E ONO NGA TIKANGA NUI.

E TE kai-korero! Tera e ono nga tik-

anga nui whakaharahara e hiahia ana

ahau ki te whakaatu ki a koe; a kia ata

whakarongo mai koe ki ahau.

Te Tuatahi. Kei raro i te whakahe nga

tangata katoa.

A horapa atu ana te mate ki nga tangata

katoa, no te mea kua hara katoa—Roma 5,

12. Ehara tenei i te tikanga pai ki to te

tangata whakaaro. Kahore. E pai ana

Hei reira e wareware ana tatou ki tenei, ara

he whanaunga tatou o te hunga mate: e noho

ana hoki tatou ki roto i te hunga e tatari

hinga pai o reira, anana! na te hunga mate

tion.

Death has passed upon all men, for all

have sinned—Rom. v. 12. Judgment has

come upon all men to condemnation—Rom.

v. 18. This is not by any means a pleasant

truth. We like to talk about progress, and

to indulge in dreams of future prosperity,

and are too prone to forget that we are, by

birth, members of a ruined family, and in-

habitants of a world that is hurrying on to

judgment. The sentence of condemnation

has been passed upon us. We are a lost

race! Think of the lofty mansions which

grace our cities, and adorn our land; they

are the dwellings of a condemned people!

Think of the picturesque villages and lovely

rural homes on which the eye gazes with

such pleasure; they are the abodes of a
