Des Onkel's Brief.

Liebe Kinder!-I In Detroit, Mich,
ereignete SIGH vor Ginger Zeit Elm
s~chreckliches Ungliick. Der achtjah-
katholischen st. Joseph's-S Schulz, war
trotz der wiederholten Warnungen sci
ner Eltern und Schulschwestern auf-
einen fahrenden Wagon geklettert und
che er sich dessen versah, verlor er
Halt und fiel zwischen die Rider. Elm
Rad musste entfernt werden, UNI den
Unvorsichtigen aus seiner schlimmen
Lage zu befreien. Nun liegt err i'm Ho-
spital in sehr bedenklichem Zustande
darnieder, da er SIGH den Bruch sammt-
licher Rippen und noch andere schwere
fnnere V~erletzungen zugezogen hat. Els
ist m0glich, dass er NIT dem Leben
davonkommen wird, aber err wird
~jedenfalls fir sein games Leben Elm
Kriippel bleiben.
list das NIGHT schrecklich, liebe Kin
der. GeStern noch Elm munterer,
lebensfroher Knabe und heute durch
seine eigene Unvorsichtigkeit yum
Krippel geworden! Me mehr wird er
NIT semen Kameraden herumspringen
k0nnen, ME mehr an ihren Spielen
t~heilnehmen. Und Spater, wenn desc
zu gesunden, kraftigen Mannern heran-
gewachsen sind, wird er vielleicht sci
ner Familie oder der Oeffentlichkeit
u Last fallen. Sein games Leben list
vernichtet und semen unglticklichen
Eltern hat err allie Hoffnungen geraubt-
Und warum? Wegen seines Ungeh0r.
sans und seiner Leiehtfertigkeit.
Els gibt manche Kinder, die denken
werden: "Ach, ich klettere doch auch
INNER auf fahrende Wagon, aber ich
bin v~orsichtig und es list mir noch
NIGHTS geschehen." Das list NIGHT recht,
liebe Kinder. SO auch dachte der un-
gliickliche Joseph Mosier. Auch linn
war bis jetzt NIGHTS geschehen. Auch
er dachte, er sci ~geschickt und vorsich-
tig------und auf Elm Nal wal das I'm
CLICK da. Err wird SEMEN Leichtsinn
zu spat eingesehen haben. Aber fir
Euch, liebe Kinder, list es noch Zeit.
Last Euch sein Schicksal ais alb
schreckendes Beispiel dienen. Seid
gehorsam und folgt den klugen Wei
sungen Eurer Eltern und V~orgesetzten
"damit Ihr lange lebet auf Erden."
