Haere mai i te ra nei, kua toa nei hoki, kua whiwhi nei hoki! Kua mau ano te taura whiri nana tatou i here ki te tikanga kotahi.

I haere mai to Matua kia matou i muri i tera pakanga, nana i ahiti ki tona Karauna Kingi, te Taimana o Awherika. Na, ko koe tenei, ko te Piriniha toa. Nau i whakatinana te kaha i whati ai te ringa totoro, i hinga ai te Kohuru. Nau ra i ora ai te Ao, i whiti ai te ra ki te iti, ki te rahi, kia tupu tahi ai nga iwi, kaore he wehi.

Haere mai e Tama! Kawea mai te ahuatanga o a matou tamariki e tangihia nei. Kua ora mai ra ratou, i ngana tahi na me koe i nga marae tini o Tu i tawahi, ko wai e hua kei hea. Nou i tae tahi ki reira ka awhitia koe e o ratou ngakau. Ka tae mai nei koe, ka mahea te pouri o te hunga kua wehe atu ra a ratou i kaingakau ai.

E te Uri Rangatira o te Kawai Tapu, a muri ake nei Kingi ai, e koa ana matou ki a koe e whakatutuki nei i nga tikanga o tou tatai. E tika ana hoki kia pera koutou e noho mai na i nga wahi teitei, kia rite te huri o te kanohi ki te iti, ki te rahi. Na reira, haere mai ki waenganui i o iwi. Kaua e hopohopo, e whakahohonutia nei e koe ki roto ki o ratou ngakau to ratou aroha ki a Kuini Wikitoria me ona uri.

Haere mai ra, a haere ake! Hoki atu i runga i te rangimarie ki o matua, ki to matou Kingi, ki to matou Kuini. E kore e taka ke te kupu i hoatu ki a raua i te marae nei ano. He ohaki, i takea mai i te Tiriti o Waitangi, he kupu tapu no nga whakatupuranga, i honea i nga whainga maha. Ka mau to te iwi Maori, a mate noa. Na reira, Haere!

KO KE WHAKAUTU A TE PIRINIHA.

Ka tae atu ra te mihi a te Iwi Maori ki a ia, ka tu mai te Piriniha, a ka whakautu. Na, i tuhia ano hoki tana ki te reo pakeha. Koia tenei:

Chiefs and People of Aotearoa!

Your welcome fills me with gladness and with pride - gladness that, following the path of my father, the King, I am come to see you in your own beautiful land, whose loveliness no other land excels; and pride, that you should greet me thus with loyal and contented hearts in the ancient Maori form.

A mighty war has shaken the world since my Father came to this place, but the Maori people have held true to the oath which they swore to him upon the day when he stood here. Your warriors went forth to fight and conquer his enemies in many distant lands. I saw and spoke with them often on the hard fields of Tu. They fought and endured most gallantly, as Maori warriors ever do; and many gave up life or health for the sake of us who remain. Their bravery and sacrifice were seen by the King, who has bade me praise the Maori people for their faithfulness and valour, even unto death.

Chiefs and People, it is Queen Victoria's great - grandson who speaks to you to - day. Under her just government, to which your fathers swore fealty at Waitangi eighty years ago, the Maori people, secure in their lands, found true contentment and peace. Under her wise guidance Maori and Pakeha grew ever closer together in understanding and goodwill. The welfare and happiness to which Queen Victoria first led you have been assured to you in like measure by King Edward and King George. I rejoice to hear that your children make good progress in the Schools which the King's Government provides for you; for thus only can the

youth of Aotearoa, Maori and Pakeha alike, grow up worthy of this free land and of the mighty Empire to which they belong. For my part, I will ever keep before me the pattern of Victoria, the Great Queen, whose heart was with the Maori people from the day they swore allegiance to her rule.

Chiefs and People, I greet you from my heart, and so Farewell.

(Sgd.) EDWARD, P.

Ko te whakamaoritanga tenei:

E nga Rangatira me te Iwi o Aotearoa !

