Converted Gamblers =. General
Town Talk.
Last evening Rev. DR.. Carroll preached
on The Parable of the Street During the
Past Week." the conveying of the gospel to
the masses referring to the labors of Mason
Long, the converted gambler. who. with
his coadj tutors, male quartette, and from
his locomotive pulpit attracted crowds such
as never gathered in this city in answer to
a call for the reformation of meE. All
classes of our citizens responded the high
est and the lowest, the best and the worst,
church-goers and those who never enter a
church, and much good among the masses
was done. The wonderful tact of the
speaker was recognized at once, and he held
the crowds Spell-bound during the six street
meetings by his manifest sincerity and the
singleness of his purpose to do good and
save the multitude who, like himself once,
are tyranniZed by bad habits, the victims OF
vice, and labored especially to free them
from the awful domination of the wide
spread and destructive vice of gambling and
its concomitant, intemperance. His deter
mination to reach this class caused him to
originate this method of bringing help to
them-going down among them-and by it
gave one solution, and very unique one,
to that veXed and ever-present problem, how
to reach the masses. DR.. Carroll, in his
lecture last night upon the man and his
methods, emphasized these pOints-his
tact, his sincerity, his genuine sympathy,
his master purpose to save those from the
thraldOm that enSlaved and cursed his life,
and closed his discourse with a stirring ap-
peal to the young, and the young men eS-
L - L o+oI f-1
and awful perils of gambling, showing its
tendency, its sorcery, its sin and shame.
The doctors next lecture will be cOntinu-
alton of the subject of gambling. The
course will be under the auspices of the
Young Peoples society, and will be intensely
interesting.
