BISHOP
CLARK'S
ANNUAL
Stock Gambling, Bridge Whist
and Watering Of Stocks Re.
C0Iv0 Especial Attention.

The annual pastoral letter OF Bishop
Thomas NJ Clark was read at the various
Episcopal churches yesterday. The letter
severely scores bridge whist, stock gamb-
ling and all kinds OF gambling in general.
The letter in part Is as follows:
MY subject presents itself in a two
fold aspect-morality without religion and
religion without morality. I look
around the community and see a great
many persons of whom II is said: They
are very good people. but they are not at
all religious They may occasionally at
tend church. IL there is a popular preach
er, or the music is fine but they do not
confess Christ before men. and have, ap-
parently, no consciousness OF sin or
anxiety about the future life.
Nineteen hundred years ago a Being
appeared upon earth who told US that lie
had come from Heaven to let US know
just what is the character OF God. and
what He requires OF us. lie had a
great deal 10 say about life--a new life,
an eternal life, life of the Spirit, which
required that we should be born again
a life that we must share with Him.
"The present is a period Of great tenn
poral prosperity and OF great peril be-
cause OF this prosperity. The standard
OF wealth Is revolutionized. l can re-
member the day when a millionaire was
a curiosity: today we hear OF American
citizens who control their tens, their
ffties and their hundreds Of millions"
Continuing. nc said one whose gran
cries were filed TO repletion should not
cfl upon his ncighbors 10 pay an eX-
orbitant price for food. and said the time
must come when n way must be found 20
bridge over tho present gaps In society
and bring the capitalist and the working
man into more friendly contact.
And what shall we say OF the women
Of high rank In society and who. by that
position. become an example 20 those In
humber life 10 they spend a large portion
OF each day I'm studying the intricacies Of
a novel game OF cards. and. when evening
comes. gather their friends around the
tables 20 play for money-not as they tell
us. because their personal losses or gains
concern them az ALL but simply IN order
10 give a flavor and interest 90 their play
-frrr---
'Do they consider what may be tho
effect OF all this on the character of the
young people 10 whom they have ex-
tended their hospitality DO they re-
member that they are accountable 10
God for the use they make ~ their time
and for their influence upon others7'
