story OF Gambler.
When was in. the Young Mems Chris
tian association work / knew a gambler
who was converted. lie was making 81. 500
a year and he was going up and down the
country showing that you can't beat a
gambler at his own game. He tells a
story of game which was on and one
man was accused OF ringing In cold
deck. The lie was passed and a man shot
another dead
He was sentenced to die and as he was
being prepared on the scaffold, his little
4-year~old son toddled up the steps and
said, Come home. papa" The sheriff
was kind man, and he unbuckled his
feet and hands and let him lift the child
up. He told his son he couldn't come
homo and for him to go away now and
the sheriff would take care OF him. Then
he turned TO the crowd and cried: For
Gods sake, boys don't let my son be
what have BEEN" The trap fell and he
shot into eternity.
A collection was taken for that child
among the crowd and he was placed in a
Christian home. When he was 81 they
gave him his money with accumulated
interest. He started out on career of
crime. lie got down so low that they
wouldn't let him sleep in the police sta
lions. He tried to get enough, and would
clean cuspidors in dirty, filthy saloons to
get enough to live.
Oh, men, blood will tell. I'm pleading
with you that you yield to Christ, so
that your childrens lives will not be
Ibllghted.
Men, there's three things YOU should
always remember where your wives are
concerned. First. show deep personal
interest in her She's entitled to II and
she'll love you the better for H.. Second.
treat her as n companion. She is your
life companion and you should treat her
as such. Third, show her the affection
every woman's heart is craving for. IL
you don't, you shouldn't wonder II some
day another fellow appears on the scene
and gives her all those little attentions
she is craving for and that you have
neglected to give her.