KA nui toku koa mo ta koutou powhiri. E koa ana au, moku i takahi mai i runga i nga tapuwae o toku matua, o te Kingi, ka kite a - tinana ia koutou i to koutou whenua tupu, i to koutou whenua ataahua, kaore nei he whenua pai i tua ake. Kei te whakamanamana hoki au, mo te rangi o a koutou mihi, mo te piripono, mo te ngakau tatu, i tukua mai i runga i a koutou tikanga Maori tuturu.

No muri mai i te ra o taku Matua ka ngarue te ao i tetahi pakanga nui whakaharahara, otiia i tino mau te Iwi Maori ki ta ratou kupu i whakaoati ai ki a ia i tona ra i tu ai i te marae nei. I haere a koutou tamariki toa ki te pakanga, ki te raupatu i nga hoa riri o te Kingi i nga topito o te ao. I kite au ia ratou, a i korero tahi matou i nga marae papamaro o Tu. I kakari ratou, i tohe ratou i ta te toa i tana tohe, pera i o ratou tupuna onamata iho; a he tokomaha o ratou i mate kai-a-kiri, i mate rawa atu mo tatou, mo nga morehu. I kite te Kingi i to ratou toa, nana au i whakahau mai kia mihi ki te Iwi Maori mo to ratou toa, ahakoa tutuki noa ki te mate.

E nga rangatira, e te Iwi, ko ahau ko te mokopuna tuarua a Kuini Wikitoria tenei e korero atu nei. Na nga ture i tukuna mai e ia, i na runga mai i te kupu oati a o koutou tupuna i hoatu ai i Waitangi, ka waru-tekau tau te pahuretanga atu, i tau ai te rangimarie ki te Iwi Maori, i mau ai kia ratou o ratou take whenua, i tatu ai o ratou ngakau. Nana i atawhai i tupu tahi ai te Maori raua ko te Pakeha, i whakatata ai tetahi ki tetahi i runga i te whakaaro pai, i te whakaaro kotahi. Ko tera pai, ko tera ora i matua horahia mai ra e Kuini Wikitoria i whakapumautia ki nga uri e tana tama e Kingi Eruera, e tana mokopuna e Kingi Hori. E koa ana au i toku rongonga kei te piki te matauranga o a koutou tamariki e whakaakona nei ki nga kura i hangaia e te Kawanatanga a te Kingi mo ratou. Ma tena anake hoki nga taitamariki o Aotearoa, Maori, Pakeha hoki e tupu ai hei tangata tika, e tau ai hei rangatira mo nga

Moutere nei, mo to tatou Emepaea hoki. Na moku, ka mau au ki te tauira a Wikitoria, te Kuini Nui, i awhi tonu nei tona aroha i te Iwi Maori mai ano o te ra i whakaae ai ratou ki tona mana.

E nga Rangatira, e te Iwi, tena koutou, a Hei konei!

Kei te koa tatou mo nga mea i hoki ora mai me te hiahia kia waiho ko te matauranga i riro mai i a ratou hei hapai i nga tikanga e ora ai o ratou iwi.

3. NGA MANGAI REIMANA. - I tera Hui i tu ki te Waimate i tenei Hui hoki he torutoru rawa nga Mangai Reimana i tae mai. He kupu atu taku ki nga takiwa katoa kia kaha ratou ki te tuku mai i o ratou Reimana. Ki te tae mai ko nga Minita anake e kore rawa e oti tika nga mahi a nga Hui.

4. WIKITORIA KURA. - I enei tau e toru kua pahure ake nei i mea matou tera pea to tatou Kura Kotiro e whakakapia i te nui o te utu mo nga mea katoa, na reira i tukua atu ai e nga kai-whakahaere o te Kura tetahi tono ki te taha Pakeha me te taha Maori kia awhinatia mai taua Kura.

E hari ana au i te mea kua whakarongo mai te iwi Pakeha, Maori me te Kawanatanga hoki ki ta matou karanga, a, kahore te Kura e whakakapia.
