THE CRAZE FOR SOCIAL CARD PLAYING

(From sermon by the Rev. W. P McCork1e
Savannah Ga)
Take as a symptom of this frivoty the reck
less devotion to amusement as illustrated by the
craze Tor cards now prevalent in all our cities
Games of skill have in them nothing harmful
Games of chance, played for prizes, are fraught
with unspeakable danger. Speaking to one Of
your most cultured and distinguished citizens
lew days ago. L asked him what he thought OF
that card party, held under the auspices of q
worthy patriotic organization, at which several
scores of children gathered and played for prizes
He answered thoughtfully TT is a dangerous in
nuence Who cannot see that these are words of
wisdom?
Here is a question I would PROFOUND to the
good women of Savannah: Suppose the Enemy of
Souls himself should elect to start a primary
school for gambling, how would he proceed
Would he not have card party and invite all
the children, and have them play for prizes
Nothing better for the purpose, certainly than
cards; and to acquire great skill it is we'll to be
gin early; and if we would learn to gamble. there
is no better way than to play for prizes This
indeed, is gambling. So our courts have decided
again and again. To play for any object of value
is gambling
This is the opinion not of cranks and fanatics
and preachers, but of learned jurists, constituting
the laws of our Christian Commonwealth And
further, should the devil commence a primary
school for gambling would it not be pre-eminentlv
beautiful and gracious women in your community
and have them all lend their approval to his
scheme, and tell the children there is no harm
in it? Think of it, friends! If the Arch-Enemv
OF Souls were to start primary school for
gambling what better scheme could he hit on
than card party for children with prizes for
the successful players and good women as teach
ers.
Surely here is a question worth bordering
Just now publicists affirm that gambling is rap
idly becoming our national vice. Surely it
would be better far to echew cards altogether
than to permit the desire for amusement to de-
generate into craze, and make the social gath
er1ngs of children primary schools of dissipa.
ton and pro1igacy.
Surely, the possibilities of innocent and prof.
table amusement not so few that Christian
people are shut up to card parties as a neces
slty! And surely there is more glaring in.
consistency observable just now than that of
some OF our prominent citizens who are with one
accord-1n the current demand of both political
factions for reform lamorng for the suppress
sion of public gambling, and yet permitting their
own wives and children to violate the law of the
land"

The 9th Series.

Beginning the first Saturday in
April the Modern Building and
Loan Association will begin, or
open, it's 9th series. These shares
will cost you only 20 cents per
week, and will be worth at matu-
rity, which will be only a few years,
500. Best investment any one
can make, and for the poor man
there is none to equal it. just
stop and think for a moment; you
have been renting the house you
are living in for ten, fifteen, or it
may be more years, paying any
where from $500 to $500 per
month for it, and at that rate you
will never own the property. Now
suppose you take out few shares
of stock in the Modern Building
and Loan Association and you Dor
row the money and buy the house
or one just as good as the one you
have been living in, and you pay
from, say about $500 to $1,000
dues every month into the Associa-
ton and at the end of few years
your stock has matured at 500 per
share, the house and lot is yours,
and after that date there is no more
house rent to pay. Just count the
homes in this city that have been
bought and paid for through the
building and loan associationsI
