The following letter was once
written by father to son of dis
sipated habits:
MY Dear Son: What would you
think of yourself if you should come
to our bedside every night, and waking
MS, tell us YOU would not allow US to
sleep any more. That is what you are
doing, and that is why l am up.
Your mother is nearly worn out in
turning from side to side because YOU
won't let her sleep-that mother who
nursed you in your infancy, toiled for
YOU IN your childhood, and looked
with pride and JOY upon you rs YOU
were growing up to manhood, as She
counted ON the comfort and support
you would give her in her declining
years.
We read of most barbarous man
ner IN which one of the Oriental
nations Furnishes some of lis criminals
1t is by cutting the flesh from the body
in ga" pieces slowly cutting the
limbs, beginning with the fingers and
toes, one joint at time-until the
wretched victim dies. That is Just
what you are doing killing Your
mother by inches. You have planted
many Of the white hairs that are
appearing so thick in her head before
their time. Your cruel hand is draw
ing the lines OF sorrow on her dear
face, making her look prematurely old.
You might as well stick your knife in
her body every time you come near
her; for your conduct Is stabbing her
the heart You might as well bring
acr coffin, and force her into it, for
you are pressing her toward il with
very rapid steps.
Would YOU tread on her body if pros
rated Oh the floor? And get with I'M
grateful f1ot you are treading on her
heart and crushing out life and iOy-no,
| need not say JOY, for that is a word
we have long ceased to see. because
you have taken it from us. OF course,
we have 20 meet our friends with smiles,
but they little know the bitterness with
in. You have taken the roses out of
your sisters pathway, and scattered
thOrns instead, and from the pain they
inIlict scalding tears are often seen
coursing down her cheeks. Thus You
are Dl'5htlHs HcI me a5 Wei ~ ours.
And what can you promise yourself
for the FUTURE Look at the miserable,
bloated, ragged wrctchcs whom YOU
meet every day, and sec in them the eX-
act picture Of what you are coming to,
and will be in a few years. Then. in
the end, drunkard' grave and
drunkard's doom, for the Bible says.
No drunkard shall inherit the King
dom, Where. then, viii you be? If
not in the Kingdom Of God You must
he somewhere else.
Viii not these considerations induce
you TO quit at once and for all the time?
And may God help You, for He can and
will if you earnestly ask it,
Your ai'cctionate but sorrow-strickcn
