Un Mensaje A La Conciencia
INCENDIO, LOCURA Y MUERTE
Era el Pabellón de los Crónicos, y alojaba 1271 internados. Era el Hospital Psiquiátrico de Manila, el mayor de las Islas Pilipinas. Era 14 de diciembre de 1977. O mas bien, la noche de ese dia. En esa ocasión y en esas circumstan-cias, se desarrollo una de las mas penosas tragedias.
Un corto circuito dio origen a un fuego en el Pabellón de los Crónicos. Todos los alojados alli, eran locos violentos, incurables, peligrosos. Pronto las llamas envolvieron todo el pabellón, v comenzaron, valga la expresión, escenas de locura. Los carros de bomberos, con sus sirenas aullantes y sus luces de alarma, acudieron por docenas; los oficiales daban ordenes a gritos: los chorros de agua cayendo sobre el infierno levantaban nubes de vapor y de humo; muchos de los pacientes reían a carcajadas; otros gritaban con alaridos lacerantes.
Pero 32 locos quedaron quietos, impasibles ante el avance de las llamas. “Parecían tener miedo del mundo exterior—dijo Jaime Castaneda jefe de bomberos de Manila—se negaron a salir, y rechazaron toda ayuda”. Estos treinta y dos pacientes, murieron abrazados, siendo las únicas victimas del siniestro.
Amigo, cuanto hay para reflexionar aqui...Una de las cosas mas pavorosas que pueden ocurrir es precisamente un incendio. Una de las dolencias mas terribles que aquejan al ser humano, es la locura.
AVISO DE ELECCION....
Y yo me pregunto amigo,...Esta tragedia no es una representación dei mismo estado general en que se encuentran el mundo y la humanidad? Locura, miedo, espanto, incendio y muerte. Asi han de ver los angeles del juicio, que ya están listos, a esta pobre tierra y a esta poore taza envueltos en una vorágine de pecado.
Pero hay esperanza! Hat un Juicio por delante, es cierto! Pero hay esperanza. Cristo es la Esperanza. Cristo ya vertió su Sangre redentora. Cristo ya pago el precio en el CAlvario. Cristo ya mando predicar la buena noticia a todo el mundo. Y Cristo ya ascendió a los cielos y desde alli intercede por todos los pecadores arrepentidos. Hay una via de escape para el incendio de este mundo, amigo: este es JESUCRISTO, el que con todo drecho dijo: “Yo soy el camino, la Verdad y la Vida”.

Another practice is to keep weeds and grass cut short. Rats and mice on the premises should be controlled since they provide a good source for snakes.
All cracks, holes and openings of every type around the structures should be sealed with lumber, screen wire or other suitable materials. Snakes can

“Although it is often assumed that the sales tax is collected chiefly from the millions of consumer purchases that occur in retail stores throughout Texas, this is not the case,” Bullock said.
He said approximately 60 percent of all tax dollars are received from purchases made by businesses.
Bullock’s remarks were included in “Fiscal Notes,” a
