GAMBLING.
The Law of the Land Disregarded I'm
High PIaces-Worse Than
Stealing.

1t was the voice of prophet that
spoke through the rector of Grace
church, in New York city, when. in
a sermon to New England society,
he turned from praise of the puri-
tans to rebuke the sins which the
pastor of fashionable church finds,
can make no better use of our space,
says the Independent. than to quote
DIR. Huntington's words:
what are these stories that we
hear about the spread of an uncon-
trollable passion for gaming? Is it
possible that there are leaders of So
ciety who lend their countenance to
forms of amusement that are against
the very law of the land? 1t may
be hard to frame an argument against
gambling that will hold in logic; but
shipwrecked lives speak louder than
any syllogism. 1t is not necessary to
be able to diagnose a disease in or
der to suffer from its ravages. Is it
true that hostesses are found in fash
ionable life who will let young men,
whose honesty is their capital, de-
part impoverished by losses at cards
out of the drawing-rooms to which
they have themselves invited them as
guests? If it be true, / cry Shame!
Is it true that young women, reputed
to be of good family and honest
bringing up, exhibit with pride the
jewels bought out of the profits of
the gaming table? Could anything be
more vulgar than such acts as these?
Nay, that is a feeble word could
anything be more infamous? What
avails n crusade against poolrooms
and policy shops. whether by five,
Is or so, if, behind doors which no de-
tective ventures to pass, such things
as these go on?"
Gambling, the Independent editor
goes on to say, differs from stealing
in that both parties give their con-
sent to the transfer of money or
other value from one to the other;
it is worse than stealing in that it
develops into a passion, craze,
which stealing does not. AS DIR.
Huntington says, 1t may be hard to
frame an argument against gambling,
but it's effects supply the argument.
1t is a vicious, contemplate way of
getting other peoples money with
out giving an equivalent. 1t ruins
more young men than any other in
fluence except the saloon, and the
laws of our state recognize that it
must be suppressed.
1t is the high gambling in social
circles against which DIR. Huntington
brings his indictment. But it is the
small gambling that creates the pas
sion for that which ruins. We bring
no foolish objection against simple
game of cards, on which no money
is wagered, any more than we do
against an innocent game of skill
and luck; but no parent should al
low a game in his house, participated
in by children or guests, at which
one cent of coin or value is staked
on the issue. We even hear of gam
bling parties gotten up to secure
funds for a church; monster eucher
parties, with handsome prizes, which
are nothing less than schools of vice
in the name of religion.
A century ago the lottery was re-
garded as decent; now it is illegal
everywhere in the country. The
states are carefully revising their
laws for the protection of the people.

Love of Christ.

Hope and fear are Gospel motives
but only for children In the faith. The
rue motive of the Gospel is personal
affection working in constant fellow

with Christ finds it easier to live for
