share Of anecdotes regarding playing
cards. Fuller, gives an example Of a
clergyman preaching from Romans

man the measure Of faith" The rever-

an illustration of his discourse the
metaphor of dealing AZ applied to
cards, reminding his congregation that

THE early days Of Amer

IL observed.
s,s1 y In one state the observa-
tion of Christmas was utterly de-
nounced as an evil, ungodly and per-
nlcious custom, and any child daring
to think Of as much as plum pud-
ding on that day would make himself
liable to reproof by the authorities.
All along the stern and rock-bound
coast, Geraldine Ames writes in the
Churchman, the only Christmas trees
In the days Of the Puritan domination
were those that nature had planted
there and had adorned with fleecy
snow. The fires burned brightly on
the open hearths, but as far as the
children knew, Christmas was just
like any other day in the calendar.
Even after the Puritan reaction
against the forms and customs Of the
old church had spent itself to some
extent the children of the Seventeenth
century still expected no gifts in hon
