BIBLE IN A PACK OF CARDS
Smyrna Citizen Finds This Among
Clipping Published Years Ago

A private soldier by the name of
Richard Lee was taken before the
magistrate of Glasgow, Scotland, for
playing cards during divine services.
The account of it is given in an Eng
lish Journal
A sergeant commanded the soldiers
at the church, and when the parson
had read the prayers he took the text.
Those who had bibles took them out,
but this soldier had neither Bible or
Common Prayer Book and pulling out
a pack of cards he spread them before
him. He first looked at one card and
them another.
"Richard, put up the cards. This is
no place for them"
"Never mind that" said Richard.
When the services were over a con-
stable took Richard prisoner and
brought him before the magistrate.
"Well," said the magistrate, "what
have you brought the soldier for?"
"For playing cards in church"
"Well, soldier, what you say for
yourself?"
"Much, sir, hope"
every good. If not, l will punish
you severely"
81 have been," said the soldier
"about six weeks on the march.
have neither Bible nor Common Prayer
Book. have nothing but pack ot
cards, and l hope to satisfy youl
Worship of the purity of my inten'
ton"
Then spreading the cards before the
magistrate, he began with the ace:-
"When l see the ace, it reminds me
that there is but one God.
"When | see the duce, it reminds me
of the Father and Son.
"When | see the four, it reminds me
of the four evangelists that preached
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
"When see the tray it reminds me
of the Father, Son and Holy Cost.
"When l see the five, it reminds me
of the wise virgins that trimmed theil
lamps; there were ten, but five were
wise and five foolish, and were shuf
out.
"When I seen the six, it reminds me
that in six days the Lord made HEAVIER

and earth.
when l see the seven, it reminds
me that on the seventh day God rested
from the great work he had made
and hallowed it.
when | see the eight, it reminds
me of the righteous persons who were
saved when God destroyed the world,
viz, Noah and his wife, his three sons
and their wives.
when | see the nine, it reminds me
of the nine lepers that were cleansed
by our Savior; there were nine of
them that never returned thanks.
when | see the ten, it reminds me
of the Ten Commandments which God
handed down to Moses on the tables of
stone.
"When l see the king, it reminds me
of the great King of Heaven, which is
God Almighty.
"When see the queen, it reminds
me of the Queen of Sheba who visited
Solomon, for she was as wise woman
as he was a man. She brought with
her fifty boys and fifty girls all
dressed in boys apparel for King
Solomon to tell which were boys and
which were girls. The King sent for
water for them to wash. The girls
washed to the elbows, the boys to the
wrist, so King Solomon told by that.
"Well," said the magistrate, "you
have described every card in the pack
except one"
"What is that ?"
"The knave, said the magistrate.
al will give your Honor descrip-
tion of that, too, if you will not be
angry"
"I will not" said the magistrate, iii
you do not term me to be the knave."
"The greatest knave l know is the
constable who brought me here"
81 do not know" said the magis'
trate, "if he is the greatest knave, but
know he is the greatest fool"
"When l count how many spots
there are in a pack of cards, l find
three hundred and sixty-fve, as many
days as there are in the year. When
l count the number of cards in pack
/ find fifty-two, the number of weeks
in year.
1 81 find there are twelve picture
cards in a pack, representing the
number of weeks in a quarter. So
you see, a pack of cards serves for
Bible, an almanac and a Common
Prayer Book"

The Red Cross is the greatest

1.-The reason that l find my heart

the work of the American Red Cross

the fact that the great organization

METHODISTS WANT REV.
lAWLER RETURNED


Unless some unexpected action &C.
ours ut the Methodist conference In
Princeton next week, there will be no
change in the pastorate Of the First
Methodist church In Ottawa during
the coming year. Members Of the
congregation are anxious to have
their present pastor, Rev, II. f. Law.
Ter, returned for another year, and
Rev. l.awler has not been informed OF
any inclination on the part Of the
bishop to send him from Ottawa.
The Ottawa church has made q
great deal Of progress under Rev
LAWYERS leadership, and the members
of the congregation feel that II would
be a big mistake TO take him from
their edifice at this time.
Rev Lawler will leave early next
week to attend the conference. II
will be at this session that the assign
ment Of the pastorates for the coming
year is made While frequently unex
pectcd changes are made during these
assignments, the local church is moi
anticipating any change during the
coming year, as church authorities
know that the ottawa people are anx
ious to have their pastor returned.
