Hart Assails Cards
in Home or Resort

II large audience gives a speaker an
inspiration. the audience last night in
the Auditorium which packed the main
floor to the limit when Evangelist Hart
discoursed on the Curse Of Cards" was
sufficient. High school pupils attended
$50 strong. approaching with their songs
and yei's. They had center section In
front assigned to them
Mr. Hart said the game Of cards origt-
mated in China centuries ago for the pur-
pose Of keeping a Kings wives from quar-
relling. Then a few centuries later 1t
was introduced in France TO anuse
crazy king Following this the speaker
quoted authorities in rapid order. He
gave the evidence OF 500 Chicago gamb,
lers who testified that all but ten started
their career at the private card table in
homes and psrlors.
He declared that cards were the first
and last tools OF the gamblers as effec-
tive as the most perfect tools Of any safe
blower or crook.
There Is q cyclone OF gambling spirit
today MIR. Hart said. The gaming spirit
has produced the gambling life. with the
results, defaleatlons. forgeries, graft, de-
serted children and wrecked homes. Re-
member no single game OF cards cant be
separated from the evil that comes from
the association of cards The husband
bets ON the ponies at the races. the wife
is shocked. but she toys up and spends
half the night at a fierce game OF whist.
At the stakes there were silver coins. at
the parior game was a silver creamer,
but In the sight Of God and In that Of
the Law they are both gamblers.
Mr.. Hart put great stress upon the folly
and Inconsistency OF the argument of
bringing the cards into the home to keep
the children from the dives. .....-
Mr.. Hart closed with an appeal. using
the surrender OF Horace Bushnell and
the wonderful results OF his surrendered
life and as he did 50. some who had been
devoted TO cards made public confession
OF Christ
