Dear Worker: About three months
Hgo three promising boys of our city be.
came involved In q dinlenllv about II
O'Clock at night, resulting In the serious
injury ot o man who had recently, come
into our midst. These boys fed the city
that night, and have not returned vet,
One of them Is now OF college in another
State, kept there by his father, who has
been almost broken,heafted by the con-
duct OF this son, in whom 80 many hopes
was centered. One year ago this good
man was sorely bereaved by the death Of
9 noble Christian wife. Soon after her
death the father rented o store room and
started his son in business, but alas like
60 many other boys in our land he ig-
nored the advice Of kind and indnlgent
parent, and associated himself with bad
company that led him frat into the pool
room, then into the dram ahop, which
caused him to neglect his business, and
finally to commit an ofense against the
law, that makes him an exile from his
State, and worst of all, cuts him of from
those home influences that should be 30
dear to every boys heart. This unhappy
young man has recently written letter
to o younger brother, warning him
against bad company, and the danger Of
strong drink. IA
This doubly bereayed father has con.
sented to the publication of this letter
only with the hope that 1t may be the
means Of nrreeting other young men who
have started In the downward road that
inevitably leads to shame, aud disgrace.
God grant that It may be warning TO
such, and cause them to forsake The
haunts of vice, anu turn them into paths
of righteousness. n
Here Is the young mans earnest appeal
to his younger brother: : lt!5. IS Z:
