ministers in Wall Street in an address
at the grangers' fair, made the follow
ing statement today:
81 have been taken to task today by
ministers and others who have err

with gambling. I make no SUCH
charge, although l respectfully submit
that even a minister of the gospel
might with propr1ety take advantage
of a good stock investment market
Just as a farmer might in a horse
trade. Why shouldn't he?
81 hold that a minister or layman who
buys stocks in Wall Street is not
gambling. If that were so, two-thirds
of the country bankers would be gam
bling. A clergyman has as much right
to go there as anyone else, and many
eminent divines, both in New York and
the suburbs, have accounts with Wall

exchange houses. And where's the
harm? A priest or a deacon in Wall
