POOL AND BILLIARDS
AND PURE RELIGION
RELATION OF FIRST TWO TO
LAST TO BE JUOlClALLY
SETTLED.
Question Raised IN Answer to One of
Y. NJ. c. 4. Sent.

1t has been put up to the district
court to say what is pure religion
to determine judicially whether poo
and billiards are Inconsistent witt
Christian living.
The question has been raised by
The answer Of s. 5. Soul to the suit
filed against him by the Young Mems
Christian association for the collection
OF 4 subscription of 500.
The defendant is a minister of a
church which takes advanced ground
against what it believes to be forms OF
evil, and pool and billiard tables,
AIR Soul believes to be not merely
forms OF evil but active and efficient
Instruments OF The devil for the lead
ing of souls astray. According to his
answer, he knows how II is himself,
for he has been there.
The essential features of the answer
follow:
The defendant acknowledges that
on or about the day and date alleged
in the complaint, the said defendant
did subscribe TO the funds of the said
plaintiff in the sum Of one hundred
dollars as therein alleged.
And further, that the said subscrip-
ton was made in good faith, with the
expectation Of the fun and complete
performance Of the obligation on the
part of the said defendant
And further. that the above ack-
noWiedged subscription was made on
the understanding that the plaintiff
association was wholly a Christian in
stitution, designed solely for the physi-
cal and moral help and elevation of
XOung men, in harmony with the pure
teachings of the religion of Jesus
Christ
But the defendant further alleges
that before payments were made or
demanded on the said subscription,
the defendant learned that the said
association, plaintiff in this action,
had determined on the placing of GER
tain games, to-wit: pool and billiards,
as a feature Of entertainment in the
building, for which and for the equip
ment of which said subscription was
given
The said defendant further alleges
that these games are vicious and the
teaching or practice of same are in
consistent with the principles Of pure

MAKING TRACKS TO GOOD

When a big dinosaur took a few steps
in the yielding sand near what is now
Grand Junction, Colorado, a few mil
lion years ago, he can have had no
idea that he was sending a boy through
college. Nevertheless. those four dino
saur tracks, denting a bed of sandstone,
have just been sold to various museums
for a sum which will pay good part,
at least, of the owners way through a

religion; that they excite a passion
/ for gambling and gaming; that they
| are in themselves, in great degree,
games of chance; that they work
moral injury in the young, who become
addicted to the practice of them, etc
. And further, that the character of
these games is shown by the fact
that they are commonly found IN
places of doubtful or vile resort
This is shown by the fact that
these games are made the subject
of special police regulation, as are sa-
looms and other forms of licensed vice,
etc.
That where these things are
taught and practiced along with the
precepts of the Bible and the Chris
tian religion, they produce moral and
spiritual dizziness Of perception, so
that a true and discriminating sense
of right and wrong is lost.
The defendant further answers
and alleges that upon a knowledge of
these facts, the said defendant con-
sidered that the implied contract to
build and equip an institution wholly
moral and religious, on the part of the
painful dSSOCldllDu was ny It's OWN
determination and act broken, and,
therefore, null and void.
The said defendant further denies
the allegation OF the plaintiff in item
five of the complaint, in that the
said plaintiff did not proceed to buy
or build, relying on the subscription
OF the said defendant. because upon
the claim on two several occasions
before the building of the said insti-
tuition, the defendant denied the claim
and stated the reason therefor.
The defendant further alleges, in
view of the facts herein set forth,
and because he himself has been a
victim of the vices which nearly de-
stroyed his young manhood, that he
cannot. without great violence to his
conscience and violation of his obli-
cation to Almighty God and the prin-
ciples of pure religion in the use of
mis- money, pay the said subscrip-
ton"
Mr. Scull has such a clear idea of
his objections to the payment of the
subscription that it was not necessary
for him TO go TO a lawyer to have
it put into language. He therefo$
drew the answer himself and filed it
in person
There We're six OF these suits filed
in the district court. the subscription
in each case amounting to 800 or
more. This is the only answer so
far filed. At least one OF the suits !
has been settled out of court.
More than forty of these cases for |
amounting TO less than |
500 have beer filed in Justice john !
stones court. In one of them an !
answer has been filed The defend !
ants objection in that case is that !
at the time he subscribed it was un
derstood that the Y. NJ c. A. build
ing was to be constructed on the 1
northeast corner of the tract bought I
for that purpose, Whereas in viola
ton of that understanding. the build
ing was erected on the southwest
corner.
