Lees Summit, Mo.-Perhaps the
most astounding revelation ever made
in house of worship came from the
lips of the Rev. Charles s. S. Brown,
pastor of the Christian Church in this
town, in sermon on the evil results
of gambling, for the preacher spoke
from recent experience.
Brown told his congregation that
the passion for gaming utterly con-
sumed its victims, making every man
of them forget friends, family, home
and God. He did not refer to himself
by name, but every one in the church
knew what he said was less a sermon
than a confession, for he returned to
town with draft for $500 and re-
paid to members of his congregation
that amount borrowed from several of
them. He lost in poker game in
Kansas City few days ago the loans
he got from his flock.
1t was when he failed to repay the
lenders promptly that they started an
investigation resulting in the discov-
cry that the parson had frittered
away their money at the gambling
table. Brown. did not deny the
charge. He contented himself with
promising to raise the money, asking
for few days of grace. Then he left
town and was absent until next morn
ing.
The clergyman, when the elders of
the church taxed him with his sin,
said he had succumbed to a craze for
gambling to which he had been sub
ject years before. He thought he had
conquered the passion forever, he
said, but few days ago, iinding him.
self in Kansas City and hearing men
in hotel remark that there was a
poker game in a certain place, he was
seized with a desire to handle the
cards and chips once more.
Brown dressed himself in clothes
as unlike those of his calling as he
could get and went TO the gambling
house. He was admitted readily, and
soon he was playing as If he had
never entered pulpit. He explained
to the elders that it was the first
time he had touched a card since en-
terlng the ministry. 1t was before he
became a clergyman that he did his
gambling of former years.
To his amazement, the gaming
fever was so strong in him that lie
lost all the money he had in his
pocket. 1t amounted to $500, which
he had borrowed in various amounts
from members of his flock for legit.
innate purpose.
Brown, when he returned with the
money necessary to reimburse his
friends, asked the leading men of the
