The Rev. Henry Cunningham, pas
tor of Eastlake Presbyterian
Church, preached yesterday on the
Wiggiiu; case. His topic wan Sad
and Fatal End." nnd his text was. "Is
the Young Man Safe?" II Samuel,
18-29.
''The theme was suggested by the
sail tragedy which took plac- tn our
city reeenlly. 1 shall not relate, all
tho exciting details of the ease. It
should startle us when we recall that
a young man could
of crime, become so desperate an
outlaw and such a menace to soci
ety all before he was 21 years old.
There was another young raa... years
ago. who got in the way of evil and
became an outlaw. He also came to
a sad and untimely end.
"Absalom had his ompanlcns. who
joined and helped him in ht: rebel
lion. Wiggins also had his compan
ions who helplod to mould his evil
character and send him forth to he a
desperado. He did not become a
thief and an outlaw at once. He
grew up to it. One of the greatest
problems oday is the boy problem.
Boys congregate in gangs. Many of
these gangs are bad. Parents must
ad such a life
see to it what kind of a gang their
boy belongs to. and what Ideas and
influences he Is absorbing, or they,
too, may come to shed tears of sor
row.
"These gangs of boys must be
reached and turned ;» the paths of
right and their chaiacters moulded
for good, or later generations will
ha e another Wiggins to deal with."
Mr, Cunningham said that parents
of children made a great mistake in
allowing their child"en to run the
streets at late hours.
