A Communication.

A case which should be classed as
criminal, has come under the notice of a
portion of Owosso townspeople. One of the
newspapers states IF the charges are true,
no punishment can be too severe for the
offender" and there is no doubt as to the
truth of the matter, as the evidence of Sc
many children will prove. The hiding OF
disappearance of the man is another evidence
of guilt, yet in this age of moral and
spiritual advancement, the only charge
which will probably be brought against the
party is assault and battery(?) except in one
case which legal advice claims may be class
ed as criminal from testimony given by a
child of seven and a girl of fourteen. Should
the case be dropped, the monster will be
turned loose upon hundred other defense
less children to work his ruinous pleasure.
AS surely responsible before God, and
should be legally, is the one who admins
tiers mind poison, as he who poisons the
body. Equivalent to murder is the ruin of
character, and the installation of such base
knowledge into child's mind is the surest
foundation for such ruin.
A little girl cannot always be under the
tuition of her mother, in case the mothers
means and education are not sufficient; in
consequence of which the child Is at liberty
to enlarge upon the secrets divulgcd to her,
and impart the influence of her moral injury
to many others. Thus the damage becomes
so wide spread the extent can hardly be
imagined or estimated.
Not only indecent exposure of the person
has gratiied the passion of this beast, but,
according to testimonies, he has many times
laid lustful hands upon children seven,
eight and nine years or age. Every true
father and mother who has heard of it is
highly incensed, and lack of means to en-
plOy able legal authority, is all that now
prevents the case being pushed to prosecu-
ton.
Christ says "Suffer the children" and
Vengeance is mine. will repay, saith the
Lord" Will he not avenge his innocent
ones? Verify. A MOTHER.
