the speaker eaad, "are very fond of
talking about their luck. In a thou-

seems to be determined by luck.
However, it is of prime importance to
note that God is always, at work neu-
tralizing the power of chance, bal-
ancing good and bad luck against
each outer. If, then, God sets bounds -
to the power wielded by luck we
may well do likewise. Investigation
has proved that the few who in large
lottery prizes 'usually find a way soon
to lose them. Economically speak-
ing, therefore, it is foolish. to endan-
ger such security as one possesses.
While one stock exchange serves a
legitimate and even essential pur-
pose in providing a fair market for
investors, men who use them as a
means of gambling are almost sure
to lose in the end, Taxes and brok-

but r could count all the gamblers. I
ever saw reform on the fingers'of one
hand," and one of our popular . col-
umnists whom one one would suspect
of preaching, recently brought us this
repent: "I have never known a per-
son addicted to gambling giving -rp
that vice. .The habit has all the
chicanery of opium and cocaine and
after a few years of daily betting no
addict is able to hotel a steady job.
Especially should young people be
warned of this. •Thee chances in slot
machines are 2 to 5. In some places
officials shamLlessly condone, pro-
tect and all but legalize gaming
wheels. People are blind to the dan-
ger. Ten years ago there were no
greyhound • racing and Irish Sweep-
stakes, Now these two factors have
more than trebled the amount of
money, spent on gambling. The total
amount spent in one yearG^,in Great
Britain' is between 250,000,000 and
J'. 300,0'00,000. Of this amount some-
thing like £20Q,000,000 remains with
the bookraa.kers and those engaged in
the trade, one-fifth being left for
charity and 20 per centfor prizes.
In the Irish Sweepstake the chance
of winning any prize is 1 in 2,967. In
1932, 10 per cent went. to Irish hos-
pitals. One Irish' hospital received
£50,000, but voluntary subscriptions
dropped 37 per cent with the end of
the year, the hospital was in more
debt than at the eginning. The gain
from the sweepstak did not balance
the loss in subscripts
The whole spirit of giving and
charity is destroyed. Gambling re-
duced efficiency and output of all
classes of workers by 20' per cent.
Canon Green in his book, "Betting
and' Gambling," gives many proofs of
this. The head of the Largest engin-
eering firm in the North of England
stated it would pay any firm to is -sue
a 10 per cent dividend on its capital
every year to stop the gambling as
the loss in time and bad work was
twice that amount.
