But hours wasted in gambling represent only
small fraction of THE total waste.
Think of the able men, keenest, MOST CAP

enough and DIE still working for more, never in
their whole lives having done anything more i'm

From the spiritual point of view their lives
are wasted, for they are mere money makers
But from the practical point of view they are
necessary cogs in a great national industrial ma

refer to the mere NON CONSTRUCTIVE money

Everything in us rebels at waste yet nearly
all of us are wasteful and wasteful Of things that
are most precious in this short life TIME AND
ENERGY
You can easily imagine one of the young men
in the card game above, watching the elephant
grinding the hand organ and saying, If had an
elephant of THAT size and power, should find
something more useful for him to do"
The young man, unfortunately, DOESN'T
say to himself, Having a mind and a body
capable of doing something worth while, l ought
to do"
There are ten thousand kinds of waste, and
especially of WASTED TIME AND ENERGY.
The picture of youths gambling at cards is
selected because it represents, perhaps, the most
frequent, constant waste of time, and THE MOST
FOOLISH
Four men sit down to gamble and among
them have perhaps, all told, $500.
For hours they struggle, watch, CHEAT,
PERHAPS, take every advantage and at the end
of the wasted time and energy they have still
exactly $500 AMONG THEM
their nervous energy and have prepared for them
selves following day of inefficiency and failure
based on lack of sleep.
And they are exactly WHERE THEY
WERE. The four men still HAVE $500, no more,
no less.
One may take little from another the next
night the other will take it back from him.
The four men, had they slept through those
wasted hours, would have gained strength that
would have produced for them twice four hun
dred dollars.
By devoting those hours to study, to some
thing worth while, each could have added to his

Before the great waterfall in Brazil, with
more power than Niagara, and going to waste
you would sigh for engineers to harness it, and

A man that goes away with his family for
a week and returns to find that he left the gas
burning, is angry at himself, no matter how well
he may be able to afford thousand times such
a waste.

President Coolidge, commencing "Fire Pre-

most justly, SHAMEFUL WASTE.
SO deep within us is the hatred of waste that
even the disciples, as Matthew tells you in Chap
ter &c, verse z, rebelled against the generous,
reverent act of the woman with precious ONT
ment Matthew relates the story thus:
''Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the
house of Simon the leper.
'There came unto him woman having
an alabaster box of very precious ointment,
and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
''But when his disciples saw it, they had
Indignation, saying, To what purpose is this

"For this ointment might have been sold
for much, and given to the poor"
Jesus, knowing of his approaching death, re-
buked them:
''For ye have the poor always with you:
but me we have not always.
'For in that she hath poured this oint-
ment on my body, she did it for my burial"
The honor that the good woman thought to
pay to their beloved master so agitated them that
hatred of waste overcame even their reverence
for their teacher
It was Immediately after this incident that
Judas Iscariot leaving the gathering, went to
"the chief of priests" and offered to deliver Jesus

A man of power may have ten thousand men
working for him, and never once in his life look
inside a house in which one of those men lives
with his wife and children.
He will buy their work for as little as pos
sible, and does he ask, "Should make better
bargain, if for that work I paid MORE, and
enabled that mans children to have more now and
better chance later?"
THERE rs WASTED TIME, WASTED
POWER, WASTED ENERGY
It is not the fashion nowadays to believe In
hell, as real blisterng, red hot place where the
body, miraculously preserved, goes on suffering
torment forever
The educated man says, "That's useful
theory about hell excelently planned to keep the
supersttious lower classes in their places and
obedent to law
1t would never do to give up teaching and
preaching hell and eternal FIRE. For if you
don't BRIGHTEN the lower classes into being
good, how are you going to make them good?
But of course, for ourselves, educated and in.
telligent, that is all NONSENSE. It dates
back to time when earthly rulers tortured those
they didn't like, and those that wrote religious
books took it for granted that heavenly ruler
would initiate rulers on earth and ALSO TOR
TURE those that the HEAVENLY ruler didn't
like. So selfish intelligence comforts itself
That is convenient theory, for those that
HAVE and dislike to GIVE what they have
But the Bible is plain about it. Again see
Matthew, Chap. 25 41st verse:
'Then shall he say also unto them on the
left hand, Depart from me, We cursed into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels
Primarily the intended occupant of hell was
proud Lucifer, most beautiful and greatest of the
archangels who rebelled against God in heaven or
ganized his partisans to fight against God, and
was cast down into the hell prepared for him and
his associates, namely, for "the devil and his
angels"
But most distinct is the statement that evil
men twill also find permanent accommodation IN
everlasting fire"
This isn't written to make the rich and heart.
less believe in hell fire. They would only laugh
at that, and some of them have clergymen that
HELP them to feel safe, in case they have any
doubts about it.
But hell fire ought not to be necessary to
make men behave decently, to make those that
have power feel that it is WASTE of opportunity
merely to GET more and more for themselves
when they might be DOING more FOR OTHERS.

national House OF Representatives has passed
bill designed to prevent the transportation OF
deadly weapons by mail. prohibiting the use OF
the mails for the transportation OF pistols and 9th
er firearms that be concealed on the person." will
l,ot stop the traffic in those deadly weapons, OF
course Other means will be found for their dis
trbuton. Still the action Of the House in passing
a bill barring such weapons from the mails is
step in the right direction 1t puts the govern
ment record as opposed to the traffic IN pls-
tolls, and at least discourages that traffic.
"Now, if business interests would follow the
lead OF one Of the great Chicago mail order houses
and cease selling pistols, the country would well
be on the way to relief from the pistol menace.
The handy pistol is of the causes OF our no
torous murder record. Hundreds OF men would
not be behind prison bars today, and thousands
of other murdercrs who free though guilty,
would not have the blood of their fellows upon
their hands, had they not been in possession Of
revolver in a moment of anger"
1t is of course, impossible under the present
conditions, to prevent those who ntlthem from
securing deadly weapons but there is no doubt
that the enforcement of wise and proper legislation
would greatly restrict the number. If it could be
made impossible to get them through any all
the transportation agencies the solution of the
problem would be brought very much nearer.
