Querido hermano: Acabo de leer en-
Ell MUNDo su articulo ''El Mayor C1-
nismo' por Ell que le felicito.
Y no dudo, hermano mio, que como
usted dice, esos pobres seres, obseca-
dos de por 81 y fuera de su juicio al
cometer tan horrendo crimen, hayan
acabado de volverse locos ante La no.
rrenda perspective de la muerte. Por-
que solamente de esa manera, hahien-
do perdido todo vestigiO de sentido
comdn, puede atreverse nadie decir
que es Espiritista, despues de cometer
un acto tan feroz como Ell que va es
piblico y notorio que esos dos pobres
ciegos del alma Sc han declarado con-
victos y confesos. iPobres seresl
Y lqui6n sabe! 81 esa declaration del
que dice que es Espiritista pudo ha-
ber sido instigado por algun enemigo
del Espiritismo, para desprestigiar esta
saba y sublime doctrina.
Pero iAhI 81 Ell de ese delito es. de
los enfermos que necesitan el Med1co,
que dice Ell Evangelio, el otro, sea
Ell queu con SUI extratagena trata de
poner cortapisas un ideal sublime v
regenerador, es de los ''ciegos guias
de ciegos" que dice tambi6n Ell Evan
CELLO.
Pero iAh! tambi6n 81 ell asesinato es
un crimen, un crimen es tambi6n Ell
tratar de mancillar una doctrina que
por ser La misma que predico Cristo,
solo veneraci6n y respeto Sc merece.
Pero en- vano los enemigos del Esp1-
ritismo, que por 10 tanto 10 son del
Evangelio, emplearan cuantos amafios
quieran para desprestigiar la doctr1na
que no lograran sus deseos. Porque La
doctrina es intachable, limpidas sin ma
eala ninguna.
De one haya falsos espiritistas que
la sombra de esta doctrina traten de
vivir a costa de los incautos, este no
f-
hay que dudarlo; pero de este que
la doctrina tenga esa mancha que
una vez la conozcan fondo Sc sientan
sus fieles adeptos impulsados come
ter asesinatos, y nj siquiera acci6n min
guna que impugne la raz6n v al
buen sentido, media una gran distan-
cia.
Ell dfa que todos los moradores de Ia
TERRA conozcan esta doctrina, va no Sc
cometeran asesinatos nj suici6s os, nj dis
cordias, nj habra antagonismos. Enton-
ces reinara la paz y la fraternidad en-
tire todos los congeneres.
81, huinanos todos, tratad de conocer
esta doctrina, pero en- SUI valor intrin-
seco, y ver6is la sublimidad que encie-
rra; os convencer6is tambi6n que sus
verdades fundamentals asi como las
maximas y preceptos que la integran y
todas sus puras ensenanzas, son las
mismas de La doctrina de Jesus. Hay
pues, que estudiarla para conocerla.

the bunny just imagined it, OF
whether the sun grew warmer and
hotter and stopped his pain, doesn t
really matter much. At any rate
Uncle Wiggily's rheumatism was
much better, so that he hoped
along, singing a song and twink
ling his pink nose.
81 shall go look for an adven-

he hoped and he hoped some
more, but no adventure could he
find. Then, feeling tired and slee-
py, and with his rheumatism pain
hardly hurting him at all, Uncle
Wiggily stretched out on green,
messy log and went fast asleep.
While the bunny slept, along
hoped Johnnie Bushytail, the
squirrel boy. He saw Uncle Wig
gily asleep, and the brown horse
chestnuts in the bunny's pocket.

those nuts for me- whispered
Johnnie to himself. ON take

want something in his pocket, so

Taking the horse chestnuts from
the bunny's pocket, Johnnie put
some hard, round brown stones in
their place and scampered away.
Soon Uncle Wiggily awakened, and,
as he did so, up sprang the Bob
Cat from behind mulberry bush.
"Gurrl Gurrl" growled the Bob
Cat, twirling his whiskers.
"Wait a minute!'' begged the
bunny. '..Before you nibblc my
ears, wouldn't you like some horse

"Maybe I might snarled the
Bob Cat, -commital like.
"Here you are u have some
them,' invited the bunny. He put
his hand in his pocket and pulled
out what he thought were horse
chestnuts but, Unsteady, they were
stones. He gave them to the Bob
Cat, and the bad chap, also think
ing they were soft nuts, put them
in his mouth and chewed on them.
But, all of sudden, he knew
they weren' t nuts, but stones. He
broke off some of his teeth on the
hard stones, the Bob Cat did. And
he hurt his tongue. And, then,
with howl he ran away to see the
dentist.
Hal Hail. laughed the rabbit,
when Johnnie told him what he
had done. cit was Il good joke on
the Bob Cat, and my rheumatism
