CONCERNING BAPTISM. 251 
Who can bear the pain of the fire which burns for 
ever ? I want to make haste to Jesus Christ, that I may 
be saved from it. As the wind digs up the waves of the 
sea, so the devil digs up sin in my heart : he is always, 
always, this day and that day, at work there. If I wake 
in the middle of the night, he wakes also, to contend 
with me, and to hold fast my soul, that I may not fly to 
the Saviour ; or to stop my mouth, that I may not pray 
to Him. 
This is all my Letter to you. Mr. Yate, I love you, 
even I. Wahanga. 
LETTER II. 
FROM PAHUIA, WIFE OF WAHANGA. 
Mr. Yate — It is true, it is very true, that it is good 
to tell to Jehovah all that is in our heart, whether it is 
good, or whether it is evil. My desire is, that my soul 
may be saved in the Day of Judgment. It will not be 
long before Jesus Christ appears to judge mankind; and 
I also shall be judged. It is right that I should be judged, 
and that I should be condemned ; for my heart is very 
wicked, and will not do one good thing — not one, not 
one, not one, that Jesus Christ, and God, and the Holy 
Spirit say is good : if I am angered by them, it will be 
just. But will not the Son of God save me ? You say 
He will ; and I believe it. You say that, bad as it is. 
He will wash my soul in His blood, and make it good 
and clean. That is what I want. I want to be admitted 
into His Church, and to be made His Child, and to be 
taught His lessons out of His Book ; and to be taken care 
of by Him, and to be done what with, done what with, 
done what with — Thou, O Lord Jesus, say what ! 
Mr. Yate, listen : this is all from me, from 
Pahcia.
