HOPE AND LOTTERIES.

1t is sometimes said as an apology for
lotteries that the promise of large prizes
their tickets hold forth give to the forlorn
and the wretched the only ray of hope the
world affords OF escape from the continual
grind of poorly paid drudgery. Under
this aspect the lottery is represented as
coming to sad hearts like a benediction
filling the mind with the stimulating glow
of sanguine hopefulness and encouraging
them to bear with cheerfulness the bur-
dens of a life that would otherwise be an
intolerable slavery TO pain or toll.
This fanciful conception of lotteries is
not infrequent. 1t seems to rise naturally
in the minds of a considerable class of peo-
pie, and may possibly have some narrow
foundation in seeming facts. 1t is very
far, however, from being true idea of the
source of the power of lotteries. There is
scarcely o lottery ticket buyer in the thou
sand who is poor and forlorn. Such peo-
pie have too much need of their scanty
coins to afford to gamble with them. The
mass of lottery ticket gamblers is made up
OF people whose means and opportunities
afford them rational hope of advancement
by thrift and industry, but who are de-
ceived by the cunning advertisements of
lottery managers into the belief that they
can get fortune without labor and without
economy by buying q ticket for the next
drawing.
Hope comes to nobody with a lottery
ticket. Hope is a divinely given faculty
of the mind intended to sustain humanity
in the performance of great duties, and as
it was designed for nobler purposes it was
uiU on foundations r. &c
upon self-reliance, self-help, good reason
and the realities OF circumstance. What
inspiration or expectancy is not founded
upon these things is not hope, but miser-
able self-delusion and lying dream which,
SO far from having power to make sad
lives cheerful, works on the other::hand to
ruin even those in comfortable circum-
stances by exciting in them discomfort
which, hurrying the mind from disappoint-
ment to disappointment, ends at last in
complete dependency and utter despair
If any man or woman has been indulg-
ing a belief that the lottery tickets for
which they spend their money have
yielded them returns in cheerfulness and
hope they are victims of similar disease
to that which impels SO many deluded
ones to seek sweet dreams in morphine
opium or cocaine, The strongest minds
will be overcome by the enticement of the
insidious evil if they play with it too long.
1t is best to understand at the start that
in the lottery there is no hope. There is
only delusion, deception, fraud, swindling
and crime. There is money in it only for
the managers, the agents and such news
papers as publish their notices, but there
is blessing in it for nobody, and least of all
for those who try to build their hopes on
it instead of on themselves.

NO CHANGE LIKELY.
Endeavor Headquarters viii Remain in
Boston.

Boston, July S.-Assistant National
Secretary Ellis, of the United Society
Of Christian Endeavor, said to-day of
the Chicago dispatch that there was a
chance of the removal of the Christian
Endeavor headquarters from Boston TO
Chicago, that there is no probability of
such a change, that desire for it exists
only among the Chicago members. The
geographical situation of the headquar-
ters in Boston, he said, made no differ1
ence regarding the work, and DR.. Clark,
the president, does not desire to make
a change. President Clark confirmed
Secretary Ellis statements.
DR.. John H. Barrows, of Chicago,
one Of the trustees, says Of the proposal
to change the headquarters:
"Civic parade would make me very
favorable to the proposition, but at
present a grave reason for the change
hardly exists. The society is organized
under the law of Massachusetts,, and
if it came to Illinois new charter
would be necessary" 4"
