BROTHER Noel Jacks, Secretary OF

Association, having previously closed
the theaters aud abolished the dance,
now declares against cards. No
Christian, says this godly man, can
play cards, because cards are the
tools of the gambler" Progressive

soul and offensive to the Almighty as
well as to Brother Jacks. Since we

be represented to the Lord that
since brethren are led into tenota-
