FYFFE o JOHN LODER MARGARET IRET LOCKW00D; Di: erred by ROBERT STEVENSOII41 �1 'Production ....0 d Corning— 'JUAREZ" ramessialmsmozzamosmaor BRUCEFIELD Rev. H. C. Wright preached a force- ful sermon in the Brucel;eld United Chnreli on Sunday morning. August 6th , on "Chance and Gambling," which is gripping the world and even threatening the churches. People, the speaker said, among other thjngs, are very fond of talking about their tuck. In a thousand particulars. our earthly success seems to be deter- mined by luck. However, it is of ±mime importance to note that God is always at work, neutralizing the pow- er of chance, balancing good and bad luck against each other. If then God sets bounds to the power wielded by luck we may well do likewise. Invest- igation has proved that the few who win large lottery prizes usually find El way soon to lose them. Economical- ly speaking therefore it is foolish to endanger such security as one pos- sesses. While our stock exchange seems a legitimate and even essential purpose in providing a fair market for investors, men who use them as a means of gambling are almost sure to lose in the and. Taxes and brok- ers' fees are increasingly loading every transaction, so in all financial gambling the chances are always against one. You recall that Bacon said, "Lookers-on many times see more than gamesters." Count Cavour maintained that European lotteries were a tax. Castelax said "a heavy tax on fools," Games of chance are a trap to catch schoolboy novices and gaping country squires who begin with a guinea and end with a mort- gage. Washington: "This is a vine which is productive of every possible evil equally injurious to the morals and health of its votaries, It is the child of avarice, the brother of gutty, the father of miscltlef." It has been the ruin of many worthy fam- ilies, the loss of many a man's honor and the cause of many suicides. Some one has called it sugar coated robbery. A few gain by this abomin- able practice while thousands are in- jured. In spite of all laws it is as present a rapidly growing evil. Our postoffice department estimates that one thousand million dollars a year are sent from Amerit-an shores for bets, most of it never to return in the widely published prizes, while many times its worth In spiritual treasure is lost in addition to it. It is high time that every pulpit should sound a Loud alarm. We are gravely in peril of becoming a gambling nation. The voice of. God must ring out and .in H's name I tell you with conviction that exactly as the lottery spirit gains control over your heart it will give you the gambler's drab outlook on life; it will drain away the zest and thrill naturally residing in whole- some interests; it will result in a subtle weakening of your moral character, it will break down your Christian goodwill toward others and even when you seem to win you are bound to lose In life's higher values. Nor is gaming a disease you can safely wait to cure, for its only pro- mising remedy is prevention, Jerry McCauley once said, with authority. "I have seen drunkards reform, hun- dreds of them, thieves become hon- est, libertines becomeure, but I could count all the gamblersever I saw reform on the fingers of one hand." One of our popular column- ists whom no one would suspect of preaching, recently brought us this report, "I have never known a person addicted to gambling giving up that vice." The habit has all the chican- ery of opium and cocaine and after a few years of steady betting no ad- dict as able to hold a steady job, Especially should young people be warned of this. The chances in slot machines are 2 to 5. In some places officials shamelessly condone, protect and do all but legalize gaming wheels and some community welfare club carnivals are run on the gambling principle. People are bland to the danger. Ten years ago there were no greyhound racing and sweeps, and these two factors alone have more there two factors alone have more than trebled the amount of money spent on gambling. T,he total amount spent 111 one year on betting in Great 13rItain is between £200,000,000 and £000,000,000. Of this amount some- thing like £201),0t10.000 remains with the bookmakers and those engaged in the trade. one fifth being left for charity and prizes. Still A Bachelor?
