satisfactory answer TO anything
asked him II gricves me to tell YOU
these things for know your mother
heart has blcd many times because
OF his waywardncss and am pray

tell you what began to relate. Last
night at gambling hell the game
was exciting and rumor says your
of our leading citizens being in the
game took motion of your son for
an attempt to draw a pistol, shot him

not already a faithful follower of the

tify all the statements in either let
ter, in fact they are both lies or at
least the author of the last one
could have learned that he was mis-
tating the facts by little honest in
quiry. Evidently he was one of those
individuals who only hunt for the
worst feature OF a case and would

that her unfortunate son died the
death of nero and fully provided
for her old age and may the author
of the other letter yet be rejuvenated
to that extent that he may learn the
Ionly true follower of the NaZarene
is one who binds bleeding hearts and
scatters seeds of kindness in this
desert world.
