The elders gave their consent, and
on Sunday night apparently every
member of the congregation was in
tho church. Women gaZed at their
pastor with shocked looks. Men
watched him with queer expressions.
He seemed affected by the battery OF
glances, but he did not finch from the
ordeal he had set for himself.
Instead, he walked with bowed
head and steady stride to the pulpit
and announced that he would preach
on the evils of gambling. A ripple
ran through the congregation, for all
knew of his recent experience, but
everybody became serious again at
sight of the mans white face.

such a hold on man as does gam

Gambling has been responsible
for lying, theft, suicide and murder,
Its subjects are more abject slaves
than those OF drink. There Is only
one thing to DO when the passion for
gaming seizes one, and that is to fight
it off from the first with all the

with sympathy. The officers of the
church appeared to be affected deeply
by the pastors words.
Not movement was made by the
big crowd, which filed the building
to the doors, while Brown, from the
pulpit, strove to save others from the
vice that had proved too strong for
him.
1t is believed the preacher fears his
weakness too much to follow his
calling further, but it is said the
church officers will urge him to keep
his pulpit, in the hope that one who
has suffered as he undoubtedly has
done will be the stronger for his
open confession and the better able to
restrain any tendency to gambling
that may exist among those in his
charge.

BOY COCAINE USERS on THE INCREAsF

Boston, Mass. An anti-cocaine bill
prepared by DR.. Charles Harrington,
of the State Board of Health, has
been brought before the legislative
Committee on Public Health by that
official, who made strong appeal in
its advocacy.
He declared that hundreds upon
hundreds OF Boston boys are slaves
to the cocaine habit, that the harmful
drug can be purchased in saloons,
from cheap drug stores and on the
street from Illegal agents as freely as
one can buy fruit from street hawk
ers, and that the juvenile courts are
filling up with youths who have adj
mitted that their downfall can be
traced to the vicious drug habit.

Lees Summit, M0.-PerhapS the
most astounding revelation ever made
in a 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 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 a poker game in
Kansas City a 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, inding 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 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 card since en-
tering the ministry. 1t was before he
became clergyman that he Gid his
gambling of former years.
To his Amusement, the gaming
fever was so strong in him that he
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
