Police, But They Failed
TO Act.

There are too many towards in the
Christian church today, the Rev. DR..
Carlisle l.. Hubbard, pastor OF St
Paul's church declared last night in
a sermon denouncing the use of al
legged gambling devices at the Merry
Whirl" in the Hotel du Pont last
week as a debacle OF immortality.
DR.. HuhSard declared that ne COM
plained about the devices to the police
department but they failed 10 act be-
cause the sentiment OF the people is
in favor Of such practices in the name
Of charity.
God pity us" ne exclaimed. I'VE
sitaround and wonder why the church
j. not respected. II is because of this
sentiment in favor of such practices. II
!s because we have not the courage
20 demand that these things be stop

Will act. When you sit by like craven
towards these things will go on"

the rear OF the Briggs home also
threatened to ignite, and two auto
mobiles were hastily removed TO a
place of safety.
