The JOURNAL regrets its inability to

the tramp of my own heart as pause be-
tween these utterances. The King does
not land because the world is not ready,
and the church is not ready. To clear the
way for the Lords coming let us devote
all our energies of body. mind and soul.
A Russian general riding over the battle
field, his horse treading among the dying
and dead, a wounded soldier asked him
for water, but the officer did not under
stand the language and knew not what
the poor fellow wanted. Then the soldier
cried out. "Christos,' and that word
meant sympathy and help, and the Rus
sian officer dismounted and put to the lips
of the sufferer cooling draught. Be that
the charmed word with which we go forth
to do our whole duty. In many languages
it has only little difference of termina-
ton. Christos 1t stands tor sympathy.
1t stands for help. 1t stands for pardon.
1t stands for hope. 1t stands for heaven.
Christosl In that name we were baptized.
In that name we took our first sacrament.
That will be the battle-shout that will win
the whole world for God. Christos! Put
it on our banners when we march! Put
it on our lips when we die Put it in the
funeral psalm at our obsequies! Put it on
the plain slab over our grave Christos !!
Blessed be His glorious name forever !!

LITTLE GAME OF BACCARAT.
DESCRIPTION OF WALES DIVERSION,
How the Game Is Pinyed-snmpies OF the
Lay-Out-How Sir william Gordon
Cumming Lost HIS
Honor.

During the past week the reading por-
ton of the civilized world has been re-
called with a detailed report of the pro-
ceedings OF the sensational action against
several of England's nobility, Sir Edward
Gordon Cumming having taken this re-
course in order to, if possible, clear his
name of the scandal consequent upon his
alleged cheating at cards while at play
with the prince of Wales and other peers.
The betting scheme at which those Of
royal blood engaged was bsccarat. This
game is little known to Americans and a
description of the points of play is oppor-
tune as well as interesting.
Baccarat is game of pure chance, and
bears some resemblance to vingt-et-un or
twenty-one, but is much more rapid. The
banker or the players win or lose as they
approximate a point, which is nine.
To play bacarrat large oval table is
used. Generally directly in front OF the
dealer or banker a line is drawn across the
table dividing it into two equal portions.
Sometimes from radial point before the
banker lines are drawn to the edge of the
table.
Any number of persons can play. They
take places to the right or left of the line,
the banker being in the middle. All who
are on his right make their bets on two
cards, all those on his left on two other
cards. These two cards to the right and
left PLAYERS and to the banker may be
supplemented by a third card to each, as
will be presently explained. Differing
from vingt-et-un, only one new card can
be taken.
In France baccarat is played with one
States with three full packs. Whether
one or three packs are used the chances in
the game remain just the same. The only
advantage of using three packs is that less
time is lost in shutting.
DEALING.
The cards are shuffled and cut by as
many of the players as may wish. The
dealer may. at option, say: Il will throw
off three or four or six cards before open
ing the DEAL" and can place these upward
on the table. These are dead cards and
do not affect the game in any way.
When the dealer begins he gives first
one card to his lett to the player A, then
one card to the player @, both being the
elder hands, then third card to himself.
He gives second card to A, a second to @
and third to himself. There are only
six cards given in this preliminary stage
of the game.
Before any cards have been given bets
are made. All the players off the left
make their bets on the cards to be given
to A, as do the players on the right, who
make their bets on the cards Q is to re-
ceive.
After this the first round, il is B on the
left and P on the right who get the next
two cards; at the second round, G and o.
and 80 on. until finally the most distant
players from the dealer, and j, get their
two cards. Then the dealer, who is the
banker, begins with A and Q again. next to
B and p, as before explained.
A BACCARAT TABLE.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1891-06-24
y e J

