powers and business capacity have gone
down under this mania. by gambling on

bers of our chusches INDUCING in this
deusive dream OF great or sudden gains,
even at the sacrifice of principle.
"Inez," tqis thought reminds me OF your
good letter OF last week on progressive
euchre. | maintain that all card playing
is bad, because il il the door to gambling,
and progressive euchre when played for a

much so as when company of men sit

money and all play for the stake. tho win

because the game is played in some
church deacon's parlor, and his charming
daughters lead the game with their smiles
and winsome ways. or that the prize is a
silver pitcher instead OF the cold, clammy
coin"
"Jacinta," how glad we all are to greet
you among us again. Your letter was
good. Truly, life is made ND OF little
things, and II those little things are good
thoughts and kind acts. the life will be
one noble creed TO shed it's light and bless
