not be a positive cure for the disease, is un-

Is Gambling q Sin?

N. o. Times-D Democrat, March "a, 1891.
In the great Episcopal C~onvocati0n of
Canterbury, in which were recently assembled
the Lord Bishops and all of the other mag
mates of the English Church, the question of
= Betting and Gambling" was exhaustively
discussed. The sentiment of that great body
was expressed by the Lord Bishop of London,
who declared that he did not consider'there
was anything sinful in a small wager, or in
the playing OF any game for small SIMS of
money.
Commenting on the foregoing expression of
the Lord Bishop of London the Church Times,
the leader of Episcopal thought in England,
says:
If his lordship is right, then betting and
gambling are not sinful in themselves, but
only in their abuse, The practice stands upon
precisely the same moral level as drinking TO
excess, or inordinate indulgence OF any other
naturally harmless pleasure. There is III
doubt that moralists have always found a diff
ficulty in bringing them under the operation
Of any recognized principle indeed, it is i'm
possible to condemn betting and gambling
per Sc, except on the far-reaching assumption
that a man has no right to take and profit by
money which he has not earned. There has
been a good deal Of confused talking about
this matter, and the remarks of their lord
ships will help to clear the, way and make
| plain tho moral basis of the question in de-
bate.
The Catholic Champion, published in New
York, and one of the most prominent organs
of the Episcopal Church in America, quotes
the foregoing extracts from the speech of the
lord bishop of London and from the editorial
Of the Church Times, and delivers its judg-
ment in the following terse and explicit para
graph:
We are of opinion that the view of the bish-
OPP of London is the true one. The sin in bet
ting and gambling is exactly akin to that in
drunkenness, excess in that which is lawful
in the one case in drinking wine, aud in the
other case in taking chances.
That the doctrine az stated by the lord
bishop of London is the correct doctrine that
the sin of any form of betting lies, not in the
betting itself, but in the excess to which it
may be carried, is too obviously true to admit
of serious debate.
And surely none will be prompter to con-
cede this than those distinguished members
of the Antf-Circle, who nightly adorn the
parlors of their social clubs, and who, in
small games of draw and setback, hive the
loose cash of their bosom friends.