The first two are the cards given. The
total is four. Another card is asked for,
and six-any six-say the six OF hearts,
is received. This counts as six; an ace Is
one, trey is three and six is six-one
and three and six make ten. Ten has no
value and the player has zero, or nothing.
This point of ten is called baccarat.
Take the case where the addition of a
card may make the winning point, an ace
and three is four. If five be received.
then plus plus equals 8, and nine is the
winning point of baccarat.
A player may receive two tens as the
first two cards, and get, If he asks for it, a
third card which Is ten, and be will
have thirty, or three tens, which counts
for nothing. He may, however, get a
nine, or twenty-nine in all-then. the
tens counting nothing, he has the best
point in the game, which is nine.
The leading hands are any combina-
tons in which two cards MAKE nine. Thus
a five and four are natural niue, as are
one and eight, or two and seven, or three
and six, or ten or q picture card and q
nine. Two mines being eighteen. deduct
ing the ten is a good point, being eight.
This being understood, we will suppose
that the game has been opened The
left hand players have made their bets
before taking any cards, and the right
hand players having done the same thing,
the bank accepting the cards, cards are
dealt. as before explained one at a time

THE SCHOOL MA'AM WAS GRIT.

She Wanted That Boy In the Tree and She
Got Him.
/ was driving along highway in Wood
county, Ohio, with a man who was sell
ing farming machines TO farmers, and
about o'clock in the afternoon we came
along to a district schoolhouse, says a
writer in an exchange. The school mas
and about twenty scholars stood under an
elm tree about forty feet high, near the
house, and in the topmost branches of
the tree was q boy about fourteen years
old.
Anything wrong here?" asked my
friend, as we halted before the door.
"Budd Hawkins says he won't and the
teacher says he must" cried little girl.
The teacher herself then came forward.
She was a plain-looking girl of about
twenty, with mouth showing great firm
ness, and with some embarrassment she
explained:
tits the terror of the school. He re-
fused to mind, and l started to whip him.
He broke away and ran out and climbed
the tree. I've been up about twenty feet,
but had to give it up and come down"
eyer can't conquer me" shouted the
boy.
"Budd, order you to come down."
II WON'T!
81 have sent for an ak and here it
comes" she said as she turned TO US.
Hell come down with the tree, if not
before"
We offered to use the ak, but she de-
clined the offer with thanks. and stepping
to the tree she swung the implement
around and buried the blade in the wood.
"You dasn'tp shouted Budd from the
top.
"I'll do it or resign" she answered, as
she struck several blows.
At the end of three minutes the tree be-
gan to totter and Budd to yell in alarm,
and few seconds later it fell with crash.
thought the boy was badly hurt, if not
killed, and was relieved as the school
ma'am sprang forward, yanked him out
of the branches and while applying CAD
with one hand she pulled him into the
schoolhouse with the other, saying:
"Now, Budd Hawkins, you've got to do
some of the awfulest begging ever heard
of in the state of Ohio or l won't leave
enough hide on you for the flea TO bite. "
He was hard at it when we drove on.

Theology and the Bible.

rev. III. v. n. DIlgBs IN tno
Dogmatic theology is in a state of disso-
luton and reconstruction. The dogmatic
theologians have elaborated protestant
dogma far beyond the later symbolical
books of professionalism. Thinking men are
going back to the symbols of the reform
alton, and then back of these to the ecu
menical creeds, and then still further
back to the theology of the bible itself.
The theology of the bible was sadly neg
lected by the scholastic divines, and it
has found no adequate expression in the
symbolical books of any of the great
churches OF Christendom. They, for the
most part, pursued false methods of ex-
egesis. They knew little or nothing of
biblical criticism. The lower or textual
criticism, the higher or literary criticism,
and historical criticism are sections of
modern scientific study of the bible.
Criticism has made the bible new book.
And the discipline of biblical theology
which builds on the results of criticism
finds in the bible a new theology-new
not in the sense that it destroys anything
that is valuable in the old theology; but
that on the one hand it is simpler, fresh
er, full of life and energy, quickening
and fascinating people as well as preacher,
and, on the other hand, more comprehen-
sive, more profound. more symmetrical and
harmonious. 1t is sublime and indeed
divine, because it brings US face to face
with holy prophets and with God him.

HOW THE CARDS COUNT.
Nine is the highest winning point.
Cards count ace, one; deuce, two, and so
on according to their spots. The tens
and all the picture cards count ten. But
ten has no value in baccarat. It nei-
ther increases nor diminishes the value of
the cards.
