for granted that most Of those who
pay special tax as wholesale or re-

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.
There is no other vice that gets
such a hold on a man as does gam

straight into the faces of his flock
at consumes him utterly. Gripped
in its clutches, he forgets his friends.
his family, his home and his God.
Once he yields to it he cannot tell to
what lengths it may lead him.
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
1t off from the first with all the
strength at mans command. For
il the victim does not conquer carly
in the struggle, he will find ii next
to impossible to do so afterward"
Women sobbed loudly as the clergy
man proceeded with his sermon. Men
who had gazed curiously at tho par.
son on his entrance looked at him
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 1t 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.

Any disturbance or trespassing, by
